TROPICAL STORM FLORENCE DISCUSSION NUMBER 6
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL062012
500 AM AST SUN AUG 05 2012

THE STRUCTURE OF FLORENCE HAS EVOLVED OVERNIGHT FROM A CENTRAL DENSE
OVERCAST TO MORE OF A SHEAR PATTERN...WITH THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE DEEP
CONVECTION. THIS CHANGE IN STRUCTURE IS LIKELY THE RESULT OF
MODERATE SOUTHEASTELY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. DESPITE THE STRUCTURAL
CHANGES...DVORAK T-NUMBERS AT 0600 UTC WERE ESSENTIALLY THE
SAME AS BEFORE...THEREFORE...THE INITIAL WIND SPEED REMAINS 50 KT.

FLORENCE COULD GAIN SOME STRENGTH OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS...
HOWEVER...SIGNIFICANT INTENSIFICATION APPEARS UNLIKELY AS THE STORM
IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER MARGINALLY WARM WATERS AND IN A FAIRLY
STABLE AIRMASS. THE DUST PRODUCT IMAGERY FROM THE GOES-R PROVING
GROUND SHOWS SOME DRY AIR WRAPPING AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE
CIRCULATION...AND GFS AND ECMWF MODEL VERTICAL CROSS SECTIONS
SUGGEST THAT THIS DRY AIR WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE STORM DURING
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE SHIPS MODEL SHOWS A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE
IN WESTERLY SHEAR BY TUESDAY...AT WHICH TIME STEADY WEAKENING IS
ANTICIPATED. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE
AND SHOWS A SLIGHT INCREASE IN STRENGTH FOR THE NEXT DAY OR
TWO...FOLLOWED BY STEADY WEAKENING DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED
INCREASE IN SHEAR.

THE CYCLONE HAS BEEN ON A STEADY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD PATH AT ABOUT 13
KT FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS. THE DYNAMICAL MODELS INSIST THAT FLORENCE
WILL BEND TO THE WEST DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS A LOW- TO
MID-LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS WESTWARD TO THE NORTH OF THE TROPICAL STORM.
THE LATEST GUIDANCE HAS SHIFTED SOUTHWARD...AND THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST HAS BEEN NUDGED IN THAT DIRECTION. HOWEVER...THE NHC
FORECAST LIES ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE AS MOST
OF THE MODELS HAVE SHOWN A SOUTHWARD TRACK BIAS UP TO THIS POINT.

TROPICAL STORM FLORENCE DISCUSSION NUMBER 7
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL062012
1100 AM AST SUN AUG 05 2012

VISIBLE IMAGES SUGGEST THAT SOUTHEASTERLY SHEAR HAS TAKEN A TOLL ON
THE STRUCTURE OF FLORENCE. THE CENTER APPEARS TO BE ON THE EDGE OF
A WEAKENING AREA OF CONVECTION...WITH SOME DEGRADATION NOTED ON
MICROWAVE IMAGES. A BLEND OF THE MOST RECENT ESTIMATES STILL GIVES
A CURRENT WIND SPEED OF 50 KT...BUT THIS COULD BE GENEROUS. THERE
HAS BEEN A CHANGE WITH THE INTENSITY GUIDANCE...WITH NONE OF THE
MODELS SHOWING ANY SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHENING. PERHAPS THIS IS
BECAUSE OF A SLIGHTLY DRIER AND MORE SHEARED ENVIRONMENT THAN WAS
EXPECTED YESTERDAY. IN ANY EVENT...GLOBAL MODELS SHOW FLORENCE
MOVING DEEPER INTO THE DRY AIR FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. ALTHOUGH
SSTS SHOULD GRADUALLY BE RISING...STRONGER SHEAR IS LIKELY WITHIN
48 HOURS DUE TO A LARGE MID-OCEANIC TROUGH. THESE CONDITIONS
SHOULD GENERALLY CAUSE WEAKENING OF THE CYCLONE...AND THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST IS REDUCED FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE. THE NHC PREDICTION IS
PRIMARILY BASED ON A BLEND OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND THE
INTENSITY CONSENSUS. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THIS SYSTEM
BECAME A REMNANT LOW FASTER THAN WHAT WAS INDICATED BELOW GIVEN THE
MARGINAL CONDITIONS.

MICROWAVE AND CONVENTIONAL IMAGES SHOW THAT FLORENCE HAS TURNED
WESTWARD AT ABOUT 12 KT AS PREVIOUSLY FORECAST. A FASTER WESTWARD
MOTION OF THE CYCLONE IS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WHILE
A RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE EAST-CENTRAL ATLANTIC. AFTER THAT TIME...A
WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE SHOULD ALLOW A TRACK MORE TO THE WEST-
NORTHWEST...WHICH WOULD BRING FLORENCE A FEW HUNDRED MILES TO THE
NORTHEAST OF THE LESSER ANTILLES. WHILE THE ECMWF IS A SOUTHERN
OUTLIER...THE REST OF THE GUIDANCE HAS COME INTO VERY GOOD
AGREEMENT ON THE PATH OF THE STORM. THE LATEST NHC TRACK FORECAST
IS SHIFTED TO THE SOUTH AT ALL FORECAST TIMES...BUT REMAINS ON THE
NORTHERN SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE THROUGH DAY 3.

