000 WTPZ41 KNHC 012055 TCDEP1 Tropical Depression Eleven-E Discussion Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112024 300 PM CST Tue Oct 01 2024 The small area of low pressure we have been monitoring for the past couple of days has become well-defined on satellite imagery this afternoon and was confirmed with recent scatterometer data. There has been enough organized deep convection today to consider this a tropical depression, as suggested by the Data-T estimate from TAFB, and the initial wind speed is set to 30 kt in accordance with the max believable scatterometer values. The initial motion is an uncertain 360/4 kt. The depression has been moving northward on the eastern end of the monsoon trough, and this general track is anticipated through landfall with little change seen in the steering flow for the next day or two. However, the model guidance is all over the place, owing to differences in the initial depth of the tropical depression and strength of the circulation associated with the monsoon trough and Invest 97E. The ECMWF model seems to have the best representation of the initial vortex, and the track forecast heavily leans on that model solution, especially given its recent successes with cyclones in that area. However, there is considerable spread in the guidance, and the tropical storm warning is larger than typical based on that uncertainty. Northeasterly shear is expected to continue to affect the depression through landfall, though very warm SSTs and a moist mid-level environment should promote some strengthening. These conditions would seem to favor intensification through landfall, and the first forecast shows a mid-range tropical storm, above most of the model guidance. At this point, extreme rainfall and flash flooding seem to be the biggest threats from this system. KEY MESSAGES: 1. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm later tonight or on Wednesday. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for a portion of the coastline of southern Mexico, where tropical storm conditions are expected to begin on Wednesday. 2. Tropical Depression Eleven-E will likely bring heavy rainfall to portions of southern Mexico and Guatemala this week. Flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain, are possible, especially from western Guatemala into portions of the Mexican states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Veracruz, and Tabasco.

000 WTNT42 KNHC 012055 TCDAT2 Hurricane Kirk Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122024 500 PM AST Tue Oct 01 2024 Kirk's appearance on satellite has improved with a large burst of convection near the center and deep convective bands continuing to wrap around the southeast side. A 1808 UTC GPM microwave pass showed an improved inner-core structure with an eyewall noted on the 37 GHz channel. The UW-CIMSS DMINT intensity estimate associated with the microwave image was 63 kt. This estimate combined with the most recent TAFB Dvorak fix of 4.0/65 kt is the basis for making Kirk a hurricane this afternoon with an intensity of 65 kt. Kirk is moving slightly more poleward this afternoon, with an estimated motion of 305/12 kt. This motion, with perhaps a slight slowdown, should continue over the next couple of days as Kirk is primarily steered along the southwestern edge of a subtropical ridge positioned to its north. The western extent of this ridge will become eroded by a long-wave trough offshore of eastern North America towards the latter part of this week, allowing Kirk to turn first northwestward and then recurving north-northeastward by the end of the forecast period. The track guidance continues to be in good agreement, and the latest NHC track forecast lies near the middle of the guidance envelope, very similar to the prior advisory and between the HCCA and TVCN consensus aids. Now that Kirk's inner core is becoming better established it is poised to intensify at a faster rate. Favorable environmental factors surrounding Kirk, such as decreasing shear, warm 28-30 C sea-surface temperatures, and plenty of deep-layer moisture will continue to support a faster rate of strengthening through the 24-48 h period. The NHC intensity forecast shows Kirk becoming a major hurricane towards the end of the forecast period. In addition, Kirk's wind field is forecast to expand as the system moves poleward through the end of the week. Thereafter, hard to predict inner-core structural changes will likely lead to fluctuations in intensity, though by day 5, shear increases again with weakening commencing. However, Kirk will likely remain a large and formidable hurricane through the forecast. The NHC intensity forecast is close the middle of the intensity guidance consensus and still a little on the upper-end towards the end of the forecast period.

