Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sun Sep 29 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Isaac, located several hundred miles northwest of the Azores, and
on Tropical Storm Joyce, located over the central Atlantic Ocean.

Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic (AL90):
Recent satellite imagery indicates that the circulation associated
with an area of low pressure located several hundred miles west-
southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is becoming better defined.
Environmental conditions are favorable for continued development of
this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form early this
week, possibly as soon as tonight. The low will continue to move
westward and then northwestward across the eastern and central
tropical Atlantic. Additional information on this system, including
gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the
National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
A broad area of low pressure located over the western Caribbean Sea
is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental
conditions appear to be conducive for gradual development, and a
tropical depression could form around the middle part of this week
while the disturbance meanders towards the west-northwest. This
system is then expected to move northwestward into the Gulf of
Mexico during the latter portion of this week, and interests in the
northwestern Caribbean Sea and along the U.S. Gulf Coast should
monitor its progress.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Eastern Atlantic:
A low-latitude tropical wave located near the coast of western
Africa is currently producing limited shower and thunderstorm
activity. Upper-level winds are forecast to become more conducive
for gradual development of this system during the next several days
while it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward over the
eastern Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

Tropical Storm Joyce Forecast Discussion Number 9

9 months 2 weeks ago
Issued at 1100 AM AST Sun Sep 29 2024 000 WTNT41 KNHC 291439 TCDAT1 Tropical Storm Joyce Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112024 1100 AM AST Sun Sep 29 2024 The center of Joyce is exposed on the southern side of a small area of deep convection due to continued strong south-southwesterly vertical wind shear. The most recent scatterometer data from 1230 UTC indicates at least 35 kt winds are within the circulation, and given the known low bias of the instrument, 40 kt is chosen as the initial intensity, closest to a blend of the TAFB T- and CI-numbers. The storm has been moving more slowly this morning, estimated to be northwestward at about 5 kt. Joyce should turn northward on Monday due to a deep-layer trough over the north-central Atlantic. The only notable change to some of the guidance this cycle is that they generally agree Joyce or its remnants will be less vertically deep by mid-week. This evolution should result in less northward acceleration as the circulation decays due to persistent shear and dry air aloft. Thus, the new NHC forecast is a bit to the left and slower based on the latest aids. The intensity guidance remains in good agreement, and the only slight intensity change from the last advisory is to show Joyce becoming a remnant low at 48 h.

Hurricane Isaac Forecast Discussion Number 15

9 months 2 weeks ago
Issued at 300 PM GMT Sun Sep 29 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 291436 TCDAT5 Hurricane Isaac Discussion Number 15 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL102024 300 PM GMT Sun Sep 29 2024 Hurricane Isaac continues to maintain a small inner-core, which has proved resilient in an increasingly unfavorable environment characterized by strong deep-layer vertical wind shear near 30 kt and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) around 23C. The satellite appearance of the hurricane has been relatively steady this morning, with consistent bursts of deep convection near the center. The initial intensity is set to a possibly generous 65 kt, which is on the higher end of the subjective and objective intensity estimates. The tropical cyclone is forecast to track over cooler SSTs and into increasing west-southwesterly vertical wind shear, which will induce steady weakening through the forecast period. The intensity forecast is similar to the previous forecast. There is evidence on visible satellite this morning that Isaac has begun to interact with a baroclinic zone to its north and east, in addition to wrapping dry air from the northwest around the southern side of the circulation. These factors are likely to result in Isaac becoming an extratropical cyclone by Monday. Isaac's forward motion continues to be northeastward (045/10 kt) as it is steered by deep-layer southwesterly flow. This general motion should continue for the next day or so, with a turn toward the north-northeast expected by the middle part of this week in response to a mid- to upper-level trough approaching from the west. The cyclone is then forecast to turn back towards the northeast beyond 72 hr as it tracks along the southeastern periphery of an upper-level trough. Once again, the track forecast is adjusted eastward from the previous advisory beyond the 24 hr period, in agreement with the latest consensus guidance.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Sun Sep 29 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Isaac, located several hundred miles northwest of the Azores, and
on Tropical Storm Joyce, located over the central Atlantic Ocean.

Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic (AL90):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an elongated area of low
pressure located a few hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo
Verde Islands have become better organized since yesterday.
Environmental conditions are conducive for gradual development of
this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the
early or middle part of this week while the system initially moves
westward and then northwestward across the eastern and central
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

Western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
A broad area of low pressure located over the western Caribbean Sea
is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental
conditions appear to be conducive for gradual development, and a
tropical depression could form around the middle part of this week
while the disturbance meanders towards the west-northwest. This

monitor its progress.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Eastern Atlantic:
A tropical wave located near the coast of western Africa is
currently producing limited shower activity. Some gradual
development of this system is possible during the next several days
while it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward over the
eastern Atlantic Ocean.

Hurricane Isaac Forecast Discussion Number 14

9 months 2 weeks ago
Issued at 900 AM GMT Sun Sep 29 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 290839 TCDAT5 Hurricane Isaac Discussion Number 14 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL102024 900 AM GMT Sun Sep 29 2024 The strong deep-layer shear and sub-24C sea surface temperatures continue to disrupt Isaac's cloud pattern, although recent images show a small burst of deep convection developing near the surface center. The outer convective curve bands are diminishing and have dissipated in the east semicircle of the cyclone. Based on the latest Dvorak satellite intensity estimates and a UW-CIMSS SATCON analysis, the initial intensity is set at 70 kt. Decreasing oceanic surface temperatures and a sharp increase in west-southwesterly vertical shear support further weakening as an extratropical cyclone through day 5. Isaac could lose what remains of its organized deep convection later tonight and become a post-tropical cyclone, as suggested by the global model simulated/IR forecast. In any event, extratropical transition is anticipated by Monday evening due to baroclinic forcing from a middle-latitude trough and the proximity of a frontal boundary. Isaac's initial motion is estimated to be northeastward, or 045/11 kt as it continues to be steered by the mid-latitude southwesterly flow. A turn toward the north-northeast by the middle part of this week is forecast in response to a mid- to upper-level trough approaching the cyclone from the west-northwest. Around the 72 hr period, Isaac should turn northward while moving around the eastern periphery of a larger baroclinic low-pressure system. An adjustment slightly to the right of the previous track advisory is again needed beyond the 24 hr period to conform with the latest consensus guidance.
