Geostationary satellite imagery has shown an eye clearing and Dvorak estimates are rising as quickly as they are allowed. The initial intensity is set to a possibly conservative 105 kt, closest to the final-T number (T5.5) from TAFB. The intensity forecast has been increased between 12 through 48 h. No changes were made to the intensity forecast beyond 60 h, or the track and wind radii predictions. The next forecast will be released at the normally scheduled time (11 PM AST).

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Kirk, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean, and on
Tropical Depression Thirteen, located over the eastern tropical
Atlantic Ocean.

Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over portions of the
northwestern Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico are associated
with a trough of low pressure. Environmental conditions could
support some gradual development of this system over the Gulf of
Mexico this weekend while the system drifts eastward. Regardless of
development, locally heavy rains could occur over portions of Mexico
during the next few days and over portions of the Florida Peninsula
by the weekend.

Hurricane Kirk Forecast Discussion Number 13

Wed, 10/02/2024 - 3:45pm
Issued at 500 PM AST Wed Oct 02 2024 000 WTNT42 KNHC 022045 TCDAT2 Hurricane Kirk Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122024 500 PM AST Wed Oct 02 2024 This afternoon, Kirk has the appearance of an intensifying hurricane. While the eye still remains obscured on visible satellite imagery, an earlier AMSR2 microwave pass at 1604 UTC showed the inner-core continues to improve, with a notable cyan ring on the 37 GHz channel. This signal is often a harbinger of more substantial intensification. While the subjective Dvorak estimates remain unchanged from this morning, the improvement of the storm structure on microwave imagery suggests intensification has continued, and the initial intensity is set at 80 kt for this advisory. The hurricane has maintained its motion throughout the day, still northwestward at 310/10 kt. There is not a lot of new information to report about the track philosophy, with Kirk expected to round the western edge of the subtropical ridge that has been its primary steering mechanism over the last few days. This ridge is forecast to become eroded by a deep-layer trough approaching from the west, and Kirk will ultimately track in between these two features, beginning to accelerate as the tropical cyclone recurves into the higher latitudes. The track guidance remains in good agreement with lower-than-average spread on the forecast track, and the NHC track is very similar to the prior advisory and is quite close to both the ECMWF, GFS, and consensus aid track solutions. All systems appear go for Kirk to intensify significantly over the next couple of days, and the NHC intensity forecast shows the hurricane intensifying to a Category 4 hurricane in 48 h, in good agreement with the hurricane-regional model guidance. Thereafter, inner-core fluctuations plus increasing southwesterly shear from the upper-level trough to its west is expected to cause gradual weakening, as shown in the NHC forecast after that time. Kirk is also expected to continue growing in size through the forecast period. By the end of the forecast, Kirk should begin extratropical transition in the high-latitudes, likely to be completed just beyond day 5.

Tropical Depression Thirteen Forecast Discussion Number 2

Wed, 10/02/2024 - 3:42pm
Issued at 800 PM CVT Wed Oct 02 2024 000 WTNT43 KNHC 022041 TCDAT3 Tropical Depression Thirteen Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132024 800 PM CVT Wed Oct 02 2024 Tropical Depression Thirteen has become a little better organized since the last advisory, with improving circulation definition and convection continuing to curve cyclonically in a banded fashion on its western side. However, Dvorak intensity estimates have not changed much this afternoon, still at T2.5/35-kt from TAFB and T1.5/25-kt from SAB, so the initial intensity will remain 30 kt. The depression appears to be moving just south of due west following along from previous fixes with a current estimated motion at 260/7 kt. This motion has resulted in a slight southward track shift from the previous forecast but remains close to the consensus aid TVCN. This motion should continue over the next day or so guided by a steering ridge to the north and enhanced convection along the southern semicircle potentially pulling it southward as the depression organizes. Track guidance then shows TD13 turning west-northwestward after 48 hours and ultimately northwestward towards the end of the forecast period as the ridge steering becomes more eroded on its western side. The track guidance was very similar to the previous cycle, albeit a touch further south in 5 days, and the latest NHC track has been nudged a bit further south towards the end of the forecast. The forecast for this cycle shows a somewhat faster intensification rate than the prior advisory, with the system now becoming a hurricane in 48 hours, and peaking at 80 kt in 72 hours, due to decreasing shear and plenty of warm ocean waters and moisture early on in the forecast. The intensity guidance then proceeds to show the intensity plateauing after 72 hours as the system could encounter the edge of Hurricane Kirk's large area of ocean upwelling. Both HAFS-A/B show this potentially limiting the intensity in the longer term, but the NHC intensity forecast could be conservative if TD13 ends up tracking further south than forecasted.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Wed Oct 2 2024

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Kirk, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean, and on
newly-developed Tropical Depression Thirteen, located over the
eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean.

Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
A broad trough of low pressure is producing disorganized areas of
showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and
the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions could
support some gradual development of this system, and a tropical
depression could form over the weekend as the broader disturbance
moves fully into the Gulf of Mexico. Interests along the U.S. Gulf
Coast should continue to monitor the progress of this system.
Regardless of development, locally heavy rains could occur over
portions of Mexico during the next several days and over portions
of the Florida Peninsula by the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

&&
Public Advisories on Tropical Depression Thirteen are issued under
WMO header WTNT33 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCPAT3.
Forecast/Advisories on Tropical Depression Thirteen are issued under
WMO header WTNT23 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCMAT3.
