Post-Tropical Cyclone Arthur Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
1100 AM AST Tue May 19 2020

Arthur has transitioned into an extratropical low this morning with
a warm front extending northeastward from the circulation, any deep
convection only along the front, and lots of more stable cumulus
clouds near the center. Thus this is the last advisory. The
initial intensity remains 50 kt based on continuity and model
analyses.

The main adjustments to the previous forecast include a quicker
dissipation of the post-tropical cyclone, somewhat linked to the
models showing a faster weakening after 12 hours, and a
continuation of the westward shift in the track forecast in a day
or two. These changes are consistent with the latest model
consensus for track and similar to a GFS/ECMWF blend for intensity.

Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected to
continue along portions of the mid-Atlantic and southeast U.S.
coasts during the next couple of days. See products from your local
National Weather Service Forecast Office for more details.

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
500 AM EDT Tue May 19 2020

Arthur's cloud pattern has continued to take on a generally
post-tropical appearance, though a recent convective burst near its
center suggests that it isn't quite post-tropical yet. Satellite
imagery and earlier scatterometer data also indicate the presence of
a developing warm front near the cyclone's center, and this could be
contributing the the development of the aforementioned convective
burst. ASCAT-C data that arrived early this morning showed maximum
winds of 45-50 kt, and this was the primary basis for the initial
intensity.

Virtually no change was made to the intensity forecast. Despite the
recent increase of convection near Arthur's center, extratropical
transition should finish fairly soon. Slight strengthening due to
baroclinic forcing is possible through the afternoon, but the
cyclone is forecast to begin spinning down by tonight or Wednesday
morning. The global and regional models indicate that the system
will dissipate within about 72 h, and this is reflected in the
official forecast.

Only small adjustments were made to the track forecast, which
remains near the multi-model consensus. As Arthur weakens it should
be steered generally southward around the east side of a low-level
ridge. The models differ on how quickly the southward turn will
occur, but all agree on that general scenario. The latest NHC
forecast is a little west of the previous one after 24 h.

Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected to
continue along portions of the mid-Atlantic and southeast U.S.
coasts during the next couple of days. See products from your local
National Weather Service Forecast Office for more details.

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
1100 PM EDT Mon May 18 2020

Arthur's cloud shield has shifted to the left or north side of the
cyclone's direction of motion since the previous advisory, which is
a distinctive sign of a tropical cyclone beginning to lose its
tropical characteristics, especially now due to the cyclone moving
over 23 deg C sea-surface temperatures. However, there remains
enough convection within 45-75 nmi of the center for Arthur to still
be classified as a tropical cyclone. The initial intensity has been
increased to 50 kt based on a recent 0129 UTC ASCAT-B overpass that
indicated several 50-51 kt wind vectors existed in the northwestern
quadrant.

The initial motion estimate is 070/13 kt. Arthur should move east-
northeastward tonight and then turn toward the east by Tuesday
morning as the cyclone moves around the northern periphery of a
low- to mid-level ridge. On day 2, all of the global models are
forecasting the mid- and upper-level circulations to separate
from the low-level circulation, with the latter feature dropping
southeastward and then southward around the eastern portion of a
low-level ridge. The new track forecast is similar to but slightly
east of the previous advisory track on days 2 and 3, and closely
follows a blend of the consensus models TVCN and GFEX.

Only slight strengthening is expected during the next day or so
due to baroclinic effects while Arthur undergoes extratropical
transition. Data from NOAA Buoy 44014, located west Arthur's
center, indicate that a cold front passed over that station around
2300 UTC, which would place the front about 50-75 nmi west of the
cyclone at this time. Therefore, a merger with the front is likely
during the next 12 hours. The system should begin to steadily
weaken shortly after 24 hours when Arthur will be moving over
SSTs near 20 deg C, and in conjunction with the aforementioned
decoupling of the circulations.

Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected to
continue along portions of the mid-Atlantic and southeast U.S.
coasts during the next couple of days. See products from your local
National Weather Service Forecast Office for more details.

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Arthur was
located near latitude 36.4 North, longitude 72.4 West. Arthur is
moving toward the east-northeast near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this
motion is forecast to continue tonight. A turn toward the east is
expected on Tuesday. A slower motion toward the southeast or
south-southeast is expected to begin Tuesday night and continue
through Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center of Arthur will
continue to move out to sea away from the east coast of the United
States.

