EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC: TS 11E(JAVIER). WARNING 7 ISSUED AT 03/10UTC. NHC COMMENTS.

WTPZ41 KNHC 030852 TCDEP1  Tropical Storm Javier Discussion Number   7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP112022 300 AM MDT Sat Sep 03 2022  This morning's satellite presentation consists of a recent deep convective burst with -78C cloud tops just to the west of the surface circulation center.  A 0116 UTC SSMI/S microwave image showed a primary curved band wrapping around 65 percent of the cyclone's surface center.  Based on a compromise of the latest subjective Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB, a 0428 UTC SATCON  analysis of 49 kt, and a recent ASCAT-B scatterometer pass  revealing a few peak-wind retrievals of 39 kt (undersampling  likely), the initial intensity is held at 45 kt for this advisory.    There's a small window of opportunity that Javier could strengthen  slightly today before it moves over a gradient of progressively  cooler waters of less than 24C this evening.  This negatively  contributing oceanic parameter, along with an increasingly stable  surrounding environment should cause Javier to become a  post-tropical cyclone Sunday, and a remnant low-pressure system by  early next week.  Javier's initial motion is estimated to be northwestward, or 320/13  kt.  This general motion should continue through today in response  to the mid-level steering flow produced by a mid-tropospheric ridge  anchored over the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico.  By early  Sunday, the global models are in good agreement that this ridge  should build westward and influence Javier to slowly turn toward  the west-northwest to west while the cyclone weakens.  The NHC  forecast follows suit and lies close to the TVCE and NOAA HFIP HCCA  consensus aids.  Javier's wind radii have been adjusted for this advisory using a fortuitous 0430 UTC METOP-B ASCAT overpass.  Although the NHC forecast wind radii do not explicitly reach the coast of Mexico, any additional eastward deviation from the official track forecast could result in tropical-storm-force winds reaching portions of Baja California Sur where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect.   KEY MESSAGES:  1. Although the center is expected to stay offshore, heavy rainfall  from Tropical Storm Javier could lead to localized flash flooding in  Baja California Sur.  2. Tropical storm conditions are possible across portions of Baja California Sur through today. A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect.

NORTH ATLANTIC: TS 05L(DANIELLE).WARNING 9 ISSUED AT 03/09UTC. NHC COMMENTS.

000 WTNT45 KNHC 030852 TCDAT5  Tropical Storm Danielle Discussion Number   9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL052022 900 AM GMT Sat Sep 03 2022  Convection associated with Danielle has continued to decrease this  morning, with a corresponding decrease in satellite intensity  estimates.  Based on this decrease, it is estimated that Danielle  has weakened to a tropical storm with an initial intensity of 60 kt.  While it is not known why the storm has weakened, one possibility  is that the slow motion has allowed the cyclone to upwell cold  water underneath it.   Danielle is essentially stationary with a 12-h motion of 270/1 kt.   The cyclone is still caught south of a blocking high over the North  Atlantic.  This pattern is expected to hold firm for a couple of  days, with the system forecast to drift westward and then drift  northward.  After 48-60 h, the block will weaken and allow the  southern edge of the mid-latitude westerlies to steer Danielle  generally northeastward at a faster forward speed.  There are no  significant changes to the forecast track for the first 48-60 h.   After that, the forecast has been nudged eastward due to a shift  in the guidance envelope.  The intensity guidance is still calling for Danielle to strengthen  for 72 h or so.  Given the possibility of upwelling and the  forecast continued slow motion, the guidance might be a bit  optimistic on that.  The new intensity forecast calls for little  change in strength for 12 h or so, followed by slow strengthening  on the premise that the storm will move over somewhat warmer water.  After 72 h, the storm is likely to interact with an upper-level  trough, which could help maintain the intensity even as Danielle  moves toward much colder water in the North Atlantic.  This trough  will also start extratropical transition, although this will  likely not be complete by 120 h.

NORTH ATLANTIC: TS 06L(EARL). WARNING 2 ISSUED AT 03/09UTC. NHC COMMENTS.

000 WTNT41 KNHC 030842 TCDAT1  Tropical Storm Earl Discussion Number   2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL062022 500 AM AST Sat Sep 03 2022  Satellite imagery and radar data from Guadeloupe show that Earl  remains a sheared tropical cyclone, with the low-level center  located to the west of the main convective mass. Various satellite  intensity estimates are in the 25-45 kt range and have changed  little since the last advisory.  Based on this, the initial  intensity remains 35 kt.  A NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft will  investigate Earl starting near 1000 UTC.  The initial motion is 285/11.  The track guidance remains in good  agreement that Earl should move west-northwestward and  northwestward with a decrease in forward speed for the next couple  of days as it is steered by the subtropical ridge. There is little  change in this part of the forecast track from the previous  advisory.  After that time, a slower motion toward the north and  eventually north-northeast is expected as a mid- to upper-level  trough develops over the Atlantic to the west and north of Earl.   The guidance envelope for the latter part of the forecast track has  shifted eastward, and while the new forecast track is also nudged  eastward it is west of the consensus models from 60-120 h.  Earl is feeling the effects of moderate westerly shear, and current  indications are this will continue for the next 48 h or so.  Thus,  the intensity forecast calls for modest strengthening during this  time.  The intensity forecast becomes more uncertain as Earl turns  northward.  While some shear is likely to continue, the dynamical  models are in good agreement that the cyclone will strengthen,  possibly due to a favorable interaction to the aforementioned  upper-level trough.  However, there is poor agreement between the  models in the details of this interaction.  Given that, the  intensity forecast from 72-120 h will show a little more  strengthening than the previous forecast.  However, the forecast  intensities are on the low side of the guidance envelope.  Tropical-storm-force winds are forecast to remain on the northern and eastern side of the circulation, and as a result, are not expected to move across the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico.  However, any southward shift of Earl's center would increase the risk of tropical-storm-force winds in those areas.   KEY MESSAGES:  1.  Tropical Storm Earl is forecast to pass near or just to the north of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico over the weekend.  Gusty winds, especially in squalls, area possible on those islands over the next day or two.  2.  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 this weekend.    Rapid rises on rivers are possible in Puerto Rico.

There is little change in this part of the forecast track from the previous advisory. After that time, a slower motion toward the north and eventually north-northeast is expected as a mid- to upper-level trough develops over the Atlantic to the west and north of Earl. The guidance envelope for the latter part of the forecast track has shifted eastward, and while the new forecast track is also nudged eastward it is west of the consensus models from 60-120 h. Earl is feeling the effects of moderate westerly shear, and current indications are this will continue for the next 48 h or so. Thus, the intensity forecast calls for modest strengthening during this time. The intensity forecast becomes more uncertain as Earl turns northward. While some shear is likely to continue, the dynamical models are in good agreement that the cyclone will strengthen, possibly due to a favorable interaction to the aforementioned upper-level trough. However, there is poor agreement between the models in the details of this interaction. Given that, the intensity forecast from 72-120 h will show a little more strengthening than the previous forecast. However, the forecast intensities are on the low side of the guidance envelope. Tropical-storm-force winds are forecast to remain on the northern and eastern side of the circulation, and as a result, are not expected to move across the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico. However, any southward shift of Earl's center would increase the risk of tropical-storm-force winds in those areas. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Tropical Storm Earl is forecast to pass near or just to the north of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico over the weekend. Gusty winds, especially in squalls, area possible on those islands over the next day or two. 2. 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 this weekend. Rapid rises on rivers are possible in Puerto Rico.
