Tropical Storm Kirk Forecast Discussion Number 13

2018-09-27 04:52:03| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)

Issued at 1100 PM AST Wed Sep 26 2018 339 WTNT42 KNHC 270251 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Kirk Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122018 1100 PM AST Wed Sep 26 2018 Strengthening vertical shear is beginning to take its toll on Kirk, with the low-level center displaced to the west of the deep convection. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft found that the central pressure has risen to 1002 mb, with maximum 850 mb flight-level winds of 56 kt and believable SFMR winds as high as 44 kt. Based on these wind data, Kirk's initial intensity is lowered to 45 kt. Vertical shear is forecast to increase further, reaching over 30 kt in about 24 hours, which should cause Kirk to continue weakening over the next day or two. And, based on the latest global model guidance, the cyclone could open up into a trough any time after passing by the Lesser Antilles. The new NHC intensity forecast is mainly an update of the previous one to account for the lower initial intensity, and it continues to closely follow the intensity consensus, IVCN, and the HCCA guidance. Dissipation is now shown by day 4, but as mentioned above, this could occur a lot sooner. Kirk appears to have slowed down just a little, with an initial motion toward the west-northwest, or 285/14 kt. Ridging to the north should maintain Kirk on this general trajectory, with perhaps just a slight deceleration as it moves into the eastern Caribbean Sea. There are some speed differences among the models, with the ECMWF showing a weaker and faster system, while the GFS shows a slightly stronger and slower system. The NHC track forecast is between these two solutions and is closest to the HCCA model.

Tropical Storm Kirk Public Advisory Number 13

2018-09-27 04:51:03| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)

Issued at 1100 PM AST Wed Sep 26 2018 196 WTNT32 KNHC 270250 TCPAT2 BULLETIN Tropical Storm Kirk Advisory Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122018 1100 PM AST Wed Sep 26 2018 ...HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT FINDS KIRK A LITTLE WEAKER... ...TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WINDWARD AND LEEWARD ISLANDS ON THURSDAY... SUMMARY OF 1100 PM AST...0300 UTC...INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------- LOCATION...13.0N 57.0W ABOUT 170 MI...270 KM E OF BARBADOS ABOUT 295 MI...470 KM ESE OF MARTINIQUE MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...50 MPH...85 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 285 DEGREES AT 16 MPH...26 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1002 MB...29.59 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 * Dominica * Martinique * Guadeloupe A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * St. Vincent and the Grenadines A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within 24 hours. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case within 24 hours. Interests elsewhere in the central and northern Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of Kirk as additional warnings or watches could be issued tonight. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Kirk was located by Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude 13.0 North, longitude 57.0 West. Kirk is moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue over the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of Kirk will move across the Lesser Antilles within the tropical storm warning area Thursday or Thursday evening. Data from the Hurricane Hunter plane indicate that maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is anticipated during the next couple of days, but Kirk is forecast to move across the Lesser Antilles and into the eastern Caribbean Sea as a tropical storm. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km) mainly to the north and east of the center. The minimum central pressure based on the latest aircraft data is 1002 mb (29.59 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the warning area by Thursday afternoon, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area by Thursday afternoon. RAINFALL: Kirk is expected to produce total rainfall of 4 to 6 inches across the northern Windward and southern Leeward Islands with isolated maximum totals up to 10 inches across Martinique and Dominica. These rains may produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. Across eastern Puerto Rico, Kirk is expected to bring 2 to 4 inches with isolated maximum totals of 6 inches by Friday and Saturday. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 AM AST. Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Berg
