Subtropical Storm Sean

Subtropical Storm Sean developed in the Atlantic, bringing with it 50 mph winds and a 995 mb central pressure. It is expected to move northeast, as shown in this map:
This storm is not expected to directly affect the US, but it will bring Bermuda tropical storm conditions.  Bermuda is currently under a tropical storm warning.  Here is the probability that winds will exceed tropical storm force because of this storm:
We can see that Bermuda has at least a 30% chance at seeing tropical storm force winds.  If the track stays the same, then these will only increase.  Here is the maximum wind forecast from the NHC:
We can see that after a peak of 60 mph, Sean will slowly decrease in intensity.  Bermuda folks will definitely need to watch this storm.  Stay tuned!
