Central Tropical Atlantic (AL91): Showers and thunderstorms continue to become better organized in association with an area of low pressure located roughly halfway between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for development, and a tropical depression or storm is expected to form in the next day or so while the system moves west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic. Additional information on this system, including gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent. && High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php $$ Forecaster Papin

Tropical Storm Philippe Forecast Discussion Number 15
Issued at 1100 PM AST Tue Sep 26 2023 000 WTNT42 KNHC 270240 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Philippe Discussion Number 15 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL172023 1100 PM AST Tue Sep 26 2023 After the previous advisory, there was a convective burst with cloud tops as cold as -80C that formed near the circulation center. More recently, this burst has been waning in intensity, and it would not be surprising to see the vortex become exposed again shortly as 20-30 kt southwesterly vertical wind shear continues. While subjective and objective intensity estimates continue to suggest a weaker storm, a helpful 0015 UTC ASCAT-B pass still showed a large region of 35-40 kt winds in the northeastern side of the circulation, in fact requiring an expansion of the tropical storm force winds in that quadrant. Based primarily on the scatterometer data, Philippe's intensity remains 40 kt for this advisory. The intensity forecast appears rather straightforward. The current vertical wind shear over Philippe is expected to continue through most of the forecast period, helping to import drier air into the circulation, that should prevent additional convective bursts from organizing the system. By 72 hours, both the GFS and ECMWF are in agreement that Philippe should no longer have organized deep convection, which is when the forecast shows the system becoming a post-tropical remnant low. As mentioned previously, this could happen sooner than forecasted given the unfavorable environment. After moving south of due west earlier today, Philippe appears to have resumed a north of due west heading, estimated at 280/10 kt. The track guidance is in good agreement on this motion continuing with a bend westward in 36-48 hours as the cyclone becomes primarily steered by the low-level flow. The latest NHC track forecast remains along or just south of the model guidance consensus aids, and is between the GFS and ECMWF solutions.
