For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Storm Gordon, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean. The
Weather Prediction Center is issuing advisories on Post-Tropical
Cyclone Francine, located inland over northeastern Arkansas.
Offshore the Southeastern U.S.:
A non-tropical area of low pressure could form this weekend along a
frontal boundary and gradually acquire subtropical or tropical
characteristics a few hundred miles off the southeastern U.S.
coastline. Thereafter, a subtropical or tropical depression could
form early next week while the system moves generally northwestward
toward the coast. Additional information on this system can be

Tropical Storm Gordon Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072024
500 PM AST Fri Sep 13 2024
Gordon continues to produce a convective canopy of cold cloud
tops near -75 C mainly to the east of the center, due to some
moderate westerly wind shear. An earlier AMSR2 microwave pass
depicted some banding features forming as well. Subjective and
objective Dvorak satellite intensity estimates have remained steady
around 35 kt. Thus, the intensity remains 35 kt for this advisory.
The tropical storm continues to deal with some westerly wind shear
and has about 18 hours before encountering a drier airmass across
the central tropical Atlantic. So the current forecast shows the
potential for some slight strengthening before the unfavorable
airmass. Models depict that the cyclones wind field will weaken and
the system is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression. Simulated
satellite depicts that the cyclone will struggle convectively
through the middle part of the period and there is a chance that
Gordon could degenerate into a remnant low. For now, the official
forecast keeps the system as a tropical cyclone for the entire
forecast period. Some recovery is possible by days 4 and 5 when the
system reaches a slightly more moist, unstable and low-shear
environment.
Gordon is moving slightly slower toward the west-northwest at 290/9
kt. The system is approaching a weakness in the subtropical ridge
which will cause the system to slow its forward speed and turn more
westward by tonight. This slow westward to west-southwestward motion
will continue through much of the forecast period. An amplified
trough is forecast to move to the north of Gordon towards the end of
the period which could cause a turn toward the northwest and
northward by the end of the period. However, there is quite a spread
in the model guidance towards the end of the period due to the
differences in intensity and if Gordon is able to regain strength
toward the end of the period. The latest NHC forecast track is
slightly to the left of the previous and near the simple consensus
aids.

recently-upgraded Tropical Storm Gordon, located over the central
tropical Atlantic Ocean. The Weather Prediction Center is issuing
advisories on Post-Tropical Cyclone Francine, located inland over
northeastern Arkansas.
Offshore the Southeastern U.S.:
A non-tropical area of low pressure could form along a frontal
boundary a few hundred miles off the southeastern U.S. coastline
this weekend. Thereafter, the low may develop some subtropical or
tropical characteristics, and a subtropical or tropical depression
could form early next week while the system moves generally
northwestward toward the coast. Additional information on this

* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
Northern Leeward Islands (AL94):
An area of low pressure near the Northern Leeward Islands is
producing limited shower and thunderstorm activity. Environmental
conditions, including the proximity of dry air, do not favor
development of this system and development is no longer expected
while it moves west-northwestward at about 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.

Tropical Storm Gordon Discussion Number 9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072024
Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
1100 AM AST Fri Sep 13 2024
While some west-northwesterly shear exists over the cyclone,
a combination of Dvorak satellite estimates and improved structure
on satellite imagery since earlier this morning has led to the
depression being upgraded to Tropical Storm Gordon. The initial
wind speed is set to 35 kt, based on consensus Dvorak estimates
around that value.
The initial motion is a little slower toward the west-northwest
(295/10 kt). While a weakness in the subtropical ridge to the
north of Gordon is becoming more pronounced due to the possible
retrogression of an upper low to its east-northeast, this appears to
be only slowing the storm down. The track guidance indicates that
the cyclone should turn westward by tonight and move slowly
throughout much of the forecast period. By days 4 and 5, an
amplifying shortwave trough to the north could cause Gordon to
gradually turn northwestward, assuming the system can re-intensify.
The official forecast is close to the previous prediction during the
first 60 hours, but then is adjusted westward on days 3 through 5
following the latest model trends.
Gordon has some chance to intensify today before moving deeper into
the moisture-starved environment across the tropical Atlantic, and
some weakening is anticipated this weekend. While the shear isn't
expected to be too hostile, any re-intensification during next week
is expected to be slow, and there is a chance that Gordon could
degenerate into a remnant low. For now, the official forecast keeps
the system as a tropical cyclone for the entire forecast period.
Some recovery is possible by days 4 and 5 when the system reaches a
slightly more moist, unstable and low-shear environment.
