Tropical Storm Sally Forecast Discussion Number 8
2020-09-13 16:57:34| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 AM EDT Sun Sep 13 2020 133 WTNT44 KNHC 131457 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Sally Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192020 1100 AM EDT Sun Sep 13 2020 Although the center of Sally remains near the northwestern edge of the deep convection, there is a large area of convection and some banding evident over the southeastern portion of the circulation. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigating the storm this morning reported a peak 850-mb flight-level wind of 62 kt, and believable SFMR winds of around 50 kt, and these data are the basis for the 50-kt initial wind speed. The plane reported minimum pressures in the 996-998 mb range, with the higher value being the most recent information available. Northwesterly shear continues over the cyclone, but this shear is expected to decrease later today and tonight as Sally moves beneath a narrow upper-level ridge axis. This more conducive upper-level pattern is expected to allow the tropical storm to strengthen while it moves over the north-central Gulf of Mexico tonight and Monday. Most of the intensity guidance calls for Sally to become a hurricane in about 24 hours and so does the official forecast. Additional strengthening is expected after that time and Sally could be slightly stronger at landfall than indicated below since it is forecast to reach the coast between the 36 h forecast point and 48 h when it is inland over southeast Louisiana. The NHC intensity forecast is close to the consensus aids through 24 hours and at or just above the SHIPS, LGEM and HFIP corrected consensus aids at 36 and 48 hours. Sally is moving west-northwestward at about 10 kt. The tropical storm should continue on that general heading and speed over the next 12 to 24 hours as it steered around the southern flank of a mid-level ridge. After 24 hours, Sally is expected to be near the western portion of the ridge which should cause the storm to slow down and turn northwestward. The global models have trended toward slightly more ridging over the northern Gulf during the next 24 hours, and the track guidance has edged westward. The NHC track has been adjusted slightly westward and lies near the lastest run of the GFS, but is not as far west as the ECMWF and the various consensus aids. As Sally rounds the ridge in 48 to 72 h, the steering flow is expected to be quite weak, and a slow northward motion is forecast at that time. Afterward, a north-northeastward to northeastward motion should commence as the cyclone moves in that direction ahead of a short-wave trough. Users are reminded to not focus on the exact details of the track or intensity forecasts, as the average NHC track error at 36-48 h is 60-80 miles and the average intensity error is 10-15 mph. In addition, wind, storm surge, and rainfall hazards will extend far from the center. Unfortunately, confidence is increasing that Sally's expected slow forward speed near the Gulf Coast will exacerbate the storm surge and heavy rainfall threats. KEY MESSAGES: 1. An extremely dangerous and life-threatening storm surge is now expected, and a Storm Surge Warning is in effect for areas outside the southeastern Louisiana Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System from Port Fourchon, Louisiana to the Mississippi/Alabama border. Residents in these areas should follow any advice given by local officials. 2. Hurricane conditions are expected by late Monday from Grand Isle, Louisiana to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, including Metropolitan New Orleans, with tropical storm conditions likely by Monday. Preparations should be rushed to completion in those areas. 3. Sally is expected to produce flash flooding across southwest and central Florida and prolong existing minor river flooding across west-central Florida through Monday. Widespread significant flash flooding and minor to isolated major river flooding is likely across portions of the central Gulf Coast Monday through the middle of the week, with flooding impacts spreading farther into the Southeast in the middle to late parts of the week.

Tropical Storm Karina Forecast Discussion Number 3
2020-09-13 16:53:37| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 900 AM MDT Sun Sep 13 2020 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 131453 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Karina Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP162020 900 AM MDT Sun Sep 13 2020 Karina's center is a little bit closer to the deep convection this morning, resulting in intensity estimates increasing slightly. Based on Dvorak estimates of T3.0/45 kt and T2.5/35 kt from TAFB and SAB, respectively, and an overnight SATCON estimate of 42 kt, Karina's initial intensity is assumed to be 40 kt. The moderate northeasterly shear currently affecting the cyclone is not expected to change appreciably during the next few days. However, Karina will remain over ocean waters warmer than 26 degrees Celsius for the next 48 hours, which should allow for a gradual intensification trend during that period. The shear is forecast to lighten up in 3-4 days, but by then Karina will be over colder waters and in a drier, more stable environment, which should induce weakening. Karina is likely to lose all of its deep convection and become a remnant low by the end of the forecast period. The NHC intensity forecast is generally close to the HCCA aid and the IVCN intensity consensus and shows weakening starting a little sooner than before. Karina is moving toward the west-northwest (300/9 kt), south of a mid-level ridge axis which extends from northwestern Mexico southwestward over the Pacific. This ridge should keep Karina on this general heading with a very gradually decreasing forward speed through day 4. Once the cyclone weakens to a remnant low, it is expected to turn westward, steered by lower-level trade winds. No significant changes in the track forecast were required compared to the previous prediction, and the official forecast lies generally close to the multi-model consensus aids.
