Leslie Becomes A Subtropical Storm Again

As expected Kirk has dissipated in the strong wind shear over the Caribbean. Leslie has regained subtropical status.

Leslie is gradually showing some tropical characteristics with deep convection focused near the center. But it is still attached to a complex low, keeping it at subtropical status.

Leslie is sitting in an area of shear, but it will move into warmer water over the next few days as the shear lessens allowing the storm to become fully tropical and strengthen.

Computer models are in good agreement with Leslie meandering in the north central Atlantic for several more days. Large swells generated by the storm are reaching Bermuda and will soon reach the Greater and Lesser Antilles.
