Subtropical storm in the Mediterranean - November 17, 2017

Medicanes or TLCs (Mediterranean Tropical-Like Cyclones) are relatively rare systems that share similarities with tropical cyclones, including a warm core and sometimes a clearly defined eye. They are infrequent phenomena, which sometimes reach severe status: usually with intense rainfall and some with severe winds (Medicane Qendresa in 2014, for example, reached peak sustained winds of 111 km/h and gusts of 154 km/h as it directly hit Malta). Two regions in the Mediterranean are favourable for Medicane formation: western Mediterranean and the Ionian sea. Both GFS and ECMWF models indicated the possibility of a Medicane in the central Mediterranean, in model runs early in the week. Most high-resolution models now also agree on the formation of a compact low over the central Mediterranean, with several indicating its winds will cross severe threshold (25 m/s, or 90 km/h). Below we review current model guidance of various high-res models

Rain and wind in the: Greece and Italy
Rainfall in: Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia and the Macedonia
