U.S. Olympic officials say they will appeal a court ruling that resulted in American gymnast Jordan Chiles being asked to return the bronze medal she won in the Paris Olympics floor exercise.

The countdown is on for the city, which will host the next Summer Games and is working on transit upgrades to accommodate hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Issued at 500 PM AST Sun Aug 11 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 112049 TCDAT5 Potential Tropical Cyclone Five Discussion Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024 500 PM AST Sun Aug 11 2024 NHC has been monitoring the a broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave over the tropical Atlantic during the past several days. Satellite images and earlier ASCAT data indicate that the low has a broad circulation, but there is no evidence of a well-defined center yet. The associated shower and thunderstorm activity is showing some signs of organization, but visible satellite imagery suggests that dry air is entraining into the circulation. However, since the disturbance is forecast to become a tropical storm in the next day or so, and there is a risk of tropical-storm-force winds across portions of the Leeward Islands during that time, advisories are being initiated on Potential Tropical Cyclone Five. The NOAA and Air Force Hurricane Hunters will be investigating this system on Monday. The estimated motion of Potential Tropical Cyclone Five is 285/18-kt. The track guidance is in fairly good agreement on a fast west-northwestward motion through the next 36-48 h. This motion should bring the system near or over the Leeward Islands on Tuesday. Thereafter, a deep-layer trough moving off the U.S. East Coast should approach this system, inducing a turn to the northwest by Wednesday and to the north thereafter. This should bring the system in the general vicinity of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico Tuesday night, then emerging into the Atlantic north of Puerto Rico on Wednesday. The NHC track forecast is based on a blend of the latest GFS and ECMWF models. Users should keep in mind that the track forecasts for potential tropical cyclones are inherently more uncertain than normal since the system lacks a well–defined center. Potential Tropical Cyclone Five is currently located in an environment of moderate easterly vertical wind shear. Over the next day or two, the wind shear is forecast to decrease some while the disturbance moves into an increasingly unstable environment. Given the current organizational state of the convection and low-level wind structure, the system likely needs at least one more day before it can organize into a tropical cyclone. Around the time the system reaches the Leeward Islands, it will be moving into an increasingly conducive environment for strengthening. Therefore, once the system is able to develop an inner core it should have an opportunity to strengthen at a faster rate. The favorable environment will likely continue in the 3 to 5-day time frame, and this system is forecast to be a strengthening hurricane when it is moving northward over the western Atlantic. The NHC intensity forecast is slightly below the intensity consensus in the short term, but falls in line with the consensus aids beyond a couple of days. Key Messages: 1. The disturbance is expected to become a tropical storm before reaching the Leeward Islands, where Tropical Storm Watches are in effect. Tropical storm conditions could begin on Tuesday for portions of the area. 2. Heavy rainfall may result in locally considerable flash flooding and mudslides in portions of the northern Leeward Islands Tuesday and Wednesday, and into Puerto Rico Wednesday through Thursday. 3. Additional watches or warnings will likely be required for the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico tonight or early Monday, and interests in these locations should monitor the progress of this system.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * Guadeloupe * St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Antigua, Barbuda, and Anguilla * Saba and St. Eustatius * St. Martin * Sint Maarten A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours. Interests elsewhere in the Leeward Islands, British and U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico should monitor the progress of Potential Tropical Cyclone Five. Additional watches could be required tonight or early Monday. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the disturbance was centered near latitude 13.6 North, longitude 48.0 West. The system is moving toward the west-northwest near 21 mph (33 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the disturbance is expected to move across portions of the Leeward Islands on Tuesday and approach the U.S. and British Virgin Islands Tuesday night.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Potential Tropical Cyclone Five can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml. RAINFALL: Potential Tropical Cyclone Five is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 4 to 6 inches over the northern Leeward Islands. For Puerto Rico, 3 to 6 inches of rainfall, with maximum amounts of 10 inches, is expected. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Potential Tropical Cyclone Five, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?rainqpf Elsewhere in the Caribbean, Potential Tropical Cyclone Five is expected to produce the following rain accumulations through Friday morning: Windward Islands… 1 to 2 inches Southern Leeward Islands… 2 to 4 inches Eastern Hispaniola… 2 to 4 inches. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area beginning Tuesday. SURF: Swells generated by the system will likely begin to affect portions of the Leeward Islands beginning Monday night.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sun Aug 11 2024

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

Near the Lesser and Greater Antilles (AL98):
Showers and thunderstorms continue to show some signs of
organization in association with a broad area of low pressure
located a little less than 1000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of
this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form within the
next day or two while the system approaches and then moves near or
over the Leeward Islands. Interests on these islands should
continue to monitor the progress of this system, and watches will
likely be required for portions of the area as soon as this
afternoon. The system could approach portions of the Greater
Antilles by the middle of the week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
