POST TROPICAL STORM LESLIE WRAP

Better late than never... here is the final breakdown on Post Tropical Storm Leslie.

After stalling for days and days South of Bermuda, Leslie finally began her track Northward when a frontal trough began to move off of the Eastern Seaboard on the 8th/9th/10th. That trough helped pull Leslie Northward into Atlantic Canada and also tapped into Leslie's moisture. As a result the trough dropped huge amounts of Rain over the Maritimes and then Western Newfoundland. The 2 systems continued to merge Monday into Tuesday as the Storm rolled into Newfoundland. Have another look with the Satellite/Radar below.


Again, Leslie made landall on Tuesday morning, around 8:30 am near Fortune as a Category 1 Hurricane strength, Post Tropical Storm. The storm departed the Island near Deadman's Bay around 12:30 pm. 

Here are the final numbers from the Storm & trough combination.
