Remnants Of Gonzalo Discussion Number 17
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
500 PM AST Sat Jul 25 2020

Gonzalo's structure has degraded further since the last advisory.
Late-arriving ASCAT data showed a well-defined tropical wave with
winds around 30 kt, but no clear evidence of a closed circulation.
Grenada reported max winds of 28 kt with a gust to 40 kt, in line
with the ASCAT observations, while multiple observing stations in
Trinidad did not report any westerly winds as the system passed.
There has been no evidence of a well-defined center in visible
imagery since that time. Given the additional degradation of
Gonzalo's appearance since it moved closest to those islands, it
appears that the system has opened into wave and dissipated.
Therefore, this will be the last advisory issued by the National
Hurricane Center.

Tropical squalls associated with the remnants of Gonzalo will
continue to move westward for the next day or so and could bring
gusty winds and heavy rain to portions of the southeastern
Caribbean. Please consult products from your national meteorological
service for information specific to your area.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 16
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
1100 AM AST Sat Jul 25 2020

Gonzalo is looking very ragged, with a cloud field that more
resembles a tropical squall than a tropical storm. If Gonzalo still
has a well-defined center, it is located to the east of the primary
area of deep convection and is obscured by cirrus clouds. It is
possible that ASCAT data will provide more information on the status
of Gonzalo later this morning. For now, the intensity is held at
35 kt based on overnight reconnaissance data, but it is possible
that Gonzalo is no longer producing winds of that magnitude except
in squalls not directly related to the system's circulation.

Gonzalo appears to have continued westward since the last advisory,
with a somewhat uncertain forward speed estimate of 16 kt. As noted
in the previous advisory, Gonzalo is not expected to gain much
latitude today and should continue generally westward for the next
day or so. Close proximity to land and unfavorable large-scale
environmental factors should cause Gonzalo to weaken and open into a
trough by late Sunday, if not sooner. No significant changes were
made to the NHC track or intensity forecasts which both remain near
the multi-model consensus.

Key Messages

1. Gonzalo is causing gusty winds across portions of the southern
Windward Islands. Interests in the southern Windward Islands should
monitor the progress of Gonzalo and follow any advice given by local
officials.

2. Gonzalo is producing heavy rain over portions of the
southern Windward Islands. This could lead to life-threatening
flash flooding.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 15
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
500 AM AST Sat Jul 25 2020

On the last leg in the east semicircle of Gonzalo, the 53rd Air
Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft reported numerous SFMR winds
of 35 to 40 kts, with lighter winds at flight-level. The surface
circulation, however, was still poorly defined, and barely closed.
Based on the reconnaissance observations, the initial intensity is
held at 35 kt for this advisory.

Due to the fact that Gonzalo is moving within an impeding
thermodynamic environment, little change in intensity is forecast
as the cyclone approaches the southern Windward Islands this
afternoon. As Gonzalo moves into the eastern Caribbean Sea,
lingering large-scale subsidence and the cyclone's close proximity
to the coast of Venezuela are predicted to cause the system to
weaken and degenerate into a trough of low pressure in a couple of
days which is consistent with the global model's solution.

The initial motion is estimated to be westward, or 270/15 kt.
Gonzalo should gain very little latitude with time as it continues
moving westward to west-northwestward within the fresh low-level
tradewind flow. The official forecast is once again nudged a bit
toward the south and aligns with the NOAA HFIP HCCA consensus model.


Key Messages

1. Gonzalo is forecast to bring tropical storm conditions to
a portion of the southern Windward Islands today and tonight.
Tropical Storm Warnings are currently in effect for some of
the islands. Interests in the southern Windward Islands should
monitor the progress of Gonzalo and follow any advice given by local
officials.

2. Gonzalo is expected to produce heavy rain over portions of the
southern Windward Islands. This could lead to life-threatening
flash flooding.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 14
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
1100 PM AST Fri Jul 24 2020

Although there has been a recent increase in deep convection in
association with Gonzalo, data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane
Hunter aircraft continues to show that the tropical cyclone is
poorly organized. The aircraft has not yet found winds to support
tropical storm strength, however the advisory intensity will remain
a possibly generous 35-kt until the aircraft completes its mission
overnight. There is also some possibility that this recent
convective burst could result in some short-term re-organization.
However, with the system losing organization over the past day or
so, it is becoming less likely that the small cyclone will be able
to significantly recover due to the nearby dry mid-level
environment. The updated NHC intensity forecast no longer calls
for any re-strengthening, and Gonzalo could even become a tropical
depression before reaching the Windward Islands. After that time,
dry air and Gonzalo's close proximity to the coast of Venezuela are
likely to cause the system to weaken and degenerate into a trough
of low pressure. The NHC forecast now calls for dissipation by
60 h, but this could occur sooner.

