Tropical Storm KARINA Forecast Discussion Number 32

Issued at 200 PM PDT WED AUG 20 2014 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 202048 TCDEP1 TROPICAL STORM KARINA DISCUSSION NUMBER 32 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP112014 200 PM PDT WED AUG 20 2014 Karina's cloud pattern has continued to become a little better organized today with a mid-level eye feature in microwave imagery and increasing convective bands. There are no signs of shear at this time since the outflow is fairly symmetric. Based on satellite estimates of T3.5 on the Dvorak scale from TAFB and SAB, the initial intensity is set at 55 knots. As long as Karina remains over warm waters and in a weak shear environment, there is a possibility of some strengthening, but it is more likely that the storm will fluctuate in intensity during the next 24 hours as suggested by most of the intensity guidance. After that time, gradual weakening should begin as the storm moves over cooler waters. Karina is embedded in very light steering currents, and consequently the storm has barely moved today. Little motion is anticipated during the next 24 hours. Karina will then begin to drift eastward, followed by a northeastward motion with a small increase in forward speed around the south and east sides of the large circulation of Tropical Storm Lowell. The guidance has been very persistent with this scenario, and the NHC forecast follows the consensus of the GFS and the ECMWF models.

Tropical Storm KARINA Forecast Discussion Number 31

Issued at 800 AM PDT WED AUG 20 2014 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 201435 TCDEP1 TROPICAL STORM KARINA DISCUSSION NUMBER 31 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP112014 800 AM PDT WED AUG 20 2014 Karina's cloud pattern has become a little better organized with the center embedded within the deep convection. Satellite intensity estimates from both TAFB and SAB are T3.5 on the Dvorak scale at 1200 UTC. Since that time, deep convection has decreased a little, and the initial intensity is set at 50 kt instead of the 55 kt supported by the Dvorak numbers. As long as Karina remains over warm waters and moderate shear, there will be small fluctuations in intensity. Once the cyclone moves away from the deep tropics in 3 days or so, it will encounter cooler waters and it will begin to weaken. The NHC forecast follows the intensity consensus model, which keeps Karina at 50 kt for at least 3 more days. As anticipated, Karina has moved very little and most likely will meander or remain nearly stationary for the next 24 hours. As soon as Karina begins to feel the influence of Tropical Storm Lowell's larger circulation in 36 hours or so, it will begin to drift eastward and then northeastward with an increase in forward speed around the south and east sides of Lowell. Guidance has not changed significantly, and the NHC forecast is very similar to the previous one, and very close to the consensus of the GFS and the ECMWF models. FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS INIT 20/1500Z 15.8N 136.6W 50 KT 60 MPH 12H 21/0000Z 15.8N 136.5W 50 KT 60 MPH 24H 21/1200Z 15.5N 136.5W 50 KT 60 MPH 36H 22/0000Z 15.2N 136.0W 50 KT 60 MPH 48H 22/1200Z 15.2N 135.3W 50 KT 60 MPH 72H 23/1200Z 17.0N 132.5W 45 KT 50 MPH 96H 24/1200Z 20.5N 129.0W 35 KT 40 MPH 120H 25/1200Z 26.5N 129.5W 25 KT 30 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW $$ Forecaster Avila
