Toch behoorlijk opgeschaald afgelopen twee dagen en ontstaan uit eigenlijk ordinaire storm depressie die iets te zuidelijk zat. Het lijkt alweer zo gewoon, maar dat een tropisch systeem überhaupt kan ontstaan op 38,5 graden N boven water van 22 a 23 graden is toch wel bijzonder.
Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0520 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Subtropical Storm Rebekah is centered near 38.5N 38.8W at 31/0300 UTC or 556 nm W of the Azores. The estimated central pressure is 987 mb and estimated maximum sustained wind speed is 40 kt with gusts to 50 kt. Rebekah is moving E at 15 kt.

A turn back toward the east and east-southeast is anticipated on late Thursday and Friday.
