Noel developed from a non-tropical low that became a subtrpiccal storm on 
November 4th about 890 miles South of Cape Race, Newfoundland. The northward-
moving cyclone acquired more tropical characteristics and strenghtened into a
hurricane on the 5th about 615 miles South-Southeast of Cape Race. Noel soon 
weakened to a tropical storm and while accelerating northward, lost its 
tropical characteristics on the 6th, about 330 miles Southeast of Cape Race.
It was absorved by another extratropical low soon thereafter.
