Tropical Storm Dorian Forecast Discussion Number 10

5 years 10 months ago
Issued at 500 PM AST Mon Aug 26 2019 000 WTNT45 KNHC 262055 TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Dorian Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052019 500 PM AST Mon Aug 26 2019 Dorian's convective pattern has waxed and waned this afternoon due to intrusions of dry mid-level air while the upper-level outflow pattern has continued to expand and become more symmetrical. Although the inner-core convection has decreased recently, a recent burst of strong convection with cloud tops colder than -80C has redeveloped just north of the low-level center. The initial intensity remains at 50 kt based on a an average of satellite intensity estimates ranging from 45 kt to 61 kt from TAFB, SAB, and UW-CIMSS SATCON and ADT. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate Dorian by 0000 UTC this evening, and will provide a better estimate of the cyclone's intensity. The initial motion is west-northwestward or 290/12 kt. There is no significant change to the previous forecast track or reasoning. The latest NHC model guidance remains in very agreement that Dorian will move west-northwestward across the central Lesser Antilles tonight and into the northeastern Caribbean Sea on Tuesday as the cyclone moves around the edge of the Bermuda-Azores ridge located well to the north. On Wednesday, Dorian should turn northwestward into a small weakness in the ridge, allowing the tropical cyclone to pass near or between western Puerto Rico and the eastern Dominican Republic. By late Thursday and Friday, the ridge is forecast to build back in as an upper-level trough lifts out to the north, causing Dorian to turn back toward the west-northwest in the vicinity of the central Bahamas. The new official forecast track is just an extension of the previous one since the latest model guidance, especially the consensus models, are tightly packed around the previous track forecast. The intensity forecast remains something of an enigma. The majority of the environmental conditions support at least steady strengthening, with the main hindrance being the very dry mid-level air surrounding the cyclone and occasionally being entrained into Dorian's inner-core region. The small but robust circulation should continue mix out the brief dry air intrusions, but when an eyewall will form is still uncertain. Given that Dorian will be moving into the convective maximum period later tonight, the intensity forecast still calls for Dorian be near hurricane strength when it passes through the Windward Islands. Interaction with Hispaniola and possibly Puerto Rico should result in some weakening in 72-96 hours, followed by restrengthening on days 4 and 5 when Dorian will be moving over the very warm waters in the Bahamas in low shear conditions. Most of the global models along with the statistical- dynamical SHIPS and LGEM intensity models are now showing pronounced strengthening while Dorian is moving near or through the Bahamas, so the official forecast shows a significant change to the previous one at 96 and 120 hours. However, confidence in the intensity forecast at days 4 and 5 is very low given the uncertainty about how much of Dorian's core will interact with Hispaniola. Key Messages: 1. Dorian is expected to bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the Lesser Antilles tonight and Tuesday, where tropical storm watches and warnings are in effect. Hurricane conditions are possible in St. Lucia, where a Hurricane Watch is in effect. Rainfall of 3 to 8 inches is expected from Martinique to St. Vincent, including Barbados, with isolated totals as high as 10 inches possible. 2. Tropical storm conditions are possible in Puerto Rico on Wednesday, where a tropical storm watch has been issued. Rainfall of 2 to 4 inches with maximum totals of 6 inches are possible across Puerto Rico and St. Croix. 3. Watches will likely be issued for portions of Hispaniola tonight or Tuesday, as the threat of wind and rain impacts continues to increase. 4. While uncertainty is high, wind and rain impacts are possible in the Bahamas and Florida later this week and this weekend. Residents in these areas should monitor the progress of Dorian and ensure that they have their hurricane plan in place.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Dorian was located by satellite and Martinique radar near latitude 12.7 North, longitude 58.8 West. Dorian is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through Tuesday night, followed by a turn toward the northwest on Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center of Dorian is expected to move near the Windward Islands this evening and tonight and move into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Tuesday. Dorian is forecast to pass near or south of Puerto Rico on Wednesday and approach eastern Hispaniola Wednesday night. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next few days, and Dorian could be near hurricane strength when it passes through the northern Windward Islands on Tuesday, and it is expected to be a hurricane when it moves near Puerto Rico and eastern Hispaniola. Satellite-derived surface wind data indicate that Dorian remains a compact tropical cyclone. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Rainfall: Dorian is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to 8 inches in the Windward Islands from Martinique south to St. Vincent, including Barbados.

