Post-Tropical Cyclone Leslie Discussion Number 70
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Sat Oct 13 2018

After a total of 70 advisories, long-lived Leslie has become
post-tropical just west of the coast of Portugal, finally succumbing
to the combination of cool waters, strong vertical wind shear, and
interaction with an approaching cold front. The air mass ahead of
the cyclone has moistened up in the low levels with Faro, Portugal,
reporting a dewpoint of 70F/21C, but the dewpoints across central
and northern Portugal ahead of Leslie are only in the low-60F range,
which is not indicative of a tropical air mass. Thus, the cyclone is
now a powerful post-tropical low pressure system that even has a
partial eye noted in the most recent 2000Z Portuguese composite
radar imagery. After landfall, rapid weakening is anticipated, and
Leslie is forecast to degenerate into a broad low pressure area over
or just north of Spain by late Sunday.

Leslie is moving quickly toward the northeast or 050/30 kt.
Post-tropical Cyclone Leslie should continue in a fast northeastward
direction for the next 12-18 hours, making landfall near or just
south of Porto, Portugal by 14/0000Z. This forecast motion is
consistent with the previous advisory and the latest track model
guidance.

The meteorological services of Portugal and Spain are handling
hazards information for their respective countries via local weather
products. This is the last National Hurricane Center (NHC) advisory
on this system.


Key Messages:

1. Leslie is expected to bring near hurricane-force winds to
portions of Portugal later tonight as a powerful post-tropical
cyclone. Gale-force winds are also likely to affect portions of
northwestern and northern Spain tonight and Sunday.

2. Leslie is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 25 to 75 mm (1
to 3 inches) with isolated amounts as high as 125 mm (5 inches)
across portions of Portugal and Spain, which could cause flash
flooding.

3. For more information on Leslie, interests in Portugal should
refer to products from the Portuguese Institute for Sea and
Atmosphere at www.ipma.pt. Interests in Spain should refer to
products from the State Meteorological Agency at www.aemet.es.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Leslie
was located near latitude 40.5 North, longitude 9.5 West. The
post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the northeast near 35 mph (56
km/h) and this motion is expected to continue during the next 24
hours with a decrease in forward speed. On this track, the center of
Leslie will be near the west-central coast of Portugal in a few
hours, and move inland over portions of central and northern
Portugal tonight, and across northwestern and northern Spain Sunday
morning.

Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
gusts. Weakening is forecast after Leslie moves inland over the
Iberian peninsula, and the cyclone is forecast to dissipate by
Sunday afternoon or evening.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km)
from the center. Lisbon, Portugal recently reported a wind gust to
40 mph (65 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 984 mb (29.06 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Post-tropical Leslie will bring winds to near hurricane-force
to portions of Portugal tonight, and gale-force winds to portions of
western amd northern Spain later tonight through early Sunday.
Please see products from your local meteorological service for more
information on this hazard.

RAINFALL: Leslie is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations
of 1 to 3 inches (25 to 75 mm) with localized amounts up to 5 inches
(125 mm) across portions of Portugal and Spain this weekend. This
rainfall may lead to some instances of flash flooding.

SURF: Swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect the
Azores, Madeira Island, and the Canary Islands through the weekend,
and will begin to affect the Atlantic coasts of Spain, Portugal, and
Morocco today and continuing into Sunday. These swells are likely
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 69
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Sat Oct 13 2018

Despite Leslie moving over 20C ocean and being embedded within
strong shear, satellite data indicate that Leslie has maintained
its deep warm core and is running ahead of a cold front. Although
convection has weakened considerably, Dvorak estimates indicate
that the winds are still 65 kt. All indications are that Leslie
will acquire extratropical characteristics in the next several
hours, and by the time it reaches the Iberian peninsula later today,
the system will be a powerful post-tropical cyclone. After landfall,
rapid weakening is anticipated, and Leslie is forecast to degenerate
into a broad low pressure area over Spain in a day or so.

