..STORM INVESTIGATION 91L JUNE 1, 2023 THE START OF THE OFFICIAL ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON..

 


The low pressure disturbance has meander northward into warmer waters allowing for this system to organize some over night.  There is a chance for some slow development, but it should be a short lived system according most of the models.  

As for the flooding rains as we first thought with previous model run it remans questionable.  If this system tracks south and away from Florida the heavy rain chances decrease.  

We still have a strong southwesterly sub-tropical jet over the northwest Caribbean and the Bahamas, but so far the rains we were suppose to get last night, never materialized due to the southwesterly  mid to upper level jet shifting toward the east and the low pressure moving further away from southern Florida west coast.

The Weather Predication Center is still forecasting a marginal risk for excessive rainfall, for a portion of Florida during the next 3 days. So we continue to monitor.  South Florida is still under a flood watch through Friday evening

Upper level conditions are forecast to become unfavorable during the next few days preventing this weather system from developing further.  I will continue to monitor and will post here if any changes to there is changes to the forecast.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Thu Jun 1 2023

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

1. Northeastern Gulf of Mexico (AL91):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure 
over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico have increased and become 
better organized during the overnight hours. Environmental 
conditions appear marginally favorable for additional development 
over the next day or so, and a short-lived tropical depression or 
storm could form over that time span as the system meanders over the 
northeastern Gulf of Mexico. However, by this weekend environmental 
conditions are forecast to become unfavorable for additional 
development as the system drifts southward, likely remaining 
offshore over the Gulf of Mexico. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane 
Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system later today, 
if necessary.

Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall could occur over 
portions of the Florida Peninsula through this weekend. Additional 
information on the rainfall and flooding potential can be found in 
products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast 
office and Excessive Rainfall Outlooks issued by the Weather 
Prediction Center.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Today marks the first day of the Atlantic hurricane season, which 
will run until November 30. The long-term averages for the number of 
named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes are 14, 7, and 3, 
respectively.

The list of names for 2023 is as follows:

This product, the Tropical Weather Outlook, briefly describes 
significant areas of disturbed weather and their potential for 
tropical cyclone formation during the next seven days.  The issuance 
times of this product are 2 AM, 8 AM, 2 PM, and 8 PM EDT.  After the 
change to standard time in November, the issuance times are 1 AM, 7 
AM, 1 PM, and 7 PM EST.

A Special Tropical Weather Outlook will be issued to provide 
updates, as necessary, in between the regularly scheduled issuances 
of the Tropical Weather Outlook.  Special Tropical Weather Outlooks 
will be issued under the same WMO and AWIPS headers as the regular 
Tropical Weather Outlooks.

A standard package of products, consisting of the tropical cyclone 
public advisory, the forecast/advisory, the cyclone discussion, and 
a wind speed probability product, is issued every six hours for all 
ongoing tropical cyclones.  In addition, a special advisory package 
may be issued at any time to advise of significant unexpected 
changes or to modify watches or warnings.

NHC has the option to issue advisories, watches, and warnings for 
disturbances that are not yet a tropical cyclone, but which pose the 
threat of bringing tropical storm or hurricane conditions to 
land areas within 48 hours.  For these land-threatening "potential 
tropical cyclones", NHC will issue the full suite of advisory and 
watch/warning products.  Potential tropical cyclones share the 
naming conventions currently in place for tropical depressions, 
being numbered from a single list (e.g., "One", "Two", "Three", 
etc.). 

The Tropical Cyclone Update is a brief statement to inform of 
significant changes in a tropical cyclone, to post or cancel watches 
or warnings, or to provide hourly position updates between 
intermediate advisories when the storm center is easily followed by 
radar.  It is used in lieu of or to precede the issuance of a 
special advisory package.  Tropical Cyclone Updates, which can be 
issued at any time, can be found under WMO header WTNT61-65 KNHC, 
and under AWIPS header MIATCUAT1-5.

Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1205 UTC Wed May 31 2023

Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America
Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, northern sections of South
America, and Atlantic Ocean to the African coast from the
Equator to 31N. The following information is based on satellite
imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.

Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 
1040 UTC.

...TROPICAL WAVES...

A tropical wave has been added to the analysis over West Africa 
along 12W from 14N southward to the equator, moving W at 15 to 20
kt. Numerous moderate scattered strong convection is noted ahead 
of the wave axis from 03N to 13N between the wave axis and 25W.

The tropical wave that had been analyzed along 22W at 31/0000 UTC
has been removed from the analysis.

A central Atlantic tropical wave extends along 41W from 14N 
southward, moving W at 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is 
observed from 06.5N to 09N between 33W and 45W.

Another central Atlantic tropical wave extends along 52W from 11N
southward, moving W at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
noted from 06N to 11N between 47W and 54W. 

The tropical wave that was analyzed along 62/63W at 31/0000 UTC
has been removed from the analysis.

A Caribbean Sea tropical wave extends along 76/77W from 16N 
southward, moving W at 10 kt. Isolated thunderstorms are observed
near and within 150 nm W of the wave axis, mainly south of 12N.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

The monsoon trough passes through the coast of Senegal near 14N17W
to 05N27W. The ITCZ continues from 05N27W to 03.5N33W to 04.5N39W,
then resumes from 05N42W to 05N51W. Aside from the convection
mentioned above in the tropical waves section, scattered moderate
convection is noted near and within 120 nm N of the ITCZ between
45W and 47W.