TROPICAL STORM FLORENCE DISCUSSION NUMBER 8
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL062012
500 PM AST SUN AUG 05 2012

CONVECTION HAS FALLEN APART NEAR FLORENCE...WITH ONLY SOME DEBRIS
CLOUDS REMAINING. INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE DROPPING...AND THE WIND
SPEED IS CONSERVATIVELY LOWERED TO 45 KT. DESPITE THE RECENT
DECAY...MOST OF THE GUIDANCE IS HANGING ONTO THE TROPICAL CYCLONE
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS IN RATHER MARGINAL ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS. THE SHIPS/LGEM MODELS CONTINUE TO BE HIGHER THAN THE
GFDL/HWRF GUIDANCE...ALTHOUGH THE FORMER CLUSTER IS LOWER THAN
BEFORE. THE NHC INTENSITY FORECAST IS AGAIN REDUCED FROM THE
PREVIOUS ONE...AND GENERALLY LIES NEAR OR BELOW THE INTENSITY
CONSENSUS. THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A REMNANT LOW BY
DAY 3...AND IF CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE...IT COULD HAPPEN A LOT
SOONER.

FLORENCE APPEARS TO BE MOVING NEARLY DUE WEST AT ABOUT 12 KT. THIS
MOTION AT A LITTLE FASTER PACE IS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS WHILE A RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC. A TRACK
TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST IS FORECAST AFTER THAT TIME AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES ALONG THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE RIDGE. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE
SOME SPEED DIFFERENCES...THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD
AGREEMENT. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS ADJUSTED ONLY SLIGHTLY
SOUTHWARD...AND IS A BIT SLOWER THAN THE HFIP MODEL CONSENSUS.

ABC News saying she could become a cane today...doubt it. http://abcnews.go.com/US/tropical-storm ... d=16933398

You seem to find the worst of the mainstream media's inaccurate statements on tropical cyclones. Just imagine people actually believing it *shivers*.

The chances of Flo going out to sea without affecting landmass has just gone down considerably today, now it will float across the ocean as a remnant low or open wave until reaching more favorable conditions near landmass.

TROPICAL STORM FLORENCE DISCUSSION NUMBER 9
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL062012
1100 PM AST SUN AUG 05 2012

FLORENCE HAD BEEN DEVOID OF DEEP CONVECTION FOR A WHILE UNTIL A
BURST OF DISORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS FORMED WELL SOUTHWEST OF THE
CENTER IN THE PAST FEW HOURS. EUMETSAT RGB SATELLITE IMAGERY
CONTINUES TO SHOW A LARGE MASS OF SAHARAN AIR WRAPPING AROUND THE
TROPICAL CYCLONE CIRCULATION. THE DRY AIR...COMBINED WITH THE
EFFECTS OF SOME EASTERLY SHEAR AND ONLY MARGINALLY WARM WATERS...
HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR FLORENCE TO MAINTAIN ANY SIGNIFICANT
CONVECTION. DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES CONTINUE TO DECREASE...AND
THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS LOWERED TO 35 KT BASED ON A BLEND OF
DVORAK T- AND CI-NUMBERS FROM TAFB.

EVEN THOUGH THE STORM WILL BE MOVING INTO WARMER WATERS DURING THE
NEXT FEW DAYS...DRY AIR WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE NEAR-STORM
ENVIRONMENT. WESTERLY VERTICAL SHEAR IS ALSO FORECAST TO INCREASE
OVER FLORENCE AS THE CYCLONE ENCOUNTERS A PRONOUNCED UPPER-LEVEL
TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC. THE OFFICIAL NHC FORECAST IS
SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE...CALLING FOR FLORENCE TO DEGENERATE
INTO A REMNANT LOW IN 72 HOURS. THIS FORECAST AGREES WELL WITH THE
LATEST DYNAMICAL INTENSITY GUIDANCE AND GLOBAL MODELS...THE LATTER
OF WHICH FORECAST DISSIPATION. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE
STATISTICAL GUIDANCE...WHICH IS BEING DISCOUNTED...SHOWS A
REMOTE POSSIBILITY OF REGENERATION LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD.

THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 270/11 KT. LARGE-SCALE MODELS SHOW
FLORENCE MOVING QUICKLY ON A GENERALLY WESTWARD COURSE DURING THE
NEXT FEW DAYS...UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A BUILDING LOW- TO MID-LEVEL
RIDGE TO THE NORTH. THE TRACK OF FLORENCE SHOULD BEND TOWARD THE
WEST-NORTHWEST AFTER 72 HOURS AS THE CYCLONE ROUNDS THE SOUTHWEST
PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. THE MODEL GUIDANCE HAS SHIFTED SOUTHWARD
THIS CYCLE...AND THE NEW FORECAST IS THEREFORE ADJUSTED IN THAT
DIRECTION...LYING CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS AND IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE.

Excerpt from 11 PM EDT discussion.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE
STATISTICAL GUIDANCE...WHICH IS BEING DISCOUNTED...SHOWS A
REMOTE POSSIBILITY OF REGENERATION LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD.

[somethingfunny]

The 18z GFS jumped back aboard the regeneration wagon (after 0z and 6z showed it but 12z dropped it). The divot of lower pressure in the Bermuda-Azores Ridge in this first image, and the system nearing Cape Cod in the second image, appear to be Florence. Of note: the 0z and 6z GFS runs showed Florence regenerating, but kept her much farther offshore, closer to Bermuda in fact, and shooting off to the northeast.





The answer to the question of if Florence regenerates, and how much it strengthens if it does, may have major implications for the track of the next Cape Verde storm we see gathering steam in these model runs. A stronger Florence would open more of a weakness in the ridge to allow that storm (Gordon?) to recurve harmlessly.

Well.... it "COULD".

*Cut Image*

Mainstream media. I'll stop there.

I would say the chances of it becoming a hurricane are even lower now. I wouldn't go by that product as its usually way off. There's always a chance for everything but its extremely misleading and is like saying Ernesto is on the verge of becoming a category 4 hurricane, could happen but likely not.

Florence is devoid of all convection and I wonder if its even a TD.

Agreed, lol. Florence is coding, bring out Bones. The 0z GFS dropped its' regeneration plans for Florence too. IF Florence regenerates, it could have big implications for the track of the big Cape Verde storm the models are advertising next week, as a regenerated Florence would open up a weakness in the ridge for that storm to follow. But that's about the only thing of note in Flo's future now.

[Hurricane Alexis]

Now a TD.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION FLORENCE DISCUSSION NUMBER 10
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL062012
500 AM AST MON AUG 06 2012

FLORENCE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN. THE CYCLONE HAS BEEN DEVOID OF DEEP
CONVECTION FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS AS DRY AIR...AS SEEN IN THE DUST
PRODUCT FROM THE GOES-R PROVING GROUND...HAS BECOME WELL EMBEDDED
IN THE CIRCULATION. DVORAK CLASSIFICATIONS CONTINUE TO FALL AND
SUPPORT DOWNGRADING FLORENCE TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION WITH AN
INITIAL WIND SPEED OF 30 KT. THE DEPRESSION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
IN A STABLE ENVIRONMENT AND OVER RELATIVELY COOL WATERS FOR THE
NEXT DAY OR SO. ALTHOUGH FLORENCE IS FORECAST TO MOVE OVER WARMER
WATERS BEYOND 36 HOURS...STRONG WESTERLY SHEAR WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT
THE CYCLONE BY THEN. THE NEW NHC FORECAST CALLS FOR FLORENCE TO
DEGENERATE TO A REMNANT LOW IN 24 TO 36 HOURS...BUT THIS COULD
OCCUR AS SOON AS LATER TODAY IF CONVECTION DOES NOT REDEVELOP SOON.
DISSIPATION IS FORECAST IN 4 TO 5 DAYS.

THE INITIAL MOTION REMAINS DUE WEST BUT AT A SLIGHTLY SLOWER
PACE...270/10. THE MODELS AGREE THAT FLORENCE...OR ITS REMNANT
LOW...SHOULD TURN WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AND ACCELERATE IN THE
LOW-LEVEL FLOW TO THE SOUTH OF A SUBTROPICAL HIGH. THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST IS ADJUSTED A LITTLE TO THE SOUTH AND IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT

ORGANIZED DEEP CONVECTION HAS BEEN ABSENT FOR OVER 12 HOURS

CIRCULATION AND A SMALL CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS LOCATED ABOUT 110
MILES WEST OF THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION. CONSEQUENTLY...FLORENCE
IS ASSESSED AS A POST-TROPICAL REMNANT LOW AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST
ADVISORY ON THIS SYSTEM. A SURROUNDING DRY/STABLE AIR MASS...COOL
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES...AND INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR
SHOULD LEAD TO DISSIPATION IN 5 DAYS OR LESS.

THE REMNANT LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE WESTWARD...BUT AT A SLIGHTLY
FASTER RATE OF FORWARD MOTION...275/13. DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS...THE SYSTEM SHOULD TURN WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AND CONTINUE
TO INCREASE IN SPEED WITHIN THE LOW-LEVEL STEERING FLOW TO THE
