Sean Becomes Post-Tropical
October 15, 2023 at 11:24 PM EDT
By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Kayla St. Germain
Sean has degenerated into a post-tropical storm, losing tropical characteristics.
As of 11 p.m. AST/EDT, the National Hurricane Center has downgraded Sean to a post-tropical storm. Post-tropical Sean was located near 18.2N and 49.3W, or about 905 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands. The system has maintained sustained winds of 30 mph, while moving west-northwest at 12 mph. It has a minimum central pressure of 1011 mb, or 29.86 inches of mercury.
Sean was the nineteenth name storm of the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season, and there is more activity bubbling up in the basin. There is a cluster of disorganized storms following closely behind Sean which may become better organized over the next few days. Should this system become better organized, it would be given the name “Tammy” and would be the 20th named system of the season.
Climatology-wise, we have begun to exit what is considered the annual peak of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. However, it is not unusual to see an uptick in storms develop as we approach the official end of the season in November.