Gonzalo continues moving generally westward or 270/15 kt. The
system is not expected to gain much latitude as it should continue
moving westward to west-northwestward within the low-level easterly
flow. The track guidance continues to trend southward and the NHC
track forecast has again been shifted in that direction. The new
track lies to the south of the consensus aids, closest to the GFS
and UKMET ensemble means.


Key Messages

1. Gonzalo is forecast to bring tropical storm conditions to
a portion of the southern Windward Islands Saturday and Saturday
night. Tropical Storm Warnings are currently in effect for some of
the islands. Interests in the southern Windward Islands should
monitor the progress of Gonzalo and follow any advice given by local
officials.

2. Gonzalo is expected to produce heavy rain over portions of the
southern Windward Islands. This could lead to life-threatening
flash flooding.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 13
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
500 PM AST Fri Jul 24 2020

An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigated Gonzalo
earlier this afternoon and found it to very poorly organized. The
aircraft even reported seeing multiple low-level swirls which is
surprising given the small size of the cyclone. The highest
flight-level winds measured by the plane were 41 kt while the
highest believable SFMR values were right around 35 kt. Based on
that data, Gonzalo's intensity has been lowered to 35 kt.

Small systems like Gonzalo are notorious for quick changes in
structure and intensity, both up and down. Therefore, despite its
current downswing, it is too soon to say for sure that Gonzalo will
not restrengthen to some degree before it reaches the southern
Windward Islands. That said, confidence in the intensity forecast is
a little higher now that we have better data to base the forecast on
and it does not seem likely that Gonzalo will overcome the dry air
that is currently inhibiting its development. Given the current
structure of the tropical storm, the NHC intensity forecast has been
lowered significantly, but still allows for some slight
restrengthening during the next 24 h. The new forecast is much
closer to the intensity consensus, below only the HWRF model which
does not appear to have a realistic initialization. Once Gonzalo
reaches the eastern Caribbean, weakening is anticipated and the
cyclone is forecast to dissipate within 3 days, if not sooner.

Gonzalo has sped westward all day with a motion near 270/16 kt. The
guidance continues to insist that Gonzalo will gain a little
latitude in the near future, and a general westward to
west-northwestward motion is still forecast for the next few days.
The NHC track forecast has again been shifted southward, but now
lies near the middle of the guidance envelope and very near the
various track consensus aids.

Key Messages

1. Gonzalo is forecast to bring tropical storm conditions across
portions of the southern Windward Islands Saturday and Saturday
night. Tropical Storm Warnings are currently in effect for some of
the islands. Interests in the southern Windward Islands should
monitor the progress of Gonzalo and follow any advice given by local
officials.

2. Gonzalo is expected to produce heavy rain over portions of the
southern Windward Islands. This could lead to life-threatening
flash flooding.

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY...

The government of Barbados has canceled the Hurricane Watch for
Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNING IN EFFECT...

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
* Barbados
* St. Vincent and the Grenadines
* St. Lucia

A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for...
* Tobago
* Grenada and its dependencies

A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area within 24 to 36 hours.

A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, in this case within 24 to 36 hours.

Interests elsewhere in the Windward Islands should monitor the
progress of this system.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM AST (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gonzalo was
located by an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft near
latitude 9.9 North, longitude 54.8 West. Gonzalo is moving toward
the west near 18 mph (30 km/h). A general westward to
west-northwestward motion is expected during the next couple of
days. On the forecast track, the center of Gonzalo will approach the
southern Windward Islands tonight and then move across the islands
on Saturday and over the eastern Caribbean Sea on Sunday.

The Hurricane Hunter aircraft has not yet completed its survey of
Gonzalo, but preliminary data indicate that maximum sustained winds
are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. There is considerable
uncertainty in the intensity forecast, but some strengthening is
possible during the next day or so before Gonzalo reaches the
southern Windward Islands. Weakening is expected after Gonzalo moves
into the Caribbean Sea, and the cyclone is expected to dissipate by
the middle of next week.

Gonzalo is a small tropical cyclone. Data from the reconnaissance
aircraft indicate that tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up
to 35 miles (55 km) from the center.

The most recent minimum central pressure reported by the Hurricane
Hunter plane was 1008 mb (29.76 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Gonzalo can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within portions of
the Tropical Storm Warning area on Saturday.

