Issued at 1100 AM EDT Tue Sep 01 2020 000 WTNT45 KNHC 011441 TCDAT5 Tropical Depression Fifteen Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152020 1100 AM EDT Tue Sep 01 2020 The depression has become better organized this morning with the center embedded in the western side of a growing area of deep convection. An earlier buoy report recorded adjusted maximum winds of 32 kt, and roughly half of the estimates show that the depression is a tropical storm. Conservatively, the winds will be held at 30 kt until we will see what the scatterometer shows this afternoon. Increasing shear is expected to limit any significant strengthening, although it does seem more likely than not that this system will barely make it to a tropical storm later today. The shear is forecast to get quite strong by tomorrow afternoon, so weakening is anticipated by then, and persistence of that shear is expected to cause the cyclone to decay into a remnant low in about 48 hours. While the initial part of the forecast is a little higher than the last one, this change is really in the noise level for intensity prediction and is only noticeable because of the tropical storm threshold. The initial motion has turned toward the east-northeast or 060/12 kt. There is reasonable agreement among the guidance that this motion will continue through tomorrow, and then become eastward during the next 2-3 days around the northern side of the subtropical ridge, followed by a northeastward turn by day 4. Similar to the last forecast, most of the uncertainty is with the speed, rather than the direction of the cyclone. The new forecast is closer to the faster guidance and the previous NHC track prediction. Dissipation is shown at 120h, although a few models have it occuring as early as days 2-3.

Issued at 500 AM EDT Tue Sep 01 2020 024 WTNT45 KNHC 010835 TCDAT5 Tropical Depression Fifteen Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152020 500 AM EDT Tue Sep 01 2020 Deep convection remains displaced to the east and southeast of the depression's low-level center due to increasing west-northwesterly shear. Maximum winds are still estimated to be 30 kt, with no appreciable structural changes having occurred since last evening's ASCAT pass, which showed 25-30 kt winds. The initial motion is toward the northeast, or 050/11 kt, with the depression becoming embedded in the mid-latitude westerlies north of the subtropical ridge. Forecast guidance agrees that the cyclone will turn east-northeastward and then eastward during the next 2-3 days, moving farther out into the Atlantic, although there is greater-than-normal spread among the track models mainly due to speed differences. In particular, the ECMWF is one of the fastest models, while the GFS and UKMET hang the cyclone back to the west a little longer. Since many of the consensus aids, including HCCA, are closer to the faster model solutions, the NHC track forecast leans toward the quicker side of things. UW-CIMSS analyses indicate that the shear has increased to 20-25 kt, and it's only expected to get stronger from here. Some slight strengthening of the depression can't be ruled out during the next 12-24 hours while the shear vector is aligned with the storm motion, but by this time tomorrow the shear is likely to be as strong as 35-45 kt out of the northwest. Therefore, little change in strength is now indicated in the official forecast for the next day or two. The shear magnitude is expected to peak in about 48 hours, and the depression is forecast to be a remnant low at that point, if it hasn't become one already. The GFS dissipates the low in about 48 hours, but since the other models hang onto it a little bit longer, the NHC forecast shows dissipation by day 5.

Tropical Depression Fifteen Forecast Discussion Number 2
2020-09-01 04:39:36| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM EDT Mon Aug 31 2020 000 WTNT45 KNHC 010239 TCDAT5 Tropical Depression Fifteen Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152020 1100 PM EDT Mon Aug 31 2020 Tropical Depression Fifteen is a sheared tropical cyclone, with the edge of the deep convection displaced nearly 30 n mi to the east of the exposed low-level center. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter mission earlier this evening provided SFMR instrument measurements of nearly 30 kt in the southeast quadrant. And, a recent ASCAT overpass showed several wind vectors in that same general area between 25-30 kt. Therefore, the initial intensity is being held at 30 kt. The depression is moving northeast at 12 kt around the northwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. A turn to the east-northeast is expected to occur on Tuesday as the cyclone moves along the northern periphery of the ridge. Late in the forecast period, what is left of the cyclone is forecast to get caught in the flow between building high pressure to its northeast, and an approaching trough to its northwest, which should induce a more northerly component of motion. The latest NHC forecast is little changed from the previous one, and is near the tightly clustered track guidance. The cyclone has moved into an environment with moderate westerly shear of about 20 kt, as indicated by the latest UW-CIMSS deep-layer shear analysis product. The SHIPS guidance by both the GFS and ECMWF indicate that the shear magnitude will more than double between 18 h and 36 h from now. So it is anticipated that the only window of time for the depression to strengthen will be tonight through tomorrow, while the system is over warm waters and in a moist atmospheric environment. After 48 h, when the vertical wind shear is forecast to be between 40 and 50 kt, the cyclone is forecast to weaken, and by 96 h the NHC forecast now shows the system degenerating into a remnant low. Exactly what transpires with the cyclone later in the forecast period remains uncertain, as some of the global models suggest that the cyclone will open into a trough in a few days, while others indicate that the system could be absorbed by a larger mid-latitude trough around day 5. Regardless of what occurs by those time frames, the models all suggest that the system should not gain much more strength than it currently has. The official NHC intensity forecast is in good agreement with the various intensity consensus aids.