Leslie is racing toward the northeast or 055 degrees at about 29 kt
while embedded within the fast mid-latitude westerlies. A continued
northeastward motion with gradual decrease in forward speed is
anticipated in the next 12 to 24 hours. This is consistent with
most of the track guidance, which unanimously brings the core of the
post-tropical cyclone over the Iberian peninsula tonight.

The meteorological services of Portugal and Spain are handling
hazards information for their respective countries via local weather
products.


Key Messages:

1. Leslie is expected to bring near hurricane-force winds to
portions of Portugal late today as a powerful post-tropical
cyclone. Gale-force winds are also likely to affect portions of
western Spain tonight and Sunday.

2. Leslie is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 25 to 75 mm (1
to 3 inches) with isolated amounts as high as 125 mm (5 inches)
across portions of Portugal and Spain, which could cause flash
flooding.

3. For more information on Leslie, interests in Portugal should
refer to products from the Portuguese Institute for Sea and
Atmosphere at www.ipma.pt. Interests in Spain should refer to
products from the State Meteorological Agency at www.aemet.es.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Leslie was
located near latitude 38.0 North, longitude 12.6 West. Leslie is
moving toward the northeast near 33 mph (54 km/h), and this motion
is expected to continue during the next 24 hours with a decrease
in forward speed. On this track, the center of Leslie will be near
the southwestern portion of the Iberian peninsula later today, and
move inland over portions of Portugal and Spain tonight and Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts. Leslie is expected to transition into a hurricane-force
post-tropical cyclone during the next several hours. Weakening is
forecast after Leslie moves inland over the Iberian peninsula, and
then dissipate by Sunday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles
(335 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 979 mb (28.91 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Post-tropical Leslie will bring winds to near hurricane-force
to portions of Portugal later today or tonight, and gale-force winds
to portions of western Spain later today through early Sunday.
Please see products from your local meteorological service for more
information on this hazard.

RAINFALL: Leslie is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations
of 1 to 3 inches (25 to 75 mm) with localized amounts up to 5 inches
(125 mm) across portions of Portugal and Spain this weekend. This
rainfall may lead to some instances of flash flooding.

SURF: Swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect the
Azores, Madeira Island, and the Canary Islands through the weekend,
and will begin to affect the Atlantic coasts of Spain, Portugal, and
Morocco today and continuing into Sunday. These swells are likely
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

Interests in Portugal and Spain should monitor the progress of
Leslie. Additional information on this system can be found in
products from the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere at
www.ipma.pt. Interests in Spain should refer to products from the
State Meteorological Agency at www.aemet.es.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Leslie was located
near latitude 37.3 North, longitude 14.5 West. Leslie is moving
toward the east-northeast near 38 mph (61 km/h). A motion toward
the east-northeast with a gradual decrease in forward speed is
expected through Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of
Leslie will approach the southwestern portion of the Iberian
Peninsula today, and move inland over portions of Portugal and Spain
tonight and Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts. Leslie is expected to transition into a hurricane-force
post-tropical cyclone later today. Weakening is forecast after
Leslie moves inland over the Iberian Peninsula later today or
early Sunday, and the post-tropical cyclone is expected to dissipate
by Sunday night or Monday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205
miles (335 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Post-tropical Leslie will bring winds to near hurricane-force
to portions of Portugal later today or tonight, and gale-force winds
to portions of western Spain later today through early Sunday.
Please see products from your local meteorological service for more
information on this hazard.

RAINFALL: Leslie is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations
of 1 to 3 inches (25 to 75 mm) with localized amounts up to 5 inches
(125 mm) across portions of Portugal and Spain this weekend. This
rainfall may lead to some instances of flash flooding.

SURF: Swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect the
Azores, Madeira Island, and the Canary Islands through the weekend,
and will begin to affect the Atlantic coasts of Spain, Portugal, and
Morocco today and continuing into Sunday. These swells are likely
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 68
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Sat Oct 13 2018

Satellite imagery suggests that Leslie has started extratropical
transition. The mid-level eye seen earlier in both conventional
and microwave satellite imagery has become less distinct, and it is
continuing to separate from the low-level center. In addition,
colder air is entraining into the western and southern sides of the
circulation. However, a sizable cluster of convection persists to
the northeast of the center, indicating that the cyclone is still
tropical at this time. The large-scale models forecast that Leslie
will likely complete transition in 12 to perhaps 18 h, and that the
associated winds should remain at or near hurricane force until the
center moves over the Iberian Peninsula. After landfall, rapid
weakening is forecast, and the cyclone should dissipate as it
becomes part of a broad low pressure area over Spain between 36-48
h.