RAINFALL: Gonzalo is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 2 to 5 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 8 inches in
Barbados and the Windward Islands through Sunday night. Gonzalo is
also expected to produce total rain accumulations of 2 to 4 inches
in Trinidad and Tobago as well as 1 to 2 inches over northeastern
Venezuela. Rainfall in Barbados and the Windward Islands could lead
to life-threatening flash floods.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
1100 AM AST Fri Jul 24 2020

Gonzalo continues to produce bursts of deep convection, especially
in the southeast quadrant, but has not become any better organized
overall since the last advisory. Microwave imagery overnight
indicated the low-level structure of Gonzalo is still largely
intact, but this has not translated into better convective
organization. ASCAT data valid shortly after 12Z revealed that
Gonzalo has accelerated west faster than anticipated and has not
strengthened. In fact the strongest winds in the ASCAT data were
only 30-35 kt. The resolution of ASCAT likely limits its ability to
sample the actual max winds of small storms like Gonzalo, but it is
another indication that the cyclone has not strengthened and could
be weakening. The initial intensity for this advisory is set
at 45 kt, based primarily on the latest TAFB Dvorak fix and the
UW-CIMSS SATCON. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft
scheduled to investigate the storm this afternoon will provide a
more information about Gonzalo's intensity and structure.

Due primarily to the adjusted initial position, the NHC track
forecast has been adjusted a fair amount west and south of the
previous advisory. Overall Gonzalo is still forecast to move
generally westward or west-northwestward through the period,
steered by the subtropical ridge to the north. The new NHC forecast
lies between the old forecast, adjusted for the new initial
position, and the HFIP Corrected Consensus.

The intensity guidance is generally lower than it has been for the
last day or so, and none of the operational models forecast Gonzalo
to reach hurricane strength. Unfortunately, small storms like
Gonzalo are often subject to large swings in intensity, up or down,
and that aspect of the forecast remains highly uncertain, even
though the spread in the guidance is not particularly high. The NHC
forecast has been adjusted only slightly lower for this cycle and
is now above all of the guidance at the time the system is
forecast to pass through the Windward Islands. A larger
adjustment could be made later today if the most recent model
trends continue, or if the recon mission finds that Gonzalo is even
weaker than the current estimates.


Key Messages

1. Gonzalo is forecast to bring tropical storm conditions across
portions of the southern Windward Islands Saturday and Saturday
night. Hurricane and Tropical Storm Warning and Watches are
currently in effect for some of the islands. Interests in the
southern Windward Islands should monitor the progress of Gonzalo and
follow any advice given by local officials.

2. Gonzalo is expected to produce heavy rain over portions of the
southern Windward Islands. This could lead to life-threatening
flash flooding.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
500 AM AST Fri Jul 24 2020

Conventional satellite imagery indicates that Gonzalo's cloud
pattern has changed little during the past several hours. The
cyclone continues to produce an area of deep convection, although
quite shapeless, with very cold cloud tops. A compromise of the
subjective T-numbers from TAFB and SAB along with an earlier SATCON
estimate of 55 kt yields an initial intensity of 50 kt for this
advisory. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft scheduled to
investigate the storm later this afternoon will provide a more
precise intensity estimate.

The statistical-dynamical intensity guidance as well as the
deterministic models all show Gonzalo strengthening as it
approaches the southern Windward Islands. The HWRF, Decay
SHIPS and the LGEM are the only guidance indicating a
hurricane around the 36 hour period. Afterward, Gonzalo is
forecast to move into a more inhibiting thermodynamic
environment over the weekend. Accordingly, the intensity forecast
calls for weakening on Sunday as Gonzalo enters the eastern
Caribbean sea and dissipation in 96 hours, or sooner as a couple of
the large-scale models suggest. The intensity forecast is
basically an update of the previous advisory through 36 hours,
indicating a hurricane approaching and moving over the southern
Windward Islands, and a faster weakening trend afterward,
out of respect to the global model's prediction.

The initial motion is estimated to be westward, or 275/12 kt
and Gonzalo is being steered by a building subtropical ridge to the
system's north. The cyclone is expected to increase in forward
speed toward the west and west-northwest through the entire period.
The NHC official forecast is an update of the previous advisory and
is based on the various consensus aids.

Key Messages

1. The risk of wind and rain impacts from Gonzalo in portions of
the southern Windward Islands this weekend continues to increase,
however there is significant uncertainty in how strong Gonzalo will
be when it moves across the islands.

2. Despite the uncertainty in Gonzalo's future intensity, hurricane
or tropical storm conditions are possible across portions of the
southern Windward Islands Saturday and Saturday night. Hurricane
and Tropical Storm Warning and Watches are currently in effect for
some of the islands. Interests in the southern Windward Islands
should monitor the progress of Gonzalo and follow any advice given
by local officials.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNING IN EFFECT...

