Hurricane Gilma Forecast Discussion Number 22

Issued at 1100 AM HST Fri Aug 23 2024 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 232035 TCDEP2 Hurricane Gilma Discussion Number 22 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072024 1100 AM HST Fri Aug 23 2024 The satellite appearance of Gilma has decayed a little more since the previous advisory, although a cloud-filled eye is still present. The various objective and subjective satellite intensity estimates are in the 80-100 kt range, and the initial intensity is thus reduced to 90 kt in best agreement with the estimates from SAB and CIMSS satellite consensus technique. The cyclone remains in an environment of light shear with good anticyclonic outflow in all directions. The initial motion is now 275/8 kt. Gilma is slipping west of the axis of the deep-layer trough near the west coast of the United States, and a ridge is expected to build north of the cyclone during the next few days as the trough lifts out. The track guidance is in good agreement with a general westward or just north of westward motion through the forecast period. However, the guidance has again shifted a little southward, and the official forecast track will again be nudged southward. While the guidance is in good agreement on the direction, there is a notable spread in forward speed between the faster GFS and the slower ECMWF. The new NHC track lies near the consensus models, which split the difference in forward speed between these two models. Gilma's more westward motion is keeping it over warmer water for a little longer in the short term, so little change in strength is likely during the next 12 h. After that, the hurricane is expected to cross the 26C isotherm in about 36 h while moving into a drier and more stable airmass. This combination should lead to gradual weakening, and the rate of weakening should increase after 48-60 h when Gilma is expected to encounter westerly shear. The new intensity forecast follows the general trend of the intensity guidance with a faster rate of decay after 48 h than seen in the previous forecast. The forecast still calls for the cyclone to degenerate to a remnant low by 120 h.

The various objective and subjective satellite intensity estimates have trended downward during the past 6 h, and based on these data the initial intensity is decreased to 100 kt. The westward jog mentioned in the previous advisory continues, with the initial motion now 275/7 kt. A deep-layer trough north of Gilma near the west coast of the United States is expected to lift out over the next couple of days, which will allow a high pressure ridge to gradually build westward over the eastern North Pacific. As a result, Gilma should move generally west-northwestward to westward at a faster forward speed during the next several days. Due to the current westward jog, the guidance envelope has shifted a little to the south and west since the previous advisory. Based on this guidance, the new track forecast, which lies close to the consensus models, will also shift a bit to the south. Gilma is gradually moving toward cooler water, with the center expected to cross the 26C isotherm in about 36 h. The hurricane is also moving into a drier and more stable air mass. This combination should lead to gradual weakening for the next 60 h or so. Beyond that time, increasing shear and sea surface temperatures near 25C should cause a faster weakening rate, and Gilma is now expected to degenerate to a remnant low by 120 h. The new intensity forecast follows the trend of the intensity guidance, but is nudged downward a little from the previous forecast.

Issued at 1100 PM HST Thu Aug 22 2024 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 230838 TCDEP2 Hurricane Gilma Discussion Number 20 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072024 1100 PM HST Thu Aug 22 2024 The satellite presentation of Gilma has not changed much since the previous advisory. The ragged eye of the hurricane is still surrounded by deep convection, with the coldest cloud tops located over the western and southern portions of the inner core. Based on consensus T-5.5/102 kt Dvorak current intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB, and similar estimates from the various UW-CIMSS objective techniques, the initial intensity is held at 105 kt. The center of the hurricane has jogged westward during the past few hours, but the longer-term motion is still west-northwestward at about 5 kt. A deep-layer trough near the west coast of the United States is expected to lift out over the next couple of days, which will allow a high pressure ridge to build westward over the eastern North Pacific. As a result, Gilma should gradually move faster toward the west-northwest and west during the next several days. The track guidance remains tightly clustered, and the NHC forecast is essentially an update of the previous one with no notable changes. As previously discussed, the slow forward speed of Gilma is likely resulting in some upwelling of cooler waters underneath the hurricane. Although the vertical wind shear is forecast to remain relatively weak during the next couple of days, the track of Gilma will bring the hurricane over even cooler waters and into a drier mid-level environment by this weekend. These factors suggest at least gradual weakening should continue in the near term, followed by more significant weakening beyond 72 h as the cyclone encounters stronger shear and the upper air pattern becomes more convergent. Some slight downward adjustments were made to the NHC prediction later in the period. Gilma is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone by 120 h, but the lack of organized convection in GFS and ECMWF model-simulated satellite imagery indicates this transition could occur as early as day 4.
