Post-Tropical Cyclone Don Forecast Discussion Number 42

1 year 11 months ago
Issued at 300 PM GMT Mon Jul 24 2023 147 WTNT45 KNHC 241456 TCDAT5 Post-Tropical Cyclone Don Discussion Number 42 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052023 300 PM GMT Mon Jul 24 2023 Satellite imagery shows that Don lacks sufficient deep convection to classify the system as a tropical cyclone, and it is now post tropical. The initial wind speed remains at 40 kt for this advisory, based on a recent ASCAT-B scatterometer pass. Don should slowly weaken over the next day or so while moving over cold waters and within high vertical wind shear. The system is moving east-northeastward at about 17 kt, and this general motion will likely to continue until Don dissipates in about a day. Most of the global guidance has post-tropical Don opening up into a trough and becoming absorbed by a larger extratropical low over the north Atlantic tomorrow. Very few changes were made to the previous NHC forecast. Don has been a very long-lasting tropical cyclone (including subtropical stages) for the month of July. Preliminary data indicate that the storm is the 5th longest-lasting system on record for the month, just behind Emily of 2005. This is the last advisory on Don.

Watch issuance is not expected at this time. DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms have developed late this afternoon along a weak surface trough across parts of northern/eastern MO as a weak mid-level disturbance cresting the upper ridge continues southeastward across the upper/mid MS Valley. The airmass downstream of this activity into central MO and west-central IL is moderately unstable, with MLCAPE generally 2000-2500 J/kg. But, deep-layer shear remains marginal, around 20-25 kt, given fairly modest mid/upper-level northwesterly flow. Still, occasional updraft organization has been noted with the strongest cores, with a recent 1 inch severe hail report. Isolated severe hail and damaging winds may remain a threat with this convection as it spreads slowly southward over the next couple of hours. Given the weak shear, watch issuance is not expected at this time. ..Gleason/Thompson.. 07/23/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LSX...SGF...EAX...

Tropical Storm Don Forecast Discussion Number 39

1 year 11 months ago
Issued at 500 PM AST Sun Jul 23 2023 000 WTNT45 KNHC 232031 TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Don Discussion Number 39 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052023 500 PM AST Sun Jul 23 2023 Tropical Storm Don is moving northeastward this afternoon over the North Atlantic's cooler sea surface temperatures, and deep convection is starting to wane. The convective band from earlier this morning has become more fragmented and not as well defined. Visible satellite and a microwave AMSR2 pass earlier however, still showed that Don has a compact low-level center, and a scatterometer ASCAT-B pass showed winds of 48-50 kt in the southeast quadrant. Subjective Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB have also started to trend downward with this advisory cycle. Given the ASCAT-B pass and the subjective satellite estimates, the initial intensity for this advisory is lowered to 50 kt. Don is starting to lose its overall convective pattern and should begin to rapidly weaken tonight and tomorrow. Available global model guidance suggest that Don should lose any remaining deep convection within the next 18 to 24 hours and become a post-tropical cyclone at that time. The intensity forecast remains similar to the previous forecast, with Don dissipating in about 48 hours. The system is moving to the northeast at 15 kt. Don will continue to move to the northeast, with a slight increase in forward speed the remainder of today, before turning to the east-northeast tomorrow due to the steering flow around the northern side of the subtropical ridge. Guidance remains tightly clustered, and there was very little change to the forecast this cycle. The storm is moving up the list of longest-lasting tropical cyclones on record for July (including subtropical stages). Preliminary, Don is tied for 10th, and the cyclone could make the top 5 longest-lasting for July if it lasts through early Monday.

SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0300 PM CDT Sun Jul 23 2023 Valid 232000Z - 241200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF NORTHERN SC AND WESTERN NC... ...SUMMARY... Strong to severe storms will remain possible late this afternoon and evening, at least on an isolated basis, across the Southeast States as well as the northern/central Plains and Ozarks. A few strong wind gusts could also occur in Arizona. ...20Z Update... The Marginal Risk has been expanded westward to include more of southwest SD and western NE, based on latest short-term guidance, destabilization trends, and increasing cumulus near the Black Hills. The Marginal Risk has been trimmed in the wake of earlier convection across parts of FL and GA. Otherwise, no major changes have been made. See the previous discussion below for more details. ..Dean.. 07/23/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1127 AM CDT Sun Jul 23 2023/ ...Carolinas... Mostly sunny skies are present today from much of GA across the Carolinas. Ample low-level moisture will yield afternoon MLCAPE values of 1500-2000 J/kg, along with rather strong mid/upper level winds. 12z CAM solutions show a more robust signal for higher thunderstorm coverage across parts of northern SC into central NC. Therefore have opted to add a SLGT risk for parts of SC/NC for this afternoon and evening. ...FL... A large but relatively disorganized MCS is moving across the northeast Gulf of Mexico into northern FL. Strong heating ahead of this system will lead to occasional intense storms along the leading edge of the combined outflow. Forecast soundings show rather limited deep-layer shear and lapse rates, suggesting that activity will not be very organized or long-lived. However, locally gusty/damaging winds could occur. ...Central/Northern Plains... A large area of moderate/strong instability and fast northwest flow aloft lies across much of the northern and central Plains today. Forecast soundings across the region from the eastern Dakotas into KS/MO show sufficient CAPE/shear for a conditional risk of supercells capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts. However, forcing is weak and confidence in where afternoon convective initiation will occur is low. Therefore will maintain a broad MRGL risk. The strongest signal in 12z models appears to extend from south-central NE across central/eastern KS into west-central MO. This and other corridors will be monitored through the afternoon for a potential upgrade. ...AZ... Easterly flow aloft today will again pose some risk of convection moving off the higher terrain of eastern/northern AZ into higher population areas. Damaging winds would be the main concern.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0205 PM CDT Sun Jul 23 2023 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN INTO SOUTHEASTERN OR AND WESTERN ID... ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN IN EASTERN WA AND OR... ...Northern Great Basin... Widespread elevated and critical fire-weather conditions are expected D2/Monday ahead of the advancing trough. Updated fuels information across northwest NV lends higher confidence to critical conditions in lower elevations. The Critical area was expanded south and westward to better align with 25+ mph surface winds and low afternoon humidity. ...Columbia Basin and northern Rockies... As strong mid-level flow aligns with dry and warm surface conditions across portions of eastern WA and OR, westerly winds of 20-25 mph and higher gusts are expected over dry fuels. Several hours of widespread elevated and critical fire-weather conditions are expected to support the potential for rapid fire spread. A few showers and high-based thunderstorms are also possible later in the evening along and behind the cold front from far eastern WA into portions of western MT and the ID Panhandle. While not overly likely, any storms that do form may pose a risk for dry lightning strikes within modestly receptive fuels. please see the prior discussion for more information. ..Lyons.. 07/23/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0123 AM CDT Sun Jul 23 2023/ ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will remain in place across the Four Corners region as an upper trough traverses the Pacific Northwest tomorrow/Monday. Monsoonal moisture trapped beneath the mid-level ridge will encourage another day of scattered dry and wet thunderstorms across the Intermountain West. Given patchy, marginally receptive fuels, a couple of new fire starts are possible, resulting in localized wildfire-spread potential. The relatively greater potential for wildfire spread will exist across the Pacific Northwest as the passage of a mid-level trough will encourage critically dry and windy surface conditions. To the lee of the Cascades and northern Sierra, RH will dip below 15 percent by afternoon peak heating, with surface westerly winds sustaining over 20 mph in spots. The most likely region to see widespread 20+ mph wind speeds will be southeast Oregon into far northwest Nevada and far southwest Idaho, where Critical highlights have been introduced. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sun Jul 23 2023

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Don, located over the central Atlantic.

Central Tropical Atlantic (AL95):
Satellite images show that there has been little change in the
organization of the small area of low pressure located about 850
miles east of the Windward Islands. Although environmental
conditions are forecast to be only marginally conducive for some
gradual development, this system could still become a tropical
depression during the next few days while it moves westward across
the tropical Atlantic and eastern Caribbean Sea. Interests in the
Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1229 PM CDT Sun Jul 23 2023 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE MIDWEST...MID/UPPER MS VALLEY...OH VALLEY...AND NORTHEAST... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible on Monday across parts of the Midwest, mid/upper Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, and Northeast. ...Synopsis... An upper ridge will remain anchored over the southern/central Rockies on Monday, as a mid/upper-level cyclone and attendant trough move into the Pacific Northwest, and a broad upper trough remains over much of the eastern CONUS. At the surface, a remnant boundary will be draped from somewhere near the Gulf Coast into the Mid Atlantic. A weak surface low may develop over the central Plains, while another weak surface low/trough will move eastward across the OH Valley vicinity. ...Northeast... A shortwave mid/upper-level trough is forecast to move from the lower Great Lakes toward northern New England on Monday. Modest low-level moisture and diurnal heating will support MLCAPE of 750-1500 by late morning into the afternoon, and scattered thunderstorm development is expected from central PA into parts of NY/VT, immediately in advance of the shortwave. Southwesterly midlevel flow associated with the upper trough will support effective shear generally in the 25-35 kt range, sufficient for a few modestly organized cells/clusters capable of locally damaging wind and possibly some hail. ...OH Valley and vicinity... Most guidance suggests a weak surface low/trough will move slowly eastward across parts of the OH Valley on Monday. This may aid in diurnal thunderstorm development within an environment characterized by moderate to strong buoyancy (MLCAPE 1500-3000 J/kg). Storm coverage and location remain rather uncertain, but effective shear of 20-30 kt within a weak northwesterly flow regime could support a few stronger multicells and clusters capable of producing hail and locally damaging wind. ...Mid/upper MS Valley and Midwest... A low-predictability northwest-flow regime will remain in place from parts of the northern/central Plains into the Midwest and mid/upper MS Valley on Monday. The details of storm development, coverage, and timing remain uncertain, but the environment will be conditionally favorable for supercells and organized clusters wherever notable diurnal destabilization can occur. Morning convection may be ongoing Monday morning across parts of eastern NE/KS into western IA/MS, in association with a southwesterly low-level jet. A localized severe hail/wind threat cannot be ruled out with the stronger morning storms. Outflow and potential MCV development related to morning convection may support redevelopment farther south toward the Ozarks Monday afternoon/evening, with some continued potential for isolated severe hail/wind with the strongest storms. Diurnal development will also be possible farther north into parts of MN/WI, within a weak but persistent low-level warm advection regime. If storms can mature in this area, isolated southeast-moving supercells will be possible. Nocturnal convection may develop late Monday night as the low-level jet increases, potentially posing an isolated severe risk into parts of IA/MO. ...Northern UT into the northern Rockies... High-based convection is expected Monday afternoon/evening in association with a shortwave trough moving around the periphery of the upper ridge. Localized severe gusts will be possible from northern UT into parts of the northern Rockies, though with limited instability, storm intensity and organization remains uncertain at this time. Severe-wind probabilities may eventually be needed if confidence increases in more organized storm development. ..Dean.. 07/23/2023 Read more
