TROPICAL DEPRESSION GRACE DISCUSSION NUMBER 15
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL072015
1100 PM AST TUE SEP 08 2015

Grace continues to produce disorganized bursts of convection near
and south of the low-level center, and a recent ASCAT-B overpass
shows that the cyclone still has a closed circulation. The initial
intensity remains 30 kt based on satellite intensity estimates from
TAFB and SAB, although the scatterometer data suggests this could be
a little generous. The cyclone is likely to produce intermittent
bursts of convection over the next day or two. However, it is
moving through an environment of dry mid-level air and westerly
vertical shear that is forecast to increase to 25-30 kt by 72
hours - a combination that should cause further weakening. The new
intensity forecast is unchanged from the previous forecast, calling
for Grace to become a remnant low in about 36 hours and to dissipate
completely after 72 hours. There is a possibility, supported by most
of the global models, that Grace could degenerate into an open wave
before 72 hours.

The initial motion remains 275/16 kt. A low- to mid-level
subtropical ridge should continue to steer Grace or its remnants
quickly westward until the system dissipates. The new forecast
track is again an update of the previous track and lies near the
center of the tightly clustered guidance envelope.

Winds only 20-25kts, not sure why the 11pm wasn't lowered. Confirms the circulation is still closed though.

This thing is dead. Not even a proper wave.

Really weak convective flare-up tonight. I think she's just about done for.

In my opinion, I think for anything to stand a chance this year it MUST form in either the Bahamas or the the Gulf of Mexico. If it forms anywhere else, it doesn't stand a chance.

Even the Bahamas region and especially the GoM are unfavorable for development. Wind Shear is all over the basin everywhere you look! The only areas that might have some favorable conditions are in the MDR and portions of the Subtropical Atlantic, but even they are not the most favorable they can be.

REMNANTS OF GRACE DISCUSSION NUMBER 17
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL072015
1100 AM AST WED SEP 09 2015

Data from the Rapidscat instrument onboard the International Space
Station showed that there were no longer any westerly surface winds
in Grace. This was confirmed by animation of high-resolution
visible imagery that showed no westerly low-cloud motions. Since
Grace has opened up into a wave, this is the last advisory.

The wave should continue moving rapidly toward the west, and it
could produce some gusty winds and showers over portions of the
Lesser Antilles within a couple of days.

Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas
Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS
header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and available on the Web
at http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 09/1500Z 14.5N 49.0W 25 KT 30 MPH...REMNANTS
12H 10/0000Z...DISSIPATED

Yea, maybe you are right........Bring on 2016!!! In my opinion, it's going to be night and day between this year and next year, just watch :)

This is dead for now but in about 5 days it may have a chance but it depends on the shear as it could be north of the big islands

Not much in the way of pressure drop but it still seems to have a weak circulation.

The 0Z Thu Euro, like it did in prior runs, has the remnants of Grace making it to the central GOM on 9/17.
