Meteorological Analysis
|
The unnamed subtropical storm originated from an area of convection which
was over the Florida Straits in late May. The area of convection developed a
low level circulation as it drifted NE on the 29th. By the 31st the system began
to accelerate NNE from an approaching trough, and convection formed near the
low level center from an interaction with the trough. The system then gained
enough organization to be considered a subtropical depression on June 1st.
The depression gained subtropical storm strength the same day, reaching
its max intensity of 50 mph late in the day. The subtropical storm then turned
east on the 2nd as it became embedded in a front, and became extratropical
shortly afterwards. This occurred about 120 nm S of New England. The now
extratropical storm dissipated on the 3rd.
