Idalia, Franklin, and WTF is that?

The low at 29.55 is Idalia, just to the northeast of that is Franklin; What the hell is that massive system to the north? Must be huge.

You have to remember it's a Mercator Projection map, so everything far from the equator is massively skewed in area.
That system to the north isn't nearly as large as it looks. It's still huge, but the sytems by the equator aren't as small as they appear, relatively.

That North Atlantic system is common this time of year. I think they call the storms Nor'easters or some Maine/Newfie term like that.

that is a semi permanent low pressure sets up in the north atlantic. usually during winter and springtime though this one is quite early. could be a sign of a crude winter in the northern hemisphere

Farmer's Almanac is predicting a cold and stormy winter for us Okleehomerans.

I'm fucking excited. I love snow.

You don't get the spinny spinny without the cold low. Hot weather meeting cold weather, pressures collide.
