User blog:Bobnekaro/Polar Depression Expected To Form in the Arctic tonight

Invest 91N is expected to be upgraded to a Polar Depression tonight at the 5:00 PM advisory. 91N appears to be improving in organization despite moderate wind shear of 20-25 knots in the Hudson Bay. 91N now reportedly has maximum sustained winds of 30 mph and a minimum pressure of 1007 mbar. The system is producing a "wintry mix" of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. The system is too far north to be given a winter storm name, so it will receive a polar storm name if it forms.

The BNWC model predicts that the depression will quickly dissipate after formation, but will re-develop next week, possibly into a strong polar cyclone, once the system enters the Baffin Bay as expected. The system may not even reach Polar Storm status. If it does reach Polar Storm status, it will be named Bell.

Details at this storm will be released at the 5:00PM advisory.
