Issued at 800 AM PDT Thu Jul 25 2024 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 251432 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Bud Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022024 800 AM PDT Thu Jul 25 2024 Since the time of the special advisory issued earlier this morning, the organization of Bud on satellite imagery has not changed much. The moderate easterly shear that had been affecting the cyclone appears to have diminished slightly. This has allowed the low-level center to be located underneath the central convective area. The latest subjective intensity estimate from TAFB is 45 kt, while some of the University of Wisconsin-CIMSS objective estimates have also been around 45 kt. Given the 49-kt surface observation from Isla Clarion at 0930 UTC this morning, the initial intensity is held at 50 kt for this advisory. There have not been any significant changes to the general synoptic steering pattern. A low- to mid-level ridge located to the north of Bud will steer the cyclone generally westward at a similar forward speed for the next 24 h. As the cyclone weakens and becomes shallower, it should turn towards the west-southwest and decelerate. The guidance has shifted notably north and faster with this cycle. The new NHC track forecast is adjusted about midway between the previous NHC forecast and the latest consensus track aids. As for the intensity forecast, Bud should be traversing sea-surface temperatures of around 26.5-27C over the next day or two, which is slightly cooler than the 28C waters that Bud is over currently. The vertical wind shear should be relatively low over the next couple of days. Bud will be gradually moving into a slightly drier airmass. The latest dynamical and hurricane intensity models weaken Bud more quickly than the statistical intensity guidance, and the NHC forecast splits the difference and is close to the intensity consensus. This new NHC intensity forecast is higher than the previous one and keeps Bud a tropical storm a bit longer. Given that the global models show Bud becoming a remnant low rather quickly despite relatively favorable environmental conditions, the intensity forecast confidence is a bit lower than average during the first 48 h of the forecast. After that time, confidence is higher that the cyclone will be significantly weakening.

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0742 AM CDT Thu Jul 25 2024 Valid 251300Z - 261200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF MONTANA... ...SUMMARY... Strong to locally severe thunderstorms with wind gusts will be possible today across Montana and the northern Rockies/Great Basin, southern Arizona, and Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic States. ...Montana/Northern Rockies to Great Basin... A prominent upper-level trough will spread eastward from British Columbia toward Alberta/Saskatchewan, with strengthening cyclonic westerlies overspreading the northern Rockies/Montana. Scattered thunderstorm development is forecast to initiate off the higher terrain this afternoon, and in advance of a cold front, across central Montana, where a hot and deeply mixed boundary layer may become characterized by modest instability. Forecast soundings are suggestive of 40-60 F temperature-dew point spreads by peak heating. A downward mixing of 30-40+ kt ambient southwesterly to westerly flow in the 700-500 mb layer may contribute to severe-caliber wind gusts in consolidating outflows, as convection spreads eastward into this evening toward eastern Montana and possibly western North Dakota. Other high-based storms capable of severe-caliber wind gusts could occur as far southwest as parts of the Great Basin later this afternoon and evening, within an unstable air mass ahead of a front across the northern Intermountain region. ...Arizona... Lingering early day outflow/cloud cover via yesterday's relatively active convection should generally abate by afternoon. As the boundary layer diurnally warms and destabilizes, thunderstorms are again likely to initiate across the Mogollon Rim and adjacent mountains of southwest New Mexico this afternoon. Given the position and movement of the mid-level high, somewhat stronger (around 15 kt) northeasterly steering flow will remain focused across southeast into adjacent portions of central Arizona. Localized severe-caliber wind gusts and blowing dust will again be possible this afternoon through early/mid-evening as storms progress south-southwestward onto the desert floor. ...Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic States... Cloud cover will likely remain prevalent regionally today with showers/some thunderstorms ongoing this morning to the south of the primary front that will be shifting south-southeastward across the northern and central Appalachians. Near the southern periphery of the larger-scale mid-level troughing, a belt of 30-40 kt south-southwesterly flow in the 850-500 mb layer may enhance convective development within a plume of seasonably high moisture content. While lapse rates and overall buoyancy will be modest, heavy precipitation loading and downward mixing of momentum may contribute to a few strong downdrafts with the possibility of locally damaging surface gusts/tree damage this afternoon. ...Middle/Upper Texas Coast and Southern Louisiana... Extensive showers and some thunderstorms are ongoing along the Texas coast early today. Influenced by a weak mid-level disturbance, some guidance suggests that a strengthening of low-level winds/shear will occur today. However, mid-level winds will remain weak, while the aforementioned convection should considerably limit destabilization inland. These factors seem likely to minimize the potential for anything beyond a few very weak/transient mesocyclones. ..Guyer/Jewell.. 07/25/2024 Read more

Given that ASCAT from a few hours ago showed vectors as high as 44 kt, the observations from the island are consistent. The only change to the NHC forecast is to increase the forecast wind speed through the 24-hour point, due to the higher initial intensity. The observations from Isla Clarion also suggest the gust factor is a little higher than normal, and this is indicated in the Forecast/Advisory.

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0334 AM CDT Thu Jul 25 2024 Valid 281200Z - 021200Z ...DISCUSSION... A weak upper trough will migrate across the Midwest early in the forecast period. However, weak deep-layer flow and relatively modest large-scale ascent may limit severe potential. Generally low-amplitude upper troughing will then prevail across the eastern third of the CONUS through much of the work week. Meanwhile, an expansive upper ridge centered over the Rockies/High Plains vicinity will persist for much of the Day 4-8 period. Some severe potential is possible in a northwesterly flow regime over the Mid-MO to Mid-MS Valley around Days 5-6/Mon-Tue, but this risk would largely be driven by mesoscale factors not well resolved at longer time periods. Late in the period, forecast guidance suggests a shortwave trough may develop eastward atop the upper ridge in the vicinity of the northern Plains. This break down of the upper ridge amid a very moist and unstable boundary layer would be a favorable pattern for potential MCS development around Day 7 or 8/Wed or Thu. Confidence in this scenario remains too low to include probabilities at this time, but may become necessary in subsequent outlooks. Read more
