Tropical Storm NICOLE Forecast Discussion Number 1

2016-10-04 17:00:52| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)

Issued at 1100 AM AST TUE OCT 04 2016 000 WTNT45 KNHC 041500 TCDAT5 TROPICAL STORM NICOLE DISCUSSION NUMBER 1 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL152016 1100 AM AST TUE OCT 04 2016 The cloud pattern associated with the low pressure system to the northeast of Puerto Rico has become better organized, with some banding features having developed over the eastern portion of the circulation, and ASCAT data indicates that the circulation is now well-defined. Therefore advisories are being initiated on this system. Visible satellite images show that the low-level center is near the western edge of the deep convection. The scatterometer data indicate that the maximum winds are near 45 kt. Even stronger shear lies ahead for Nicole, and a weakening trend is likely to commence by late tomorrow. The official forecast is close to the LGEM guidance. The initial motion estimate is 310/7 kt. Over the next few days, the forward motion of Nicole is likely to become blocked by a mid-level high to the northwest. Therefore the cyclone is likely to begin meandering later in the forecast period. The official forecast track lies close to the multi-model consensus.
