DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 300 AM GMT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Isaac was located near latitude 38.2 North, longitude 43.4 West. Isaac is moving toward the east-northeast near 16 mph (26 km/h). A gradual turn to the northeast is expected with a slight decrease in forward speed over the next day or so. The northeastward motion should then continue through Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected through Saturday morning, followed by gradual weakening through early next week. Isaac is expected to be a post-tropical cyclone on Monday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 973 mb (28.74 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Isaac and a large wind fetch from a deep-layer trough could spread into the Azores this weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

Tropical Storm Joyce Forecast Discussion Number 3

Fri, 09/27/2024 - 9:33pm
Issued at 1100 PM AST Fri Sep 27 2024 000 WTNT41 KNHC 280233 TCDAT1 Tropical Storm Joyce Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112024 1100 PM AST Fri Sep 27 2024 Recent microwave imagery, including an 0022 UTC ASCAT-B pass, indicates that Joyce's circulation is tilted with height, with a mid-level center feature displaced about 40 nm north of the low-level center. The scatterometer data also indicated that Joyce still has maximum winds of 45 kt, which is also supported by the latest TAFB and SAB Dvorak fixes. Joyce is moving toward the west-northwest (300/10 kt) to the south of a narrow subtropical ridge. Deep-layer troughing is forecast to amplify over the central Atlantic during the next few days, eroding the ridge and causing Joyce to gradually turn toward the northwest and north and slow down to a crawl by this time on Monday. Because several of the regional hurricane models appear to keep Joyce too strong in the coming days (more on that below) and show recurvature with acceleration, the NHC track forecast more closely follows the global models and is a blend of the previous forecast with the GFEX consensus. UW-CIMSS analyses and SHIPS diagnostics indicate that Joyce is being affected by moderate-to-strong southerly shear, which is reflected by the satellite presentation. This shear is not expected to abate during the next few days, and the storm will also be moving into a gradually drier and subsident environment. Therefore, the NHC intensity forecast calls for little change in strength during the next 24 hours, followed by gradual weakening thereafter. Joyce is likely to lose its organized convection and become a remnant low by day 3, if not sooner. The remnant low should degenerate into a trough by day 4 or 5 and will likely be absorbed by a larger weather system moving across the eastern Atlantic.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Fri Sep 27 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 over the central Subtropical Atlantic Ocean, and on
Tropical Storm Joyce, located over the central Tropical Atlantic
Ocean. The Weather Prediction Center is issuing advisories on
Post-Tropical Cyclone Helene, located inland over the Ohio River
Valley.

Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic:
A broad and elongated area of low pressure, associated with a
tropical wave, is producing limited shower activity near and to the
west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical
depression could form next week while moving toward the west and
then northwest at about 10 mph across the eastern and central
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
An area of low pressure could form over the western Caribbean Sea by
the middle of next week. Environmental conditions are expected to
be conducive for slow development thereafter while the system moves
generally northwestward, likely entering the Gulf of Mexico by the
end of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

&&
Public Advisories on Tropical Storm Joyce are issued under WMO
header WTNT31 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCPAT1.
Forecast/Advisories on Tropical Storm Joyce are issued under WMO

Tropical Storm Joyce Forecast Discussion Number 2

Fri, 09/27/2024 - 3:35pm
Issued at 500 PM AST Fri Sep 27 2024 368 WTNT41 KNHC 272035 TCDAT1 Tropical Storm Joyce Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112024 500 PM AST Fri Sep 27 2024 Deep convection has increased and become more concentrated near the center of Joyce this afternoon. A cold dense overcast has developed and expanded over the low-level center of the tropical cyclone. As a result, the latest satellite intensity estimates have risen, and the initial intensity is brought up to 45 kt. This is consistent with a T3.0/45-kt Dvorak classification from TAFB, as well as a blend of recent UW-CIMSS objective estimates that range from 36-52 kt. Additional near-term strengthening is possible while Joyce remains in an environment of strong upper-level divergence and moderate shear over warm SSTs. However, the storm is forecast to encounter increasing shear and a progressively drier mid-level environment during the next couple of days, which should induce a weakening trend later this weekend and into early next week. The updated NHC intensity forecast peaks at 55 kt in 12 h, with gradual weakening shown thereafter based on the less favorable environmental conditions that are anticipated. Simulated satellite imagery from the latest ECMWF run shows Joyce maintaining organized convection through Monday, but the GFS suggests it could degenerate to a remnant low even sooner. This forecast shows Joyce degenerating into a post-tropical remnant low in 72 h and dissipating by day 5, but future timing changes may be necessary. The storm continues to move northwestward (305/11 kt) around the southwestern periphery of a low- to mid-level ridge over the eastern Atlantic. A slight turn toward the west-northwest is expected during the next day or two, along with a slower forward speed as the steering currents weaken. There is more spread in the track guidance thereafter, with some model disagreement about whether and how quickly the storm turns northward ahead of an upper trough over the central Atlantic. For now, the NHC track forecast is shifted slightly to the left and is a bit slower between 48-72 h, following the latest HCCA and and TVCA trends.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Helene Forecast Discussion Number 18

Fri, 09/27/2024 - 3:35pm
Issued at 400 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2024 367 WTNT44 KNHC 272035 TCDAT4 Post-Tropical Cyclone Helene Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092024 400 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2024 Helene has been producing catastrophic flooding over portions of the southeast U.S. and southern Appalachians, and the associated heavy rains are shifting westward into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Satellite images and surface observations indicate that Helene has completed extratropical transition, and the initial intensity is set at 30 kt. The cyclone is moving to the north-northwest at 15 kt. A slowdown is expected tonight, and the cyclone is forecast to stall over the Tennessee Valley this weekend, likely resulting in continued and prolonged rainfall. This is the last tropical cyclone discussion issued by the National Hurricane Center on Helene. Future information on this system can be found in discussions issued by the Weather Prediction Center beginning at 1000 PM CDT, under AWIPS header TCDAT4, WMO header WTNT44 KWNH, and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov. Rainfall forecasts for the United States can always be found at https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/qpf2.shtml and outlooks of flash flood risks can be found at https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/excessive_rainfall_outlook_ero.php . KEY MESSAGES: 1. Historic, catastrophic and life-threatening flash and urban flooding, including numerous major landslides, will continue across portions of the southern Appalachians through this evening, followed by gradual improvement tonight and into Saturday. Widespread serious river flooding is ongoing, some of which will be major to record breaking. 2. There is a possibility of long-duration power outages in portions of the southeast U.S. If you use a generator, be sure it is placed outside at least 20 feet away from doors, windows, and garages to avoid deadly carbon monoxide poisoning. 3. Use caution after the system passes as deadly hazards remain including downed power lines and flooded areas.
