ATL: BRET - Remnants - Discussion
Moderator: S2k Moderators
Looks surprisingly unimpressive on the WV there, not all that surprising given the amount of dry air still dotted to the NW/W of the system. Still no doubts about its strengthening over the past day.
Cool system either way!

Cool image, not the strongest of eyewalls and not closed but still a little stronger then was expected even if its peaked out at 55-60kts...

Re: ATL: BRET - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Bret looks impressive in microwave and the last visibles, but looks very unimpressive in IR and WV as some of you have mentioned. Let's see if D-max can strengthen it a little bit more or it could have peaked already.

Really weakening this evening. Very little convection.

Yes, no question about it.
May see some baroclinic enhancement when he gets picked up, but it look like he reached his peak as a tropical system this afternoon.

Re: ATL: BRET - Tropical Storm - Discussion
There was a lot of dry air in the southern part of that ridge which really halted development overnight. Looks like some moisture from the north getting pulled back in again this morning. Hope the ridge doesn't build too early and stall Brets exit out to sea.

Much weaker looking system now, though the structure still looks ok and if it can get some better convective coverage it could yet strengthen but I think we've seen the peak of Bret.

Re:
NDG wrote:00z euro shows Bret to stay put in the area through tomorrow night.
By Tuesday night it shows the low level center to be east of Jacksonville start weakening while the mid level vorticity stays behind.
By Wednesday night it shows that it continues to weaken as it nears strong 30-40 knt NE shear east of the Carolinas.
ECMWF's run from a couple of nights ago was off on the timing by a good 12 hrs or so but was almost spot on by forecasting Brett to start weakening as it neared the 30th latitude and beyond.

TROPICAL STORM BRET DISCUSSION NUMBER 7
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL022011
500 AM EDT TUE JUL 19 2011
DEEP CONVECTION HAS ALL BUT DISAPPEARED NEAR THE CENTER OF BRET IN
THE PAST FEW HOURS...LIKELY DUE TO THE ENTRAINMENT OF DRY AIR INTO
THE CYCLONE CORE AS SEEN IN SATELLITE IMAGERY AND DEWPOINT DATA
FROM THE AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT. THE
INITIAL INTENSITY IS LOWERED TO 45 KT BASED ON A 850-MB FLIGHT-
LEVEL WIND MAXIMUM OF 55 KT AND A PEAK SFMR WIND OF 43 KT. THE
DRIER ENVIRONMENT AND A FORECAST OF INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR RESTRENGTHENING...AND THE INTENSITY GUIDANCE
SHOWS BRET SLOWLY WEAKENING FROM THIS POINT FORWARD. THE NEW NHC
FORECAST FOLLOWS THIS REASONING AND SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE THROUGH 12
HOURS FOLLOWED BY GRADUAL WEAKENING UNTIL DISSIPATION IN ABOUT 96
HOURS...IN BEST AGREEMENT WITH THE LGEM. HOWEVER...IF DEEP
CONVECTION DOES NOT RETURN...BRET COULD WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE MORE
QUICKLY THAN INDICATED HERE.
AIRCRAFT FIXES SUGGEST THAT THE LONG-TERM INITIAL MOTION IS TOWARD
THE NORTH-NORTHEAST OR 025 DEGREES AT AROUND 6 KT...A LITTLE TO THE
LEFT OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST TRACK. OVERALL...THE TRACK FORECAST
REASONING REMAINS UNCHANGED AS BRET WILL GRADUALLY ACCELERATE TOWARD
THE NORTHEAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS A MID-LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDS TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE CYCLONE. THROUGH 48 HOURS...THE
GUIDANCE IS TIGHTLY CLUSTERED AND THE NEW OFFICIAL FORECAST HAS
BEEN ADJUSTED A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF THE PREVIOUS ONE TO ACCOUNT
FOR THE INITIAL POSITION AND MOTION. AT 72 HOURS A MORE SUBSTANTIAL
ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE...TO THE LEFT OF AND SLOWER THAN THE PREVIOUS
NHC FORECAST...TRENDING TOWARD THE NEW MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS.