Recent satellite-derived wind data indicate that maximum sustained
winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts.
Although some slight strengthening is forecast during the
next day or so, Arthur is expected to lose its tropical
characteristics on Tuesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
from the center. NOAA Buoy 44014 located about 100 miles (160 km)
west of Arthur's center recently measured a sustained wind of
38 mph (61 km/h) and a gust to 47 mph (76 km/h). Also, NOAA Buoy
41001 located about 120 miles (200 km) southeast of the center
recently measured a wind gust of 43 mph (69 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 991 mb (29.27 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Arthur are expected to affect portions
of the mid-Atlantic and southeast U.S. coasts during the next
day or two. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
500 PM EDT Mon May 18 2020

Although the center of Arthur did not make landfall in the North
Carolina Outer Banks, it passed within about 20 n mi southeast of
Cape Hatteras around 1500 UTC. Tropical-storm-force wind gusts have
been reported at several automated observing sites on and near the
Outer Banks, with the highest sustained wind of 34 kt at Alligator
River Bridge earlier this afternoon. Deep convection continues over
the northeastern portion of Arthur's circulation, but visible
imagery has recently shown an increase in separation between
low-level center and the convective activity. This is the result of
increasing southwesterly shear and the beginning of the cyclone's
extratropical transition. The initial intensity remains 45 kt,
which was in agreement with the earlier aircraft data. As the
cyclone completes its extratropical transition, some strengthening
is forecast due to baroclinic processes. After 24 hours, little
change in strength is expected until the frontal gradients decrease
on Wednesday. The system should gradually spin down after that
time, and dissipate by late in the week.

The initial motion estimate is 045/14 kt. Arthur should continue
northeastward this evening, but is expected to turn eastward Tuesday
morning as the cyclone becomes embedded within the mid-latitude
westerlies. Troughing over the central and western Atlantic should
cause the Arthur to turn southeastward on Wednesday when the
steering flow becomes northwesterly. Little change was required to
the previous NHC official forecast and the updated track again lies
between the GFS, ECMWF, and the multi-model consensus.

Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected to
continue along portions of the mid-Atlantic and southeast U.S.
coasts during the next couple of days. See products from your local
National Weather Service Forecast Office for more details.

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
1100 AM EDT Mon May 18 2020

Arthur has become a little better organized this morning with an
overall increase in convection and banding noted since overnight.
The first couple of reconnaissance aircraft passes through the
center have shown that the pressure has fallen to around 996 mb.
The plane has also reported several believable SFMR winds of 38-43
kt, and the anemometer on buoy 41025 at an elevation of only 4 m
has reported a peak 1-minute wind of 37 kt. Based on these data
the initial intensity is set at 45 kt.

The forward speed of Arthur has continued to increase and the
estimated motion is north-northeast at 14 kt. The cyclone should
turn northeastward later today and begin moving away from the North
Carolina Outer Banks as a mid-latitude trough approaches from the
west. By Tuesday, Arthur is forecast to turn eastward within the
mid-latitude westerlies. After that time, a deepening trough over
the central and western Atlantic is expected to cause the cyclone to
turn southeastward as the steering flow turns northwestward. The GFS
and ECMWF are now in relatively good agreement on this scenario and
the new NHC track forecast lies between those typically reliable
models and the multi-model consensus aids.

Although the vertical shear is increasing over the storm and it is
soon moving over cooler waters, some strengthening due to baroclinic
process is predicted over the next 24 hours. The storm should merge
with a frontal boundary late tonight or early Tuesday which will
complete Arthur's transition to an extratropical cyclone. By
Wednesday, the post-tropical cyclone should begin to weaken as the
frontal gradients decrease. The post-tropical cyclone should
dissipate in about 96 h.


Key Messages:

1. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for a portion of the
North Carolina coast. Tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains
are expected there today.

2. Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected
to spread northward along the southeast U.S. coast to the
mid-Atlantic states during the next couple of days. See products
from your local National Weather Service Forecast Office for more
details.

