Hurricane Sam Forecast Discussion Number 35

2021-10-01 10:46:48| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)

Issued at 500 AM AST Fri Oct 01 2021 000 WTNT43 KNHC 010846 TCDAT3 Hurricane Sam Discussion Number 35 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL182021 500 AM AST Fri Oct 01 2021 An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigated Sam a few hours ago and found that the already-intense hurricane had strengthened a bit since yesterday afternoon's reconnaissance flight. The plane measured a peak 700-mb flight-level wind of 147 kt in the northeastern eyewall, and using a typical 90-percent reduction from that altitude, the intensity is estimated to be 130 kt. Dropsondes released in the eye also indicated that the central pressure had fallen to 934 mb. This drop in pressure is likely due to a combination of the strengthening and an expansion of the tropical-storm- and hurricane-force wind fields, which was confirmed by the aircraft and scatterometer data from last evening. Sam is moving a little faster toward the north-northwest (345/15 kt) as it curves around the western periphery of a mid-tropospheric ridge located over the eastern and central subtropical Atlantic. The hurricane is expected to turn northward later today and then northeastward by Saturday night--passing well to the east of Bermuda--when it begins to move between the ridge and a mid- to upper-level low located over the northeastern United States and Atlantic Canada. Interaction and a possible merger with the aforementioned low during extratropical transition is likely to cause a sudden north-northeastward acceleration to the southeast of Newfoundland on day 4, followed by a slower motion toward the east-northeast on day 5. The track models are very tightly clustered for much of the 5-day forecast period, yielding high confidence in the NHC track forecast. The new NHC forecast is relatively unchanged from the previous forecast, and closely follows the GFEX and TVCA consensus aids. Although fluctuations in intensity will still be possible, a general weakening trend is anticipated in the coming days as Sam moves over a gradually cooler ocean, reaching sub-26C waters by day 3. However, the weakening is not expected to be rapid due to continued upper-level divergence and only light-to-moderate deep-layer shear, and Sam could remain a major hurricane at least through Saturday night. Global models now indicate that Sam should complete extratropical transition by day 4, and baroclinic forcing is likely to keep the system as a potent hurricane-force post-tropical cyclone through the end of the forecast period. The NHC intensity forecast is essentially an update of the previous forecast, lying close to the HCCA and IVCN consensus aids. Key Messages: 1. Swells generated by Sam will impact the northern Leeward Islands and the Greater Antilles, including Puerto Rico, during the next couple of days. Swells are expected to reach Bermuda and the Bahamas today, and then spread to the United States east coast and Atlantic Canada this weekend. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. 2. Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda beginning tonight or early Saturday, and a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the island.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Bermuda A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Sam was located near latitude 26.6 North, longitude 61.7 West. Sam is moving toward the north-northwest near 17 mph (28 km/h). A turn toward the north and north-northeast, at a similar forward speed, is expected later today and tonight, followed by a northeastward motion Saturday night through Monday. On the forecast track, the center of Sam will pass well to the east of Bermuda tonight. Maximum sustained winds are near 150 mph (240 km/h) with higher gusts. Sam is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Although fluctuations in intensity are still possible today, weakening is forecast during the next couple of days. However, Sam is expected to remain a major hurricane through at least Saturday night. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km). The minimum central pressure based on data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is 934 mb (27.58 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Sam can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO header WTNT43 KNHC, and on the web at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at3.shtml?key_messages. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda beginning tonight or early Saturday. SURF: Swells generated by Sam will impact the northern Leeward Islands and the Greater Antilles, including Puerto Rico, during the next couple of days. Swells are expected to reach Bermuda and the Bahamas later today, and then spread to the United States east coast and Atlantic Canada this weekend. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
