Tropical Depression Eight Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL082017
1100 PM EDT Sat Aug 12 2017

Late afternoon GOES-16 visible satellite images showed that the
circulation associated with the low pressure located northeast of
the Bahamas had become better defined. Since that time, the
night-time microphysics RGB product and other infrared satellite
pictures have continued to show an improvement in the circulation,
and recent ASCAT data show that the system has acquired a well-
defined center. Deep convection is organized in a large curved band,
however the center is located near the western edge of the band.
NOAA buoy 41046 located southeast of the center reported 25 to 30 kt
winds earlier this evening, and the scatterometer data support an
initial wind speed of 30 kt.

The depression is moving north-northwestward or 330/11 kt.
The depression should move north-northwestward to northward
around the western side of a deep-layer ridge over the central
Atlantic through Sunday night. It is expected to reach the
mid-latitude westerlies by late Monday and begin to accelerate
northeastward ahead of a short-wave trough that will be approaching
the northeastern United States. The steering currents are well
established over the western Atlantic and the track guidance is in
good agreement on the forecast scenario. The NHC track forecast lies
near the various consensus aids.

The intensity forecast is more problematic. The system is expected
to traverse warm water and remain in a low-shear environment during
the next day or so, but intrusions of dry mid-level air are likely
to limit strengthening. The statistical guidance and the HWRF favor
more significant intensification than the global models, which
generally do not show much deepening. In deference to the global
models, the NHC forecast is below the consensus, especially later in
the period. The system is likely to become extratropical in 3 to 4
days, and the extratropical portion of the forecast is based on
guidance provided by the NOAA Ocean Prediction Center.


FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 13/0300Z 25.3N 70.3W 30 KT 35 MPH
12H 13/1200Z 27.0N 71.2W 35 KT 40 MPH

Yep, looks like ASCAT confirms a 30 kt tropical depression, now designated as 08L.

Question to the mets here: is it more likely this strengthens more quickly or slowly than forecast based on the current conditions, since the models aren't particularly helpful at the moment?

Did this set a record as the longest time as an invest before being upgraded? Sure seems that way.

Euro once again beats the GFS, though a couple of days ago it dropped development of it for a run or two.

I remember during 2013-14 (as well as Bill in 2015) the Euro would show something in the medium or long range and then drop it, and it not show up again in the models until a day or two before it developed--quite an odd thing but something the model has a history of at times.

The GFS still will not develop this TROPICAL DEPRESSION. :na:

Obviously the GFS has been having some problems this year. I'm not sure the Euro is performing up to par this year either. Models really seem to be struggling this year or perhaps we've come to expect too much by model watching every hour and every run.

I know there is some debate as to how accurate GFS is forecasting UL conditions.
I think there is something more going on.
Looking at the latest 200mb vort, there is a rather large PV streamer / anomaly area directly around 08L to its north and west.
This usually inhibits spin up and convection due to sinking air and UL vorts disrupting and tilting LL vorts.
Yet, 08L continues to develop.
Towers have been firing all night.

Mid-level moisture conditions not all that good to develop a warm core.
Will be very interesting to see if it really does.

At least the Euro has been performing better within 5-7 day range than the GFS, 2 storms in the western Atlantic Basin in a row that the GFS has failed to develop within its 5 day range. The Euro is still struggling a little bit in its 7-10 day range.

Tropical Depression Eight Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL082017
1100 AM EDT Sun Aug 13 2017

The overall organization of the depression has changed little this
morning. Visible satellite imagery and NOAA buoy data indicate
that center is located near the northwestern edge of the area of
convective banding. In fact, nearly all of the convective banding
is located over the eastern and southeastern portions of the
circulation. The initial intensity remains 30 kt, which is
supported by subjective Dvorak T-numbers of 2.0 from both TAFB and
SAB.

The depression is moving north-northwestward or 335/11 kt. The
track forecast reasoning remains unchanged. The depression is
forecast to move north-northwestward to northward around the western
portion of a deep-layer subtropical ridge during the next day or
so. After that time, the cyclone is expected to turn northeastward
ahead of a shortwave trough that will be approaching the
northeastern United States. As the southwesterly flow increases
over the western Atlantic ahead of the trough by 72 hours, the
cyclone should begin to accelerate northeastward. The track
guidance is once again in excellent agreement, and only a slight
westward adjustment from the previous forecast was required.

The depression is currently over warm water and within a low
shear environment, but the mid-level atmosphere is relatively dry.
These conditions should allow some modest strengthening during the
next day or so. Vertical shear is forecast to increase by late
Monday, and increase further in 2 to 3 days, which should put an
end to any additional intensification. The system is forecast to
become extratropical in 3 to 4 days, but if it does not strengthen
it could be absorbed by an approaching trough off the Mid-Atlantic
and northeastern U.S. in a few days. The latter portion of the
forecast continues to be based on guidance provided by the NOAA
Ocean Prediction Center.

CMC destroyed them both. Day after day after day for over a week. Complete destruction and burial.

It might be too far west in the 00z run, but it put it in the right general area and never waivered on development.

CMC had it stronger and a bit farther east last Sunday 08/06/17 at 00z (so Saturday a week ago at 7pm Central). Show me a model that had anything close to this. For the Euro Huggers or the GFS defenders, your models were eliminated by the Canadian. Yeah, the Canadian. We knew last year there were some big tweaks, and there was a storm or two it handled well. But this says it all. European came in second of the 3 major globals. It did then didn't then did then didn't then did again show development. But when it did, it was close. GFS was the worst.

Try to keep more about the model output and less about the model wars.

I am a biased, enthusiastic and aggressive tropical cyclone forecaster, and normally would have bit on forecasting TD8 to become a hurricane. It is because of the GFS that I have laid up on making this potential mistake. The GFS has seemingly forecasted the inhibiting factors well, while the EURO has seemingly forecasted the conducive factors well. A blend of the two is usually the best bet. With a blend of the other major models breaking ties.
