Tropical Storm Grace Forecast Discussion Number 18
2021-08-17 22:56:06| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 PM EDT Tue Aug 17 2021 272 WTNT42 KNHC 172056 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Grace Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072021 500 PM EDT Tue Aug 17 2021 Radar imagery and earlier Hurricane Hunter aircraft and ASCAT observations indicate that the center of Grace has been moving over Jamaica. The aircraft and scatterometer data indicate that the maximum winds are near 45 kt. Cirrus-level outflow from the system remains quite pronounced, suggestive of weak vertical shear at this time. Grace will be moving over the waters of the northwestern Caribbean Sea beginning later tonight. These waters are of very high oceanic heat content. Although mid-level environmental humidities are shown by the SHIPS diagnoses to be only marginally moist for the next couple of days, other factors should be conducive for strengthening. The official intensity forecast, which shows Grace becoming a hurricane tomorrow, is in reasonable agreement with the latest multi-model consensus. Some slight weakening should occur due to passage over the Yucatan Peninsula, followed by re-intensification over the Bay of Campeche. There is, however, significant uncertainty in the intensity prediction for this latter part of the forecast period. The storm continues on a heading just north of west, or 280/13 kt. A strong 500-mb ridge should be maintained to the north of Grace for essentially the entire forecast period. There is good agreement among the track models on a continued generally westward to west-northwestward motion for the next 5 days. Little change has been made to the official track forecast in comparison to the previous one. The new NHC track is, again, very close to the dynamical model consensus. Key Messages: 1. Hurricane conditions and a dangerous storm surge are expected over portions of the Hurricane Warning area in the eastern Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico late Wednesday night. 2. Heavy rainfall across Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and the Yucatan Peninsula is likely to cause to flash, urban, and small stream flooding, with the potential for mudslides highest in Haiti. 3. Tropical storm conditions are expected over portions of Jamaica through this evening, and over the Cayman Islands tonight and early Wednesday. Tropical storm conditions are expected to spread westward from portions of the southern coast of Cuba in the warning area to, possibly, other portions of the southern coast of Cuba in the watch area tonight through Wednesday.

Tropical Storm Henri Forecast Discussion Number 8
2021-08-17 22:40:11| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 PM AST Tue Aug 17 2021 000 WTNT43 KNHC 172040 TCDAT3 Tropical Storm Henri Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL082021 500 PM AST Tue Aug 17 2021 Henri appears to be gaining strength. Satellite images show banding features becoming increasingly curved, especially on the east side of the system, and an eye feature has been occasionally seen in radar images from Bermuda. The upper-level outflow is also well established to the north and east of the center. The center itself is estimated to be located near the western edge of the convection, but it is possible that a new center is forming farther east. The initial intensity is raised to 55 kt following the Dvorak classification from TAFB. The initial wind radii has been expanded outward based on an earlier ASCAT pass. The tropical storm appears to have slowed down, and the latest initial motion estimate is 255/2 kt. A subtropical ridge over the western Atlantic is building eastward to the north of Henri, and this feature should steer the storm westward at a slightly faster pace during the next two to three days. After that time, the ridge is expected to weaken and shift farther east as a cut off low or negatively-tilted trough develops over the northeast U.S. This change in the steering pattern should cause Henri to turn northeastward between Bermuda and the east coast of the U.S in the 72-120 h period. There is a fair amount of spread in exactly when and where Henri makes this turn and the GFS and EC ensembles have some members not far offshore of New England and Atlantic Canada. Overall, the guidance has shifted westward again this cycle, and the NHC track forecast has been adjusted accordingly from days 3 to 5. The northwesterly shear currently affecting Henri is subsiding, which should allow the storm to gain a little more strength tonight. However, a round of moderate northerly shear is expected to setup over Henri on Wednesday and Thursday and that will likely temporarily end the opportunity for strengthening. Although this shear would typically cause some weakening, the combination of warm SSTs and increasing mid-level moisture could offset the negative influences of the shear. By Friday and over the weekend, the shear is expected to lessen again and since the other environmental factors are predicted to remain favorable for the storm, strengthening is shown from days 3-5. This forecast is above the previous one, and lies fairly close to the middle of the guidance envelope.
