SPECIAL POLAR WEATHER OUTLOOK BOB NEKARO WEATHER CENTER RALEIGH, NC 505 PM EST TUE FEB 27 2018

For the Arctic basin:

1. A large non-polar area of low pressure, located about 600 miles east of Newfoundland, has become a little better organized since yesterday. Satellite derived wind data indicate that this system is producing winds to just below gale force. Upper-level winds are gradually becoming more conducive for development, and this system could become a subpolar depression or storm within the next day or two. Conditions are expected to become hostile for further development by Friday. The next Special Polar Weather Outlook on this system will be issued by 4:00 PM EST Wednesday.
