Tropical Storm Gamma Public Advisory Number 4A
2020-10-03 13:44:56| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 700 AM CDT Sat Oct 03 2020 000 WTNT35 KNHC 031144 TCPAT5 BULLETIN Tropical Storm Gamma Intermediate Advisory Number 4A NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020 700 AM CDT Sat Oct 03 2020 ...GAMMA STRENGTHENS SOME MORE AS IT APPROACHES THE EAST COAST OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA... SUMMARY OF 700 AM CDT...1200 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...19.7N 87.2W ABOUT 40 MI...65 KM SSE OF TULUM MEXICO MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...65 MPH...100 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 305 DEGREES AT 9 MPH...15 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...987 MB...29.15 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY: None. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Punta Herrero to Dzilam Mexico A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * South of Punta Herrero to Puerto Costa Maya Mexico * West of Dzilam to Progreso Mexico A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gamma was located near latitude 19.7 North, longitude 87.2 West. Gamma is moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this motion should continue at a slower forward speed today. A turn toward the north is expected on Sunday, followed by a turn to the west or west-southwest Sunday night or Monday. On the forecast track, the center of Gamma should move inland over the eastern Yucatan Peninsula later today, and be near the north coast of the Yucatan Peninsula on Sunday. Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Some slight additional strengthening is possible before Gamma makes landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula today. After landfall, some weakening is expected. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center. The minimum central pressure estimated from Hurricane Hunter observations is 987 mb (29.15 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Tropical Storm Gamma can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5, WMO header WTNT45 KNHC, and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml. RAINFALL: Gamma is expected to produce rainfall of 4 to 8 inches across portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and far western Cuba, with maximum rainfall amounts as high as 10 to 15 inches possible across the northeastern portion of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flash floods. A separate area of significant rain is expected to develop well away from the center in the Mexican states of Campeche, Tabasco, and northern Chiapas with rainfall of 8 to 12 inches and isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. Rainfall of 1 to 3 inches with maximum amounts of 5 inches is expected in the Bay Islands of Honduras and over the Cayman Islands. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are spreading into the Tropical Storm Warning area on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, and these conditions should spread across the remainder of the warning area through Sunday. Tropical Storm conditions are possible within the Tropical Storm Watch area later today and on Sunday. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 1000 AM CDT. $$ Forecaster Pasch

Tropical Storm Gamma Forecast Discussion Number 4
2020-10-03 11:05:23| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 400 AM CDT Sat Oct 03 2020 000 WTNT45 KNHC 030905 TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020 400 AM CDT Sat Oct 03 2020 Satellite imagery and reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that Gamma is strengthening. A central dense overcast with cloud tops to -85C has formed, along with an outer convective band in the eastern semicircle. The aircraft has reported maximum 850 mb flight-level winds of 58 kt and reliable- looking surface wind estimates from the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer of 40-45 kt. Based on this, the initial intensity is increased to 45 kt. The initial motion is again a little to the left of the previous advisory, 305/8 kt. During the next 24-36 h, Gamma is expected to turn northward as it tries to recurve into a break in the subtropical ridge caused by a mid-latitude trough over the eastern United States. The track guidance, however, is in good agreement that the trough will bypass the tropical cyclone, with a ridge building to the north after 36 h. This should cause Gamma to turn westward or southwestward between the ridge and the Central American cyclonic gyre to the south. There is uncertainty as to whether Gamma will move over the Gulf of Mexico before this turn occurs, as the ECMWF keeps the center inland or very near the coast. The new forecast track is north of the ECMWF, but a little to the south of the previous track. The foreast track calls for landfall on the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula in about 12 h, followed by the center reaching the Gulf of Mexico in about 36 h and a track near the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula thereafter. Conditions appear favorable for strengthening until landfall, and the forecast 12-h intensity of 50 kt could be conservative given current trends. The remainder of the intensity forecast is quite uncertain due to the possibility of land interaction, dry air entrainment, shear, and possible interaction with another system to the east. The intensity guidance again does not show much strengthening if Gamma emerges into the Gulf of Mexico, and that part of the new intensity forecast has only minor adjustments from the previous one. It should be noted that several models show a low pressure area over the northern Gulf of Mexico after 120 h. Whether this will be Gamma or a new system is unclear at this time. The biggest threat from this large and slow-moving storm is the the potential for heavy rainfall and flooding, particularly near and over mountainous terrain. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall that could result in life-threatening flash flooding over portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, far western Cuba and well away from the center in the Mexican states of Campeche, Tabasco, and northern Chiapas. 2. Gamma is forecast to bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the Yucatan Peninsula today and Sunday, where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect.
