Tropical Storm Dorian Public Advisory Number 6A
2019-08-26 01:34:32| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 800 PM AST Sun Aug 25 2019 000 WTNT35 KNHC 252334 TCPAT5 BULLETIN Tropical Storm Dorian Intermediate Advisory Number 6A NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052019 800 PM AST Sun Aug 25 2019 ...DORIAN HEADED FOR THE WINDWARD ISLANDS... SUMMARY OF 800 PM AST...0000 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...11.6N 54.8W ABOUT 335 MI...540 KM ESE OF BARBADOS ABOUT 445 MI...715 KM ESE OF ST. LUCIA MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...50 MPH...85 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 280 DEGREES AT 14 MPH...22 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1003 MB...29.62 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY: None. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Barbados * St. Lucia * St. Vincent and the Grenadines A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * Martinique * Grenada and its dependencies 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. Additional watches or warnings could be issued tonight for portions of the Windward and Leeward Islands. Elsewhere, interests in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Hispaniola should monitor the progress of Dorian. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 800 PM AST (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Dorian was located near latitude 11.6 North, longitude 54.8 West. Dorian is moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this motion should continue through tonight. A turn toward the west-northwest is expected on Monday, with this motion continuing through Tuesday night. On the forecast track, the center of Dorian is expected to be near the Windward Islands late Monday or early Tuesday and move into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Tuesday. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is expected during the next few days, and Dorian could be near hurricane strength by Tuesday over the eastern Caribbean Sea. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Dorian is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 2 to 4 inches in portions of the Lesser Antilles, with possible isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are likely in the warning area by late Monday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area by Monday night or Tuesday. SURF: Swells generated by Dorian will be affecting portions of the Lesser Antilles by late Monday. These swells could cause life- threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 1100 PM AST. $$ Forecaster Pasch/Latto

Tropical Storm Dorian Forecast Discussion Number 6
2019-08-25 23:05:28| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 PM AST Sun Aug 25 2019 000 WTNT45 KNHC 252105 TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Dorian Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052019 500 PM AST Sun Aug 25 2019 While still looking a bit ragged, convection has continued to increase near the center of Dorian since the last advisory, and a just-received SSMI/S overpass shows a convective band wrapped about three-quarters of the way around the center. Various Dvorak-based objective and subjective satellite intensity estimates are in the 35-45 kt range, while recent microwave-based estimates are in the 45-60 kt range. Based on these data, the initial intensity is increased to 45 kt. The initial motion remains 280/12 kt. The subtropical ridge to the north of the cyclone should steer it generally westward to west-northwestward for the next 72 h or so, with a more northwestward motion possible thereafter as Dorian approaches an upper-level low pressure area forecast to be over the north-central Caribbean. The model guidance has not shifted much since the previous advisory. However, some of the normally reliable models are in disagreement. The ECMWF and GFS keep Dorian weaker and farther south, and they are on the left side of the guidance envelope. The HWRF and UKMET have more northerly tracks, and forecast Dorian to pass near Puerto Rico and then near or north of Hispaniola. The various consensus models are between these extremes, and the earlier forecast is now close to them. Thus, the new forecast track is little changed from the previous forecast, and it calls for Dorian to move through the Windward Islands between 36-48 h and cross Hispaniola between 96-120 h. Dorian still appears to be ingesting dry air based on the somewhat ragged convective pattern. This entrainment is expected to continue sporadically for the next 2-3 days, and this could slow intensification despite an environment of light to moderate shear. The intensity guidance is split on how much intensification could occur during this time. The statistical-dynamical SHIPS and LGEM models showing more intensification and forecast Dorian to become a hurricane. On the dynamical side, the latest HWRF run shows little development, and the GFS/ECMWF keep the system weak to the point where it degenerates into a tropical wave before reaching Hispaniola. The intensity forecast follows the general trend of the statistical-dynamical models, but shows less intensification out of respect for the dynamical models. The intensity forecast becomes even lower confidence after 72 h due to uncertainties in how much shear and land that Dorian will encounter. The new forecast calls for Dorian to weaken to a depression due to passage over Hispaniola. However, the large range of possibilities also includes both Dorian going north of Hispaniola and remaining a hurricane and the small cyclone dissipating completely over the island. Key Messages: 1. Dorian is expected to bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the Lesser Antilles, where tropical storm watches and warnings are in effect. Residents in these areas should refer to advice from local government officials and products from their local meteorological service for additional information. 2. Dorian is expected to produce 2 to 4 inches of rainfall across portions of the Lesser Antilles, with isolated amounts as high as 6 inches. 3. While it is too soon to determine the specific time or magnitude of possible direct impacts in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, or Hispaniola interests in those areas should monitor the progress of Dorian.
