What the IMERG does is “morph” high-quality satellite observations along the direction of the steering winds to deliver information about rain at times and places where such satellite overflights did not occur. Overnight, Buoy 44150, about 100 miles south of western Nova Scotia, observed individual wave heights topping 80 feet, as did a second weather buoy in the vicinity. NASA’s Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM or IMERG, which is a NASA satellite rainfall product, estimated on Sept. 23 at 3:30 a.m. EDT (0730 UTC) that Teddy was generating between 5 and 15 mm (0.20 and 0.60 inches) of rain per hour around the center of circulation. The weather was beautiful. Teddy is a huge storm. Former tropical cyclones that have become fully extratropical or remnant lows are both classes of post-tropical cyclones. At present, it is similar to a typical fall or winter storm — although no snow is falling. After passing to the east of Bermuda through Monday, powerful Hurricane Teddy will set its sights on Atlantic Canada for the middle of the week. On satellite, Teddy’s extratropical transition was as aesthetically striking as it was meteorologically elegant. Historically, hurricanes have struck Canada about once every three years. The storm … In a typical hurricane, tropical storm-force winds typically extend out from the center about 100 or 200 miles. Equally impressive have been the 30-to-40-foot near-shore waves, with a few 50-footers likely well offshore.

HALIFAX -- An update Monday's from the National Hurricane Center declared Teddy a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 150 km/h. This near-real time rainfall estimate comes from the NASA’s IMERG, which combines observations from a fleet of satellites, in near-real time, to provide near-global estimates of precipitation every 30 minutes. Meanwhile, a few slots of clear sky began to emerge southwest of the center as a wedge of cooler, drier air started to work in from the northwest. “The surprising thing about Teddy was the sheer size of the storm as it approached.”. On the northwest side of Teddy, a razor-sharp edge in the overcast can be seen where dry air abuts the storm. Hurricane Teddy remains on track to pass through wide areas of Atlantic Canada on Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing fierce winds and heavy rainfall.. Teddy made landfall in the Sheet Harbour area of Nova Scotia on the province’s Eastern Shore around 7:30 a.m. EDT, Sept. 23. The National Hurricane Center defines “extra-tropical” as a transition that implies both poleward displacement (meaning it moves toward the north or south pole) of the cyclone and the conversion of the cyclone’s primary energy source from the release of latent heat of condensation to baroclinic (the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses) processes. In addition to the heavy rainfall, Teddy causing destructive waves and strong winds today, Sept. 23, for portions of Atlantic Canada. The Weather Network's Tyler Hamilton explains. Hurricane Teddy has transitioned to a large post-tropical cyclone over eastern Canada. Add to shortcuts. Elsewhere across the Atlantic, the atmosphere is quiet. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) issued three key messages about Teddy on Sept. 23: NHC Senior Hurricane Specialist Richard Pasch said, “Teddy’s deep convection has been diminishing, but based on buoy observations the cyclone still has a strong circulation with a central pressure in the 950’s (millibars). The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north-northeast near 23 mph (37 kph), and this motion, with an increase in forward speed, is expected for the next day or so.

For a time, Teddy’s core existed as a warm seclusion, meaning that a bubble of warm, moist air had pinched off from the tongue of tropical atmosphere to the south that connected it; that lobe of warmth was eventually swallowed by the dry slot as Teddy’s structure lost virtually all tropical characteristics. The textbook-style evolution of the system put on a show for weather satellites. As Hurricane Teddy moves into Canadian waters, there is a reasonable chance of hurricane-force winds near and south of the track, mainly over southern Atlantic Canada forecast waters. Structurally similar to … “Sandy was an extraordinarily large hurricane,” Brennan wrote. On Wednesday, the GOES East weather satellite revealed the center of circulation associated with former Hurricane Teddy moving inland over eastern Nova Scotia near the town of Ecum Secum. “Arguably we see the strongest lows anywhere in eastern North America or a regular basis,” wrote Eddie Sheerr, a broadcast meteorologist in Newfoundland. October is climatologically a time when we must turn our eyes toward the western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, and already there are signs that activity could roar to life once again. NHC defines a post-tropical cyclone as a former tropical cyclone. The most significant hazard expected from Teddy is large destructive waves forecast along the southern coast of Nova Scotia today. Post-tropical cyclones can continue carrying heavy rains and high winds. However, this is really just a technicality, as the impacts will still match those of a hurricane," Douty explained. Warnings and Watches in Effect on Sept. 23. Naval Laboratory in Washington, D.C., the IMERG rainfall data was overlaid on infrared imagery from NOAA’s GOES-16 satellite to provide a full extent of the storm. NASA's Aqua satellite used infrared light to identify strongest storms and coldest cloud top temperatures in Hurricane Teddy as it nears eastern Canada. Mike Brennan, chief of the Hurricane Specialist Unit at the National Hurricane Center, wrote in an email that Teddy’s width was about an eighth smaller than Sandy’s, but that could change depending on what later data becomes available.

Sep. 23, 2020 – NASA Sees Post-Tropical Storm Teddy Generating Heavy Rain Over Eastern Canada Hurricane Teddy has transitioned to a large post-tropical cyclone over eastern Canada. Assuming a gradual spin down of the system since the earlier aircraft observations, the estimated maximum winds have dropped to just below hurricane strength. Last Thursday, Teddy was a powerhouse Category 4 hurricane zeroing in on an eventual track east of Bermuda. It was still a hurricane on Monday but was showing the first signs of extratropical transition — a more elongated tail of clouds formed on the eastern flank, evocative of a comma-like tail draped back from the storm. It made landfall as a post-tropical storm but did considerable damage and left 300,000 residents without power. At the mid-latitudes, extratropical cyclones are powered by horizontal temperature gradients and the clash of air masses. By combining NASA precipitation estimates with other data sources, we can gain a greater understanding of major storms that affect our planet. "Teddy will interact with an upper-level storm system moving across eastern Canada early in the week, and become an extratropical storm before making landfall in Nova Scotia Tuesday night. Hurricane Teddy will likely impact Atlantic Canada and the Gulf of St. Lawrence region as a strong post-tropical storm over Tuesday and Wednesday, said an information statement issued by Environment Canada.
