DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Oscar was located near latitude 21.3 North, longitude 71.6 West. Oscar is moving toward the west near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this motion with a gradual slowdown and turn to the west-southwest is forecast tonight into tomorrow. A sharp turn to the northeast is anticipated by late Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. A little more strengthening is possible tonight, but gradual weakening is expected to begin by Sunday night and Monday. Oscar is a very small hurricane, with hurricane-force winds only extending outward up to 5 miles (10 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extending outward up to 45 miles (75 km). A private weather station on South Caicos recently reported a sustained wind of 39 mph (63 km/h) and a gust of 54 mph (87 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure is 987 mb (29.15 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Oscar can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1 and WMO header WTNT41 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT1.shtml WIND: Hurricane conditions are likely occurring on parts of the Turks and Caicos Islands and are expected to spread over portions of the Southeastern Bahamas later tonight, with tropical storm conditions beginning shortly. Hurricane conditions are possible in the watch area of Cuba on Sunday night or early Monday. Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the coast within the warning area by Sunday afternoon, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area by Sunday night. RAINFALL: Through Tuesday, rainfall amounts of 4 to 6 inches with isolated amounts of 8 inches are expected across eastern Cuba. Across the Turks and Caicos and southeastern Bahamas, 2 to 4 inches are expected, with isolated amounts around 6 inches.

Hurricane Oscar Forecast Discussion Number 3

National Hurricane Center - Sat, 10/19/2024 - 3:49pm
Issued at 500 PM EDT Sat Oct 19 2024 000 WTNT41 KNHC 192048 TCDAT1 Hurricane Oscar Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL162024 500 PM EDT Sat Oct 19 2024 It is fair to say its been an unexpected day with regards to Oscar. After being upgraded to a tropical storm this morning, a resources-permitting Air Force Reconnaissance mission found that Oscar was much stronger than anticipated and in fact was a tiny hurricane, prompting the earlier special advisory at 18 UTC. Having these critical in-situ aircraft observations has been invaluable to diagnosing the current intensity of the storm, and we thank the crew for flying this mission on short notice this morning. It is worth noting that remote sensing satellite intensity estimates are currently much lower, with the highest objective estimate at 55 kt from a DMINT AMSR2 pass at 1830 UTC. For what its worth, ASCAT-B/C also hit the small core of Oscar, only showing a peak wind retrieval of 42 kt from both passes and only a handful of other retrievals with tropical-storm-force winds. The last Air Force Reconnaissance leg through Oscar found peak 700-mb flight level winds of 77 kt. A dropsonde released in the northeast eyewall also had a 150 m layer mean average wind of 85 kt with a surface wind gust of 82 kt. A blend of the flight level and dropsonde data supports a wind speed of 75 kt this advisory. The wind field of Oscar is very small, with hurricane-force winds only extending out 5 n mi from the center, with a blend of aircraft and scatterometer data suggesting tropical-storm-force winds only extending about 30 n mi, primarily in the northern semicircle. Oscar has maintained a westward motion today, with recon fixes indicating an estimated motion of 275/9 kt. This motion, with a subtle shift a little more south of due west is anticipated over the next 24-36 h. On the current track, Oscar will pass very near portions of the Turks and Caicos Islands and Southeastern Bahamas this evening and tonight, where a hurricane warning is in effect. The narrow mid-level ridge that is currently steering the system is soon expected to become eroded by a longwave trough slowly sagging southward across the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, resulting in Oscar slowing down and bending a bit south of due west. Thereafter, as the trough produces a more pronounced weakness north of the hurricane, Oscar will likely execute a very slow but sharp turn to the north and then northeast. However, this is still expected to bring Oscar close to or over parts of eastern Cuba, before turning back northeastward. The latest NHC forecast track is a little further east of the prior forecast, blending the consensus aids TVCA and HCCA with the ECMWF model, which has been one of the few models that has depicted Oscar with much vertical coherence. The intensity forecast for Oscar is tricky, due to both the very small inner-core wind field associated with the hurricane, and the fact that none of the guidance (either global models, or hurricane-regional models) is depicting the current intensity right now. The last set of aircraft observations suggest the pressure is at least not rapidly dropping, with the final dropsonde providing an estimate of 987 mb. The NHC intensity forecast will show a bit more intensification, but I suspect the tiny hurricane will be quite susceptible to the increasingly negative environmental conditions. SHIPS guidance indicates that northwesterly vertical wind shear increases above 20 kt after 24 h and above 30 kt beyond 60 h. Very dry mid-level air exists in that region upstream of Oscar, and the storm could weaken rather quickly from 36-60 h. As we saw today, small systems like Oscar are often prone to rapid intensity changes, either up or down. After 96 h, most of the guidance that is able to depict Oscar shows it ultimately being absorbed by the deep-layer trough in the northwestern Atlantic, and the latest forecast still shows Oscar dissipating by that time. Key Messages: 1. Oscar is expected to bring hurricane conditions to portions of the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas this evening and overnight, and could bring hurricane conditions to eastern Cuba during the next day or two. A Hurricane Warning is in effect for the Turks and Caicos and southeastern Bahamas, and a Hurricane Watch is in effect for portions of eastern Cuba. 2. Oscar is expected to produce a dangerous storm surge on the Turks and Caicos Islands beginning this evening. Minor coastal flooding is also possible along the north shore of Cuba later on Sunday. 3. Locally heavy rainfall is possible across the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas later today and tonight. These rains are expected to spread to eastern Cuba on Sunday.

