Hurricane Maria Forecast Discussion Number 20
2017-09-21 05:00:30| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM AST Wed Sep 20 2017 000 WTNT45 KNHC 210300 TCDAT5 Hurricane Maria Discussion Number 20 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152017 1100 PM AST Wed Sep 20 2017 The satellite presentation is a little better organized than a few hours ago, and Maria now has a large ragged eye. However, data from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter plane indicate that the winds are still 95 kt, while the central pressure has remained unchanged oscillating near 959 mb. Even with the current favorable low-shear environment and warm ocean, it takes in general about 24 hours for the boundary layer of the hurricane to recover from the passage over high terrain, in this case Puerto Rico. In addition, the reconnaissance plane reported two wind maxima and two concentric eyewalls in the previous penetration, and it just reported that the inner one has collapsed in the last fix. This suggest that an eyewall replacement cyclone has occurred. With this complex scenario, the NHC forecast allows for some small increase in intensity as suggested by guidance and brings Maria back to category 3 status in about 24 hours. Maria continues right on track, moving toward the northwest or 310 degrees at 8 kt. The hurricane is expected to be steered north-northwestward and northward around a subtropical ridge over the Atlantic for the next 2 to 3 days. The only change to the previous forecast is a small shift to the east by the end of the forecast period as indicated by most of the track models. By then, Maria should have reached the northwestern edge of the ridge. The NHC forecast is basically on top of the multi-model consensus and very near the HFIP corrected consensus. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Maria is moving away from the northwestern coast of Puerto Rico, and strong winds and storm surge flooding should continue to subside through early Thursday. However, heavy rainfall is expected to continue, and catastrophic flash flooding is occurring on the island, especially in areas of mountainous terrain. Everyone in Puerto Rico should continue to follow advice from local officials to avoid these life-threatening flooding conditions. 2. A Hurricane Warning is in effect for the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the southeastern Bahamas, where Maria is expected to bring dangerous wind, storm surge, and heavy rainfall.

Hurricane Maria Public Advisory Number 20
2017-09-21 04:59:56| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM AST Wed Sep 20 2017 000 WTNT35 KNHC 210259 TCPAT5 BULLETIN Hurricane Maria Advisory Number 20 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152017 1100 PM AST Wed Sep 20 2017 ...HURRICANE MARIA MOVING AWAY FROM PUERTO RICO BUT TORRENTIAL RAINS CONTINUE... ...WEATHER CONDITIONS DETERIORATING OVER EASTERN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND WILL SOON IN THE TURK AND CAICOS ISLANDS... SUMMARY OF 1100 PM AST...0300 UTC...INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------- LOCATION...19.2N 67.9W ABOUT 55 MI...85 KM NE OF PUNTA CANA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ABOUT 260 MI...420 KM SE OF GRAND TURK ISLAND MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...110 MPH...175 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 310 DEGREES AT 9 MPH...15 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...959 MB...28.32 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY: The Hurricane Warning for Puerto Rico, Culebra, and Vieques has been discontinued. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Hurricane Warning is in effect for... * Dominican Republic from Cabo Engano to Puerto Plata * Turks and Caicos Islands and the Southeastern Bahamas A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Dominican Republic west of Puerto Plata to the northern border of the Dominican Republic and Haiti * Dominican Republic west of Cabo Engano to Punta Palenque A Hurricane Watch is in effect for... * Dominican Republic from Isla Saona to Cabo Engano A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case within the next 12 hours. Interests elsewhere in Hispaniola and the Bahamas should monitor the progress of Maria. For storm information specific to your area in the United States, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. For storm information specific to your area outside the United States, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the large eye of Hurricane Maria was located near latitude 19.2 North, longitude 67.9 West. Maria is moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this general motion with a decrease in forward speed is expected through Thursday night. A turn toward the north-northwest is forecast on Friday. On the forecast track, the core of Hurricane Maria will continue to move away from Puerto Rico during the next several hours, and then pass offshore of the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic early Thursday. Maria should then move near the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas Thursday night and Friday. Maximum sustained winds remain near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next day or two, and Maria could regain major hurricane status by Thursday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km). Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic recently reported a wind gust to 66 mph (106 km/h). The minimum central pressure estimated from reconnaissance aircraft data is 959 mb (28.32 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Strong gusty winds are still occurring over portions of Puerto Rico, but should continue to gradually subside. Tropical storm conditions are already spreading across the warning areas in the Dominican Republic, and hurricane conditions should start in the Hurricane Warning area soon. Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin in the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas on Thursday, with hurricane conditions starting Thursday night. STORM SURGE: Water levels in Puerto Rico should begin to recede in the next few hours. A dangerous storm surge accompanied by large and destructive waves will raise water levels by as much as 4 to 6 feet above normal tide levels in the hurricane warning area in the Dominican Republic, and 1 to 3 ft elsewhere along the northern coasts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. A dangerous storm surge accompanied by large and destructive waves will raise water levels by as much as 9 to 12 feet above normal tide levels within the hurricane warning area of the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands. RAINFALL: Maria is expected to produce the following rainfall totals through Saturday: Puerto Rico...20 to 30 inches, isolated 35 inches. U.S. and British Virgin Islands...additional 3 to 5 inches. Northern and eastern Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, and the Southeastern Bahamas...8 to 16 inches, isolated 20 inches. Northern Haiti...2 to 4 inches. Rainfall on these islands will continue to cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. SURF: Swells generated by Maria are still affecting the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. These swells are also affecting the northern coast of Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and should begin in the Southeastern Bahamas during the next day or two. These swells are likely to cause life- threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 AM AST. Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Avila
