Issued at 500 PM EDT Tue Aug 27 2019 000 WTNT41 KNHC 272034 TCDAT1 Tropical Depression Six Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062019 500 PM EDT Tue Aug 27 2019 After a brief period when the center was near the edge of the convection this morning, once again the northwesterly shear disrupted the cloud pattern, and the low-level center has become detached from the main thunderstorm activity. The Dvorak estimates have not changed and still support an initial intensity of 30 kt. Earlier ASCAT data also indicated some vectors of 30 kt in the southeast quadrant. Since the shear is not forecast to abate, only a small increase in intensity is forecast during the next 24 to 36 hours. After that time, the cyclone will be moving over cooler waters and should become extratropical while becoming absorbed by a larger trough. The depression meandered all day, but it has now been moving slowly toward the north-northwest or 345 degrees at 6 knots. This motion is highly uncertain because it includes the back and forth shifting of the center from the edge of the convection during the past several hours. The southwesterly flow ahead of the approaching mid-latitude trough should steer the cyclone northward and then northeastward with increasing forward speed over the North Atlantic. The NHC track forecast has been adjusted a little bit to the north in this advisory following the northward shift of the multimodel consensus TVCA and HCCA.

A watch is typically issued 48 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. 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 the Virgin Islands should monitor the progress of Dorian. For storm information specific to your area in the United States, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. For storm information specific to your area outside of the United States, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 PM AST (1800 UTC), data from an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and the Martinique radar indicate that the center of Tropical Storm Dorian has reformed farther north near latitude 15.0 North, longitude 62.0 West. Dorian is moving toward the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue through tonight, followed by a turn toward the northwest on Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center of Dorian will move across the eastern and northeastern Caribbean Sea during the next few days, passing near or south of Puerto Rico on Wednesday, move near or over eastern Hispaniola Wednesday night, and move north of Hispaniola on Thursday. On Thursday night and Friday, the center of Dorian is forecast to move near the Turks and Caicos and southeastern Bahamas. Maximum sustained winds remain near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Slow strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Dorian is forecast to be near hurricane strength when it moves close to Puerto Rico and eastern Hispaniola. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from the reconnaissance aircraft is 1005 mb (29.68 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Dorian is expected to produce the following rain accumulations through Thursday: Martinique to Saint Vincent...3 to 6 inches, isolated 10 inches. Grenadines to Grenada...1 to 3 inches. Guadeloupe to Dominica...1 to 4 inches. Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic...4 to 6 inches, isolated 8 inches. U.S. Virgin Islands...1 to 3 inches, isolated 4 inches. This rainfall may cause life-threatening flash floods. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are diminishing over the Lesser Antilles. Tropical storm conditions are expected and hurricane conditions are possible in Puerto Rico on Wednesday and in portions of the Dominican Republic late Wednesday and Thursday. SURF: Swells generated by Dorian should gradually subside in the Lesser Antilles by this evening. Swells are expected to increase along the southern coasts of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola on Wednesday and they could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 500 PM AST. $$ Forecaster Stewart

Issued at 1100 AM AST Tue Aug 27 2019 000 WTNT45 KNHC 271512 CCA TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Dorian Discussion Number 13...Corrected NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052019 1100 AM AST Tue Aug 27 2019 Corrected southeastward to southwestward motion in third paragraph Dorian moved directly across the center of St. Lucia around 1000 UTC, which resulted in a significant disruption of the small inner-core wind field. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft had difficulty identifying a clear-cut center and radar data from Martinique indicates that the mid-level circulation has also been disrupted somewhat. Having said that, the overall appearance of the cyclone in both satellite and radar imagery has improved since this time yesterday, although a pronounced dry slot is now evident in the southeastern quadrant of the circulation. The initial intensity of 45 kt is being maintained based on aircraft flight-level and SFMR surface wind data. The initial motion remains west-northwestward or 295/11 kt. There is still no significant change to the previous forecast track or reasoning. Although the inner-core wind field and low-level center have been disrupted, the overall circulation envelope has remained intact and is expected to move west-northwestward to northwestward for the next 36-48 hours toward a break in the subtropical ridge located well north of Dorian. The mid- to upper-level low currently located east of the Bahamas that has weakened the ridge is forecast to gradually weaken while digging southwestward across the central Bahamas and toward central Cuba over the next 3-4 days, resulting in Dorian turning northwestward on day 3 before turning back toward the west-northwest on days 4 and 5. How quickly the west-northwestward turn occurs will depend heavily on the evolution of the upper-low. For now, the previous forecast track remains unchanged other than to push out the track a little northeastward at 48 and 72 hours. The NHC model guidance remains tightly packed and in good agreement on this scenario, and the new forecast track lies very close to an average of the various consensus track models. Users are reminded not to focus on the details of the extended track forecast as the average 5-day track error is around 200 miles. Dry air continues to plague Dorian, and interaction with the mountainous terrain of St. Lucia will likely hinder significant development in the short term. However, the models continue to indicate that the upper-level flow pattern and shear conditions are expected to remain favorable for strengthening throughout the forecast period, so it is uncertain why the dynamical models are not showing more development and strengthening when compared to the more robust statistical SHIPS intensity models, especially at days 4 and 5 when Dorian will be moving over SSTs greater than 29 deg C and into a fairly moist environment. For now, the official intensity forecast remains basically midway between the stronger SHIPS model and the much weaker global and regional models. Given the large spread in the guidance, there is lower than normal confidence in the intensity forecast, especially on days 4 an 5. Key Messages: 1. Tropical storm conditions will continue in portions of the Lesser Antilles during the next several hours. Tropical storm conditions are expected and hurricane conditions are possible in Puerto Rico on Wednesday and in portions of the Dominican Republic Wednesday night and Thursday. 2. Heavy rainfall over portions of the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic could produce flash flooding during the next few days. 3. The threat of winds and heavy rains later this week into this weekend in the Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, and Florida is increasing. Residents in these areas should monitor the progress of Dorian and ensure that they have their hurricane plan in place. 4. Uncertainty in the intensity forecast later this week remains higher than usual due Dorian's potential interaction with Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.

Issued at 1100 AM EDT Tue Aug 27 2019 000 WTNT41 KNHC 271434 TCDAT1 Tropical Depression Six Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062019 1100 AM EDT Tue Aug 27 2019 The cloud pattern has improved a little since yesterday, and in fact, it looks more tropical on satellite today. The depression, however, continues to be sheared with the low-level center to the north of the convection. Satellite estimates from TAFB and SAB still support an initial intensity of 30 kt. The northwesterly shear currently affecting the depression is expected to continue, and only a small increase in intensity is anticipated in the next couple of days. After that time, the shear will increase as a mid-latitude trough approaches from the west, and the circulation will be over cooler waters. This should favor the cyclone to become extratropical and then become absorbed by a larger extratropical low by the end of the forecast period. The depression has been moving very little, and it appears that during the past couple hours it has been meandering northward at about 2 kt. No significant motion is expected today with a slow north-northwestward or northward drift beginning tonight. In about a day, the southwesterly flow ahead of the approaching mid-latitude trough should steer the cyclone northeastward with increasing forward speed over the North Atlantic. The NHC track forecast is very close to the multimodel consensus TVCA and not significantly different from the previous official forecast.
