Post-Tropical Cyclone ALEX Forecast Discussion Number 9
2016-01-15 21:32:46| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 PM AST FRI JAN 15 2016 000 WTNT41 KNHC 152032 TCDAT1 POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE ALEX DISCUSSION NUMBER 9 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL012016 500 PM AST FRI JAN 15 2016 Geostationary and low-level microwave satellite images show the cloud pattern becoming elongated and taking on a comma, i.e. frontal, shape. Short-term model forecasts show significant thermal advection in the circulation, and this is also suggested by surface data. An earlier scatterometer pass showed that the system was losing its inner-core wind maximum, with the strongest winds well-removed to the northeast of the center. Therefore Alex has made the transition to an extratropical cyclone, and this will be the last advisory. Maximum winds are estimated to be just below hurricane strength, and the post-tropical cyclone could re-intensify slightly in the short term due to baroclinic energy sources. Within 48 hours, the global models generally agree on the system merging with another extratropical low over the north Atlantic. The cyclone has accelerated greatly during the day and is now moving slightly west of due north, or 350/35. The dynamical guidance shows the system rotating counterclockwise around a large gyre over the north Atlantic during the next day or so. This is also shown in the official forecast, which is based mainly on input from the NOAA Ocean Prediction Center. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and available on the Web at http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml, and in high seas forecasts issued by Meteo France under WMO header FQNT50 LFPW and available on the web at http://www.meteofrance.com/previsions-meteo-marine/bulletin.

Issued at 500 PM AST FRI JAN 15 2016 000 WTNT31 KNHC 152032 TCPAT1 BULLETIN POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE ALEX ADVISORY NUMBER 9 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL012016 500 PM AST FRI JAN 15 2016 ...ALEX BECOMES EXTRATROPICAL... ...THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY... SUMMARY OF 500 PM AST...2100 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...43.0N 27.8W ABOUT 290 MI...470 KM N OF TERCEIRA IN THE AZORES MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...70 MPH...110 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...N OR 350 DEGREES AT 40 MPH...65 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...986 MB...29.12 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ Satellite images and surface observations indicate that Alex has lost its tropical characteristics. At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Alex was located near latitude 43.0 North, longitude 27.8 West. The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north near 40 mph (65 km/h), and a turn toward the northwest and west with an additional increase in forward speed is expected over the next 36 hours. Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next 36 hours, and the post-tropical cyclone is forecast to merge with another extratropical cyclone by Sunday. Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 485 miles (780 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- This is the last public advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center on this system. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and available on the Web at http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml, and in high seas forecasts issued by Meteo France under WMO header FQNT50 LFPW and available on the web at http://www.meteofrance.com/previsions-meteo-marine/bulletin. $$ Forecaster Pasch
