Tropical Depression KARL Forecast Discussion Number 29

Issued at 1100 AM AST WED SEP 21 2016 000 WTNT42 KNHC 211443 TCDAT2 TROPICAL DEPRESSION KARL DISCUSSION NUMBER 29 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL122016 ISSUED BY THE NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD 1100 AM AST WED SEP 21 2016 A research flight by the NOAA P3 aircraft earlier this morning had a difficult time closing off a well-defined center of circulation. However, we are able to track what looks like a reasonable center on early-morning visible satellite imagery. Based on the latest satellite images and the P3 data, it does appear that the center has wobbled toward the northwest and slowed down a bit. However, the longer-term 12-hour motion estimate is still west-northwestward, or 295/8 kt. Most of the deep convection remains displaced well to the east of the center, but new convection has recently been developing just to the north and northwest. The initial intensity is held at 30 kt based on earlier reports from the NOAA P3 and a 1254 UTC ASCAT-B scatterometer pass. Karl remains located to the south and southwest of a mid-level high. However, the depression is expected to turn northwestward later today when it begins to move between the high and a mid- to upper-level low located near the Carolina coast. Karl should then turn northward and then accelerate toward the northeast from 48 hours and beyond once it becomes embedded in the mid-latitude westerlies. The track guidance remains in generally good agreement on this scenario, and the main differences appear toward the end of the forecast period when the ECMWF remains much slower than the other models. The new official forecast remains very close to a consensus of the GFS and ECMWF models, which did not require any significant changes from the previous advisory. The distance between Karl and the upper-level low that has been adversely affecting it during the past couple of days appears to be increasing a bit, and the shear vector over the cyclone has become south-southeasterly. Although the global models continue to indicate that the shear will decrease over the next few days, they do not agree on the direction of that shear. In addition, the models do not agree on how much moisture there will be in the mid-level environment around the cyclone. As a result, the intensity forecast is complicated, and confidence is not very high. For continuity's sake, the updated intensity forecast is very similar to the previous forecast during the first 3 days, and then it is a little lower at days 4 and 5 based on the latest guidance. Karl is expected to become extratropical by day 5, which agrees with the latest guidance from the Ocean Prediction Center.

Tropical Depression KARL Forecast Discussion Number 28
2016-09-21 10:35:15| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 AM AST WED SEP 21 2016 000 WTNT42 KNHC 210835 TCDAT2 TROPICAL DEPRESSION KARL DISCUSSION NUMBER 28 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL122016 500 AM AST WED SEP 21 2016 Karl's structure is very difficult to determine this morning. Satellite data indicate that the low-level center moved westward far away from the convection, and currently it is hard to say if Karl possess a closed circulation or not. Assuming that it still does, the maximum winds are estimated generously at 30 kt, since the cloud pattern has become less organized. I would not be surprised if early visible satellite images will reveal that the cyclone has degenerated into a broad area of low pressure. Global models have totally failed so far in forecasting the upper-level winds surrounding Karl. The upper-low near Karl which unanimously all models have been forecasting to weaken is still strong and producing shear over the cyclone. Given such a resilient shear pattern, additional weakening is anticipated today. However, most of the models are still predicting a favorable pattern for intensification, and on this basis as well as continuity, the NHC forecast calls for some strengthening beyond 36 hours while Karl moves away from the hostile tropics. By the end of the forecast period, Karl should be rapidly losing tropical characteristics while it interacts with the mid-latitude flow. The initial motion is also highly uncertain, giving that we have been following the low-cloud swirl defining the alleged center. The best estimate is toward the west or 280 degrees at 12 kt. Karl is approaching the southwestern edge of the subtropical ridge, and this pattern should result in a turn to the northwest and then north during the following two days. After that time, a sharp recurvature is anticipated around the northwestern portion of the subtropical high and ahead of a mid-latitude shortwave. This sharp recurvature is the solution provided by most of the track models, and the NHC forecast is in the middle if the guidance envelope.
