HH Hurricane Florence Forecast # Special Advisory 13

Tropical Storm Florence HH Advisory 1
Tropical Storm Florence is a little less than a thousand miles east of the Lesser Antilles. General movement is W at 12 MPH, and I expect that to pick up and turn a little more north in 24 hours. Winds are currently at 35 KT, or 40 MPH, and the pressure is at 1005 MB. The winds are not concentrated towards the center at this time. Florence is currently enduring strong shear, so no development is forecasted in the next 36 hours. However, rapid development is possible after 36 hours when the shear relaxes. Another result of the shear is that the thunderstorm activity is displaced from the center. My track is slightly more south than the NHC track. I expect Florence to take more of a West or West-North-West path in the 5 days due to a strong ridge north of Florence. On my track, the center of Florence should be around 250 miles north of Puerto Rico in 4 days and towards the Central Bahamas in 5 days.
INITIAL 35KT
12HR 35KT
24HR 40KT
48HR 50KT
72HR 60KT
USE WITH CAUTION:
96HR 75KT
120HR 90KT

i think that is is too early to tell, but give it a few days, and then i can tell you. right now, everyone from the keys to the carolinas have to watch this now.
interesting so you are obviously suggesting a more West track here......

REAL unlikely.
She would have to go either through Florida or through the Straits which with the recurvature seems highly unlikely.
This one sure looks like it WILL NOT be a GOM'er.

Tropical Storm Florence HH Advisory 2
Florence continues to become better organized as it nears the Caribbean.
Tropical Storm Florence continues to strengthen over the Atlantic, with winds of 40KT, or 45 MPH currently. Its pressure has also lowered from 1005 MB to 1003 MB. Movement, as forecasted, has moved a bit more north, and the storm is now headed WNW at 12 MPH. This general motion is expected to continue for the next 2-3 days.
A ridge of high pressure is building over Florence. Most of the models forecast a weakness in the ridge now, so we have changed our forecast based on that. For our new cone, we have made little change in the first 2 days, but have nudged it a little more north on days Three, Four and Five. We have also slowed down the timing for Florence. Are cone now takes Florence to about 280-300 Miles above Puerto Rico at day 3, and close to the Bahamas on day 5. Intensity wise, the forecast is about the same, showing a Cat 1 above of Puerto Rico and a Cat 2 or 3 Entering the Bahamas. We expect the shear over Florence to continue for another 24 hours, allowing only limited strengthening. After then, it will be able to intensify into a hurricane. Please note that intensity forecasts for this advisory are very unreliable for 72 hours and beyond at the moment. Also note that even though Florida is now out of the main cone, we are still over a week away from any kind of landfall, so anywhere from Florida to the Carolinas need to closely watch the progress of Florence as it inches closer to us.

Florence has not strengthened at all over the last few hours, although organization has continued. The wind field has expanded to a 145 Mile radius, and it continues to expand. Florence continues to move WNW at 12 MPH, and we expect that to persist for 2-3 more days, before turning a little more north. South Carolina seems like the most likely target for a landfall right now. Our track is currently more south than the NHC track and doesnt forecast that big of a turn to the north. Recon Flights are recommended for Thursday and Friday.
