Tropical Storm Kenneth Forecast Discussion Number 6
2017-08-19 22:35:37| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 200 PM PDT Sat Aug 19 2017 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 192035 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Kenneth Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132017 200 PM PDT Sat Aug 19 2017 Kenneth is on a strengthening trend. The cloud pattern of the tropical storm consists of a central dense overcast and curved outer bands, mostly on the south and west portions of the circulation. A partial SSMI/S overpass around 1500 UTC shows a mid-level eye feature, but it also indicated that the system is still vertically tilted from northeast to southwest, likely the result of northeasterly shear. The Dvorak classifications from TAFB/SAB and ADT values from CIMSS at the University of Wisconsin are unanimously 3.5/55 kt, and the initial wind speed is increased to that value. Kenneth is moving west-northwestward at 16 kt on the south side of a narrow mid-level ridge. A decrease in forward speed and a turn to the northwest is expected during the next 2 to 3 days while the storm moves toward the southwestern periphery of the ridge. Thereafter, an even slower motion toward the north-northwest is forecast as Kenneth moves into a break in the ridge caused by a large-scale trough off of the west coast of the United States. The track models have shifted a little to the south and west this cycle, and the NHC forecast has been adjusted in those directions. The environmental conditions appear generally favorable for Kenneth to keep strengthening during the next 36 hours or so, and the system is forecast to become a hurricane as early as tonight. After that time, SSTs fall below 26 deg C along the expected path of Kenneth, and these cool waters combined with a drier air mass should end the strengthening trend and induce gradual weakening. An increase in south-southwesterly shear in 4 to 5 days will also aid in the weakening process. The NHC intensity forecast is higher than the previous one and is in best agreement with the IVCN and HCCA consensus models. This forecast also calls for Kenneth to become a post-tropical cyclone by the end of the period when it will be over SSTs near 22 deg C.

Tropical Depression Harvey Forecast Discussion Number 10
2017-08-19 22:34:37| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 PM EDT Sat Aug 19 2017 000 WTNT44 KNHC 192034 TCDAT4 Tropical Depression Harvey Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092017 500 PM EDT Sat Aug 19 2017 The cloud pattern of Harvey has continued to decay during the day, at least in part due to 15-20 kt of northerly shear. The convective area near the center is neither very concentrated or curved, and overall the pattern more resembles that of an open wave than a tropical cyclone. Based on the decay and data from the aircraft mission this morning, the cyclone is downgraded to a tropical depression. Another Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft will investigate the system this evening to see if the circulation still exists. The intensity forecast is problematic. The current shear should subside over the next 24 h, and the statistical guidance responds to this by forecasting significant strengthening. On the other hand, the structure of the cyclone has decayed to the point where it may not be able to take advantage of the better environment, as suggested by the ECMWF and GFS. The intensity forecast follows the trend of the previous forecast, albeit with lower intensities, in showing gradual strengthening until landfall in Belize or Yucatan. However, an alternative forecast scenario is that the system degenerates to an open wave and is unable to regenerate during the next 72 h. The initial motion remains 275/19. There is no change in the forecast philosophy from the previous advisory, and there are only minor tweaks to the forecast track. A low- to mid-level ridge extending across the western Atlantic should keep Harvey, or its remnants, on a fast westward course across the Caribbean Sea for the next 36 h. Thereafter, there should be a weakness in the ridge north of Harvey caused by a strong mid/upper-level low currently seen in water vapor imagery over the Gulf of Mexico. This pattern should cause a turn toward the west-northwest and a decrease in forward speed. The track guidance remains in good agreement that Harvey should pass near or just north of northeastern Honduras, and then cross Belize and/or the Yucatan Peninsula into the Bay of Campeche. A Tropical Storm Watch could be required for portions of the northern coast of Honduras and northeastern Nicaragua tonight. At the present time, there is enough uncertainty about whether Harvey will actually be a tropical storm in 48 h that a watch is not warranted.

A trough of low pressure located about 250 miles north-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected to be unfavorable for development during the next couple of days while the system system moves west-northwestward at about 20 mph. Conditions may become a little more conducive early next week while the system is near the Bahamas. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent. A tropical wave located over the eastern Atlantic Ocean about midway between the Lesser Antilles and Africa is producing some shower and thunderstorm activity. Environmental conditions appear somewhat conducive for gradual development over the next day or two while the system moves west-northwestward to northwestward at about 20 mph, but upper-level winds are forecast to become unfavorable by early next week. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Beven