A Hurricane Watch is in effect for...
* Barbados
* St. Vincent and the Grenadines

A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for...
* Tobago
* Grenada and its dependencies

A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible
within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours before
the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds,
conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous.

A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours.

Interests elsewhere in the Windward Islands should monitor the
progress of this system. Additional watches or warnings will
likely be required for some of these islands later this morning.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gonzalo was
located near latitude 9.9 North, longitude 51.2 West. Gonzalo is
moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h). A westward to
west-northwestward motion with an increase in forward speed is
expected through the weekend. On the forecast track, the center of
Gonzalo will approach the southern Windward Islands tonight and
move across these islands Saturday and into the eastern Caribbean
Sea Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next day or two,
and there is still a chance that Gonzalo could become a hurricane
before reaching the Windward Islands. Weakening is expected after
Gonzalo moves into the Caribbean Sea and the cyclone is expected to
dissipate by the middle of next week.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Gonzalo can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC.

WIND: Hurricane or tropical storm conditions are possible within
the respective watch areas on Saturday.

RAINFALL: Gonzalo is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 2 to 5 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 7 inches in
Barbados and the Windward Islands tonight through Sunday night.
Gonzalo is also expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 1 to 2 inches in Trinidad and Tobago. Rainfall in Barbados and
the Windward Islands could lead to life-threatening flash floods.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
1100 PM AST Thu Jul 23 2020

After ingesting a hefty portion of dry high statically stable air
this morning, Gonzalo appears to be on the comeback trail.
Enhanced infrared BD-curve imagery shows that a small Central Dense
Overcast with cloud tops of -80C is redeveloping over the surface
center. A compromise of the available subjective and objective
satellite intensity estimates supports maintaining 50 kt for this
advisory.

This morning's upper air sounding from Barbados revealed a very
dry, high statically stable atmosphere with a mean RH of 23 percent
and a CAPE of only 327 J/Kg. Consequently, Gonzalo will be moving
into a rather harsh thermodynamic environment over the weekend. As
a result, the NHC forecast calls for weakening beyond the 48 hour
period as it enters the eastern Caribbean sea and dissipation well
south of Hispaniola at day 5, or sooner as a few of the global
models suggest. The intensity forecast is basically an update of
the previous advisory through 48 hours, indicating a hurricane
approaching and moving over the southern Windward Islands, and a
faster weakening trend beyond day 2, similar to a consensus of the
large-scale models.

The initial motion is estimated to be westward, or 275/12 kt
within the stiff mid-tropospheric steering flow provided by an
anchored subtropical ridge to the cyclone's north. The song
remains the same, with Gonzalo expected to speed up toward the west
and west-northwest through the entire period. The NHC official
forecast is based on a blend of the various consensus aids and is
down the middle of the tightly clustered guidance.

Key Messages

1. The risk of wind and rain impacts from Gonzalo in portions of
the southern Windward Islands this weekend continues to increase,
however there is significant uncertainty in how strong Gonzalo will
be when it moves across the islands.

2. Despite the uncertainty in Gonzalo's future intensity, hurricane
or tropical storm conditions are possible across portions of the
southern Windward Islands Saturday and Saturday night. Hurricane
and Tropical Storm Watches are currently in effect for some of
the islands, and additional watches or warnings could be required
tonight or early Friday. Interests in the southern Windward Islands
should monitor the progress of Gonzalo and follow any advice given
by local officials.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
500 PM AST Thu Jul 23 2020

Scatterometer data received just after the release of the previous
advisory only showed winds of 40-45 kt, but given Gonzalo's small
size, it's unlikely that the resolution of the instrument was able
to capture the maximum winds. Even correcting for that, Gonzalo's
winds were lowered to 50 kt on the 2 PM intermediate advisory, and
that still looks good now with satellite intensity estimates
ranging from 35 kt to 55 kt. Structure-wise, deep convection has
redeveloped on top of Gonzalo's center, so the storm is not ready
to give up its fight quite yet.

There is still greater-than-normal uncertainty in Gonzalo's
forecast intensity due to its small size and how it will behave in
an environment of relatively light shear and warm sea surface
temperatures counterbalanced by a lot of dry air. The statistical
and dynamical hurricane models continue to show strengthening, while
several of the global models, in particular the ECMWF and UKMET,
still show Gonzalo weakening and opening up into a trough near or
after it passes the Windward Islands. Based on the lower initial
intensity and the latest guidance, the new official forecast
has been lowered slightly, but it still brings Gonzalo to the
hurricane threshold in 36-48 hours. Either way, Gonzalo's small
size makes it susceptible to short-term changes in intensity that
cannot be reflected in the official forecast. There is more
confidence that weakening will occur after Gonzalo moves over the
Caribbean Sea, with even the GFS showing the system becoming a
trough. Given that, dissipation is now shown in the forecast at day
5.

