Another fish, so not much excitement here. :no: Looks to become "Nadine" by tomorrow and a hurricane by Friday morning.

Tropical depression #14 was upgraded to tropical storm Nadine as of 11 PM EDT on September 11. Later at 11 PM EDT on September 14, Nadine became a hurricane. The winds peaked at 80 mph. Currently, Nadine is weakening as it moves slowly over the open Atlantic.

Crank up that ACE score

Nadine is still a tropical storm, but it's not far from going extratropical as it passes south of the Azores.

This thing is still out there? I figured it would be dead by now. :P

Well, NHC did declare it "dead" at 11 PM EDT on September 21, but it regenerated back to a tropical storm at 11 AM EDT on September 23. Now, the weak steering currents and its very slow southward motion over the past few days have kept it alive. It won't be going away anytime soon as it just meanders around like it's lost in the eastern Atlantic.
Nadine has been alive for two weeks now if you subtract out the time it was considered extratropical above. However, we would need to get well past three weeks to start talking about records for the longest-lived tropical cyclone in the Atlantic.

Nadine is now a hurricane. Again. :rofl2:
-
It wont die!

One of the mets at AmericanWx mentioned this about Nadine, anybody think it will come close to this record? :dunno:
FTR, the longest lasting storm last decade... Hurricane Kyle (2002)... had 89 advisories issued on it. We are at 64 with Nadine now.

Nadine certainly has a chance at reaching 22 days of life as there's nothing expecting to harm it until after five days from now. We'll have to wait and see.

It's officially over for Nadine, and NHC certainly had some fun with it today as quoted below in the final public advisory and the final discussion with some information on its longevity in the record books:
