EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC: TD 11E(JAVIER). WARNING 11/FINAL ISSUED AT 04/10UTC. NHC COMMENTS.

000 WTPZ41 KNHC 040837 TCDEP1  Post-Tropical Cyclone Javier Discussion Number  11 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP112022 200 AM PDT Sun Sep 04 2022  There has been no significant deep convection associated with Javier for nearly 16 hours, and it's doubtful that any organized deep convection will attempt a comeback.  Accordingly, Javier has become a post-tropical remnant low and this will be the final NHC advisory on this system.  The initial intensity is lowered to 30 kt, which is in agreement with subjective satellite intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB.  The remnant low should  continue to gradually spin down over cooler sea surface  temperatures during the next several days, and the deterministic models indicate that the surface circulation will become a trough of low pressure toward the end of the week. The NHC intensity  forecast is similar to the previous one and is close to the  intensity model consensus.  The low continues to move away from the Baja California peninsula  and the initial motion estimate is 295/13 kt.  The cyclone should  turn westward soon in the low-level trade flow as a shallow remnant  low and maintain this general heading until it dissipates in 5 days.  This is the final NHC advisory on Javier.  For additional  information on the remnant low please see High Seas Forecasts  issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header  NFDHSFEPI, WMO header FZPN02 KWBC, and on the web at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFEPI.php   FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS  INIT  04/0900Z 27.2N 118.5W   30 KT  35 MPH...POST-TROPICAL  12H  04/1800Z 27.8N 120.5W   30 KT  35 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW  24H  05/0600Z 27.9N 123.1W   30 KT  35 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW  36H  05/1800Z 27.6N 125.8W   25 KT  30 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW  48H  06/0600Z 27.1N 128.0W   25 KT  30 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW  60H  06/1800Z 26.8N 130.0W   20 KT  25 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW  72H  07/0600Z 26.6N 131.6W   20 KT  25 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW  96H  08/0600Z 26.5N 133.7W   20 KT  25 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW 120H  09/0600Z...DISSIPATED  $$ Forecaster Roberts

000 WTNT45 KNHC 040838 TCDAT5  Hurricane Danielle Discussion Number  13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL052022 500 AM AST Sun Sep 04 2022  There has been little overall change in the satellite presentation  of Danielle overnight. Curved convective bands wrap around the  center, with a large ragged banded eye-like feature evident at  times.  There is a large range in the satellite intensity estimates  this morning with objective estimates much lower than the  subjective Dvorak T-numbers from TAFB and SAB.  Although the SAB  Dvorak estimate increased to T4.5 (77 kt) at 06Z, given the general  steady state of the system's organization since the previous  advisory, the initial intensity remains 65 kt, which is a blend of  the various estimates and is in agreement with the latest TAFB  Dvorak satellite classification.   Danielle is forecast to remain over SSTs of around 27C and in a low  shear environment during the next 24 to 36 hours.  As a result,  most of the intensity guidance calls for some intensification  during that time, and the NHC forecast follows suit.  After that  time, gradually decreasing sea surface temperatures along the  forecast track should cause slow weakening.  By days 4 and 5,  increasing shear and the system's transition into a post-tropical  cyclone are likely to cause additional weakening.  The NHC  intensity forecast is a blend of the IVCN and HFIP corrected  consensus models.   The hurricane has been meandering overnight but a slow northward  motion should begin this morning.  Danielle is forecast to  gradually accelerate to the northeast beginning on Monday as  deep-layer trough moves over eastern Canada.  By 72 hours, the  storm should turn east-northeastward within the mid-latitude  westerly flow.  The latest dynamical model guidance predicts a  slightly faster motion over much of the forecast period, and the  NHC forecast has been adjusted accordingly.  The new forecast is not  as fast as the TCVA consensus model, therefore future modifications  regarding the forward speed of the cyclone may be required.

000 WTNT41 KNHC 040835 TCDAT1  Tropical Storm Earl Discussion Number   6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL062022 500 AM AST Sun Sep 04 2022  Satellite imagery, surface observations, and WSR-88D radar data  from Puerto Rico indicate that Earl remains disorganized due to  ongoing southwesterly vertical wind shear, and that the center is  rather tricky to locate.  One vorticity center, associated with a  fresh convective burst, is located just north of the Virgin  Islands. However, TAFB and SAB fixed on another cloud area farther  north, while the radar data suggests another vorticity center in  the deep convection to the northeast of the Virgin Islands.  The  advisory position is a mean center between these features and is a  little north of the new burst.  The satellite intensity estimates  are unchanged from earlier, so the initial intensity remains 45 kt.  The storm has slowed its forward motion, which is now 285/7 kt.   The track guidance is in good agreement that a break will form in  the subtropical ridge as a mid- to upper-level trough develops to  the northwest of Earl beginning later today.  This should cause the  cyclone to turn northwestward during the next 12-24 h, with a  northward motion likely from 24-72 h and a north-northeastward  motion from 72-120 h.  The track models are in good agreement on  the general direction of motion.  However, while the GFS is slower  than its previous forecast it is still faster than the rest of the  guidance.  The new forecast track is nudged to the right of the  previous forecast based on the overall shift of the guidance  envelope.  During the first 72 h, it is in best agreement with the  GFS and UKMET ensemble means, and after that time it lies close to  the various consensus models.  The ongoing shear is expected to continue through at least the next  72 h, and thus only gradual strengthening is likely during this  time as Earl moves over warm sea surface temperatures in a moist  environment.  After that time, the cyclone could interact with the  aforementioned trough in such a way to leave Earl in a more  favorable environment for intensification, and the dynamical  models forecast significant strengthening toward the end of the  forecast period.  The new intensity forecast has only minor  adjustments from the previous forecast, and for the first 72 h it is  close to the bulk of the intensity guidance.  After it time, the  forecast is below that of most of the guidance due to the  uncertainty of how favorable the environment will be.  Tropical-storm-force winds are still forecast to remain on the northern and eastern side of the circulation, and are not expected to move across the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico.  However, gusty winds in squalls are possible at these locations through tonight.   KEY MESSAGES:  1.  Heavy rainfall from Earl is expected to lead to limited flash,  urban, and small stream flooding impacts over the Leeward Islands,  U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico today.  Rapid  rises on rivers and mudslides in areas of steep terrain are possible  in Puerto Rico.  2.  Earl is forecast to pass to the north of the the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico today, and gusty winds, especially in squalls,  area possible on those islands.

The track guidance is in good agreement that a break will form in the subtropical ridge as a mid- to upper-level trough develops to the northwest of Earl beginning later today. This should cause the cyclone to turn northwestward during the next 12-24 h, with a northward motion likely from 24-72 h and a north-northeastward motion from 72-120 h. The track models are in good agreement on the general direction of motion. However, while the GFS is slower than its previous forecast it is still faster than the rest of the guidance. The new forecast track is nudged to the right of the previous forecast based on the overall shift of the guidance envelope. During the first 72 h, it is in best agreement with the GFS and UKMET ensemble means, and after that time it lies close to the various consensus models. The ongoing shear is expected to continue through at least the next 72 h, and thus only gradual strengthening is likely during this time as Earl moves over warm sea surface temperatures in a moist environment. After that time, the cyclone could interact with the aforementioned trough in such a way to leave Earl in a more favorable environment for intensification, and the dynamical models forecast significant strengthening toward the end of the forecast period. The new intensity forecast has only minor adjustments from the previous forecast, and for the first 72 h it is close to the bulk of the intensity guidance. After it time, the forecast is below that of most of the guidance due to the uncertainty of how favorable the environment will be. Tropical-storm-force winds are still forecast to remain on the northern and eastern side of the circulation, and are not expected to move across the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico. However, gusty winds in squalls are possible at these locations through tonight. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Heavy rainfall from Earl is expected to lead to limited flash, urban, and small stream flooding impacts over the Leeward Islands, U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico today. Rapid rises on rivers and mudslides in areas of steep terrain are possible in Puerto Rico. 2. Earl is forecast to pass to the north of the the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico today, and gusty winds, especially in squalls, area possible on those islands.