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
500 AM EDT Mon May 18 2020

Arthur remains poorly organized in both satellite and radar imagery
this morning, with the low-level center located near the
southwestern edge of a complex of ragged convective bands. Surface
observations from buoys off of the North Carolina coast suggest the
central pressure has fallen a little since the last aircraft fix,
so the intensity will be held at 40 kt for this advisory. The next
aircraft is scheduled to reach Arthur between 11-12Z.

Arthur's forward speed has increased with the initial motion now
020/12. A baroclinic trough and associated surface front
approaching from the west should cause Arthur to turn northeastward
during the next several hours, with the forecast track showing the
center passing near or just offshore of the North Carolina Outer
Banks. By Tuesday and Tuesday night, Arthur will be entering the
strong mid-latitude Westerlies, which will steer cyclone eastward
for a day or two. After that time, Arthur or its remnants should
turn southeastward and southward on the southwest side of a
deep-layer trough over the central Atlantic. The latest guidance
is showing a more southward motion after 60 h than seen previously,
and the new forecast track is also nudged southward during that
time.

Arthur is moving near and almost parallel to the Gulf Stream, and
the warm water could allow some strengthening before southwesterly
shear increases significantly later today. The cyclone should merge
with a frontal system and become extratropical in the 24-36 h
period, with the global models indicating some increase in the winds
north of the center as this occurs. The intensity forecast calls
for Arthur to reach a 50 kt intensity in 36 h as an extratropical
low in best agreement with the GFS model. After 48 h, the system
should decay, and the global models suggest it should dissipate in
the 96-120 h period. The new intensity forecast has only minor
tweaks from the previous forecast.


Key Messages:

1. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for a portion of the
North Carolina coast. Tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains
are expected there today.

2. Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected
to spread northward along the southeast U.S. coast to the
mid-Atlantic states during the next couple of days. See products
from your local National Weather Service Forecast Office for more
details.

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
1100 PM EDT Sun May 17 2020

Arthur's appearance in radar and satellite imagery has degraded
significantly since the previous advisory with very little
convective banding features present now. However, an Air Force
Reserve reconnaissance aircraft investigating the cyclone late this
afternoon and early has found maximum 850-mb flight-level winds of
46 kt in the eastern quadrant along with reliable SFMR surface wind
speeds of 36-38 kt, plus a central pressure of 1003 mb. Based on
these data, the initial intensity has been held at 40 kt for this
advisory since higher wind speeds could be present within areas of
convection north of the center that were not sampled.

Aircraft and satellite fixes indicate that Arthur has continued to
move north-northeastward or 020/09 kt. The cyclone is forecast to
accelerate northeastward on Monday ahead of an approaching shortwave
trough and frontal system, and remain just offshore of the North
Carolina Outer Banks. By Tuesday night, Arthur will be entering the
strong mid-latitude Westerlies, which will steer cyclone eastward
and also induce extratropical transition when the cyclone merges
with the aforementioned frontal system. The new NHC track guidance
is tightly clustered about the previous forecast track, so no
significant cross-track changes were required. However, some slight
changes to the forward were required on days 2 and 3, and the new
NHC track forecast now shows Arthur moving a little faster to the
east and southeast on those days.

Arthur is currently moving over the warmest waters in the Gulfstream
where ocean temperatures are 26-26.5 deg C. However, some mid-level
shear undercutting the otherwise upper-level outflow pattern,
coupled with the entrainment of dry mid-level air has disrupted the
overall convective pattern. These unfavorable conditions should
continue for the next coupe of days, with only intermittent bursts
of deep convection occuring near the center until Arthur passes
northeast of the Outer Banks by late Monday. Thereafter, baroclinic
effects along with extratropical transition are expected to cause
some further strengthening before weakening begins late Tuesday and
on Wednesday. The official intensity forecast follows a blend of the
intensity consensus model IVCN, and the GFS and ECMWF model
forecasts.


Key Messages:

1. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for a portion of the
North Carolina coast. Tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains
are expected there on Monday.

2. Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected
to spread northward along the southeast U.S. coast to the
mid-Atlantic states during the next couple of days. See products
from your local National Weather Service Forecast Office for more
details.

