Tropical Storm Hanna Forecast Discussion Number 5
2020-07-24 04:58:03| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1000 PM CDT Thu Jul 23 2020 000 WTNT43 KNHC 240257 TCDAT3 Tropical Storm Hanna Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL082020 1000 PM CDT Thu Jul 23 2020 The system continues to organize with curved bands becoming better established around the center. The cyclone certainly has the appearance of a tropical storm, and just minutes ago the NOAA Hurricane Hunters found winds to support upgrading the system to a 35-kt tropical storm. Data from the aircraft also show that the minimum pressure has dropped to 1002 mb, indicating that the system is on a developing trend. Hanna is moving fairly slowly to the west-northwest, with the latest initial motion estimated to be 285/6 kt. This west-northwest motion should continue on Friday, but a turn to the west is expected by Friday night as a subtropical ridge strengthens to the north of the cyclone. This steering flow should take the center of the storm across the southern Texas coast in 36 to 48 hours. After landfall, the storm is forecast to turn south of west across extreme southern Texas and northern Mexico. The models have shifted southward again this cycle, and the NHC track forecast has been adjusted in that direction. Additional strengthening seems quite likely until the storm makes landfall since it is expected to remain over the very warm Gulf of Mexico waters and in generally low wind shear conditions. After landfall, steady weakening should commence, and the cyclone should dissipate over the rugged terrain of northern Mexico in about 4 days. The NHC intensity forecast is a little above the previous one and at the high end of the guidance given the system's well organized structure and favorable environment. Due to the southward shift in the track forecast, the tropical storm warning has been extended southward from Port Mansfield to the Mouth of the Rio Grande. Tropical Storm Hanna is the earliest 8th storm on record. The previous record was in 2005 when Harvey formed on August 3rd. Key Messages 1. Hanna is forecast to strengthen and it is expected to bring tropical-storm-force winds to portions of the Texas coast, where a tropical storm warning is in effect. 2. Hanna is expected to produce heavy rains across portions of Louisiana, southern Texas, and northern Mexico. These rains could result in flash flooding and isolated minor-to-moderate river flooding.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Forecast Discussion Number 10
2020-07-24 04:40:41| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM AST Thu Jul 23 2020 000 WTNT42 KNHC 240240 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020 1100 PM AST Thu Jul 23 2020 After ingesting a hefty portion of dry high statically stable air this morning, Gonzalo appears to be on the comeback trail. Enhanced infrared BD-curve imagery shows that a small Central Dense Overcast with cloud tops of -80C is redeveloping over the surface center. A compromise of the available subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates supports maintaining 50 kt for this advisory. This morning's upper air sounding from Barbados revealed a very dry, high statically stable atmosphere with a mean RH of 23 percent and a CAPE of only 327 J/Kg. Consequently, Gonzalo will be moving into a rather harsh thermodynamic environment over the weekend. As a result, the NHC forecast calls for weakening beyond the 48 hour period as it enters the eastern Caribbean sea and dissipation well south of Hispaniola at day 5, or sooner as a few of the global models suggest. The intensity forecast is basically an update of the previous advisory through 48 hours, indicating a hurricane approaching and moving over the southern Windward Islands, and a faster weakening trend beyond day 2, similar to a consensus of the large-scale models. The initial motion is estimated to be westward, or 275/12 kt within the stiff mid-tropospheric steering flow provided by an anchored subtropical ridge to the cyclone's north. The song remains the same, with Gonzalo expected to speed up toward the west and west-northwest through the entire period. The NHC official forecast is based on a blend of the various consensus aids and is down the middle of the tightly clustered guidance. Key Messages 1. The risk of wind and rain impacts from Gonzalo in portions of the southern Windward Islands this weekend continues to increase, however there is significant uncertainty in how strong Gonzalo will be when it moves across the islands. 2. Despite the uncertainty in Gonzalo's future intensity, hurricane or tropical storm conditions are possible across portions of the southern Windward Islands Saturday and Saturday night. Hurricane and Tropical Storm Watches are currently in effect for some of the islands, and additional watches or warnings could be required tonight or early Friday. Interests in the southern Windward Islands should monitor the progress of Gonzalo and follow any advice given by local officials.