Issued at 500 PM EDT Mon Aug 26 2019 000 WTNT41 KNHC 262038 TCDAT1 Tropical Depression Six Discussion Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062019 500 PM EDT Mon Aug 26 2019 The circulation associated with the area of low pressure that has been tracked across the western Atlantic the past several days has become better defined during the past 24 hours. The associated convection, which is located well to the southeast of the low-level center due to shear, has also become more persistent and organized into a band today. As a result, advisories are being initiated on a tropical depression. The initial wind speed has been set at 30 kt, based on earlier ASCAT data. There were a few 35-kt vectors in the ASCAT-A overpass but those data appeared to be rain-inflated. The depression is currently located over warm water but within an environment of moderate westerly shear, which is likely to continue during the next day or so. Although some slight strengthening is forecast, the shear is likely to prohibit significant deepening during that time. After 36 h, the shear is forecast to decrease while the system moves northeastward and some modest strengthening is anticipated. Later in the period, an approaching mid-latitude trough may also help to strengthen the cyclone due to baroclinic processes, and the system is forecast to become extratropical in 3 to 4 days, and should be absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone by day 5. The initial motion estimate is a somewhat uncertain 080/2 kt. The depression is forecast to drift eastward or northeastward during the next day or so as it remains in an area of weak steering flow between a couple of mid-level anticyclones. As the aforementioned mid-latitude trough approaches the northeastern United States on Wednesday, it should cause the cyclone to accelerate northeastward well east of the east coast of the United States. The track guidance is in relatively good agreement, but there are some differences in how fast it will be ejected northeastward. The NHC track forecast leans toward the slower ECMWF solution during the first day or so, then closer to the consensus aids later in the period.

A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours. Interests in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Hispaniola should monitor the progress of Dorian as watches for these areas later could be required later today. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 PM AST (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Dorian was located by satellite and Martinique radar near latitude 12.5 North, longitude 58.3 West. Dorian is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through Tuesday night, followed by a turn toward the northwest on Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center of Dorian is expected to be near the Windward Islands late today and tonight, and move into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Tuesday. Dorian is expected to pass near or south of Puerto Rico on Wednesday and approach eastern Hispaniola Wednesday night. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next few days, and Dorian could be near hurricane strength when it passes through the northern Windward Islands on Tuesday, and it is expected to be a hurricane when it moves near Puerto Rico and eastern Hispaniola. Dorian is a small tropical cyclone. Tropical-storm-force winds only extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Rainfall: Dorian is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to 8 inches in the Windward Islands from Martinique south to St. Vincent, including Barbados. Isolated maximum totals of 10 inches are possible across the northern Windward Islands. Rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are expected from the Grenadines, south to Grenada and across Dominica. WIND: Hurricane conditions are possible tonight and early Tuesday within the Hurricane Watch area in the Lesser Antilles. Tropical storm conditions are likely in the warning area by late today. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch area by tonight or Tuesday. SURF: Swells generated by Dorian will be affecting portions of the Lesser Antilles by late today. These swells could cause life- threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Mon Aug 26 2019

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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Dorian, which is approaching the Lesser Antilles.

Recent satellite wind data indicate that the low pressure area
located about 300 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina
has become better defined since yesterday, and is producing winds to
near tropical storm force well southeast of its center. The
associated thunderstorm activity is also showing signs of
organization. Conditions appear conducive for additional
development, and a tropical or subtropical cyclone is likely to form
later today while the system moves slowly northeastward well
offshore of the United States east coast. Additional information on
this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the
National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Tropical Storm Dorian Forecast Discussion Number 9

