Key Points:
- A subtropical storm may develop in the Atlantic this week, potentially becoming Subtropical Storm Kyle, marking the first activity in the basin after two weeks of quiet.
- The system could form from a broad area of low pressure off the East Coast, northeast of the Bahamas, if thunderstorms intensify near its center.
- The storm has a limited window to develop this week before unfavorable conditions likely prevent it from being named by the weekend.
- It is expected to remain far offshore, posing no threat to the U.S., and will likely drift east or northeast into the open Atlantic Ocean.
- Subtropical storms are hybrid systems with characteristics of both tropical storms and frontal low-pressure systems, capable of producing heavy rain, gusty winds, and storm surge.
