Re: ATL: HENRI - Tropical Storm - Discussion Update= First mission by Air Force departs at 11 AM EDT
This is taking quite a hit from shear, as expected. I agree with wxman that this is probably closer to 50 kt now, but we’ll know for certain in a few hours.
The LLC is becoming exposed on visible satellite imagery. Unlikely this completely decouples, however.

Nothing unexpected. The HWRF yesterday did a pretty good job portraying Henri's appearance today due to shear. At one point I think the HWRF did completely decouple the system.

Re: ATL: HENRI - Tropical Storm - Discussion
From the 11 AM discussion:
Key Messages:
1. Henri is forecast to be near the northeast coast of the U.S.
on Sunday and Monday, and the risks of storm surge, wind, and rain
impacts in portions of southern New England and eastern Long Island
are increasing. Watches will likely be required for portions of
this area on Friday.
2. Swells from Henri will begin to reach much of the east coast of
the U.S. and Atlantic Canada by the end of the week and continue
through the weekend. These swells could cause life-threatening surf
and rip currents.

Re: ATL: HENRI - Tropical Storm - Discussion
It only has one more day of the shear. Storms that buck the shear moving in a forced west direction almost always bomb out when the shear lessens. I expect that will happen in this case. Dont write this off yet by any means.
Looking at HRVS the shear vector is going to subside in around 6 hours I'd guess since you can see in about a degree and a half of longitude the cloud tops are blowing west more with the outflow

Then watch the Media histeria begin as if the NE US has never gotten hit by hurricane before.
In defense of all us weather weenies here in SNE…it’s been 30 years and we seldom get to track a tropical entity possibly threatening us.
My point was that is going to be treated like it has never happened before, just my bet, but it may not

It takes a lot for a hurricane to make it that way, not only warmer waters but special weather pattern and ridges perfectly in place for hurricanes to maket it that way straight from the south or SE otherwise they track over New England inland from the SW around the Bermuda ridge but of course in a much weaker state.

AF304 has lifted off from Florida. Fingers crossed it doesn’t have any transmission blackouts.

Re: ATL: HENRI - Tropical Storm - Discussion
The latest ASCAT pass suggests maximum sustained winds of only around 35-40 kt. We'll have to see what recon finds. ASCAT does tend to have a low bias though.

When I calculate how long ago something has been I somehow always have this mental image that it's still 2012ish so 1991 only feels ~23 years ago. I'm only 22, but I already feel like I'm getting old

Also, Henri is fighting off 30-35 knot Northerly Wind Shear impressively.

Is anyone else having issues with loading most of the recon graphics for the AF304 flight on Tropical Tidbits?

Recon is at operational altitude, and the graphics on TT are finally loading.
I’ll predict they find a 45-50 kt/998-1003mb TS.

999.9mb extrapolated. My pressure range was right. Now to see how strong the peak winds are. The LLC is also still underneath deep convection, albeit close to the northern edge.

Re: ATL: HENRI - Tropical Storm - Discussion
No TS wind found NW of center. Pressure up to 1000mb. Shear will be peaking this afternoon/evening then decreasing tomorrow afternoon. This is not a 60kt TS, same as it was identified as yesterday. One or both of those values are wrong.

Re: ATL: HENRI - Tropical Storm - Discussion
50 knots, MSLP 1000mb looks right to me.
Henri is about to leave the area of peak shear, so I think now will be the worst it gets in terms of appearance.
Recon data should help the 18z set tremendously.
