Tropical Storm Kenneth Forecast Discussion Number 8
2017-08-20 10:39:08| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 200 AM PDT Sun Aug 20 2017 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 200838 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Kenneth Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132017 200 AM PDT Sun Aug 20 2017 The overall cloud pattern of Kenneth has changed little since the previous advisory. The center remains embedded with a fairly symmetric central dense overcast, but there has been no evidence of an eye in infrared satellite pictures overnight. Subjective and objective Dvorak T-numbers are between 3.5 and 4.0, which support maintaining an initial wind speed of 60 kt. Kenneth is forecast to remain within a low shear environment and over warm water for another 24 to 36 hours. This should result in strengthening and Kenneth is expected to become a hurricane later today. After that time, decreasing sea surface temperatures and less favorable thermodynamic conditions should cause gradual weakening. Late in the period, increasing southwesterly shear should hasten Kenneth's demise and the system is expected to become a remnant low by day 5. The NHC intensity forecast is close to the SHIPS guidance and the IVCN multi-model consensus through 72 hours, but is a little below this guidance at days 4 and 5. Kenneth has been moving generally westward during the past 24 hours and recent satellite fixes suggest that Kenneth's forward motion has slowed to about 13 kt. The track forecast reasoning remains unchanged from the previous few advisories, with Kenneth expected to move around the western portion of a subtropical ridge over the next couple of days. By Tuesday, a developing weakness in the ridge should cause Kenneth to turn northwestward, then north-northwestward late in the period. The early portion of the track forecast has been shifted a little southward, primarily due to a more southward initial position as noted by recent microwave data. After 72 h, the dynamical models have come into a little better agreement and little change was required to the previous NHC track.

SUMMARY OF 200 AM PDT...0900 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...16.0N 126.1W ABOUT 1155 MI...1860 KM WSW OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...70 MPH...110 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 280 DEGREES AT 15 MPH...24 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...996 MB...29.42 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 200 AM PDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Kenneth was located near latitude 16.0 North, longitude 126.1 West. Kenneth is moving toward the west near 15 mph (24 km/h). A slower west-northwestward motion is expected today, and a turn toward the northwest is forecast to occur by late Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is expected, and Kenneth is forecast to become a hurricane today. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.42 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 800 AM PDT. $$ Forecaster Brown