At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Arthur was
located by an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft near
latitude 31.8 North, longitude 77.0 West. Arthur is moving toward
the north-northeast near 9 mph (15 km/h). A turn toward the
northeast with an increase in forward speed is forecast to occur
later tonight or on Monday. A turn toward the east is expected on
Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Arthur will remain
well offshore of the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina tonight,
and then move near or just east of the coast of North Carolina on
Monday. Arthur is forecast to turn away from the east coast of the
United States Monday night and Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some gradual strengthening is forecast during the next day or
so. Arthur is likely to lose tropical characteristics on Tuesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km)

The minimum central pressure recently measured by the
reconnaissance aircraft was 1004 mb (29.65 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the Tropical
Storm Warning area on Monday.

RAINFALL: Arthur is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
1 to 3 inches over coastal North Carolina tonight and Monday,
with locally higher amounts.

SURF: Swells generated by Arthur are affecting portions of the
southeast U.S. coast and are expected to spread northward along the
U.S. mid-Atlantic coast during the next day or two. These swells
could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
500 PM EDT Sun May 17 2020

Arthur's satellite presentation has not changed much since the
previous advisory. There are still some fragmented convective
bands over the eastern portions of the circulation, but convective
activity remains limited over the western half of the storm. A
late-arriving ASCAT overpass from around the time of the previous
advisory revealed somewhat lower wind speeds than reported by
this morning's reconnaissance aircraft. This could be the result
of the convection becoming more fragmented after the aircraft
sampled that portion of the storm or related to the low bias of
the ASCAT instrument. Regardless, the initial intensity remains a
possibly generous 40 kt for now. Another reconnaissance aircraft
is scheduled to investigate Arthur this evening.

Arthur is forecast to remain within a low wind shear environment
and over marginally warm sea surface temperatures through early
Monday. These conditions favor some strengthening, however the
sprawling structure of the cyclone and nearby dry mid-level air are
likely to temper any increase in wind speed. After 36-48 hours,
baroclinic forcing is expected to help the post-tropical cyclone
maintain its intensity. Later in the period, the frontal
gradients decrease which should cause weakening.

Recent satellite fixes show that the Arthur is still moving
north-northeastward at about 8 kt. The tropical storm should begin
to accelerate northeastward overnight as a mid-level trough moves
into the eastern United States. By Tuesday night, the steering
flow is expected to become westerly which should cause Arthur to
turn eastward, then southeastward later in the forecast period.
The lastest dynamical track guidance has come into a little better
agreement through 36-48 hours with the GFS and ECMWF converging on
the previous NHC track. As a result, little change was needed to
the first couple of days of the earlier NHC track forecast. After
that time, most of the guidance has trended toward a faster
eastward and east-southeastward motion, and the NHC forecast has
been adjusted accordingly in that direction as well.


Key Messages:

1. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for a portion of the
North Carolina coast. Tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains
are expected there on Monday.

2. Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected
to spread northward along the southeast U.S. coast to the
mid-Atlantic states during the next couple of days. See products

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
1100 AM EDT Sun May 17 2020

Visible satellite imagery reveals a couple of convective bands over
the eastern semicircle of the tropical storm, but convection is
sparse over the western portion of the circulation. The latest
reports from an Air Force reconnaissance aircraft show peak 925-mb
flight-level winds of 48 kt, and believable SFMR winds of 35-40 kt.
On this basis, the initial wind speed has been increased to 40 kt.
The plane has reported a minimum pressure of 1002-1003 mb, which is
down a few millibars from the previous flight.

Arthur has a little more than 24 hours in which to gradually
strengthen. The storm will be traversing the relatively warm
waters of the Gulf stream, and the vertical shear is forecast to
remain low through early Monday. After that time, increasing shear
and cooler sea surface temperatures should put a halt to the
tropical cyclone strengthening processes. Baroclinic forcing is
likely to help the post-tropical cyclone maintain its strengthen
through extratropical transition. Later in the forecast period,
the global model guidance shows weakening as the frontal gradients
decrease.

