I like it too. But I think this will be its last advisory as a tropical storm, because convection is really weak right now and waters are very cold.


Agreed. I think they'll make it post-tropical at 3z.

Okay, ATCF keeps this at 35 knts: This is Irwin 11 all over again.

Douglas is a long-lived storm which only contributed 2.9 units to the ACE. :lol: This is different compared to typhoon Neoguri, which formed many days after TS Douglas formed, wherein Neoguri already contributed more than 2.4 units to the ACE.

They probably kept it as a tropical storm because of the new burst of convection over the center and to the east of it. That convective burst is strange considering the water temperatures are sub 24 degrees Celsius and it is diurnal minimum.

TROPICAL STORM DOUGLAS DISCUSSION NUMBER 26
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP042014
800 PM PDT FRI JUL 04 2014

Douglas is hanging on as a tropical storm. After being devoid of
deep convection for much of the day, a small area has redeveloped to
the northeast of the center. The initial wind speed is held at 35
kt based on earlier scatterometer data and a Dvorak pattern
T-number of 2.5 from TAFB. Douglas is currently over cold 23C
waters and in a stable airmass. These hostile conditions should
cause weakening, and the cyclone is forecast to become a remnant low
by 24 hours. This is delayed slightly from the previous forecast.

The storm is moving northwestward at about 6 kt. A low- to
mid-level ridge to the northeast of Douglas should keep the system
on a steady northwestward path until it dissipates in a few days.
The track forecast is nudged to the north of the previous one, and
is very near the multi-model consensus TVCE.

Wind shear is low. Dry air not a factor due to the low shear. (Somewhat) Favorable MJO. Above average SST's. It's not in that hostile conditions aside from the cool SST's.

Too bad it was no cane'. Would've made a nice contribution to the ACE.

I hope Douglas outlives Arthur as a tropical system. :lol: That would be a nice feat even if it failed to become a hurricane...

TROPICAL DEPRESSION DOUGLAS DISCUSSION NUMBER 27
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP042014
200 AM PDT SAT JUL 05 2014

Douglas has once again lost its deep convection, likely now for the
final time. The small patch of showers and thunderstorms dissipated
around 03Z and Dvorak intensity analyses from SAB and TAFB suggest
that Douglas has weakened to a tropical depression. With expected
continued cool water and a stable atmosphere along its track, the
cyclone should become a remnant low shortly.

The depression is moving northwestward at 8 kt. A low to
mid-level subtropical ridge to its northeast will continue to
steer Douglas toward the northwest or west-northwest at a slightly
slower speed for the next two days until dissipation. The track
forecast is again nudged to the north of the previous advisory and
is based upon the multi-model consensus TVCE.


FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 05/0900Z 23.1N 119.6W 30 KT 35 MPH

POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE DOUGLAS DISCUSSION NUMBER 28
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP042014
800 AM PDT SAT JUL 05 2014

Douglas remains devoid of deep convection, and since the sea
surface temperatures are below 22 deg C, there is little likelihood
of the system making a comeback. Therefore the system is being
declared a remnant low, and this is the last advisory. The large
circulation has been slow to spin down, but gradual weakening is
anticipated with the cyclone expected to dissipate in about 72
hours.

The initial motion continues northwestward at about 8 kt.
Post-tropical cyclone Douglas should continue to be steered by the
flow on the south side of a low- to mid-level subtropical ridge.
The track guidance generally shows a turn toward the west-northwest
with a slight decrease in forward speed over the next couple of
days, and so does the official forecast.

for additional information on the remnant low of Douglas, please see
high seas forecasts issued by the national weather service...under
awips header nfdhsfepi and wmo header fzpn01 kwbc.

I'm posting this quote from Page One because it's nice to be reminded that intensity models can sometimes fail quite miserably. :lol:
