HURRICANE NORBERT DISCUSSION NUMBER 16
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP142014
200 AM PDT SAT SEP 06 2014

Norbert continued to rapidly intensify through about 06Z. Since
then, the hurricane appears to have peaked in intensity, with the
eye becoming less distinct and the cold cloud tops in the eyewall
becoming asymmetric. Satellite intensity estimates at 06Z were 115
kt from TAFB and 102 kt from SAB, while the CIMMS ADT estimates
peaked at 110 kt. Based on these data, the initial intensity is
increased to 105 kt as a compromise between these estimates and the
decay of the cloud pattern since 06Z.

The initial motion is now 315/7. The track forecast reasoning
remains unchanged, as Norbert will be steered around the western
periphery of a mid-level ridge centered over the southern United
States through 48 hours. After that time, the ridge weakens as a
mid-latitude trough moves into the U.S. West Coast, which should
result in a weakening of the steering currents. The track guidance
has come into better agreement that Norbert should move
northeastward or eastward after 72 hours, with several of the models
showing the remnants making landfall over the northern portion of
the Baja California peninsula. The new forecast track reflects this
change in the guidance by showing an northeastward and eastward
drift after 72 hours. The new forecast track is a little to the
right of the center of the guidance envelope through 48 hours, and
after that it is slower than the consensus model TVCE.

The forecast track takes Norbert over steadily decreasing sea
surface temperatures. The cyclone should thus weaken through the
forecast period. Despite the higher initial intensity compared to
6 hours ago, the guidance is in good agreement that Norbert should
decay into a remnant low in about 3 days. The new intensity
forecast is increased from that of the previous forecast through 36
hours, and then is similar to the previous forecast. The new
forecast is in best agreement with the LGEM model.

Moisture from the remnants of Dolly and the Pacific ITCZ is being
advected northward by the outer circulation of Norbert across
northern Mexico and into the southwestern United States. This could
result in heavy rains and life-threatening flash flooding in these
areas during the next few days. Please see information from your
local weather office for more details.

Wow, I lost count of how many majors the EPAC has had so far this season, when conditions are meant to be ripe they are ripe for just about any storm that has formed so far this season to strengthen more than forecasted.
But as expected it looks Norbert is now starting to reach the cooler SSTs and we have seen its peak last night.

Agreed it probably peaked at 110 kt at 0600Z. Reality is setting back in though...I would go with 100 kt at synoptic time and 95 kt for the advisory.

HURRICANE NORBERT DISCUSSION NUMBER 17
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP142014
800 AM PDT SAT SEP 06 2014

First visible images reveal a pinhole eye surrounded by very deep
convection. Nevertheless, after a rapid intensification observed on
satellite last night, objective and subjective Dvorak T-numbers are
decreasing, and only support an initial intensity of 100 kt. A
portion of the circulation is already reaching cooler waters and
moving into a more stable environment. This should result in a
gradual weakening during the next 24 hours, with a faster rate of
weakening thereafter. Norbert is expected to become a remnant low
over the cold waters just west of the northern Baja California
peninsula in 3 days or so.

The best estimate of the initial motion is toward the northwest or
310 degrees at 7 knots. Norbert is forecast to be steered by the
flow around the southwestern periphery of a mid-level ridge
centered over the southwestern United States. In a 48 hours, the
cyclone will reach the base of the mid-latitude westerlies and
will begin to move northward and then northeastward. By then,
Norbert is forecast to be a shallow cyclone, moving little
in a weak low-level flow. There is high confidence in the short-
term track forecast since there is a good guidance agreement. Beyond
3 days, global models either forecast Norbert to dissipate in situ
near the west coast of the northern Baja California peninsula or
continue to move the system eastward as a weak low or a trough. The
NHC prefers the former global model solution.

Moisture from the remnants of Dolly and the Pacific ITCZ is being
advected northward by the outer circulation of Norbert across
northern Mexico and into the southwestern United States. This could
result in heavy rains and life-threatening flash flooding in these
areas during the next few days. Please see information from your
local weather office for more details.

HURRICANE NORBERT DISCUSSION NUMBER 18
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP142014
200 PM PDT SAT SEP 06 2014

The eye continues to be evident on visible images, but the
convection is not as deep as it was earlier. In fact, the strongest
convection is limited to the southern semicircle where the ocean is
still warm. Dvorak T-numbers have continued to decrease, and based
on blend of these estimates, the initial intensity has been lowered
to 90 kt. The northern portion of the circulation is already
reaching cooler waters and moving into a more stable environment.
This should result in steady or even rapid weakening during the next
24 hours, with a slower rate of weakening thereafter as the
circulation gradually spins down. Norbert is expected to become a
remnant low over the cold waters just west of the northern Baja
California peninsula in 3 days or so.

