Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Sun Sep 29 2024

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Isaac, located several hundred miles northwest of the Azores, and
on Tropical Storm Joyce, located over the central Atlantic Ocean.

Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic (AL90):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an elongated area of low
pressure located a few hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo
Verde Islands have become better organized since yesterday.
Environmental conditions are conducive for gradual development of
this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the
early or middle part of this week while the system initially moves
westward and then northwestward across the eastern and central
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

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 meanders towards the west-northwest. This
system is then expected to move northwestward into the Gulf of
Mexico during the latter portion of this week, and interests in the
northwestern Caribbean Sea and along the U.S. Gulf Coast should
monitor its progress.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Eastern Atlantic:
A tropical wave located near the coast of western Africa is
currently producing limited shower activity. Some gradual
development of this system is possible during the next several days
while it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward over the
eastern Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

Hurricane Isaac Forecast Discussion Number 14

Sun, 09/29/2024 - 3:39am
Issued at 900 AM GMT Sun Sep 29 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 290839 TCDAT5 Hurricane Isaac Discussion Number 14 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL102024 900 AM GMT Sun Sep 29 2024 The strong deep-layer shear and sub-24C sea surface temperatures continue to disrupt Isaac's cloud pattern, although recent images show a small burst of deep convection developing near the surface center. The outer convective curve bands are diminishing and have dissipated in the east semicircle of the cyclone. Based on the latest Dvorak satellite intensity estimates and a UW-CIMSS SATCON analysis, the initial intensity is set at 70 kt. Decreasing oceanic surface temperatures and a sharp increase in west-southwesterly vertical shear support further weakening as an extratropical cyclone through day 5. Isaac could lose what remains of its organized deep convection later tonight and become a post-tropical cyclone, as suggested by the global model simulated/IR forecast. In any event, extratropical transition is anticipated by Monday evening due to baroclinic forcing from a middle-latitude trough and the proximity of a frontal boundary. Isaac's initial motion is estimated to be northeastward, or 045/11 kt as it continues to be steered by the mid-latitude southwesterly flow. A turn toward the north-northeast by the middle part of this week is forecast in response to a mid- to upper-level trough approaching the cyclone from the west-northwest. Around the 72 hr period, Isaac should turn northward while moving around the eastern periphery of a larger baroclinic low-pressure system. An adjustment slightly to the right of the previous track advisory is again needed beyond the 24 hr period to conform with the latest consensus guidance.

Tropical Storm Joyce Forecast Discussion Number 8

Sun, 09/29/2024 - 3:39am
Issued at 500 AM AST Sun Sep 29 2024 948 WTNT41 KNHC 290839 TCDAT1 Tropical Storm Joyce Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112024 500 AM AST Sun Sep 29 2024 Strong south-southwesterly vertical wind shear, associated with an upper-level trough over the central subtropical Atlantic, continues to impact the tropical storm. Although deep convection has been intermittently redeveloping near the center, the persistent shear is displacing this shower and thunderstorm activity to the north and northeast of the mostly exposed circulation center. The advisory intensity estimate is held at 40 kt, in agreement with the most recent scatterometer data. This is also supported by a blend of subjective and objective estimates. Center fixes indicate that the motion remains about the same, or at around 305/8 kt. An amplifying mid-level trough over the east-central Atlantic should cause Joyce to turn northward during the next day or so. If Joyce maintains some vertical depth in 2-3 days, it could accelerate north-northeastward ahead of the trough around that time. The official track forecast is the same as the previous NHC prediction and close to the model consensus. Over the next couple of days, Joyce is expected to remain in an environment of strong southwesterly to westerly vertical wind shear and an increasingly dry low- to mid-level air mass. Therefore, weakening is anticipated and the system will probably degenerate into a remnant low pressure area in 2-3 days. This is consistent with the global model predictions. The official intensity forecast is the same as the previous one.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Sun Sep 29 2024

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Isaac, located several hundred miles west-northwest of the Azores,
and on Tropical Storm Joyce, located over the central Atlantic
Ocean.

Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic (AL90):
An elongated area of low pressure located a few hundred miles
west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions
appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a
tropical depression will likely form during the early or middle part
of this week while the system moves toward the west and then
northwest across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

Western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
An area of low pressure is expected to form over the western
Caribbean Sea in a couple of days. Environmental conditions are
forecast to be conducive for gradual development thereafter, and a
tropical depression could form around the middle part of this
week. This system is expected to move northwestward into the Gulf
of Mexico during the latter portion of this week, and interests in
the northwestern Caribbean Sea and along the U.S. Gulf Coast should
monitor its progress.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Hurricane Isaac Forecast Discussion Number 13

Sat, 09/28/2024 - 9:34pm
Issued at 300 AM GMT Sun Sep 29 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 290234 TCDAT5 Hurricane Isaac Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL102024 300 AM GMT Sun Sep 29 2024 Isaac continues to weaken tonight. Southwesterly shear and intrusions of drier mid-level air have eroded convection over the southern portion of the hurricane, and there is no longer a coherent eye feature in satellite images. A partial scatterometer pass shows a frontal zone in close proximity to the east of Isaac, signaling extratropical transition could begin soon. A blend of the TAFB and SAB Dvorak Current Intensity estimates with objective UW-CIMSS estimates supports lowering the intensity to 70 kt. As Isaac moves deeper into the mid-latitudes, it will cross even cooler waters and encounter increasing deep-layer shear. Thus, continued weakening is likely, and Isaac is expected to lose tropical characteristics soon and complete extratropical transition by Monday while becoming entangled with a nearby frontal system. The updated NHC forecast shows a faster rate of weakening in the near term. The wind radii of Isaac are likely to become increasingly asymmetric as the cyclone takes on frontal characteristics. Isaac is moving northeastward at about 13 kt. This general motion should continue for the next couple of days while Isaac remains embedded in deep-layer southwesterly flow. The storm is forecast to turn more north-northeastward by midweek as an upper-level trough digs to the west of Isaac. There is more track spread in the guidance related to this interaction, and the extratropical portion of the NHC track forecast was adjusted slightly to the right of the previous prediction, following the latest multi-model consensus trends.

Tropical Storm Joyce Forecast Discussion Number 7

Sat, 09/28/2024 - 9:33pm
Issued at 1100 PM AST Sat Sep 28 2024 000 WTNT41 KNHC 290233 TCDAT1 Tropical Storm Joyce Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112024 1100 PM AST Sat Sep 28 2024 Joyce's low-level center remains exposed on the southwest side of bursting deep convection due to moderate-to-strong south-southwesterly shear. The initial intensity remains 40 kt based on a blend of subjective and objective intensity estimates, and a recent ASCAT-C pass. Deep-layer shear is expected to continue affecting Joyce during the next couple of days, turning more out of the southwest or west, while the storm also moves through a relatively dry air mass. As a result, continued gradual weakening is anticipated, with Joyce potentially becoming a tropical depression by early Monday and a remnant low by early Tuesday. The NHC intensity forecast follows a blend of the HCCA corrected-consensus and the GFS/ECMWF global models. The remnant low is forecast to degenerate into a trough by Wednesday. Joyce has turned northwestward (305 deg) at 8 kt. An amplifying deep-layer trough over the central Atlantic is expected to cause Joyce to turn northward and slow down during the next couple of days. Depending on how much of Joyce is left in 2-3 days, it could accelerate toward the north-northeast ahead of the trough. The NHC track forecast is close to the GFEX consensus aid, and it's a little faster than the previous prediction.
