The remaining of the Extratropical storm PAULA (7 October 960 Hpa - sea surface +14°C) moved south east and acquired a warm core and tropical or subtropical caracteristic on 9-10 October giust north west Spain coast ( 994 Hpa - sea surface +20°).
The little system have 35 knts wind (tropical storm intensity) .





LOOK the system in the night 9-10 October:

Fantastico compañero, yo llevaba toda la noche observando y pense herroneamente que era el vortice principal de Paula que estaba convirtiendose en una pequeña BFA, buena vista sin duda y Gayle se lo esta perdiendo  ....que pena que en teoria se valla para Marruecos y no entre por el estrecho direccion Andalucia Oriental para salir al calorcito del mediterraneo del mar de Argel o de las Baleares que entonces si que explotaria la cosa.

The storm Paula continue to Marocco coast over +22,5°C sea surface:

In the other hand, this is another good example of nice tranformarion of the convective core of a deep cold low. Last year was GRACE... But, some more cases in other years before are very similar. The eastern Atlantic, the new nest of little tropical cyclone activity, man!

Look at this, Danielle: once again, a possible tropical development over Western Mediterranean Sea