Tropical Depression Nadine Forecast Discussion Number 5

National Hurricane Center - Sat, 10/19/2024 - 3:34pm
Issued at 400 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 192034 TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Nadine Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152024 400 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024 Nadine made landfall very near Belize City around 11 am CDT (1600 UTC) with peak winds of about 50 kt. Since that time, the storm has been moving across the northern portion of Belize and losing strength. The initial intensity is nudged down to 40 kt, with the strongest winds likely occurring over water and along the coast. Continued weakening is forecast as Nadine moves farther inland, and it will likely dissipate on Sunday. The storm has been accelerating westward, with the latest initial motion estimated to be 270/11 kt. A slightly faster westward or west-southwestward motion is expected until the system dissipates over southern Mexico. Key Messages: 1. Localized areas of flash flooding are possible along the track of Nadine across southern Mexico, northern Guatemala, and northern Belize. 2. Tropical storm conditions are expected along portions of the coasts of Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico within the warning area through this evening.

Hurricane Oscar Forecast Discussion Number 2

National Hurricane Center - Sat, 10/19/2024 - 12:55pm
Issued at 200 PM EDT Sat Oct 19 2024 000 WTNT41 KNHC 191755 TCDAT1 Hurricane Oscar Special Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL162024 200 PM EDT Sat Oct 19 2024 This is a special advisory to update the initial and forecast intensity for Oscar and current watches and warnings. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter mission is currently flying through the system, and in their second southwest-to-northeast leg found 700 mb flight level winds of 76 kt, and a minimum central pressure of 989 mb. The plane also reported a very small 3 n mi wide eye. A dropsonde recently launched in the northern quadrant also had a 150 m boundary layer mean wind of 80 kt. A blend of these data supports upgrading Oscar to a hurricane this advisory with maximum sustained winds of 70 kt. The intensity forecast has been updated accordingly, and is substantially higher than the previous one. Due to this unexpected higher intensity, the government of the Bahamas has issued a Hurricane Warning for the Turks and Caicos Islands and Southeastern Bahamas. The government of Cuba has also issued a Hurricane Watch for the same area currently under a Tropical Storm Warning. Key Messages: 1. Oscar is now expected to bring hurricane conditions to portions of the southeastern Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands, and eastern Cuba during the next day or so. A Hurricane Warning has now been issued for those locations. 2. Oscar is expected to produce a dangerous storm surge on the Turks and Caicos Islands beginning this evening. 3. Locally heavy rainfall is possible across the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas later today and tonight. These rains are expected to spread to eastern Cuba on Sunday.