5 years 10 months ago
Issued at 1100 AM AST Mon Aug 26 2019 000 WTNT45 KNHC 261500 TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Dorian Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052019 1100 AM AST Mon Aug 26 2019 Satellite imagery indicates that Dorian's convective and outflow pattern have continued to improve, with a narrow poleward outflow channel now apparent in water vapor images. Passive microwave imagery has shown a persistent low-level eye-like feature along with an intermittent mid-level eyewall forming that quickly erodes due to mid-level dry air entrainment. The initial intensity of 50 kt is based on a blend of satellite intensity estimates ranging from 45 kt to 56 kt from TAFB, SAB, and UW-CIMSS ADT and SATCON. The initial motion is now west-northwestward or 285/12 kt. Dorian is expected to continue moving west-northwestward today through Tuesday night as the cyclone moves around the southwestern periphery of a deep-layer subtropical ridge situated to its north. On Wednesday, Dorian is forecast to turn northwestward toward a weakness in the ridge, which could allow the cyclone to pass near or between western Puerto Rico and the eastern Dominican Republic. By late Thursday and Friday, all of the model guidance indicates that the ridge will build back as an upper-level trough/low weakens and lifts out to the north, which should result in Dorian turning back toward the west-northwest in the vicinity of the Bahamas. The new NHC track forecast has been nudged slightly to the right or north of the previous one and lies close to the tightly clustered consensus models HCCA, FSSE, TVCN, and TVCX. The intensity forecast is less straight-forward than the track forecast. Environmental conditions, except for the abundance of dry mid-level air surrounding and occasionally being entrained into Dorian's inner-core region, would favor at least steady strengthening due to very low vertical wind shear, SSTs of at least 29C, and the small overall circulation and inner-core wind field. The recent development of a poleward outflow channel and possible development of an equatorward channel would also support strengthening. However, until Dorian closes off a solid eyewall, only slow strengthening is likely. Anticipating when an eye will form is challenging, but Dorian could be a hurricane by the time it reaches the Windward Islands. The intensity forecast has been adjusted upward form the previous advisory, but is not as high as the statistical-dynamical SHIPS and LGEM intensity models. Interaction with Hispaniola and possibly Puerto Rico should result in some weakening in 72-96 hours, followed by restrengthening on day 5 when Dorian will be moving over the very warm waters in the Bahamas in low shear conditions. Given the unknown degree of interaction with Hispaniola, the intensity forecast at days 4 and 5 is of very low confidence. Key Messages: 1. Dorian is expected to bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the Lesser Antilles tonight and Tuesday, where tropical storm watches and warnings are in effect. Hurricane conditions are also possible in portions of the Windward Islands, and a hurricane watch has been issued for St. Lucia. Residents in these areas should refer to advice from local government officials and products from their local meteorological service for additional information. 2. Dorian is expected to produce 3 to 8 inches of rainfall from Martinique to St. Vincent, including Barbados, with isolated totals as high as 10 inches in portions of the northern Windward Islands. 3. The risk of direct impacts from wind and rainfall has increased for Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Interests in those areas should monitor the progress of Dorian and tropical storm or hurricane watches will likely be required later today. 4. Any potential impacts from Dorian in the Bahamas and Florida later this week are highly uncertain, given the potential for the system to interact with the high terrain of Hispaniola.

LUCIA MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...60 MPH...95 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 285 DEGREES AT 14 MPH...22 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1002 MB...29.59 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY: A Hurricane Watch has been issued by the government of St. Lucia for St. Lucia. The government of France has upgraded the Tropical Storm Watch to a Tropical Storm Warning for Martinique. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Hurricane Watch is in effect for... * St. Lucia A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Barbados * Martinique * St. Lucia * St. Vincent and the Grenadines A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * Dominica * Grenada and its dependencies * Saba and St. Eustatius A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case, within the next 24 hours. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours. Interests in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Hispaniola should monitor the progress of Dorian as watches for these areas later could be required later today. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Dorian was located near latitude 12.3 North, longitude 57.7 West. Dorian is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through Tuesday night, followed by a turn toward the northwest on Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center of Dorian is expected to be near the Windward Islands late today and tonight, and move into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Tuesday. Dorian is expected to pass near or south of Puerto Rico on Wednesday and approach eastern Hispaniola Wednesday night. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next few days, and Dorian could be near hurricane strength when it passes through the northern Windward Islands on Tuesday, and is expected to be a hurricane when it moves near Puerto Rico and eastern Hispaniola. Dorian is a small tropical cyclone. Tropical-storm-force winds only extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Rainfall: Dorian is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to 8 inches in the Windward Islands from Martinique south to St. Vincent, including Barbados. Isolated maximum totals of 10 inches are possible across the northern Windward Islands. Rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are expected from the Grenadines, south to Grenada and across Dominica. WIND: Hurricane conditions are possible tonight and early Tuesday within the Hurricane Watch area in the Lesser Antilles. Tropical storm conditions are likely in the warning area by late today. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch area by tonight or Tuesday. SURF: Swells generated by Dorian will be affecting portions of the Lesser Antilles by late today. These swells could cause life- threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 PM AST. Next complete advisory at 500 PM AST. $$ Forecaster Stewart
