Remnants of Harvey Forecast Discussion Number 11

2017-08-20 04:34:05| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)

Issued at 1100 PM EDT Sat Aug 19 2017 000 WTNT44 KNHC 200233 TCDAT4 Remnants Of Harvey Discussion Number 11 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092017 1100 PM EDT Sat Aug 19 2017 An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigated Harvey earlier this evening and was unable to close off a center of circulation. The plane found a well-defined wind shift across the wave axis, and winds decreased as the plane flew south along the axis toward a pressure minimum south of 14N. Harvey has therefore degenerated into an open wave, and this will be the last advisory. Maximum surface winds, as measured by the plane, remain 30 kt. As a side note, the associated deep convection has continued to lose organization and is now oriented linearly from northeast to southwest along the wave axis. Harvey's remnants are moving quickly westward with a motion of 275/19 kt. A fast westward to west-northwestward motion is expected to continue for the next couple of days as the wave moves along the southern periphery of the subtropical ridge. A break in the ridge caused by a mid- to upper-level low over the Gulf of Mexico could cause the system to turn northwestward and slow down as it moves across the Yucatan Peninsula and into the Bay of Campeche in 3-5 days. The global models, particularly the GFS and ECMWF, deserve a lot of credit for showing Harvey dissipating, or at least not strengthening, over the Caribbean Sea. Even though the vertical shear that has been plaguing the system is expected to diminish in 24-48 hours, the system's fast motion and ambient dry air will likely keep Harvey's remnants from regenerating into a tropical cyclone in the near term. For that reason, the solutions shown by the GFS, ECMWF, and UKMET appear most reasonable, keeping the system as an open wave, or possibly regenerating to a tropical depression before it reaches Belize and the Yucatan coast. Regeneration is also possible if the remnants emerge over the Bay of Campeche. The remnants of Harvey will be monitored for signs of regeneration and for the possibility of bringing tropical storm conditions to Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico during the next couple of days. If necessary, advisories could be resumed and tropical storm watches or warnings issued before Harvey regains tropical cyclone status. Please refer to the Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook for this system's potential to regenerate into a tropical cyclone, beginning with the 2 AM issuance on Sunday morning.

Interests in northern Nicaragua, northern Honduras, Belize, and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico should monitor the progress of the remnants of Harvey. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the remnants of Harvey were located near latitude 14.3 North, longitude 71.8 West. The tropical wave associated with Harvey's remnants is moving quickly toward the west near 22 mph (35 km/h), and this general motion will continue for the next day or two. The remnants are expected to move westward across the central Caribbean Sea on Sunday and across the western Caribbean Sea toward Central America on Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- This is the last public advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center on this system unless regeneration occurs or if tropical cyclone watches or warnings are required for land areas. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and available on the Web at http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml. $$ Forecaster Berg

Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook

2017-08-20 01:19:35| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)

000 ABNT20 KNHC 192319 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Sat Aug 19 2017 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently downgraded Tropical Depression Harvey, located over the central Caribbean Sea. Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized near a trough of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles north of the northern Leeward Islands. Environmental conditions are not expected to be conducive for development of this system during the next couple of days while it moves west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph. Conditions could become slightly more conducive for development once the system is near the northern Bahamas or Florida around the middle of next week. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent. A tropical wave located about a thousand miles east of the Lesser Antilles is producing a large area of cloudiness but limited showers and thunderstorms. The wave is currently embedded in a dry air mass, and upper-level winds are expected to become too strong to support development in a couple of days. Therefore, tropical cyclone formation is not likely while this system moves northwestward at about 15 mph. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Berg