The storm is moving north-northeastward or 015/8 kt. Arthur is
expected to begin moving a little faster later today and tonight as
a mid-level trough approaches the eastern United States. Later in
the forecast period, the cyclone should turn eastward within the
westerly steering flow. Although the dynamical models are in
agreement on the overall scenario, there remains some spread as to
how close the center of Arthur will track to the North Carolina
Outer Bands. The GFS and HWRF remain along the western side of the
guidance while the ECMWF and UKMET bracket the eastern side. The
NHC track lies near the model consensus and little change was
required to the previous track through 36-48 hours. After that
time, the track guidance spread increases with the ECMWF showing a
much faster east-southeastward motion than the GFS. The NHC
forecast remains near the consensus after 48 hours, but there is
less confidence in that portion of the track prediction.


Key Messages:

1. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for a portion of the
North Carolina coast. Tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains
are expected there on Monday.

2. Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected
to spread northward along the southeast U.S. coast to the
mid-Atlantic states during the next couple of days. See products
from your local National Weather Service Forecast Office for more
details.

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
500 AM EDT Sun May 17 2020

Arthur has not changed much in organization overnight. The storm
features a large curved convective band over the eastern semicircle
of the circulation, and the low-level center appears to be exposed
to the west of that band. The intensity is held at 35 kt in
agreement with a subjective Dvorak estimate from TAFB and ADT
estimates from UW-CIMSS. An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft is
scheduled to investigate the cyclone around 12Z which should provide
a good estimate of Arthur's intensity.

Although Arthur will be crossing back over the Gulf Stream tonight
and Monday, vertical shear is forecast to steadily increase during
that time. With these counteracting influences on intensity
change, only slight strengthening is anticipated during the next
24-36 hours. The official forecast is close to the model consensus
and is similar to the previous one. In 2-3 days, some strengthening
due to baroclinic processes is possible, since the global models
depict extratropical transition around that time. Later in
the forecast period, the dynamical guidance shows weakening as the
frontal gradients decrease.

The storm has been moving a little to the left of the previous
estimates and the motion is now around 015/8 kt. An approaching
mid-level trough over the eastern U.S. should cause the cyclone to
accelerate northeastward during the next 48 hours or so. Later in
the forecast period, Arthur or its post-tropical remnants should
turn eastward within a general westerly flow field. There has been
a bit of a westward shift in much of the track guidance for the
next 1-2 days, which has necessitated a leftward adjustment of the
official forecast track. Since the new NHC forecast is now closer
to the North Carolina Outer Banks, the Tropical Storm Watch has
been changed to a Tropical Storm Warning for that area.

Key Messages:

1. A Tropical Storm Warning is now in effect for a portion of the
North Carolina coast. Tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains
are expected there on Monday.

2. Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected
to spread northward from Florida to the mid-Atlantic states during
the next few days. See products from your local National Weather
Service Forecast Office for more details.

coast of North Carolina on Monday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Arthur is
likely to lose its tropical characteristics on Tuesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the Tropical
Storm Warning area on Monday.

RAINFALL: Arthur is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
1 to 3 inches over coastal North Carolina tonight and Monday,
with locally higher amounts.

SURF: Swells generated by Arthur are affecting portions of
the east coast of central and northern Florida. These swells are
expected to spread northward during the next few days, and could
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions across much
of the U.S. southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts. Please consult
products from your local weather office.

Tropical Storm Arthur Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
1100 PM EDT Sat May 16 2020

An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft that has been
investigating the tropical cyclone east of Florida has recently
found maximum 925-mb flight-level winds of 45-46 kt to the
southeast and east of the center, which equates to surface winds
of 34-35 kt, along with uncontaminated SFMR surface wind speeds of
33-36 kt. Based on these data, the depression has been upgraded to
Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the 2020 Atlantic
hurricane season.

The initial motion estimate remains north-northeastward or 030/11
kt. Arthur made a slight northeastward jog earlier this evening,
but now appears to have returned to its previous base course. A
motion toward the north-northeast is forecast to continue for the
next 24 hours or so, keeping the cyclone well offshore the coasts
of Florida and Georgia. A sharp shortwave trough currently moving
across the southern Plains is forecast to dig east-southeast to
southeastward over the next 48 hours, which will act to accelerate
and eject Arthur more poleward. The more the shortwave trough digs
and loses latitude, the more Arthur could get pulled closer to
the North Carolina Outer Banks as per the GFS and HWRF scenarios.
In contrast, the ECMWF and UKMET models show the shortwave losing
amplitude quickly and lifting out, which acts to push Arthur
farther away from the United States east coast. For now, the new
NHC forecast track closely follows the various consensus models,
which are about midway between the GFS-HWRF and ECMWF-UKMET
solutions. However, the track was adjusted slightly to the right of
the previous advisory track due mainly to the more eastward initial
position. It should be noted that forecast track uncertainty is
typically larger for weak systems like Arthur.