Gonzalo's initial motion is westward, or 275/11 kt. There has been
no change in the track forecast reasoning, with Gonzalo expected to
accelerate toward the west and west-northwest through the forecast
period. The track guidance is fairly tightly clustered, showing
Gonzalo's center crossing somewhere through the Windward Islands
between 48-60 hours. Some of the models shifted northward a bit on
this cycle, and the NHC track forecast has therefore been nudged in
that direction close to the multi-model consensus aids, HCCA, and
the Florida State Superensemble. However, users should not focus
on these relatively small shifts in the forecast track from cycle
to cycle, and for the Windward Islands in particular, consider that
48-60 hour forecast points can be off by an average of 60-80 nm.

Key Messages

1. The risk of wind and rain impacts from Gonzalo in portions of
the southern Windward Islands this weekend continues to increase,
however there is significant uncertainty in how strong Gonzalo will
be when it moves across the islands.

2. Despite the uncertainty in Gonzalo's future intensity, hurricane
or tropical storm conditions are possible across portions of the
southern Windward Islands Saturday and Saturday night. Hurricane
and Tropical Storm Watches are currently in effect some of
the islands, and additional watches or warnings could be required
tonight or early Friday. Interests in the southern Windward Islands

--------------------
CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY...

None.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNING IN EFFECT...

A Hurricane Watch is in effect for...
* Barbados
* St. Vincent and the Grenadines

A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible
within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours before
the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds,
conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous.

Interests in the Windward Islands should monitor the progress of
this system. Additional watches or warnings will likely be
required for some of these islands later today.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM AST (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gonzalo was
located near latitude 9.7 North, longitude 48.8 West. Gonzalo is
moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h). A westward to
west-northwestward motion with an increase in forward speed is
expected through the weekend. On the forecast track, the center of
Gonzalo will approach the southern Windward Islands Friday night and
move across the islands Saturday and Saturday evening.

Satellite-derived wind data indicate that maximum sustained winds
have decreased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Some
re-strengthening is possible during the next couple of days, and
there is still a chance that Gonzalo could become a hurricane.

The satellite wind data indicate that Gonzalo is an even smaller
storm than previously thought, and tropical-storm-force winds only
extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Gonzalo can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC.

WIND: Hurricane or tropical storm conditions are possible within
the watch area on Saturday.

RAINFALL: Gonzalo is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 2 to 5 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 7 inches in
Barbados and the Windward Islands from Friday night through Sunday
night. Gonzalo is also expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 1 to 2 inches in Trinidad and Tobago. Rainfall in Barbados and
the Windward Islands could lead to life-threatening flash floods.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
1100 AM AST Thu Jul 23 2020

Recently-obtained GCOM and WindSat microwave data from overnight
shows that Gonzalo's center is a little farther south than
previously estimated. In addition, the storm's structure has
become a little disheveled since yesterday, with the deep
convection losing some organization. SAB's data-T number responded
to this by falling to 2.5, but overall the CI numbers and SATCON
support maintaining 55 kt for now.

There is still an incredible amount of uncertainty in Gonzalo's
intensity forecast. Sea surface temperatures to the east of the
Windward Islands are warm--close to 29C--and the storm is likely to
be moving through an environment of relatively light shear at least
for the next 48 hours or so. The ambient environment is not
particularly moist, however, with mid-level relative humidity
generally around 50 percent, and it already appears that this dry
air is affecting Gonzalo. Small cyclones like Gonzalo tend to
succumb to any type of adverse environmental conditions quite
easily, and it's possible that the system could struggle during the
next couple of days. This is the solution shown by some of the
global models, particularly the ECMWF and UKMET. On the other
hand, the hurricane statistical and dynamical models, as well as
the GFS, continue to show Gonzalo strengthening to a hurricane
before it reaches the Windward Islands. Out of an abundance of
caution, the official forecast continues to show Gonzalo becoming a
hurricane in about 24 hours, but the uncertainty in this scenario
cannot be stressed enough. There is a higher degree of certainty
that Gonzalo would weaken once it moves over the eastern and
central Caribbean Sea, where even the GFS shows it opening up into
a wave.