000 WTNT42 KNHC 011453 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Kirk Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122024 1100 AM AST Tue Oct 01 2024 Kirk's structure on satellite is gradually becoming better organized, with deep convective bands attempting to wrap around the center, though there still remains evidence that dry air could be getting into the core on the western side. Some of this less humid air could be getting imported due to subtle northerly mid-level shear above 20-kt as diagnosed by the ECMWF analysis this morning. With that said, we have received some fortuitous surface data from a moored PIRATA buoy (13008) that Kirk passed close by this morning at around 09 UTC. The buoy reported sustained tropical-storm-force winds at 4 meters, and a concurrent minimum pressure down to 990 mb. Thus the initial intensity has been raised to 60 kt with an estimated minimum pressure a little lower at 988 mb. This intensity is a little above the subjective Dvorak estimates but closest to the latest DPRINT estimate from UW-CIMSS. Kirk is still moving west-northwestward, estimated at 300/11 kt. This motion with perhaps a slight slowdown should continue over the next couple of days as Kirk is primarily steered along the southwestern edge of a subtropical ridge positioned to its north. The western extent of this ridge will become eroded by a long-wave trough offshore of eastern North America towards the latter part of this week, allowing Kirk to turn first northwestward and then northward by the end of the forecast period. The track guidance continues to be in good agreement, and the latest NHC track forecast lies near the middle of the guidance envelope, very similar to the prior advisory and between the consensus aids HCCA and TVCN. While Kirk is stronger this morning, it is feeling some of the effects of the aforementioned mid-level shear, preventing convection from fully wrapping around the center. However, other environmental factors, namely warm 28-30 C sea-surface temperatures and plenty of deep-layer moisture, are quite conducive for strengthening. For now, the shear is anticipated to prevent a faster rate of intensification, but Kirk should become a hurricane later today. After 24 h, even the mid-level shear is expected to decrease, and a faster period of intensification is likely in the 24-60 h period. The NHC intensity forecast shows Kirk becoming a major hurricane at the end of this period. In addition, Kirk's wind field is also forecast to grow in size by the end of the week. Thereafter, hard to predict inner-core structural changes will likely lead to fluctuations in intensity, though by day 5 shear begins to increase again with weakening beginning by that time. However, Kirk will likely remain a large and formidable hurricane. The NHC intensity forecast is close the middle of the guidance envelope early on but is near the higher end of the aids in 72 h.

000 WTNT42 KNHC 010845 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Kirk Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122024 500 AM AST Tue Oct 01 2024 Satellite imagery indicates that Kirk's structure hasn't changed very much over the past 6 h. The infrared imagery consists of a large comma-shaped area of deep convection. ASCAT data from Monday evening as well as a more recent 01/0416 AMSR2 image indicate that the center is near the northern edge of the convection. The AMSR2 image also indicates that the convective bands haven't become any better organized around the center over the past 6 h. The latest subjective Dvorak intensity estimates range from 45 to 55 kt, and the latest objective intensity estimates from UW-CIMSS range from 49 to 56 kt. Given that the highest ASCAT vectors from around 0000 UTC were about 43 kt, and taking into account the recent intensity estimates, the initial intensity is set to 50 kt, which is unchanged from the previous NHC advisory. Kirk is estimated to be moving west-northwestward, or 295/12 kt. This general motion should continue for the next day or so while Kirk moves around the southwestern periphery of a deep-layer subtropical ridge over the eastern Atlantic. A gradual turn toward the northwest is expected during the middle part of the week, followed by a recurvature to the north over the central Atlantic by the end of the forecast period. The track guidance is in good agreement for the first couple days of the forecast, with a bit of spread noted thereafter. The new NHC track forecast is similar to the previous official forecast through 72 h, and west of the previous forecast at days 4 and 5, close to the multi-model consensus aid TVCA. Favorable environmental conditions are forecast to persist along Kirk's path through the next 4 days or so, with warm ocean waters, weak vertical wind shear and a relatively moist and unstable atmosphere. Kirk has a broad structure with a large wind field. The tropical storm force radii are forecast to continue increasing through the forecast period. This structure could limit Kirk's chances for rapid strengthening, despite the favorable environment. Little change has been made to the NHC intensity forecast, which calls for steady strengthening over the next 3 days. The NHC intensity forecast is near the high end of the guidance envelope. Kirk is forecast to become a large, major hurricane over the open central Atlantic later this week.

852 WTNT42 KNHC 010234 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Kirk Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122024 1100 PM AST Mon Sep 30 2024 Satellite images indicate Kirk is an asymmetric tropical storm with curved bands of deep convection primarily over the eastern half of the circulation. Recent scatterometer winds indicate the center of Kirk is slightly north of previous estimates, with a large tropical-storm-force wind field over the eastern semicircle. Based on the scatterometer data and a blend of the various satellite intensity estimates, the initial intensity is held at 50 kt. Kirk is now moving west-northwestward (285/10 kt). This general motion should continue for the next couple of days while Kirk moves around the southwestern periphery of a deep-layer subtropical ridge over the eastern Atlantic. A gradual turn toward the northwest is anticipated during the middle part of the week, followed by a recurvature to the north-northwest and north over the central Atlantic by the end of the 5-day forecast period. The track guidance remains in very good agreement, and only minor adjustments were made to the NHC track forecast. Very warm waters, weak vertical wind shear, and a moist environment should support steady to perhaps rapid strengthening of Kirk during the next several days. The tropical storm is currently broad and lacks an inner core, but the forecast shows a faster rate of strengthening by midweek as Kirk is expected to become better organized within this favorable environment. No significant changes were made to the NHC intensity forecast, which lies on the higher side of the guidance envelope in best agreement with the statistical-dynamical aids and some of the regional hurricane models. The models agree that the wind field of Kirk will grow quite large later in the period as the cyclone gains latitude over open waters. Ultimately, Kirk is forecast to become a large, major hurricane over the open central Atlantic later this week.
