Tropical Storm Paulette just came back to life in the eastern Atlantic. The revival comes days after storm trackers issued what would have been their last update on Paulette. But you can’t keep a storm like Paulette down — it’s come back as a zombie.
In other news, the National Weather Service is clearly just as tired of this year as the rest of us.
Paulette’s resurrection comes more than a week after it slammed into Bermuda as a hurricane. On September 16th, during their last discussion of the storm, the forecasters predicted that there was “some chance” Paulette could pull something like this. At the time, Paulette’s remains weren’t organized like a tropical storm, but it was still kicking, creating high seas — and it was headed into warm water, which fuels cyclones like this one.
The conditions were good enough that Paulette re-formed on September 22nd, but it’s just staggering along. The latest forecast, as of this writing, says that Paulette is weakening and is expected to become a remnant again within a day.
