Re: ATL: ISAAC - Tropical Storm - Discussion
The more convective bursts like this Isaac has, the more likely he is to survive and make it to better conditions in the Western Caribbean.

Re: ATL: ISAAC - Advisories
Tropical Storm Isaac Discussion Number 26
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092018
1100 PM AST Thu Sep 13 2018
A burst of deep convection has developed and covered the previously
exposed center of Isaac this evening. However, there is still
evidence of northwesterly shear over the cyclone as there is a
rather sharp edge to the convective mass and the cirrus is quickly
blowing off toward the southeast. A recent ASCAT pass shows that
the circulation is not particularly well defined, but it did show
some light west or west-southwesterly winds, enough to keep the
system classified as a tropical cyclone. The ASCAT also revealed
winds of 30-32 kt, so the initial wind speed is held at 35 kt, which
is also an average of the latest Dvorak current intensity numbers.
Moderate to strong northwesterly shear and dry mid-level air are
likely to cause Isaac to weaken to a tropical depression or even
become an open wave within the next day or so. When Isaac reaches
the west-central Caribbean Sea in a couple of days, the shear may
relax somewhat and the global models suggest that there will be an
increase in mid-level moisture. These conditions could allow for
regeneration of the system, but given the uncertainty in whether
Isaac will survive long enough to take advantage of these
conditions, the official forecast still calls for dissipation like
most of the guidance.
Isaac continues moving westward at about 14 kt. The system should
move generally westward over the next couple of days as it is
steered by a low- to mid-level ridge to the north. Later in the
period, the models show that Isaac could gain some latitude, but
the official forecast is along the southern side of the guidance
since a weaker system is likely to move more westward. The new NHC
track forecast is essentially an update of the previous advisory.
FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS
INIT 14/0300Z 14.9N 64.4W 35 KT 40 MPH

Re: ATL: ISAAC - Tropical Storm - Discussion
FWIW, the 00Z GFS dissipates Isaac in about 66 hours, but brings what's left of him into the tip of the Yuacatan.

Those of us in Central America and Mexico on the Western Caribbean would be happy to see NHC forecast of dissipation at 5 days while still in middle of the Caribbean, and him making it to say Bay of Honduras which is pretty warm right now and we know how cyclones just love those hotter waters.

If I had to bet $10 dollars I'd bet that it survives and makes landfall on the United states gulf coast.

And I'd double that to $20 and say I have no idea. What are you basing this on?

Re: ATL: ISAAC - Tropical Storm - Discussion
I personally wouldn't complain if it struggled into Mobile Bay as a weak tropical storm and made its way up here; September and October last few years have been horrifically dry (for super humid subtropics, at least) whenever no tropical systems changed that pattern (November 2016 Gatlinburg wildfire, anyone?) but we've had Alberto and Gordon already this year so a third would make it a rather active year for central AL.
I am honestly surprised it's doing as well as it is, looks like extremely dry air to the north for now isn't killing it off much and it might well hold together as a coherent system better than I figured.

Colors of lost purpose on the canvas of irrelevance
Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

Re: ATL: ISAAC - Tropical Storm - Discussion
It's still holding nice convection. I'm giving it better than even odds

1. The healthy number of intensity models showing strengthening
2. The fact that it is blowing up convection in the "dead" zone of the eastern caribbean.
3. The fact that shear is decreasing and the nhc states that it will continue to become more favorable as it moves towards the western caribbean.

Some of the better intensity models like the ship, Lgem, tvcn all show strengthening.

A few hours old, but ASCAT confirms Isaac is still closed, and albeit weak, the westerly winds extend a good deal south of the center.

YES! We have been fully spared from poor TS Isaac! Thanks to you Isaac polite little boy. I hope that Isaac stay at this status along it treks, but only Mother Nature knows why. Even rainfall values are extremely week only 45 millimeters in a area close in hig elevation close to our volcano la Soufriere , elsewhere 5 millimiters in some others areas. So good excellent news, no damages, schools are open, all is at green code!
