Tropical Storm Marco Forecast Discussion Number 8
2020-08-22 10:50:42| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 400 AM CDT Sat Aug 22 2020 000 WTNT44 KNHC 220850 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Marco Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL142020 400 AM CDT Sat Aug 22 2020 SFMR data from the last leg of the 53rd Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft indicated a couple of 48-50 kt winds, but were associated with a significant spike in the rainfall rate. Additionally, the flight-level winds were only 36 kt in that area and the central pressure has increased a little to 1005 mb. The cloud pattern has improved during the past several hours with deep convection developing near the center and spiral bands forming over the eastern portion of cyclone. Based on a blend the hurricane hunter data and current subjective satellite intensity estimates, the initial intensity is raised to 40 kt. Although the UW-CIMSS shear product and global models indicate a favorable upper wind pattern, GOES-16 sounder analysis data show a higher than normal vertically stable environment in the western Caribbean. This negative contribution maybe what's hampering significant development. Consequently, as shown in the previous advisory, only modest strengthening is indicated in the NHC forecast through 48 hours. Only the Decay SHIPS and LGEM intensity models indicate that Marco will become a hurricane in a couple of days. Both the HMON and HWRF have backed off of showing a hurricane in the Gulf. Afterward, increasing west-southwesterly shear should lead to weakening as the cyclone turns toward the northwestern Gulf coast. The NHC forecast lies between the higher LGEM/Decay SHIPS solution and the lower NOAA HCCA intensity model which indicates a peak intensity of 55 kt. The initial motion is estimated to be west-northwestward, or 335/10 kt. Marco is being steered toward the northwest by a mid- to upper-level cut-off low and associated trough extending into the southwestern Gulf from the Mississippi Valley. By Sunday, the aforementioned feature is forecast to lift northeastward allowing the subtropical ridge to build back over the central gulf. This should cause Marco to turn northwestward and west-northwestward early next week toward the the northwestern Gulf coast. Large-scale guidance generally agree that any binary direct or indirect interaction, while both systems are in the gulf and at near equal latitude, is unlikely at this point. The official track forecast has been adjusted to the right of the previous advisory and lies just to the left of the various multi-model consensus aids. The 34 kt wind radii have been adjusted based on the aircraft reconnaissance data and a 0224 UTC scatterometer pass. Key Messages: 1. Marco is forecast to strengthen over the northwestern Caribbean Sea through Saturday as it approaches the northeast coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. A Hurricane Watch and a Tropical Storm Warning are in effect for portions of that region. 2. The system is expected to move into the south-central Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm on Sunday. Although some strengthening is anticipated on Sunday, weakening is forecast as the system approaches the northwestern Gulf coast on Tuesday. It is still too soon to know exactly the location and magnitude of impacts the system will produce along the central or northwestern Gulf Coast, and interests in that area should continue monitoring the progress of this system over the next few days.

Tropical Storm Laura Forecast Discussion Number 9
2020-08-22 04:54:37| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM AST Fri Aug 21 2020 000 WTNT43 KNHC 220254 TCDAT3 Tropical Storm Laura Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132020 1100 PM AST Fri Aug 21 2020 Laura remains quite disorganized this evening. Although satellite and radar images show a fair amount of deep convection over and to the east of the northern Leeward Islands, NOAA Hurricane Hunter data and surface observations indicate that the low-level center is located well to the west of the main area of deep convection. This asymmetric structure indicates that Laura is still not vertically aligned due to at least moderate wind shear. The initial intensity is held at a possibly generous 40 kt, and most of the strongest winds are well north and east of the center. The steering pattern for Laura appears to be very well established. A subtropical ridge over the central and western Atlantic is expected to expand westward, and that should cause Laura to move west-northwestward at a fairly quick pace during the next few days. This should take the storm across Puerto Rico on Saturday, near Hispaniola Saturday night, and close to or over Cuba on Sunday and Monday. By early next week, Laura should approach the western end of the ridge and that should cause the storm to slow down and turn toward the northwest over the eastern and central Gulf of Mexico. Even though the steering pattern is well established, there are still chances of center reformations, which could cause small but important track changes. The NHC track forecast has been adjusted a little to the south of the previous one to account for the more southern initial position and westward motion. Near the end of the period, Laura's track could also be influenced by Tropical Storm Marco, which is also forecast to be over the Gulf of Mexico, however the details of that interaction are highly uncertain at this time. Although the storm's structure is quite ragged at the moment, some of the models do show Laura