Hurricane Teddy Forecast Discussion Number 20
2020-09-17 10:54:10| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 AM AST Thu Sep 17 2020 000 WTNT45 KNHC 170854 TCDAT5 Hurricane Teddy Discussion Number 20 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL202020 500 AM AST Thu Sep 17 2020 Several passive microwave overpasses have revealed that Teddy has developed a 25-nmi-wide closed eye, while GOES-16 infrared satellite data shows significant cooling of the cloud tops surrounding a ragged eye feature. As a result, satellite intensity estimates have increased, thus Teddy's intensity has been increased to 90 kt based on a Dvorak classification of T5.0/90 kt from SAB and a recent UW-CIMSS adjusted-ADT value of T5.7/105 kt. The initial motion estimate based on the microwave satellite fixes is 305/10 kt. As described in previous discussions, the track forecast and reasoning both remain straightforward and unchanged for the next 72 h. The latest NHC model guidance is in excellent agreement that a deep-layer ridge situated over the central Atlantic will force Teddy on a northwestward track toward the western Atlantic. There is a little less divergence among the models on days 4 and 5 then on previous runs, and this difference remains related timing differences on where and how fast the hurricane begins to recurve ahead of an approaching mid-latitude trough and frontal system moving off the coast of the eastern United States in about 3 days. The new NHC track forecast is close to the previous advisory track now that it appears that the models have settled down, and lies close to the consensus models TVCA, HCCA, and FSSE. The overall environmental conditions appear to be conducive for Teddy to continue to at least gradually strengthen for the next 36-48 hours. However, with sea-surface temperatures expected to be near 30 deg C in 48-72 hours when the vertical shear is going to be near zero, the intensity forecast at that time could be too low. For now, the official intensity forecast lies near the upper end of the guidance envelope, and shows Teddy's intensity leveling off after 36 hours due to the very dry environment that the hurricane will be moving through, which could disrupt the inner-core convective pattern and eye feature.

Tropical Storm Vicky Forecast Discussion Number 13
2020-09-17 10:33:41| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 AM AST Thu Sep 17 2020 000 WTNT41 KNHC 170833 TCDAT1 Tropical Storm Vicky Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL212020 500 AM AST Thu Sep 17 2020 Strong upper-level westerly winds associated with the outflow of Hurricane Teddy continues to rip across the circulation of Vicky. These very hostile winds aloft are causing Vicky to struggle with maintaining deep convection, which is quite sheared and limited to the northeastern quadrant. The latest satellite intensity estimates range from 25 to 38 kt, and the initial intensity is held at a possibly generous 35 kt. Since the shear is expected to remain strong, Vicky is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression later today, a remnant low by tonight, and dissipate entirely by the weekend. The weak storm is moving west-northwestward at 6 kt. A turn to the west is expected later today, followed by a west-southwest motion after that until the cyclone dissipates in a couple of days. The track forecast lies near the various consensus aids.

Tropical Depression Sally Forecast Discussion Number 25
2020-09-17 10:31:43| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 400 AM CDT Thu Sep 17 2020 000 WTNT44 KNHC 170831 TCDAT4 Tropical Depression Sally Discussion Number 25 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192020 400 AM CDT Thu Sep 17 2020 Although the overall convective cloud and rain shield in satellite and radar imagery continues to erode, Tropical Depression Sally is still producing significant rainfall across east-central Alabama and west-central and central Georgia. Surface observations and Doppler radar data indicate that Sally has weakened to a 25-kt depression over southeastern Alabama. Sally will continue to weaken, and fairly rapidly at that, due to increasing friction and loss of convection owing to very hostile westerly to southwesterly vertical wind shear in excess of 40 kt. Sally will likely degenerate into a remnant low pressure system by tonight or early Friday, and merge with a frontal system over North Carolina by Friday evening. Sally is moving northeastward or 055/10 kt. A northeastward to east-northeastward motion will continue for the next 36 hours or so as the cyclone moves ahead of a broad deep-layer trough over the northeastern United States. The official track forecast is down the middle of the tightly packed NHC model guidance suite, and lies close to the previous advisory track and the consensus model HCCA. This is the last NHC advisory on Sally. Future information on this system, including the rainfall threat, can be found in Public Advisories issued by the Weather Prediction Center beginning at 10 AM CDT, under AWIPS header TCPAT3, WMO header WTNT34 KWNH, and on the web at http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov KEY MESSAGES: 1. Widespread flooding is expected from central Georgia through southeastern Virginia. Along the central Gulf Coast, most widespread moderate to major river flooding from the historic rainfall event will crest by the weekend, but rivers will remain elevated well into next week.
