Tropical Storm Hector Forecast Discussion Number 10

Issued at 500 PM HST Tue Aug 27 2024 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 280233 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Hector Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082024 500 PM HST Tue Aug 27 2024 Hector this evening continues to produce a large area of deep convection, though this activity is struggling to become better organized and wrap around the circulation center, possibly due to continued 15-20 kt westerly shear helping to entrain very dry mid-level air near its center. Subjective and objective intensity estimates remain largely unchanged this evening, and the initial intensity will remain 45 kt for this advisory. The tropical storm continues to move off to the west-northwest at 285/10 kt. The mid-level ridge currently steering Hector is expected to weaken somewhat as a mid- to upper-level weakness forms north of Hector. However, the cyclone is also likely to become more vertically shallow and thus steered more by a low-level ridge that will remain in place to the north. Thus, the track forecast shows Hector bending back more westward over the next several days. The latest NHC track forecast is very close to the previous advisory and lies in the middle of the guidance envelope. The overall environment near Hector currently is not all that favorable for much additional strengthening. The current moderate shear is not forecast to let up much as Hector also moves over the cold wake left behind by Gilma, which itself has dramatically weakened as it encountered less favorable conditions. Thus, weakening continues to be forecast with Hector, in good agreement with the intensity guidance. Both the GFS and ECMWF still show the cyclone losing its remaining organized convection after 48 hours, and the NHC forecast shows the system becoming a post-tropical remnant low before it crosses into the Central Pacific basin.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Hector was located near latitude 18.2 North, longitude 131.0 West. Hector is moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h) and this motion with a turn more westward is anticipated over the next several days. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is anticipated during the next several days and Hector is forecast to become a post-tropical remnant low on Thursday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).

MD 2021 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 659... FOR PORTIONS OF FAR NORTHERN OHIO INTO EXTREME NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN NEW YORK
Mesoscale Discussion 2021 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0739 PM CDT Tue Aug 27 2024 Areas affected...portions of far northern Ohio into extreme northwestern Pennsylvania and extreme southwestern New York Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 659... Valid 280039Z - 280215Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 659 continues. SUMMARY...Some severe threat will persist for a few more hours in and immediately surrounding Severe Thunderstorm Watch 659. Damaging gusts remain the primary concern. DISCUSSION...A pronounced cold pool, originating from a mature persistent elongated convective system, has surged southeastward across Lake Erie over the past couple of hours. At least a few severe gusts have been observed, and some convective rejuvenation has occurred along the cold pool leading edge. Buoyancy decreases/MLCINH increases with eastward and southward extent ahead of the ongoing storms/cold pool. However, the fast pace of the cold pool suggests that continued cellular regeneration and accompanying damaging wind gust potential will continue for at least a couple more hours. ..Squitieri.. 08/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 2020 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 658... FOR NORTHEAST IL INTO EXTREME NORTHWEST IN/SOUTHWEST MI
Mesoscale Discussion 2020 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0624 PM CDT Tue Aug 27 2024 Areas affected...Northeast IL into extreme northwest IN/southwest MI Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 658... Valid 272324Z - 280100Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 658 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat will spread southeastward through early evening. DISCUSSION...A supercell has developed across far northeast IL, with reports of severe wind gusts and hail up to golf ball size thus far. Large to extreme instability will continue to support vigorous updrafts early this evening. Deep-layer shear becomes increasingly modest with southward extent, but will remain locally enhanced near a lake-enhanced surface boundary draped northwest to southeast across the Chicagoland vicinity. The ongoing supercell may propagate southeastward near this boundary, with a continued threat of large hail and severe/damaging gusts. There is some potential for additional development near the trailing outflow, with increasing cumulus noted in Kane County. Depending on the number and proximity of storms that develop early this evening, some upscale growth into a southeastward-moving cluster will be possible with time. Downstream watch issuance is possible if a severe threat begins to approach northwest IN/southwest MI. ..Dean/Gleason.. 08/27/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0745 PM CDT Tue Aug 27 2024 Valid 280100Z - 281200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES AND PORTIONS OF THE MIDWEST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging thunderstorm winds and isolated large hail remain possible across the southern Great Lakes region and portions of the Midwest tonight. ...01z Update... Upper ridge is flattening across the Great Lakes this evening in response to a progressive short-wave trough advancing east across the upper MS Valley. This feature will deamplify as it shifts into the central Great Lakes by 28/12z. Westerly flow is gradually deepening across this region and low-level convergence is not particularly focused, though a synoptic front does currently extend from northern Lower MI/south-central WI arcing into southern NE. Multiple thunderstorm complexes have spread across WI/MI with the leading edge of one MCS now advancing southeast of Lake Erie. This activity should struggle as it propagates into eastern OH/western PA as buoyancy is not particularly strong across this portion of the OH Valley. Upstream along the trailing synoptic front, a reservoir of extreme instability has yet to be overturned from northern IL into northern MO. Robust convection is tracking southeast along a lake breeze near the Chicago metro. These storms will propagate into northern IN over the next several hours with an attendant risk for hail/wind. Farther southwest, weaker steering currents are contributing to slow-moving clusters along the front across northern MO into northeast KS. This activity will be more deviant in storm motion due to weak flow, driven largely by convective outflow and the presence of extreme instability. Hail/wind remain possible with these storms. ..Darrow.. 08/28/2024 Read more