Even with the southward adjustment of the initial position, Gonzalo
still appears to be moving westward, or 270/12 kt. The subtropical
ridge to the north is forecast to push Gonzalo toward the west or
west-northwest, with an increase in forward speed, for the entire
5-day forecast period. Much of the track uncertainty hinges on
exactly how strong Gonzalo gets, with the stronger model
representations showing the storm making more poleward process.
Models such as the ECMWF and UKMET, which keep Gonzalo weak or open
it up into a trough, are along the southern side of the guidance
envelope. The updated NHC track forecast has been shifted
southward some, to account for the new initial position and to be a
little closer to the intensity consensus, HCCA, and the Florida
State Superensemble.


Key Messages

1. There is an increasing risk of wind and rain impacts from
Gonzalo in portions of the southern Windward Islands this weekend,
however there is significant uncertainty in how strong Gonzalo will
be when it moves across the islands.

2. Despite the uncertainty in Gonzalo's future intensity, hurricane
conditions are possible across portions of the southern Windward
Islands. Hurricane Watches are currently in effect for Barbados
and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and additional watches for
other islands could be required later today. Interests in the
southern Windward Islands should monitor the progress of Gonzalo and
follow any advice given by local officials.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
500 AM AST Thu Jul 23 2020

A 0441 UTC ATMS/Soumi NPP microwave overpass revealed a
well-developed banding feature wrapping into the center from the
east semi-circle. Cloud tops have once again cooled near the
surface center and subsequently, the Dvorak satellite intensity
estimates from both TAFB and SAB have increased to T3.5 (55 kt).
Accordingly, the initial intensity is raised to 55 kt for this
advisory.

No major changes were made to the intensity forecast and there
still remains a relatively high degree of uncertainty beyond day 3
while the cyclone moves through the Caribbean Sea. Strengthening
is forecast through 48 hours as Gonzalo approaches the Islands and
the forecast is close to a blend of the HCCA intensity consensus,
the IVCN multi-model guidance and the Decay SHIPS. Beyond
mid-period, the forecast reflects a weakening trend in respect to
the European models solution, but at much more gradual rate. It
should also be noted that the small size of this system makes it
susceptible to significant fluctuations in intensity, both upward
and downward.

The initial motion is estimated to be due west, or 270/10 kt.
The forecast track philosophy remains unchanged. Gonzalo is moving
within low to mid-level easterly steering flow produced by a
subtropical ridge anchored to the north of the cyclone, and this
high pressure should steer the storm generally westward at a faster
forward speed for the next few days. After that time, a motion
toward the west-northwest is expected. Two distinct
model clusters with differing forecast track solutions persist. The
European models along with the Canadian indicate a weak cyclone
moving generally westward through the southern Windward Islands and
dissipating in 5 days or less. The NCEP models, on the other hand,
show a much stronger tropical cyclone with a west-northwestward to
northwestward motion toward Hispaniola. The NHC forecast basically
down the middle of these to model clusters and is very close to the
TVCA consensus aid.

Interests in the Windward Islands should continue to monitor the
progress of this system. A Hurricane Watch is in effect for
Barbados.


Key Messages

1. There is an increasing risk of wind and rain impacts from
Gonzalo in portions of the southern Windward Islands this weekend.
Hurricane conditions are possible on Barbados where a hurricane
watch has been issued. Interests in the southern Windward Islands
should monitor the progress of Gonzalo and follow any advice given
by local officials.

None.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNING IN EFFECT...

A Hurricane Watch is in effect for...
* Barbados

A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible
within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours before
the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds,
conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous.

Interests in the Windward Islands should monitor the progress of
this system.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gonzalo was
located near latitude 9.9 North, longitude 46.2 West. Gonzalo is
moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h). A general westward
motion at a faster forward speed is expected during the next few
days. On the forecast track, the center of Gonzalo would approach
the Windward Islands late Friday and Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts.
Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and
Gonzalo is expected to become a hurricane on Thursday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
None.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
1100 PM AST Wed Jul 22 2020

A series of earlier microwave passes over Gonzalo reveal a small
eye feature beneath a relatively ragged, Central Dense Overcast
with associated -75.5C cloud tops. Based on the evidence
of the small eye and a blend of the subjective and objective
satellite intensity estimates, the initial intensity is raised to 50
kt for advisory.

The intensity forecast philosophy remains the same as the previous
advisory with a higher than normal degree of uncertainty in the
latter half of the period as the cyclone moves through the
Caribbean. Gonzalo should remain in an environment of relatively
low shear, although the impacts of dry, stable air and large-scale
subsidence could hamper further intensification in a few days. It's
worth noting that the ECMWF Ensemble model is showing a pretty
significant low- to mid-level easterly surge that spreads
just to the north of the cyclone's forecast track and over the
northeastern Caribbean in a couple of days. This predicted event
could possibly curtail strengthening at that time. On the
other hand, with the exception of the ECMWF, the global models now
show the cyclone maintaining tropical storm strength while moving
into the eastern Caribbean. The official intensity forecast is
adjusted slightly above the previous forecast, hedging toward the
HFIP HCCA consensus and the IVCN multi-model intensity aid
solutions. It should also be noted that the small size of this
system makes it susceptible to significant fluctuations in
intensity, both upward and downward.

