Tropical Storm NICOLE Forecast Discussion Number 25
2016-10-10 10:39:52| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 AM AST MON OCT 10 2016 000 WTNT45 KNHC 100839 TCDAT5 TROPICAL STORM NICOLE DISCUSSION NUMBER 25 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL152016 500 AM AST MON OCT 10 2016 Nicole's overall convective pattern has changed little since the previous advisory, with most of the convection located in the eastern semicircle. However, during the past hour or two, a small burst of deep convection with tops to -80C has developed just east of the exposed low-level circulation center, signaling that dry air entrainment into the center of the cyclone has abated somewhat. Satellite current intensity (CI) estimates from TAFB and SAB remain 55 kt, and a late-arriving ASCAT-A pass indicated 45-kt surface winds in the western semicircle where no convection was present. Based on these data, the initial intensity remains 55 kt. Nicole is moving slowly northward and the initial motion estimate is 360/05 kt. The cyclone is expected to move slowly at around 5 kt for the next 72 hours, beginning with a motion toward the north today, followed by a turn to the north-northwest tonight, and a turn toward the northwest on Tuesday. By 36-48 hours, a break in the ridge to the north of Nicole is forecast to develop as a shortwave trough moves off of the U.S. east coast and erodes the blocking ridge. This should allow Nicole to move northward by 48 hours and turn toward the north-northeast and northeast by 72 hours. By 96 hours and beyond, the aforementioned shortwave trough is forecast to capture the cyclone and accelerate Nicole to the northeast over the north Atlantic. The global models are now in excellent agreement on this developing track scenario, but have unfortunately shifted farther west and are now much closer to Bermuda. The new NHC track forecast has been shifted westward as a result, but still lies east of the consensus model TVCN and the GFS-ECMWF solutions, which bring Nicole over or just west of Bermuda in about 84 hours. The combination of northerly shear and some additional modest dry air entrainment is expected to inhibit development today. However, by Tuesday the vertical wind shear is forecast by the GFS and ECMWF models to decrease to less than 10 kt, and remain low until about 72 hours. The low shear conditions and developing upper-level outflow pattern as depicted in the global and regional models, along with Nicole's already robust low- to mid-level circulations, should allow the cyclone to strengthen and regain hurricane status during that time. By 96 hours and beyond, southwesterly shear ahead of the shortwave trough is forecast to increase to 30-40 kt, which should induce steady weakening. Extratropical transition is possible by 120 hours, but most of the intensity guidance maintains Nicole as a tropical cyclone, which is reflected in the official forecast. The new intensity forecast closely follows the SHIPS intensity model, which appears to have a good handle on the timing of the reduction of the vertical shear and associated strengthening, and also remains above the intensity consensus model IVCN. The 34-kt wind radius was expanded in the northeastern quadrant based on 31-33 kt winds recently reported by NOAA Buoy 41049.

Tropical Storm NICOLE Public Advisory Number 25
2016-10-10 10:34:24| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 AM AST MON OCT 10 2016 000 WTNT35 KNHC 100833 TCPAT5 BULLETIN TROPICAL STORM NICOLE ADVISORY NUMBER 25 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL152016 500 AM AST MON OCT 10 2016 ...NICOLE MOVING SLOWLY NORTHWARD... ...EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN BY TONIGHT... SUMMARY OF 500 AM AST...0900 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...25.0N 65.2W ABOUT 505 MI...810 KM S OF BERMUDA MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...65 MPH...100 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...N OR 360 DEGREES AT 7 MPH...11 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...989 MB...29.21 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Nicole was located near latitude 25.0 North, longitude 65.2 West. Nicole is moving toward the north near 7 mph (11 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue today. A turn toward the north-northwest is expected to occur tonight, followed by a turn toward the northwest on Tuesday. Maximum sustained winds remain near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected today. Gradual strengthening is forecast to begin tonight and continue into Tuesday. Nicole is expected become a hurricane again by Tuesday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 989 mb (29.21 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells associated with Nicole and Post-Tropical Cyclone Matthew should increase on Bermuda during the next couple of days. These swells will create dangerous surf conditions and rip currents. Please refer to products being issued by the Bermuda Weather Service for additional information. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 1100 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Stewart
