Tropical Storm Odette
On September 11, the NHC began monitoring an area of low pressure over the southeastern Bahamas. At 21:00 UTC on September 17, advisories were initated on Tropical Storm Odette.208 Soon afterward, the storm began an extratropical transition. During this process, its deep convection was consistently displaced well to the east of a poorly-defined center due to strong westerly wind shear. The system's circulation was elongated from southwest to northeast and contained multiple low-cloud swirls. Odette completed extratropical transition late the following day, becoming a post-tropical cyclone. After degenerating into a non-tropical low pressure system, the remnants of Odette drifted into the northern Atlantic on September 19, producing gale-force winds. Afterward, Odette's remnants continued moving out into the Atlantic, moving northeastward, before turning southward, and then curving northward and westward. During this time, the NHC monitored Odette's remnants for the potential to redevelop into a subtropical or tropical cyclone, with the NHC increasing Odette's chances of redevelopment to 60% on September 23. However, on September 24, most of the system's convection dissipated, while the system turned eastward yet again, and with conditions growing increasingly hostile, the NHC downgraded Odette's chances of redevelopment to 0%.
