Hurricane Narda Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142025
800 PM MST Tue Sep 23 2025
Narda appears to have strengthened since the previous advisory, with
an eye, albeit cloud-filled and cold, periodically evident in
visible and infrared satellite imagery. The cyclone continues to
experience easterly vertical wind shear, with outflow restricted in
the eastern semicircle. This is evident in satellite imagery and
confirmed by the latest UW-CIMSS shear analysis, which indicates 19
kt of easterly shear. Subjective Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB
were 4.5/77 kt and 5.0/90 kt, respectively, while objective
estimates from UW-CIMSS ranged from 80 to 93 kt. Taking a blend of
these data, and accounting for the improved satellite presentation,
supports raising the initial intensity to 85 kt for this advisory.
Narda is estimated to be moving just south of due west, or 265
degrees, at 11 kt. A general westward motion is expected to
continue during the next couple of days as the cyclone is steered by
a strengthening subtropical ridge to its north and northwest. A
turn toward the northwest is expected around day 3 as a mid-level
low over southern California erodes the eastern portion of the
subtropical ridge. A more northward motion with a decrease in
forward speed is forecast by days 4 and 5 as the cyclone moves into
the weakness in the subtropical ridge created by the mid-level low
to its north. The official forecast track is very similar to the
previous advisory and remains close to the middle of the track
guidance envelope.
Narda will remain embedded within a moist air mass and over very
warm waters during the next couple of days. Shear will hold at
moderate levels tonight, which may allow for some slight
strengthening, and this is reflected in the intensity forecast. The
easterly shear is then forecast to increase to near 30 kt on
Wednesday, and this is expected to disrupt the cyclone enough to
cause some weakening. Narda should move out of the moderate to
strong easterly shear while remaining over warm waters and
surrounded by moist mid-level air on Thursday. This environment
should allow for a period of re-intensification, with Narda forecast
to peak at major hurricane strength around day 3. Sea surface
temperatures will gradually decrease late in the forecast period,
with Narda crossing the 26C isotherm around day 4. The cyclone will
also be moving into a much drier mid-level airmass and a more stable
environment, which should result in steady weakening by day 4 and
rapid weakening by day 5. The official intensity forecast is most
closely aligned with the HCCA intensity aid.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 619
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
325 PM CDT Tue Sep 23 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Southwest Arkansas
Central and Southern Oklahoma
North Texas
* Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 325 PM until
1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
to 75 mph possible
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
inches in diameter possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected through this
evening ahead of an eastward-advancing cold front. Supercell
thunderstorms producing scattered wind damage, isolated large to
very large hail, and a tornado or two are possible with these
storms.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75
statute miles east and west of a line from 65 miles northeast of
Durant OK to 20 miles southeast of Sherman TX. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU9).
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.
&&
OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 618...
AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A
few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector

Hurricane Gabrielle Discussion Number 29
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072025
1100 PM AST Tue Sep 23 2025
Gabrielle's eye became a little less distinct over the past several
hours, but the system continues to produce very cold-topped deep
convection to near -70 deg C. Convective banding features remain
fairly well defined, although upper-level outflow is becoming a
little restricted over the western portion of the circulation.
The advisory intensity estimate is reduced just slightly to 110
kt, which is a blend of the latest CI and final Dvorak T-numbers
from TAFB and SAB.
The hurricane continues to pick up forward speed and the motion is
now around 065/19 kt. The basic steering scenario remains about
the same as in the previous advisories. Over the next few
days, Gabrielle should move between the subtropical ridge over the
central Atlantic and a large mid-latitude trough over the north
Atlantic. This motion should take the system near or over the
Azores in about 60 hours. The official track forecast is very
similar to the previous one and close to the corrected consensus
model guidance.
Drier air, increasing vertical wind shear, and cooling ocean waters
should cause the system to steadily weaken during the next several
days. The only offsetting factor might be baroclinic interactions
with the nearby trough which could help Gabrielle maintain some of
its intensity while it moves near or through the Azores. The
official intensity forecast is just slightly above the latest LGEM
guidance.
KEY MESSAGES:
1. Gabrielle is forecast to approach the Azores late on Thursday as
a hurricane. A Hurricane Watch remains in effect for all of the
islands of the Azores, and interests there should closely monitor
Gabrielle's progress as hurricane conditions are possible later this
week.
2. Swells generated by Gabrielle will continue to affect Bermuda,
the east coast of the United States from North Carolina northward
and Atlantic Canada during the next couple of days. These swells

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:
A Hurricane Watch is in effect for...
* All of the Azores
A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible
within the watch area. 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.
For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Gabrielle was
located near latitude 35.1 North, longitude 54.3 West. Gabrielle is
moving toward the east-northeast near 22 mph (35 km/h), and this
motion with some additional acceleration is expected to continue
for the next several days. On the forecast track, the center of
Gabrielle will approach the Azores during the day on Thursday, and
move across the island chain Thursday night into Friday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 125 mph (205 km/h) with higher
gusts. Gabrielle is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Steady weakening is expected during the
next couple of days, but Gabrielle is still expected to be a
hurricane when it passes through the Azores.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles
(220 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 953 mb (28.15 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Gabrielle can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC.
WIND: Hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area
by Thursday night.
STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce
significant coastal flooding near the areas of onshore winds. The
surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.
RAINFALL: From Thursday into Friday morning, Gabrielle may bring 3
to 5 inches, or 75 to 125 mm, of rainfall across the central and
western Azores. During the same time outer bands from Gabrielle may
also result in 1 to 2 inches, or 25 to 50 mm, of rain across the
eastern Azores.
SURF: Swells generated by Gabrielle will continue to affect Bermuda,
the U.S. East Coast from North Carolina northward, and Atlantic
Canada over the next few days. These swells are expected to produce
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products issued by your local weather office.