GULF OF MEXICO...

A mid to upper-level low is centered over the central Gulf of
Mexico with a mid to upper-level trough extending south-
southeastward from the SE Louisiana coast to the Yucatan Channel.
A surface trough is present from 26N87W south-southwestward to the
western Yucatan Peninsula. Upper-level diffluence over the eastern
Gulf of Mexico is supporting scattered moderate convection from
26N to 28N between 83.5W and 86W. Cloudiness with isolated showers
are seen elsewhere over the eastern Gulf, to the east of a line
from New Orleans, LA to the western tip of Cuba. Isolated
thunderstorms are noted in between Coatzacoalcos and Paraiso,
along the southern Bay of Campeche coast.

Moderate mainly easterly winds prevail across the central and
north-central Gulf, with seas 2 to 3 ft, shown by a 0900 UTC
satellite altimeter pass. Lighter winds and calmer seas prevail
within 60 nm of the U.S. northern Gulf Coast, as well as over the
southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

For the forecast, a surface trough is expected to take shape 
today, and extend from near the Yucatan Peninsula north-
northeastward to the Florida Big Bend by tonight. Surface low 
pressure could form along this trough today or Thu and is expected
to meander over the eastern Gulf through Fri. Environmental 
conditions appear only marginally favorable for additional 
development during this time. Enhanced showers and thunderstorms 
are expected across most of the eastern half of the Gulf today 
into Fri. Winds associated with this system are forecast to be 
fresh over the NE Gulf beginning tonight. The system should move 
eastward over Florida and into the Atlantic Ocean during the 
weekend. Elsewhere, over the western Gulf, high pressure should 
lead to gentle to moderate winds into the weekend, with occasional
fresh pulses along the W coast of Yucatan.

CARIBBEAN SEA...

A mid to upper-level trough prevails over the NW Caribbean, while
a mid to upper-level ridge prevails across the remainder of the
basin. As a result, scattered moderate isolated strong convection
is noted from 17N northward, between 76W and 85W, including over
Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and east-central Cuba. Isolated
showers and thunderstorms are noted in the Windward Passage, as 
well as the SW Caribbean. Isolated showers are noted between 13N 
and the coast of Venezuela. Scattered showers are seen near and 
just E of Martinique and Dominica. Little to no showers are 
observed within the area from 13.5N to 19N between 62W and 75W. 
Moderate ESE winds prevail across the eastern and central 
Caribbean, with 3-5 ft seas, confirmed by a 31/0700 UTC altimeter 
pass. In the NW Caribbean, winds are gentle to moderate from the 
SE-SSE with 2 to 3 ft seas. Gentle ESE winds are found in the SW 
Caribbean.

For the forecast, a weak pressure pattern will maintain gentle to
moderate trades across the Caribbean and the tropical N Atlantic 
through the end of week, with occasional fresh pulses along the N 
coast of Venezuela and Colombia. Winds become southerly moderate 
over the central part of the basin Fri through Sun night ahead of 
a trough that is expected to move into the western Caribbean.

ATLANTIC OCEAN...

A surface trough extends from the Straits of Florida northeastward
to near 31N70W. Scattered moderate to strong convection is 
observed from 23N to 28N between 70W and 77W. Scattered moderate
convection is noted elsewhere from 20N to 31N between 65W and 81W.
Convection from 27N to 31N between 56W and 71W is due to a
stationary front that extends from Bermuda to 31N59W. Moderate S
winds prevail between 64W-72W along with 4-5 ft seas. A ridge with
light to gentle winds extends from 30N73W to 31N79W with seas near
3 ft. Gentle SSE winds and 1-3 ft seas are found across the
Bahamas.

Farther east, a cold front extends from 31N24W to 27N32W. It
continues as a warm front to 31N39W. Fresh SW winds extend within
150 nm ahead of the front. Moderate WNW winds are within 240 nm
behind the front. Seas in the area are 5-7 ft. Another cold front
enters the area from 31N46W to 29N52W to 31N59W. Fresh SW-WSW
winds are within 180 nm SE of the front, mainly E of 47W. The
front is producing seas of 5-6 ft in the area. The pressure 
gradient between the subtropical ridge and lower pressure near the
ITCZ is producing moderate to locally fresh trade winds across 
the Tropical Atlantic, where seas are 4-6 ft. An area of showers,
not previously mentioned above, is present from 10N to 16N between
52W and 59W.

For the forecast, the surface trough extending from the Straits 
of Florida northeastward to 31N70W will be the focal point for 
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over the next 
couple of days. A broad area of low pressure is expected to form 
along this trough Thu night to the southwest of Bermuda, when the 
trough is forecast to extend from 30N67W to South Florida. Fresh 
to strong winds may cover a large area with this low as it slides 
E along a cold front to the S of Bermuda on Fri. At the same time,
another broad area of low pressure over the eastern Gulf of 
Mexico late this week will move E across Florida and into the 
western Atlantic over the weekend. As a result, increasing winds 
and building seas are likely between Florida and 60W this weekend.
Strong N to NE winds and building seas are expected offshore 
northeast Florida Sun and Sun night behind a cold front.
