Hurricane Epsilon: October 22, Update A

Must be a Thursday... still can't get the hang of them. ;-) It was rather on the busy side of the spectrum, so a very quick update.

Hurricane Epsilon is still a hurricane. The End. 

Ok... Hurricane Epsilon is at 32.6N, 61.6W, heading NNW at 9mph.  It's passing at a safe distance from Bermuda (well done, Bermuda), which got a little bit of a breeze today, and will be staying away from Canada as well - maybe heading to the UK for jaffa cakes and some tea though (lucky thing... I ran out of jaffa cakes about 1 month into this pandemic!) so I'll keep an eye on it. 

It's a cat 1 now with winds of 85mph, central pressure of 968mb). Still not a lot of convection really for a hurricane... 

It's moving over cooler waters but the vorticity (circulation) is still strong in the lower half of the troposphere with some still in the upper levels so I agree with the hurricane status. 

Now, The End. Told you it would be a quick note today. 

Toodle pip!

p.s. make sure you VOTE if you are in the US! (just reminding you in case you forgot there was an election ;-)).
