DAY 163

Tropical Storm Sean has now merged with that trough and has gone post tropical. The satellite picture below was the last discernible image of Sean. You can see the boundary were the cold front and the western edge of Sean met, and the surface swirl with its convection sheared to the east. Sean picked up his pace to above 30 mph and is racing off to the northeast towards Newfoundland. With just 19 days left in the 2011 Hurricane Season, we have 3 names left, and are 1 storm away from matching last years number at T. The GFS shows some hint of organization but no solid leads for the coming week. This might be it people.
