on Tropical Depression Nineteen Forecast Discussion Number 3 By www.nhc.noaa.gov Published On :: Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:48:55 GMT Issued at 400 AM EST Thu Nov 14 2024 000 WTNT44 KNHC 140848 TCDAT4 Tropical Depression Nineteen Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192024 400 AM EST Thu Nov 14 2024 The satellite presentation of the system has gradually been improving. The latest subjective intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB are both T-2.0/30 kt. Based on the subjective Dvorak estimates and the improvement in the convective structure noted on satellite imagery, the system is upgraded to a tropical depression. This is supported by data from the Indian Oceansat scatterometer, which shows a well-defined circulation. The intensity is set to 30 kt based on the Dvorak estimates. Tropical Depression Nineteen has been moving faster, just south of due west, or 265/14 kt, although it should begin slowing down later today. A mid-level ridge centered to the north of the depression over the Straits of Florida should keep it on a westward track until Friday, taking the system near the north coast of eastern Honduras, and possibly inland. After that, the ridge is expected to break down, and the models agree that the cyclone will meander in weak steering currents late Friday through the weekend. This expected slow motion will cause the system to produce heavy rains over the same region, likely causing life-threatening flooding over portions of Central America. By early next week, ridging should become re-established over Florida and the eastern Gulf of Mexico, which should cause the system to move northwestward across Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula. Very little change was made to the first 3 days of the track forecast. Beyond day 3, there has been a notable westward shift in the track guidance. The NHC forecast is a bit west of the previous forecast beyond day 3, but not as far west as the bulk of the latest model guidance. Environmental conditions are conducive for intensification during the next day or two while the system remains over water, with low vertical wind shear and relatively high mid-level humidities. However, there is a significant amount of uncertainty in how much land interaction with Honduras occurs. The majority of the models are showing the center move just barely inland over Honduras, or parking it right on the coastline, between hour 48 and 72. However, if the system stays offshore, as shown by the latest HWRF model solution, it could take advantage of the conducive atmospheric and oceanic conditions and continue to strengthen. The latest NHC intensity forecast is similar to the previous one through 36 h, but then is about 5 kt lower than the previous forecast since this forecast shows a bit more land interaction beyond 36 h. The latest NHC intensity forecast is above the high end of the guidance envelope beyond 36 h. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Through early next week, heavy rainfall will cause significant, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides across portions of Central America, particularly Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, eastern Guatemala, and western Nicaragua. 2. The disturbance is forecast to be near hurricane strength when it moves near the eastern coast of Honduras on Friday and Saturday. Hurricane watches and tropical storm warnings are in effect for portions of that area. 3. The system is forecast to approach Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico at or near hurricane strength by early next week where there is a risk of dangerous storm surge and damaging winds. Residents in these areas should monitor the latest forecast updates and ensure that they have their hurricane plan in place. 4. It is too soon to determine what impacts the system could bring to portions of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, including Florida, the Florida Keys, and Cuba during the middle portion of next week. Residents in these areas should regularly monitor updates to the forecast.

Las últimas estimaciones de intensidad subjetiva de TAFB y SAB son T-2.0/30 kt. Basado en las estimaciones subjetivas de Dvorak y la mejora en la estructura convectiva observada en las imágenes de satélite, el sistema se actualiza a una depresión tropical. Esto se ve respaldado por los datos del scatterómetro del Indian Oceansat, que muestra una circulación bien definida. La intensidad se establece en 30 kt según las estimaciones de Dvorak. La Depresión Tropical Diecinueve se ha estado moviendo más rápido, justo al sur del oeste, o 265/14 kt, aunque hoy debería comenzar a disminuir la velocidad. Una cresta de nivel medio centrada al norte de la depresión sobre el Estrecho de Florida debe mantenerla en dirección oeste hasta el viernes, tomando el sistema cerca de la costa norte del este de Honduras y, posiblemente, tierra adentro. Después de eso, se espera que la cresta se rompa, y los modelos coinciden en que el ciclón serpenteará en corrientes débiles hasta el viernes hasta el fin de semana. Se espera que este movimiento lento provoque que el sistema produzca fuertes lluvias en la misma región, lo que probablemente provocará inundaciones que amenazan la vida en zonas de América Central. Para principios de la próxima semana, las perforaciones de crestas deben restablecerse sobre Florida y el este del Golfo de México, lo que debería provocar que el sistema se mueva hacia el noroeste a través de Belice y la Península de Yucatán. Se hicieron muy pocos cambios en los primeros 3 días del pronóstico de trayectoria. Más allá del día 3, se ha producido un notable cambio hacia el oeste en la guía de trayectoria. El pronóstico del CNH está un poco al oeste del pronóstico anterior más allá del día 3, pero no tan al oeste como la mayor parte de la guía del último modelo. Las condiciones ambientales son propicias para la intensificación durante el próximo día o dos, mientras el sistema permanece sobre el agua, con baja cizalladura vertical del viento y humedades relativamente altas de nivel medio. Sin embargo, existe una incertidumbre significativa en cuanto a la interacción entre tierras y Honduras. La mayoría de los modelos muestran que el centro se mueve apenas tierra adentro sobre Honduras, o lo estacionan justo en la costa, entre las horas 48 y 72. Sin embargo, si el sistema se mantiene en alta mar, como lo demuestra la última solución modelo HWRF, podría aprovechar las condiciones atmosféricas y oceánicas propicias y continuar fortaleciéndose. El último pronóstico de intensidad del CNH es similar al anterior hasta las 36 h, pero luego es de unos 5 kt más bajo que el pronóstico anterior, ya que este pronóstico muestra una interacción más profunda con la tierra más allá de las 36 h. El último pronóstico de intensidad del CNH está por encima del límite máximo del envolvente de orientación más allá de las 36 h. MENSAJES CLAVE: 1. Hasta principios de la próxima semana, las fuertes lluvias causarán inundaciones repentinas y deslizamientos de tierra que amenazan la vida en porciones de América Central, particularmente Honduras, Belice, El Salvador, el este de Guatemala y el oeste de Nicaragua. 2. Se pronostica que la perturbación estará cerca de la fuerza de huracán cuando se mueva cerca de la costa este de Honduras el viernes y el sábado. Las vigilancias de huracán y los avisos de tormenta tropical están vigentes en porciones de esa área. 3. Se pronostica que el sistema se acercará a Belice y a la península de Yucatán en México con la fuerza de huracán o cerca de ella a principios de la próxima semana, donde existe el riesgo de marejadas ciclónicas peligrosas y vientos destructivos. Los residentes de estas áreas deben monitorear las últimas actualizaciones del pronóstico y asegurarse de que tienen su plan de huracanes establecido. 4. Es demasiado pronto para determinar qué impactos podría causar el sistema en porciones del este del Golfo de México, incluidos Florida, los Cayos de Florida y Cuba durante la mitad de la próxima semana. Los residentes de estas áreas deben monitorear regularmente las actualizaciones del pronóstico.