Norbert has been moving toward the northwest or 305 degrees at 7
knots. It is not necessary to make any significant adjustment to the
previous forecast track since the global models are not showing any
changes in the steering flow. As indicated earlier, Norbert is
forecast to move with the flow around the southwestern periphery of
a mid-level ridge centered over the southwestern United States. In
48 hours, the cyclone will reach the base of the mid-latitude
westerlies and begin to move northward and then northeastward. By
then, Norbert is forecast to be a shallow cyclone and will be moving
little in a weak low-level flow. The NHC forecast follows the trend
indicated by the multi-model consensus.

Moisture from the remnants of Dolly and the Pacific ITCZ is being
advected northward by the outer circulation of Norbert across
northern Mexico and into the southwestern United States. This could
result in heavy rains and life-threatening flash flooding in these
areas during the next few days. Please see information from your
local weather office for more details.

HURRICANE NORBERT DISCUSSION NUMBER 19
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP142014
800 PM PDT SAT SEP 06 2014

The cloud pattern of Norbert has degraded significantly over the
past few hours. The eye is no longer apparent, and in fact there is
no deep convection north of the center where SSTs are below 26C.
Satellite intensity estimates continue to decrease, and the initial
intensity of 75 kt is based on the latest UW-CIMSS ADT estimate and
the Dvorak estimate from SAB. Rapid weakening is expected to
continue during the next 24 hours, as the cyclone will move over
colder waters and into a drier and more stable environment. Norbert
should then weaken more slowly to remnant low status in 2 to 3 days
over the cold waters west of the northern Baja California peninsula.
The new NHC intensity forecast is close the latest IVCN multi-model
consensus.

Norbert has jogged a bit to the left over the past few hours, with
an initial motion estimate of 300/07. The synoptic reasoning for the
track forecast remains unchanged. Norbert will be steered around the
southwestern periphery of a mid-level ridge centered over the
southwestern United States, which should result in a turn toward the
north-northwest by 24 hours. By 48 hours, Norbert should turn
northward as it moves into a break in the ridge at the base of a
mid-latitude trough off the U.S. West Coast. A slow northeastward
motion is shown late in the period as the shallow cyclone will be
embedded in weak low-level flow. The new NHC track is similar to the
previous one adjusted for the initial position and motion.

The 34-kt wind radii have been adjusted inward based on data from a
recent ASCAT-B pass.

Moisture from the remnants of Dolly and the Pacific ITCZ is being
advected northward by the outer circulation of Norbert across
northern Mexico and into the southwestern United States. This could
result in heavy rains and life-threatening flash flooding in these
areas during the next few days. Please see information from your
local weather office for more details.

If San Diego gets 4 sprinkles out of the left overs of Norbert is going to be a lot. People in Social Media that were calling for a tropical storm to affect SoCal I am wondering what they have to say to their followers, if they have any left, maybe blame the GFS, lol.

Downgraded to TS.

TROPICAL STORM NORBERT DISCUSSION NUMBER 21
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP142014
800 AM PDT SUN SEP 07 2014

Deep convection has been decreasing quickly during the last several
hours, and only a small area of cold cloud tops remains to the
south of the center. Satellite intensity estimates are falling, and
the initial wind speed is lowered to 50 kt using an average of the
Dvorak CI-numbers from TAFB, SAB, and UW-CIMSS. The quick weakening
of Norbert is due to the influence of cool waters of around 25 C and
a dry stable air mass. These factors will become even more
unfavorable along the expected track of Norbert, and should cause
the cyclone to degenerate to a remnant low in about 24 hours, or
maybe even sooner. Once Norbert becomes a remnant low, the cyclone
is expected to slowly spin down and then open into a trough in about
4 days. The NHC intensity forecast is lower than the previous one,
mainly due to the observed rate of weakening.

Norbert is still moving west-northwestward, but it is expected to
turn toward the northwest and then north during the next day or so
when it feels the influence of a deep-layer trough west of
California. A slow down and turn toward the northeast or east is
expected after that time when the shallow system is steered by the
low-level flow toward the Baja California peninsula. No significant
change was made to the previous track forecast, and it lies close to
the GFS/ECMWF consensus.

Although the system is weakening quickly, tropical moisture
associated with Norbert and the Pacific ITCZ will continue to
spread northward across northern Mexico and the southwestern United
States. This could result in heavy rains and life-threatening flash
flooding in these area during the next day or two. Please see
information from your local weather office for more details.

That's why I was waiting and watching before saying much. I didn't understand why the media was picking up on it so soon.