The initial motion is estimated to be due west, or 270/10 kt.
There is no change to the track forecast philosophy. Gonzalo is on
the south side of a low- to mid-level tropospheric ridge, and this
feature should steer the storm generally westward at a faster
forward speed for the next few days. After that time, a motion
toward the west-northwest is expected. The NHC track forecast is
nudged a bit to the north of the previous one and is close to the
various consensus aids.

Interests in the Windward Islands should continue to monitor the
progress of this system. A Hurricane Watch is now issued for
Barbados.


Key Messages

1. Gonzalo is expected to move near or over the southern Windward
Islands this weekend, and could bring direct impacts from winds and
heavy rainfall. While it is too soon to determine the magnitude and
timing of those impacts, interests in the southern Windward Islands
should monitor the progress of Gonzalo.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
500 PM AST Wed Jul 22 2020

Satellite imagery suggests that Gonzalo's intensification has
paused since the last advisory. The cyclone continues to show a
central dense overcast, and microwave imagery indicates a small
convective ring present under the overcast. However, the CDO has
become a bit ragged, and the other banding seen earlier has
dissipated. Subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates
are in the 45-55 kt range, the the initial intensity remains a
possibly conservative 45 kt.

The initial motion is now 270/12. There is no change to the
track forecast philosophy. Gonzalo is on the south side of a low-
to mid-level subtropical ridge, and this feature should steer the
storm generally westward at a faster forward speed for the next 60
h or so. After that time, a motion toward the west-northwest is
expected. The new NHC forecast track is again little changed from
the previous track, and it lies very close to the consensus models.

The intensity forecast remains very problematic and of low
confidence. On one side, the cyclone structure, light shear
environment,and warm sea surface temperatures suggest strengthening,
possibly even rapidly, should occur. In addition, the SHIPS-based
guidance and the HWRF still make the system a hurricane. On the
other side, the GFS, UKMET, and ECMWF models continue to forecast
the system to weaken to an open wave by 120 h, possibly due to dry
air entrainment and large-scale subsidence, and microwave imagery
suggests that a tongue of drier air is present west and southwest
of the cyclone. The NHC intensity forecast again compromises
between these extremes, showing Gonzalo peaking as a hurricane in
36-48 h, followed by weakening in deference to the GFS/UKMET/ECMWF.
The new intensity forecast is unchanged from the previous forecast.
As noted before, the small size of this system makes it
susceptible to significant fluctuations in intensity, both upward
and downward.

Interests in the Windward Islands should monitor the progress of
this system, as watches could be issued sometime on Thursday.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
1100 AM AST Wed Jul 22 2020

Satellite imagery indicates that the cyclone has become
significantly better organized since the last advisory. Visible
imagery shows a well-defined central dense overcast with a hint of
an eye and an outer convective band in the western semicircle, while
a 09Z GMI microwave overpass showed a well-defined inner convective
ring feature. Various subjective and objective satellite intensity
estimates range from 35-55 kt, so the initial intensity is raised to
a possibly conservative 45 kt.

The initial motion is now 270/10. Gonzalo is on the south side of
a low- to mid-level subtropical ridge, and this feature should
steer the storm generally westward at a faster forward speed for
the next 3 days or so. After that time, a motion toward the
west-northwest is expected. The new NHC forecast track is little
changed from the previous track, and it lies very close to the
consensus models.

The intensity forecast remains very problematic and of low
confidence. On one side, the cyclone has been strengthening quickly
and the good organization suggests additional, and possibly rapid,
strengthening should occur. In addition, the SHIPS-based guidance
and the HWRF make the system a hurricane and keep that intensity
through 120 h. On the other side, the GFS, UKMET, ECMWF, and
Canadian models are not big fans of this system, as they all
forecast it to either be a weak low or dissipated by 120 h, possibly
due to dry air entrainment and large-scale subsidence. The NHC
intensity forecast again compromises between these extremes, showing
Gonzalo peaking as a hurricane in 36-48 h, followed by weakening in
deference to the global models. The new intensity forecast has
significantly higher intensities than the previous forecast for most
of the forecast period based on the recent intensification. As
noted before, the small size of this system makes it susceptible to
significant fluctuations in intensity, both upward and downward.

Interests in the southern Windward Islands should monitor the
progress of this system.

Gonzalo is the earliest 7th named storm on record in the Atlantic
basin, beating Gert of 2005 by 2 days.


Key Messages

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gonzalo was
located near latitude 9.9 North, longitude 43.6 West. Gonzalo is
moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h). A general westward
motion at a faster forward speed is expected during the next few
days.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the
next couple of days, and Gonzalo is expected to become a hurricane
by Thursday.

Gonzalo is a small tropical cyclone, as tropical-storm-force
winds extend outward only up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).

Tropical Depression Seven Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
500 AM AST Wed Jul 22 2020

The cyclone has become a little better organized this morning with
indications of it developing convective banding features. Intensity
estimates based on Dvorak classifications from TAFB and SAB are 30
kt and 35 kt respectively. I prefer to wait for consensus 35-kt
estimates before naming the system, but it seems very likely that we
will have Gonzalo over the tropical Atlantic very soon. The
intensity forecast for this system is subject to more than the usual
degree of uncertainty. Although the cyclone is likely to remain in
an environment of fairly low shear, the influences of dry air and
large-scale subsidence could inhibit strengthening in a few days.
The NHC intensity forecast is similar to the previous one, and calls
for some strengthening during the next couple of days followed by
a leveling off thereafter. This is below the model consensus, but
above the global model predictions which eventually dissipate the
cyclone. It should also be noted that the small size of this
system makes it susceptible to significant fluctuations
in intensity, both upward and downward.

The motion continues a little north of due west or 285/10 kt. A
well-defined subtropical ridge is forecast to remain in place to
the north of the tropical cyclone during the forecast period. The
official forecast, like the previous one, is for a generally
westward motion at a fast forward speed over the forecast periods.
This is in close agreement with the latest dynamical model
consensus.

Interests in the southern Windward Islands should monitor the
progress of this system.

Tropical Depression Seven Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
1100 PM AST Tue Jul 21 2020

The depression remains quite small in size and its cloud pattern
consists of a compact central dense overcast and some convective
bands on its west side. The latest satellite intensity estimates
and a recent ASCAT pass support maintaining the initial intensity
at 30 kt.

The initial motion is west-northwestward at 8 kt. The track
forecast appears fairly straightforward. A strengthening
deep-layer subtropical ridge to the north of the depression should
cause the system to accelerate some toward the west or
west-northwest during the next several days. This steering pattern
should take the cyclone across the eastern Caribbean Islands and
into the Caribbean Sea this weekend. The models are in fairly good
agreement and there is high confidence in the track forecast.

The intensity forecast is much trickier. The models continue to
differ on the evolution of the depression, with the
statistical-dynamical models and some of the hurricane regional
models showing the system becoming a hurricane within the next few
days. Conversely, the global models show little change in strength
and even dissipate the system as it moves across the eastern
Caribbean Sea. The global models seem to indicate that a
combination of the cyclone's fast forward speed and associated
shear, and dry air entrainment should prevent strengthening or lead
to weakening. Given the large amount of uncertainty, only small
changes were made to the previous prediction. This forecast lies a
little below the consensus models giving slightly more weight to
the global model solutions. It should be noted that small systems
like Tropical Depression Seven are often difficult to predict as
they are more likely to fluctuate in strength compared to
larger cyclones.

Tropical Depression Seven Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072020
500 PM AST Tue Jul 21 2020

Satellite imagery and scatterometer data indicate that the low
pressure area located over the central tropical Atlantic has a
well-defined circulation and sufficient organized convection to be
designated a tropical depression. Thus, advisories are being
initiated on Tropical Depression Seven. The initial intensity is
set at 30 kt in best agreement with the subjective satellite
intensity estimate from TAFB.

The initial motion is 300/7. The depression is south of a strong
subtropical ridge over the central Atlantic, and over the next
several days it should turn generally westward and accelerate as it
encounters the easterly flow associated with the ridge. The ECMWF,
GFS, and UKMET models are in reasonably good agreement on their
track forecasts, and the NHC official forecast is close to them and
the various consensus models.

The intensity forecast is lower confidence. The GFS, ECMWF, and
UKMET models forecast the cyclone to be dissipated or be a weak low
by the 120 h point, likely due to to some vertical shear and dry
air entrainment. On the other hand, the SHIPS-based guidance and
the HWRF forecast the system to be a hurricane at 120 h, shrugging
off the shear and dry air. The NHC intensity forecast will be a
compromise between these extremes, showing a peak intensity of 55
kt in 60-72 h followed by some weakening based on the global models.
The cyclone is small in size, and as a result it could change
intensity - both up and down - faster than what is currently
forecast.