becoming better organized this weekend and early next week due to a decrease in wind shear and very warm waters. However, there is significant uncertainty on how much the circulation will interact with the rugged islands of Hispaniola and Cuba. If the storm is able to stay north of those islands, some notable strengthening is possible as depicted by the HWRF and HMON models. However, if the storm moves over the islands, it might not strengthen at all until it passes through that area. The bottom line is the intensity forecast is very track dependent, which makes it more uncertain than normal. Given that the new track shows more land interaction, this forecast shows less strengthening in the short term, but is largely unchanged at the longer forecast times. Key Messages: 1. Tropical storm conditions are expected across portions of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico through Saturday. Tropical storm conditions are also expected along the northern coasts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and the Turks and Caicos and southeastern Bahamas Saturday into Sunday. Heavy rainfall is likely across these areas beginning and could cause mudslides and flash and urban flooding through Sunday. 2. Tropical storm conditions are possible over portions of the central Bahamas Sunday night. 3. The details of the long-range track and intensity forecasts remain more uncertain than usual since Laura is forecast to move near or over portions of the Greater Antilles through Monday. However, Laura could bring storm surge, rainfall, and wind impacts to portions of Cuba, the Bahamas, and Florida early next week and the northern U.S. Gulf Coast by the middle of next week. Interests there should monitor the progress of Laura and updates to the forecast during the next few days.

Tropical Storm Marco Forecast Discussion Number 7
2020-08-22 04:54:37| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM EDT Fri Aug 21 2020 000 WTNT44 KNHC 220254 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Marco Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL142020 1100 PM EDT Fri Aug 21 2020 An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft has investigated the system over the northwest Caribbean during the past few hours. The plane reported a number of unflagged SFMR winds between 35 and 40 kt and max flight level winds of 41 kt. A blend of these data supports an intensity of 35 kt, and therefore, this system has been designated as Tropical Storm Marco. Deep convection has increased near and to the east of Marco's center during the past few hours. Although there still isn't much evidence of inner-core banding, the data from the plane does indicate that the center of Marco has become better defined since the afternoon and that the minimum pressure has dropped. Unfortunately the intensity forecast has not become any clearer and confidence in that aspect of the forecast is quite low. Marco is embedded within an environment that could support a fast rate of strengthening. However, recent microwave data does not indicate that the system has developed an inner-core, and only gradual strengthening is likely until it does. The intensity guidance spread is quite high, with the GFS and ECMWF global models both showing little further strengthening, while the HMON regional model rapidly makes Marco a hurricane before it reaches the northeast tip of the Yucatan peninsula. That possibility can not be ruled out, but a majority of the intensity guidance favors the weaker solution of the global models. Even with the HMON outlier included, the NHC intensity forecast is above the model consensus. Once Marco moves over the central Gulf of Mexico, a rapid increase in wind shear associated with an upper-level trough should limit the potential for further strengthening, and weakening is still anticipated before Marco nears the northern Gulf Coast, as shown in the previous official forecast. Confidence in the track forecast is also lower than normal, as the models spread remains quite high. Only small adjustments were made to the NHC forecast which heavily favors the GFS and ECMWF solutions on the left side of the track guidance. It is worth noting that the NHC track forecast is near middle of the GFS and ECMWF ensembles. Marco is currently forecast to move northwestward toward a weakness in the subtropical ridge over the central Gulf of Mexico for the next day or two, before the ridge builds and turns the tropical cyclone farther west. Near the end of the period, Marco's track and intensity could be also influenced by Tropical Storm Laura which is also forecast to be over the Gulf of Mexico, however the details of that interaction are highly uncertain at this time. Given the high uncertainty in the forecast, larger than normal changes could be required to future advisories. Key Messages: 1. Marco is forecast to strengthen over the northwestern Caribbean Sea through Saturday as it approaches the northeast coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. A Hurricane Watch and a Tropical Storm Warning are in effect for portions of that region. 2. The system is expected to move into the south-central Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm on Sunday. Although some strengthening is anticipated on Sunday, weakening is forecast as the system approaches the northwestern Gulf coast on Tuesday. It is still too soon to know exactly the location and magnitude of impacts the system will produce along the central or northwestern Gulf Coast, and interests in that area should continue monitoring the progress of this system over the next few days.
