Tropical Storm Beta Forecast Discussion Number 12
2020-09-20 16:59:30| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1000 AM CDT Sun Sep 20 2020 000 WTNT42 KNHC 201459 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Beta Discussion Number 12 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL222020 1000 AM CDT Sun Sep 20 2020 Beta remains a sheared tropical cyclone whose internal structure and convective pattern remained unchanged from the previous advisory, and essentially unchanged over the past 24 hours. The cyclone is going through another bursting phase with the strongest convection displaced into the northeastern quadrant. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft investigating Beta this morning has found maximum 850-mb flight-level winds of 61 kt in some rather vigorous thunderstorms in the north of the center, along with believable SFMR surface winds of 45-47 kt in the northeastern quadrant where 45-kt winds were reported by ship KGSG at 0800 UTC. The aircraft also found that the central pressure was down a little bit to 996 mb. Based on these data, the initial intensity is being maintained at 50 kt. It should be noted that the wind field is quite asymmetric with the strongest winds located in the deep convection and farther to the northeast behind an old frontal boundary. Beta remains trapped in weak steering currents and the initial motion is still quite slow at 300/03 kt. Beta is forecast to remain embedded in weak steering currents for the next 48 h or so, caught between a mid-level ridge located over Florida and another ridge situated over the U.S. Southern Plains. Thereafter, the ridge over the Southern Plains if expected to break down while the ridge over Florida amplifies northward and westward across the southern U.S., resulting in a very gradual increase in forward speed toward the north by late Tuesday and then toward the northeast on Wednesday. Beta is forecast to degenerate into a remnant low pressure system by early Wednesday and dissipate inland over the lower Mississippi by late Friday or Saturday. Due to the continued southwest to westerly shear expected to affect Beta, which will keep the convection confined to the northeastern and eastern quadrants, the official forecast track is located along the eastern or right side of the track guidance envelope, and is the right of all of the consensus aids, toward the middle-to-upper Texas coast. Beta is expected to remain under the influence of 15-20 kt of deep layer vertical wind shear, which is enough to keep the cyclone from strengthening much, if any, but not enough to weaken or dissipate the cyclone before it makes landfall. As a result, the intensity is forecast to remain steady at 50 kt until landfall, followed by slower-than-normal weakening for an inland tropical cyclone due to its expected proximity to the Gulf where onshore rainbands could brings higher squalls along the coast. By 72 h, Beta is forecast to weaken fairly quickly into a remnant low since the system will be much farther inland by that time. The intensity model guidance remain in decent agreement, so the new NHC intensity forecast is identical to the previous advisory and is similar to the HCCA consensus model. Key Messages: 1. The expected slow motion of Beta will produce a long duration rainfall event from the middle Texas coast to southern Louisiana. Flash, urban, and river flooding is likely. Rainfall will then spread northward into the lower Mississippi River Valley by mid-week where flash, urban, and river flooding is possible. 2. There is the danger of life-threatening storm surge near times of high tide through Tuesday along portions of the Texas and Louisiana coasts within the storm surge warning areas. Residents in these areas should follow advice given by local officials. 3. Tropical-storm-force winds are occurring along portions of the northwestern Gulf Coast within the tropical storm warning area in Louisiana. These winds will spread westward to the Texas coast later today and Monday.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Storm Surge Warning is in effect for... * Port Aransas, Texas to Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana, including Copano Bay, Aransas Bay, San Antonio Bay, Matagorda Bay, Galveston Bay, Sabine Lake, and Lake Calcasieu A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Port Aransas Texas to Morgan City Louisiana A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * Baffin Bay to Port Aransas Texas A Storm Surge Warning means there is a danger of life-threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, during the next 36 hours in the indicated locations. For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. This is a life-threatening situation. Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions. Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case within the next 36 hours. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Beta was located by an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft near latitude 27.2 North, longitude 93.0 West. Beta is moving slowly toward the west-northwest near 3 mph (6 km/h). A slightly faster motion toward the west-northwest is forecast to occur during the next couple of days, followed by a slow down and a turn to the north and northeast Monday night and Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Beta will move toward the coast of Texas and will likely move inland Monday or Monday night, and remain close to the coast of southeastern Texas on Tuesday. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next couple of days before Beta reaches the Texas coast. Weakening is anticipated once Beta moves inland. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles (315 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from the reconnaissance aircraft is 996 mb (29.42 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Beta can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC. STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, LA to Ocean Springs, MS including Vermilion Bay, Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain, and Lake Maurepas...1-3 ft Port Aransas, TX to Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, LA including Copano Bay, Aransas Bay, San Antonio Bay, Matagorda Bay, Galveston Bay, Sabine Lake, and Calcasieu Lake... 2-4 ft Baffin Bay, TX to Port Aransas, TX including Corpus Christi Bay and Baffin Bay... 1-3 ft Mouth of the Rio Grande to Baffin Bay, TX...1-2 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring in the tropical storm warning area along the southwestern Louisiana coast and will spread westward to the warning areas in Texas late today through early Monday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch area along the south Texas coast on Monday. RAINFALL: Through Thursday, Beta is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 8 to 12 inches with isolated totals of 20 inches from the middle Texas coast to southern Louisiana, with 4 to 8 inches spreading northward into the lower Mississippi River Valley by mid-week. Flash and urban flooding is likely, as well as minor to isolated moderate river flooding. TORNADOES: A tornado or two could occur Monday near the middle-to-upper Texas coast or the southwestern Louisiana coast. SURF: Swells are increasing and reaching the coast of Texas and the Gulf Coast of Mexico, generated by a combination of Beta and a cold front entering the northern Gulf of Mexico. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 100 PM CDT. Next complete advisory at 400 PM CDT. $$ Forecaster Stewart
