Tropical Storm Kevin Forecast Discussion Number 9

Issued at 900 AM MDT Mon Aug 09 2021 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 091434 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Kevin Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112021 900 AM MDT Mon Aug 09 2021 Kevin has been successfully battling moderate northeasterly wind shear overnight, as a large convective mass with cloud tops colder than -80 degrees C has persisted for several hours over the center and southwestern portion of the cyclone's large circulation. The latest Dvorak intensity estimates have a large spread, ranging from 55 kt from TAFB to 35 kt from the UW-CIMSS ADT. A mean of 45 kt from these values suggest that the storm's initial intensity remains the same as 6 h ago, which seems reasonable as the overall appearance of Kevin has changed little this morning. The storm is moving to the west-northwest at 300/07 kt along the southwestern periphery of a mid-level ridge. This steering pattern is forecast by all of the forecast models to remain in tact for the next several days, resulting in a continued west-northwestward motion. The only notable change in the track guidance was a slight shift to the north, and the latest NHC track forecast lies in between the previous one and the tightly clustered track guidance. The favorable thermodynamic environment and warm water have allowed Kevin to maintain deep convection despite the vertical wind shear. With the large amount of convection occurring near and over the center of the cyclone, it is possible for some slight strengthening to occur in the short-term, despite wind shear persisting over the next couple of days. By 48 hours, Kevin will begin to move over decreasing SSTs and into a more stable atmospheric environment. These unfavorable thermodynamic conditions should cause the cyclone to begin weakening. By 96 hours, the system is forecast to be over water temperatures of less than 23 degrees C, which should result in the cyclone degenerating into a remnant low. The latest NHC intensity forecast was decreased slightly from the previous one, and is in good agreement with the various intensity consensus models.

Tropical Storm Kevin Forecast Discussion Number 8
2021-08-09 10:36:43| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 300 AM MDT Mon Aug 09 2021 320 WTPZ41 KNHC 090836 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Kevin Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112021 300 AM MDT Mon Aug 09 2021 Kevin is a sheared tropical cyclone. Satellite imagery indicates the low-level center lies near the edge of the dense overcast, which has a sharp border in the northeastern quadrant of the cyclone. The associated deep convection is displaced well to the southwest of Kevin's partially exposed center. Recent scatterometer data only show 25 to 30-kt winds near the center, but the full southwestern quadrant where the most intense convection is occurring was not sampled. The initial intensity is lowered to 45 kt for this advisory, in best agreement with the subjective final Dvorak T-numbers from TAFB and SAB. This estimate could still be generous, however. The cyclone has turned west-northwestward during the past 12 h, and its estimated motion is now 290/6 kt. The track forecast reasoning is unchanged, as Kevin is expected to move west-northwestward for most of the forecast period along the southwestern periphery of a mid-level ridge. The official NHC track forecast has been adjusted a bit northward again this cycle, following the trend of the latest multi-model consensus aids. Although Kevin has been embedded within a favorable thermodynamic environment, 15 to 20 kt of northeasterly shear has thus far limited its rate of strengthening. This shear is expected to persist for the next couple of days, so it seems likely that Kevin will continue to struggle intensifying, despite warm SSTs and a moist, unstable environment. By the time the vertical wind shear diminishes, Kevin will have gained enough latitude that the underlying SSTs will be unfavorable for further strengthening. The new intensity guidance is much lower than previous cycles, and so the latest NHC intensity forecast has been reduced by 5 to 10 kt at all forecast hours. Thus, Kevin is no longer forecast to become a hurricane. By day 5, the system is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low over sub-22 deg C waters.

Tropical Storm Kevin Forecast Discussion Number 7
2021-08-09 04:34:11| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 900 PM MDT Sun Aug 08 2021 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 090234 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Kevin Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112021 900 PM MDT Sun Aug 08 2021 Satellite images indicate that Kevin has been relatively steady in strength over the past several hours. Deep convection is most organized near the center and over the western half of the circulation, with microwave images showing the center partially exposed. This asymmetric cloud pattern is due to about 15 kt of northeasterly wind shear. The Dvorak classifications from TAFB, SAB, and CIMSS at the University of Wisconsin are largely unchanged and range from 45 to 55 kt, and based on that data the initial intensity is once again held at 50 kt. Kevin is moving westward at a relatively slow pace of 7 kt. There has been little change in the track forecast rationale. A general west-northwestward motion is expected during the next several days as Kevin moves in the flow on the southwest side of a mid-level ridge. The track models have trended a little to the north this cycle, and the NHC track forecast has been nudged in that direction. Despite being over warm 29 degree C waters and embedded in a moist air mass, northeasterly shear has limited the amount of strengthening during the past day or so. Since the shear is expected to continue, Kevin is only forecast to strengthen slowly during the next day or two. After that time, however, progressively cooler waters and a more stable environment should cause a gradual decay. The NHC intensity forecast is a little lower than the previous one, following the HCCA and IVCN consensus aids. The cyclone will likely become a remnant low by the end of the forecast period when it is expected to be over cool 22 C waters.
