Tropical Storm ODILE Forecast Discussion Number 24
2014-09-16 04:58:36| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 800 PM PDT MON SEP 15 2014 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 160258 TCDEP5 TROPICAL STORM ODILE DISCUSSION NUMBER 24...CORRECTED NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152014 800 PM PDT MON SEP 15 2014 CORRECTED INITIAL INTENSITY TO 55 KT The tropical cyclone continues to have a fairly well-organized appearance on satellite imagery, but deep convection has been thinning out. Applying a typical inland decay rate, the current intensity is set at a rather uncertain 55 kt. Continued weakening is forecast, and the system is likely to fall below tropical storm strength in a day or so. The official wind speed forecast is similar to the latest decay-SHIPS guidance and to the intensity model consensus, and now shows Odile becoming a remnant low by 72 hours. Odile's heading has shifted a little to the right, and the initial motion estimate is 340/11 kt. A mid-level ridge to the east of the cyclone should cause a turn toward the north in a day or so, and a low- to mid-level trough near southern California is likely to turn Odile or its remnant low north-northeastward in 2-3 days. The official track forecast is a little faster than the previous one and is close to the latest dynamical model consensus forecast, TVCE. Moisture is forecast to be advected northward by Odile's circulation over the next few days. This, along with the slow motion of Odile or its remnant low, will likely result in locally heavy rains and possible flooding over portions of the southwestern United States. Please see information from your local weather office for more details.

Hurricane EDOUARD Forecast Discussion Number 19
2014-09-16 04:40:41| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM AST MON SEP 15 2014 000 WTNT41 KNHC 160240 TCDAT1 HURRICANE EDOUARD DISCUSSION NUMBER 19 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL062014 1100 PM AST MON SEP 15 2014 Edouard has not strengthened further. While the eye has become somewhat better defined and warmer since the last advisory, deep convection in the central dense overcast is not quite as cold. The intensification phase that the cyclone was experiencing earlier may have been interrupted by 15-20 kt of southeasterly shear as analyzed by the SHIPS model output and UW-CIMSS analyses. Dvorak intensity estimates remain a consensus T5.0/90 kt from TAFB and SAB, while UW-CIMSS CI values are around T5.6/105kt. A blend of these data is used to hold the initial intensity at 95 kt. Edouard still has another 24-36 hours to intensify. Moderately strong southeasterly shear, resulting from the flow between a low to the southwest and a high to the east at upper levels, is forecast to decrease as Edouard nears its point of recurvature. Near and immediately after that time, the shear and motion vectors should align, which tends to favor more symmetric convection. These favorable factors, despite gradually cooler waters beneath the cyclone, should allow Edouard to reach major hurricane status. Drastically cooler waters and a substantial increase in southwesterly shear beyond 48 hours suggest that a rapid decay of the cyclone should occur by that time. Interaction with a baroclinic zone in 2-3 days should cause the beginning of extratropical transition, but this process is expected to become interrupted when the cyclone shears apart and outruns this weather system. Edouard is likely to become a post-tropical cyclone in 96 hours, if not slightly sooner, and gradually spin down over the northeastern Atlantic. The NHC wind speed forecast is the same as the previous one through 48 hours and is above all of the intensity guidance. The forecast is lowered relative to the last advisory after that time and is near the multi-model consensus IVCN. Edouard has recently turned north-northwestward and the initial motion estimate is now 335/11. The track guidance remains in excellent agreement through 72 hours. The cyclone is expected to turn northward in 12-18 hours when it rounds the western periphery of a subtropical ridge. An acceleration toward the northeast, and then east-northeast, is expected beyond 24 hours as Edouard is captured by a relatively fast-paced westerly flow over the north Atlantic. Near the end of the forecast period, the increasingly shallow vortex should turn eastward and southeastward within the flow on the west side of a deep-layer low over the northeast Atlantic. The track guidance has shifted noticeably to the left on this cycle. However, to maintain continuity, the new NHC track forecast is only nudged to the left of the previous one, and lies on the far right side of the guidance envelope.

Hurricane ODILE Forecast Discussion Number 23
2014-09-15 22:43:36| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 200 PM PDT MON SEP 15 2014 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 152043 TCDEP5 HURRICANE ODILE DISCUSSION NUMBER 23 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152014 200 PM PDT MON SEP 15 2014 Visible satellite images show that the center of Odile remains well defined while inland over central Baja California Sur. An Air Force plane flying over the Gulf of California recently measured surface winds approaching hurricane strength. While the Dvorak technique is not valid for cyclones over land, using the inland Decay rate yields a current intensity estimate of 70 kt. It should be noted that these highest winds are likely occurring over a very small area. The official intensity forecast follows the Decay-SHIPS model very closely and shows the system weakening to a tropical storm in 12 hours and to a depression in 48 hours. In 3-4 days, the system should degenerate into a remnant low. This is similar to the previous NHC wind speed forecast. Given the mountainous terrain of the Baja California peninsula, the rate of weakening could be even faster than anticipated. The hurricane continues moving northwestward or 325/11 kt. A mid-level ridge over northwestern Mexico should steer Odile northwestward to north-northwestward for the next day or so. Afterwards, a low-level trough over southern California should cause the weakening cyclone to turn northward and then northeastward. The official forecast track is similar to the previous one and to a consensus of the latest GFS and ECMWF forecasts. Moisture is forecast to be advected northward by Odile's circulation over the next few days. This, along with the slow motion of Odile or its remnant low, will likely result in locally heavy rains and possible flooding over portions of the southwestern United States. Please see information from your local weather office for more details.

Hurricane EDOUARD Forecast Discussion Number 18
2014-09-15 22:34:06| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 PM AST MON SEP 15 2014 000 WTNT41 KNHC 152033 TCDAT1 HURRICANE EDOUARD DISCUSSION NUMBER 18 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL062014 500 PM AST MON SEP 15 2014 Edouard is approaching category 3 strength. The eye of the hurricane has become circular this afternoon, and deep convection has increased in the eyewall. Flight-level and SFMR winds, as well as dropsonde data from two NOAA reconnaissance aircraft, indicate that maximum winds are near 95 kt and the minimum pressure has decreased to 963 mb. Radar images from one of the NOAA aircraft indicate that the convective pattern is quite symmetric. The hurricane could strengthen some more during the next day or so while both the atmospheric and oceanic conditions remain favorable. After that time, however, cooler water, drier air, and a notable increase in shear should cause Edouard to weaken at a steady pace. The cyclone is forecast to transition to a post-tropical cyclone by day 4 when it is expected to be over very cold water and interacting with a frontal zone. The NHC intensity forecast is at the high end of the model guidance for the next 36 hours, and then follows the intensity model consensus, IVCN. Edouard continues to move northwestward but at a slightly slower pace than earlier, 305/11 kt. Water vapor imagery and satellite- derived winds indicate that the western side of the ridge that has been steering the hurricane is eroding in response to a trough over the western Atlantic. This change in the large-scale pattern should cause Edouard to turn northward during the next 24 hours. By late Tuesday and Wednesday, the system is expected to accelerate northeastward and then eastward when it becomes embedded in the mid-latitude westerlies. A slow down and a turn toward the southeast is predicted by the end of the forecast period when the weakening system is steered by the flow on the west side of a deep-layer low over the northeast Atlantic. The NHC track forecast has again been nudged to the left to come into better agreement with the latest guidance.
