500 AM AST Mon Sep 30 2024
Joyce's center is mostly exposed, with only a few cells of deep
convection forming intermittently within the circulation. Joyce
continues to experience strong southwesterly vertical wind shear
due to a large upper-level trough over the central Atlantic. The
current intensity is held at 30 kt which is similar to the objective
AIDT and DPRINT estimates from UW-CIMSS. This may be a generous
estimate, however, given the current appearance of the system.
The cyclone has not moved much with only a slightly south of
westward drift noted, and the current motion estimate is 260/2 kt.
It seems that the weakened system is now being steered primarily by
the low-level flow. Therefore the official track forecast is
slower than the previous predictions. This is similar to the
motion implied by the latest ECMWF forecast fields which show a
very weak system drifting generally northward for the next day or
two.
Given the lack of convection, the environment of dry air, and
the expectation of persistent shear, Joyce should soon degenerate
into a remnant low. The official intensity forecast is similar to
the previous one. The remnant cyclone should dissipate in 48-60
hours if not sooner.

Tropical Storm Isaac Discussion Number 18
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL102024
900 AM GMT Mon Sep 30 2024
Isaac continues to show signs of transitioning into an extratropical
cyclone. The central convection has mostly dissipated, and the
system is taking on more of a frontal appearance, with a
zonally-oriented cloud and rain shield over the cyclone's northern
semicircle. The current intensity is kept at 55 kt in accordance
with a Dvorak estimate from TAFB, although this is somewhat
uncertain since Isaac no longer appears to be a true tropical
cyclone.
The cyclone continues to move east-northeastward or at about 060/13
kt within a southern branch of the mid-latitude westerlies. Isaac
is expected to turn toward the northeast during the next couple
of days as it approaches a shortwave ridge just west of the
British Isles. The official track forecast has been nudged only
slightly eastward in the 2-3 day time frame, towards the latest
corrected dynamical model consensus.
Isaac is moving over cool waters and should complete its
extratropical transition today. The global models suggest that the
system will gradually weaken during the next few days as it becomes
absorbed within a larger low over the North Atlantic. The official
intensity forecast is similar to the previous NHC prediction.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Mon Sep 30 2024
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Isaac, located several hundred miles northwest of the Azores,
on Tropical Depression Joyce, located over the central Atlantic
Ocean, and on Tropical Depression Twelve, located over the eastern
tropical Atlantic Ocean.
Western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
A broad area of low pressure located over the western Caribbean Sea
is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental
conditions appear to be conducive for gradual development, and a
tropical depression could form around the middle part of this week
while the disturbance moves slowly west-northwestward. This system
is then expected to move northwestward into the Gulf of Mexico
during the latter portion of this week. Interests in the
northwestern Caribbean Sea and along the U.S. Gulf Coast should
monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave located a few hundred miles south-southeast of the
Cabo Verde Islands is producing limited shower and thunderstorm
activity. Upper-level winds are forecast to become more conducive
for gradual development of this system during the next few days, and
a tropical depression could form during the middle or latter part of
this week while it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward over
the eastern tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
&&
Public Advisories on Tropical Depression Twelve are issued under
WMO header WTNT32 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCPAT2.
Forecast/Advisories on Tropical Depression Twelve are issued under

Isaac's expected transition to an extratropical cyclone continues.
The tropical storm's cloud pattern has become asymmetrical, with
cold clouds limited mostly to the north of the surface center, and
it is beginning to take the form of an extratropical rain shield.
Partial ASCAT data indicated maximum winds of 45-50 kt, supporting
an intensity of 55 kt after accounting for undersampling. This also
agrees with the most recent tropical Dvorak analysis from TAFB.
The tropical storm should become fully extratropical later today.
Models unanimously indicated that Isaac will continue to gradually
spin down as a post-tropical low during the next several days. By
96 h, the center of Isaac is expected to become poorly-defined as
it interacts with another large non-tropical low pressure system
over the north Atlantic.
Models are in reasonably good agreement for Isaac's track forecast.
It should stay on a generally northeastward track for the next day
or so. Beyond that time, there is some disagreement on exactly how
soon Isaac's post-tropical remnants will turn north-northeastward,
however all of the guidance shows the same generally idea that Isaac
will turn toward a broad trough over the north Atlantic. No
significant changes were made to the NHC forecast, which is based on
the IVCN consensus for intensity and the TVCN consensus for the
track.

Tropical Depression Twelve Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122024
1100 PM AST Sun Sep 29 2024
The depression is gradually becoming better organized while
continuing to produce a large area of deep convection. Recent
scatterometer winds indicate the center of the system lies on the
northern side of the convective cloud mass, with 25-30 kt winds
noted within the eastern semicircle of the circulation and weaker
winds on the west side. Based on the scatterometer data, the system
remains a 30-kt depression for this advisory.
The depression is moving westward at about 6 kt, to the south of an
established subtropical ridge over the eastern Atlantic. This
feature should keep the tropical cyclone on a westward to
west-northwestward heading during the next couple of days. Then, a
northwestward turn is forecast later this week as a deep-layer
trough over the north-central Atlantic weakens the ridge. This
recurvature over open waters is supported by the latest track
guidance and global model ensembles, and the updated NHC track
forecast is essentially an update of the previous one with no
notable changes.
Intensification is expected due to very favorable environmental and
oceanic conditions. The tropical cyclone will move over SSTs warmer
than 29C during the next several days, within a moist and unstable
environment with weak deep-layer shear. Once the system becomes more
consolidated and establishes an inner core, its rate of
strengthening is likely to increase. The latest NHC intensity
forecast closely follows the HCCA and IVCN multi-model consensus
aids, which brings the system to hurricane strength in 48 h and
major hurricane intensity by day 5. In addition, the system is
forecast to become a large hurricane, with an expanding wind and
wave field as it gains latitude later in the period.

At 300 AM GMT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Isaac was
located near latitude 44.4 North, longitude 32.8 West. Isaac is
moving toward the northeast near 14 mph (22 km/h). A turn toward
the north-northeast at a similar forward speed is expected on
Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts. Slow weakening is expected during the next several days.
Isaac is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone later today.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 975 mb (28.80 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Isaac and an upstream deep-layer trough
will affect the Azores over the next few days. These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Please consult products from your local weather office.
