DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Seven was located near latitude 15.6 North, longitude 54.7 West. The depression is moving toward the west near 21 mph (33 km/h). A motion towards the west or west-northwest with a gradual decrease in forward speed is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of the depression is forecast to move over the Leeward Islands tonight, over the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Sunday, and then over the Dominican Republic on Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and the depression is expected to become a tropical storm later today. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1010 mb (29.83 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Tropical Depression Seven can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?key_messages. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area over the Leeward Islands by tonight or early Sunday. Tropical storm conditions are possible over the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico beginning on Sunday. RAINFALL: The system is expected to produce the following rainfall amounts today into Monday: Over the northern Leeward Islands and Virgin Islands...3 to 6 inches. This rainfall may produce scattered areas of flash and urban flooding. Over Puerto Rico...3 to 6 inches. Heavy rainfall could lead to flash, urban, and small stream flooding as well as potential mudslides. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Latto

Tropical Depression Seven Forecast Discussion Number 3
2021-08-14 04:59:57| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM AST Fri Aug 13 2021 000 WTNT42 KNHC 140259 TCDAT2 Tropical Depression Seven Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072021 1100 PM AST Fri Aug 13 2021 While Tropical Depression Seven has maintained a irregularly shaped cirrus canopy of deep cold cloud tops near its estimated center, the convection does not appear well organized. Several SSMIS microwave passes between 2011 UTC and 2205 UTC did not reveal much organization under the cirrus, with just a few patches of deeper convection contributing to the larger stratiform region. A helpful ASCAT-B pass at 0030 UTC showed that the center was near the southeastern end of this cirrus canopy, and found peak winds lower than earlier today at only 27 kt. The 0000 UTC subjective Dvorak estimates were T2.5/35 kt from SAB and T2.5/30 kt from TAFB and the most recent objective ADT estimate was in between at T2.2/32 kt. A blend of these data support keeping the initial intensity at 30-kt for this advisory. The small cyclone continues to move quickly off to the west at 280/18 kt. A large low- to mid-level ridge draped across the central and western North Atlantic is expected to maintain the system on a general west-northwest heading, though with gradual deceleration as the ridge is eroded some by a mid- to upper-tropospheric trough. The latest track guidance remains tightly clustered but a bit more poleward through the first 72 hours. Afterwards, more track guidance spread becomes apparent. A quick look at the latest ECMWF ensemble guidance suggest that some of this spread is driven by the forecast intensity of the system, with stronger members taking the cyclone on a more poleward track. For now, the latest NHC track forecast is fairly close to, but a little poleward of the previous track. This track remains close to the HCCA and TVCN consensus aids, and roughly splits the difference between the deterministic GFS and ECMWF model solutions. The intensity forecast is somewhat conflicting. Even though both the GFS & ECMWF based SHIPS guidance depict low 200-850 hPa vertical wind shear between 5-10 knots over the next 48 hours, the depression is also embedded in very dry mid-level air, with 700-500 hPa layer mean relative humidity as low as 44 percent currently in the ECMWF-SHIPS. In addition, the system is moving rapidly westward, and a continued fast motion in the short-term may result in higher westerly mid-level shear which may have a larger than normal effect to a small tropical cyclone in a very dry environment. After 48 hours, vertical wind shear out of the northwest is expected to increase, ahead of a large upper-level trough digging southwestward, upstream of the cyclone. Moreover, land interaction with both Puerto Rico and Hispaniola remains a distinct possibility, especially if the cyclone tracks left of the current forecast track. It is worth noting the latest HWRF run continues to be a extreme outlier with a much higher intensity than the remaining guidance. In fact, much of global model guidance and COAMPS-TC regional hurricane model barely maintains a closed circulation over the next 36-48 hours. I have elected to maintain a very similar forecast to the previous advisory, with peak winds of only 45 kt in 48-60 hours. This forecast remains conservative and is still lower than the SHIPS and HCCA intensity guidance. Key Messages: 1. Tropical storm conditions are expected in portions of the Leeward Islands late Saturday or early Sunday, and are possible over the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Sunday. The risk of strong winds will then spread westward to the Dominican Republic Sunday night and Monday. 2. Heavy rainfall could lead to flash and urban flooding over the Leeward and Virgin Islands. Across Puerto Rico, heavy rainfall may lead to flash, urban and small stream flooding, along with the potential for mudslides. 3. There is a risk of wind and rainfall impacts across Haiti, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the southeastern Bahamas, and Cuba next week, and interests in those areas should monitor the progress of this system.

Tropical Depression Fred Forecast Discussion Number 18
2021-08-14 04:51:25| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM EDT Fri Aug 13 2021 239 WTNT41 KNHC 140251 TCDAT1 Tropical Depression Fred Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062021 1100 PM EDT Fri Aug 13 2021 Interaction with land and southwesterly shear has continued to take a toll on Fred this evening. It is very difficult to determine in infrared satellite imagery and recent surface observations from Cuba if a closed circulation still exists, however the system is maintained as a tropical depression for now. Scatterometer data, which should arrive very soon, and reconnaissance aircraft observations on Saturday morning should provide additional information on the system's intensity and structure. The system still appears to be moving moving westward or 280/11 kt. There has been no change to the track forecast reasoning from the previous advisory. The cyclone is approaching the western periphery of a subtropical ridge extending over the western Atlantic, and Fred should turn west-northwestward overnight, and then northwestward on Saturday. The track guidance has again shifted westward, but the shift is not as large as was noted on the previous cycle. The NHC track forecast has been adjusted to the left, closer to the consensus aids, but it still remains to the east of those models. Some additional westward adjustments in subsequent forecasts may be required. As mentioned above, land interaction and southwesterly vertical will limit any attempt of re-organization overnight, however the system is expected to move off the northern coast of Cuba Saturday morning and the global model guidance suggests that a center re-formation could occur over the western portion of the Straits of Florida. The center re-formation shown by the guidance appears to be aided by an area of upper-level diffluent flow to the southeast of an upper-level trough currently located over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Although only a little strengthening is indicated in the official forecast through 36 hours, the environment could become a little more conducive on Sunday, and the NHC wind speed forecast again calls for gradual strengthening while Fred moves northwestward over the eastern Gulf. The updated intensity forecast is unchanged from the previous advisory and is a blend of the statistical guidance and the HCCA model. The intensity forecast continues to be of lower-than-normal confidence given the current disorganized structure of the system. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Tonight through Monday, heavy rainfall could lead to areal, urban, and small stream flooding impacts, and cause new and renewed river flooding, across southern and central Florida into the Big Bend. From Sunday onward, heavy rain and flood impacts could extend into other portions of the Southeast and into the southern and central Appalachians and Piedmont as Fred interacts with a front in the area. 2. Tropical storm conditions are expected in portions of the Lower Florida Keys on Saturday, where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect. 3. There is a risk of tropical storm conditions in the Florida Panhandle beginning on Monday. Watches may be required for a portion of this area on Saturday.
