for the north atlantic...caribbean sea and the gulf of mexico:

active systems:
the national hurricane center is issuing advisories on tropical 
storm philippe, located several hundred miles east of the northern 
leeward islands.

central tropical atlantic (al91):
showers and thunderstorms have changed little in organization in 
association with an area of low pressure located roughly halfway 
between the cabo verde islands and the lesser antilles. 
environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for 
development, as long as this system remains far enough removed from 
tropical storm philippe to its west. a tropical depression or storm 
is expected to form in the next day or so while the system moves 
northwestward across the central tropical atlantic. additional 
information on this system, including gale warnings, can be found in 
high seas forecasts issued by the national weather service. 
* formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Interests in the northern Leeward Islands, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico should monitor the progress of this system. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Philippe was located near latitude 18.8 North, longitude 54.6 West. Philippe is moving toward the west-northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h). A slow west-northwestward to westward motion is forecast during the next day or so, followed by a slower westward to west-southwestward motion by this weekend. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next day or so, with slow weakening forecast this weekend. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Philippe may produce 1 to 3 inches of rain across the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and portions of Puerto Rico this weekend and into early next week. Heavy rainfall from Philippe may produce isolated urban and small stream flooding impacts. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 1100 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Bucci ]]>

  • Tropical Storm Philippe Forecast Discussion Number 20
    Issued at 500 AM AST Thu Sep 28 2023 684 WTNT42 KNHC 280900 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Philippe Discussion Number 20 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL172023 500 AM AST Thu Sep 28 2023 Philippe remains a disorganized, sheared storm. Deep convection has continued through the night to the southeast of the estimated low-level center. Imagery from a 0525 UTC satellite microwave pass showed a decent curved band associated with this convection in the 89 GHz channel. Unfortunately, ASCAT missed the storm entirely. The initial intensity is held at 45 kt for this advisory, closest to the TAFB Dvorak estimate. There is still low confidence in Philippe's track forecast. As stated in previous advisories, the future location of the storm is closely linked to its structure and intensity. Should Philippe remain a weaker, shallower cyclone, it is more likely to follow the low-level westerly to southwesterly flow. This advisory favors that scenario and shows the storm slowly drifting generally westward to southwestward through day 4. By day 5, global models are suggesting a trough to the north will lift Philippe or its remnants northwestward. A complicating factor to this track forecast is the proximity of an area of disturbed weather to the east of the cyclone. Some models are still showing a binary interaction between the two systems, which will largely depend on the strength of each. Significant changes have been made to the most recent track forecast, that are largely related to a slower westward progression of Philippe. Still, this forecast is a blend of the previous advisory and the latest model guidance. Further adjustments may be required in subsequent advisories. Philippe is in an environment with moderate southwesterly vertical wind shear and lower, upshear, mid-level relative humidities. These conditions are likely to inhibit intensification in the near-term time frame. In about 48 h, global models predict the vertical wind shear to increase and likely cause Philippe to gradually weaken through the forecast period. However, there remains higher-than-average uncertainty in the intensity forecast. The latest NHC forecast still calls for Philippe to become a remnant low by day 4.

for the eastern north pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

southwestern east pacific:
a tropical wave continues to produce an area of disorganized showers 
and thunderstorms well southwest of the southern tip of the baja 
california peninsula. some development of this system remains 
possible over the next day or two while it moves generally westward 
at about 15 mph. by late friday, upper-level winds are forecast to 
become unfavorable for further development before the system moves 
into the central pacific basin.
* formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