Arthur has moved off of the warm waters of the Gulfstream current
and currently is passing over a cold pool with SSTs near 24.5 deg
C. These cooler waters should prevent any significant strengthening
in the very near term. By 24 hours however, the cyclone is forecast
to pass back over the warmer waters of the Gulfstream while moving
into a very low vertical wind shear regime. These conditions,
coupled with some cooler air aloft, should allow more vigorous
convection to develop near the center, resulting in more
strengthening as Arthur passes near the North Carolina coast.
Extratropical transition should occur in about 48-60 hours over the
much cooler waters of the North Atlantic. The NHC intensity
forecast follows a blend of the consensus models HCCA and IVCN, and
is similar to the previous intensity forecast.

Key Messages:

1. A tropical storm watch is in effect for a portion of the
North Carolina coast. Tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains
are possible there on Monday.

2. Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected
to spread northward from Florida to the mid-Atlantic states during
the next few days. See products from your local National Weather
Service Forecast Office for more details.

tonight. The depression is also expected to produce total rain
accumulations of 1 to 2 inches over coastal North Carolina Sunday
night and Monday.

SURF: Swells generated by the depression are affecting portions of
the east coast of central and northern Florida. These swells are
expected to spread northward during the next few days, and could
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions across much
of the U.S. southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts. Please consult
products from your local weather office.

Tropical Depression One Discussion Number 1...Corrected
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012020
500 PM EDT Sat May 16 2020

Corrected Key Message number 2

Satellite images, Doppler radar data, and surface observations
indicate that the low pressure system located just east of the coast
of central Florida has developed sufficient organization to now be
classified as a tropical depression. The low-level center is well
defined and deep convection has persisted near the center and in
bands on the east side of the circulation for the past several
hours. The cyclone is considered tropical instead of subtropical
because it has central deep convection and a relatively small radius
of maximum wind. The initial intensity is estimated to be 30 kt
based on data collected earlier today by the Air Force Hurricane
Hunters. Another aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system
this evening.

Based on satellite data and the earlier reconnaissance fixes, the
initial motion of the system is north-northeastward at 11 kt. A
continued north-northeastward motion at about the same forward speed
is expected during the next 24 hours or so, keeping the cyclone
offshore, but parallel to, the east coast of Florida. After that
time,
the model solutions begin to diverge and the details of the track
forecast become more complicated. The important features for the
future track of the depression appear to be a pair of mid- to
upper-level troughs currently over the central U.S. The specific
amplitude, timing, and location of those troughs will ultimately
result in how close to the coast of North Carolina this system gets.
The GFS and HWRF models are on the left side of the guidance and
bring the system inland or along the coast, while the ECMWF and
UKMET models show an offshore track. The NHC track forecast splits
the difference of these solutions, and lies close to the various
consensus models, which usually perform best. It should be noted
that forecast uncertainty is typically larger for weak systems like
this one.

The system should gradually strengthen during the next couple of
days as it remains over the Gulf Stream current and in relatively
low wind shear conditions. However, the surrounding air mass is not
particularly moist, so that and the marginally warm SSTs should
limit significant intensification. The NHC intensity forecast calls
for the system to become a tropical storm tonight or on Sunday with
continued slow strengthening as it nears the North Carolina coast.
Extratropical transition should occur in about 3 days, or sooner.
The NHC intensity forecast generally lies roughly near the middle of
the guidance envelope.

Key Messages:

1. A tropical storm watch has been issued for a portion of the
North Carolina coast. Tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains
are possible there on Monday.

2. Dangerous coastal surf conditions and rip currents are expected
to spread northward from Florida to the mid-Atlantic states during
the next few days. See products from your local National Weather
Service forecast office for more details.
