Tropical Weather Outlook

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

800 PM EDT Thu Aug 17 2017



For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:



The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical

Storm Harvey, located a couple of hundred miles east of the Windward

Islands, and has issued the final advisory on Post-Tropical Cyclone

Gert, located several hundred miles east-southeast of Cape Race,

Newfoundland.



Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with an area of low

pressure located about 1000 miles east of the Leeward Islands have

changed little in organization during the past several hours.

However, only a slight increase in the organization of the shower

activity could lead to the formation of a tropical depression during

the next couple of days before upper-level winds become less

favorable for development early next week.  The low is expected

to move west-northwestward at about 20 mph during the next few

days, and interests in the northern Leeward Islands should monitor

the progress of this disturbance.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.



A tropical wave located over the far eastern Atlantic Ocean a few

hundred miles west and southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands

continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

Gradual development of this system is possible through the middle

of next week while the wave moves westward to west-northwestward at

about 20 mph.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Martinique * St. Lucia * Barbados * St. Vincent and the Grenadines A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * Dominica A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within 12 to 24 hours. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case within 12 to 24 hours. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Harvey was located near latitude 13.0 North, longitude 57.4 West. Harvey is moving toward the west near 18 mph (30 km/h), and a continued westward motion with a slight increase in forward speed is expected over the next couple of days. On the forecast track, Harvey should move through the Windward Islands and into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Friday. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Slow strengthening is possible during the next 48 hours. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the Lesser Antilles within the warning area by early Friday, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area on Friday. RAINFALL: Harvey is expected to produce rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches across portions of the Windward Islands from Martinique southward to Grenada. These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 AM AST. Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Pasch ]]>

• Tropical Storm Harvey Forecast Discussion Number 3
  Issued at 1100 PM AST Thu Aug 17 2017 000 WTNT44 KNHC 180231 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Harvey Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092017 1100 PM AST Thu Aug 17 2017 Since an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft departed the storm a few hours ago, the cloud pattern of Harvey hasn't changed much. Dvorak intensity estimates from both TAFB and SAB are 30 kt, and based on the earlier aircraft measurements the current intensity is held at 35 kt. The storm is in a moderate easterly shear environment, which should allow only slow strengthening for the next couple of days. After that, the dynamical models indicate that a decrease in shear should occur. As noted earlier, however, the GFS and ECMWF global models do not show strengthening of Harvey and in fact practically dissipate it during the forecast period. This suggests something unfavorable in the environment besides shear ahead of the system, perhaps some drier air or subsidence. The official intensity forecast shows modest strengthening and is generally close to the model consensus which includes the statistical/dynamical guidance and the regional hurricane models (that do show some strengthening). The motion continues westward or 270/16. There is no change to the track forecast philosophy from the previous advisory package. Harvey should remain embedded in the flow on the south side of a strong mid-level ridge throughout most of the forecast period, which should steer the system on a continued westward track. Near the end of period, the guidance suggests a slightly more northward motion with some deceleration. The official forecast track is near the dynamical model consensus and very close to the previous NHC track.
