On the forecast track, the center of John is forecast to move along the coast or just inland of southwestern Mexico later today and tonight. Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is expected today, with a faster rate of weakening forecast by tonight while the center begins to interact with the higher terrain of the Sierra Madre Del Sur mountains.

MD 2123 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 686...687... FOR EASTERN GEORGIA...SOUTH CAROLINA...SOUTHERN NORTH CAROLINA
Mesoscale Discussion 2123 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0417 AM CDT Fri Sep 27 2024 Areas affected...Eastern Georgia...South Carolina...Southern North Carolina Concerning...Tornado Watch 686...687... Valid 270917Z - 271115Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 686, 687 continues. SUMMARY...A tornado threat will continue tonight from eastern Georgia into South Carolina and southern North Carolina. DISCUSSION...Tropical Storm Helene is currently moving northward through east-central Georgia. Mosaic radar imagery shows that rainbands extend outward up to 200 statute miles to the north of Helene. Within these rainbands, several discrete cells are ongoing across eastern South Carolina, where the tornado threat is maximized at this time. The WSR-88D VWP at Wilmington, North Carolina appears representative of the environment from the middle South Carolina coast northward to Wilmington, and has 0-6 km shear near 50 knots with 0-3 km storm-relative helicity in the 400 to 500 m2/s2 range. This will continue to support a tornado threat as thunderstorms move north-northwestward across South Carolina over the next several hours. The tornado threat should gradually move northward into southern and central North Carolina. ..Broyles.. 09/27/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Tropical Storm John Forecast Discussion Number 18

9 months 3 weeks ago
Issued at 300 AM CST Fri Sep 27 2024 521 WTPZ45 KNHC 270900 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm John Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102024 300 AM CST Fri Sep 27 2024 This morning's satellite presentation consists of a partially exposed surface center with a primary banding feature wrapping around from the southeast. A few fragmented intermittent bursts of deep convection are also evident in the northwest quadrant of the cyclone. The initial intensity is set at 55 kt and is based on the TAFB and SAB Dvorak satellite intensity estimates and a UW-CIMSS DMINT objective estimate using SSMIS F16-17 passes of 56 and 55 kt, respectively. Gradual weakening should continue as the cyclone approaches and moves inland. The high terrain of the Sierra Madre Del Sur mountains is expected to disrupt what remains of John's inner core and should cause a faster rate of weakening. Therefore, John is expected to become a remnant low in 36 hrs. If the surface center remains intact and doesn't dissipate, the remnants should re-emerge over the water in a few days; however, regeneration appears unlikely. The NHC intensity forecast is weighed heavily on the global model guidance and the IVCN intensity consensus. John's initial motion is estimated to be northwestward, or 320/4 kt, and a turn to the west-northwest with a slight increase in forward speed is forecast, provided John survives its interaction with the rugged mountainous terrain. The track forecast favors a compromise of the global model solutions and is just to the right of the HCCA consensus aid. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Tropical Storm John will bring additional very heavy rainfall to coastal portions of southwest Mexico through today. The additional rainfall totals will be falling across areas that have received very heavy rainfall amounts over the past few days. This heavy rainfall will likely cause significant and catastrophic life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides to the Mexican States of Guerrero and Michoacán. 2. John is forecast to continue bringing tropical storm conditions across portions of the Tropical Storm Warnings area through today.