The initial motion is 070/33 as Leslie is now well embedded in the
mid-latitude westerlies. A continued east-northeastward motion with
a gradual decrease in forward speed is expected for the next 36 h.
This should bring the center of Leslie onshore on the Iberian
Peninsula in about 18 h and into western Spain by about 24 h. There
is little change in either the track guidance or the track forecast
from the last advisory.

The meteorological services of Portugal and Spain will handle hazard
information for their respective countries via local weather
products.


Key Messages:

1. Leslie is expected to bring near hurricane-force winds to
portions of Portugal late today as a powerful post-tropical
cyclone. Gale-force winds are also likely to affect portions of
western Spain tonight and Sunday.

2. Leslie is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 25 to 75 mm (1
to 3 inches) with isolated amounts as high as 125 mm (5 inches)
across portions of Portugal and Spain, which could cause flash
flooding.

3. For more information on Leslie, interests in Portugal should
refer to products from the Portuguese Institute for Sea and
Atmosphere at www.ipma.pt. Interests in Spain should refer to
products from the State Meteorological Agency at www.aemet.es.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 67
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Fri Oct 12 2018

Although Leslie continues to produce a compact area of deep
convection, microwave data since the previous advisory indicate
that the mid-level center is becoming more separated from the
low-level center due to increasing shear. Dvorak final-T numbers
have begun to decrease a bit, and the initial intensity is
therefore set at 70 kt. A cold front is beginning to wrap around
the western side of Leslie's circulation, and the global models
indicate that the cyclone should lose its warm core and become
fully embedded within the frontal zone by 24 hours, if not sooner.
Despite sea surface temperatures of 17-23 degrees Celsius ahead of
Leslie, baroclinic forcing is likely to maintain the system's
intensity as it becomes extratropical. As a result, Leslie is
forecast to reach the Iberian Peninsula as a hurricane-force
extratropical low, with the NHC intensity forecast most closely
following the GFS guidance. Rapid weakening is forecast once the
low moves inland, and the system should dissipate over the higher
terrain of Spain in about 48 hours.

The forward motion is east-northeastward, or 075/31 kt. Located
within the base of a progressive trough, Leslie should maintain
this trajectory, slowing down only a little bit before it reaches
Portugal and Spain in 24-36 hours. Except for the UKMET model,
which shows Leslie turning more northeastward toward the
northwestern Iberian Peninsula, the rest of the track guidance is
tightly clustered and brings the center inland across central
Portugal and western Spain. Because most of the models are in good
agreement and are close to the previous official forecast, no
significant changes were made to the NHC forecast on this cycle.

Based on coordination from earlier today, the meteorological
services of Portugal and Spain will handle hazard information for
their respective countries via local weather products.


Key Messages:

1. Leslie is expected to bring near hurricane-force winds to
portions of Portugal late Saturday as a powerful post-tropical
cyclone. Gale-force winds are also likely to affect portions of
western Spain Saturday night and Sunday.

2. Leslie is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 25 to 75 mm (1

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM AST (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Leslie was located
near latitude 34.4 North, longitude 22.4 West. Leslie is moving
toward the east-northeast near 35 mph (56 km/h). A fast motion
toward the east-northeast is expected to continue through Saturday,
followed by a slower east-northeastward motion Saturday night and
Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Leslie will pass north
of Madeira Island tonight and early Saturday, approach the
southwestern portion of the Iberian Peninsula on Saturday, and
move inland over portions of the Iberian Peninsula late Saturday and
Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts. Leslie is expected to transition into a hurricane-force
post-tropical cyclone on Saturday. Weakening is forecast after
Leslie moves inland over the Iberian Peninsula, and the post-
tropical cyclone is expected to dissipate by Monday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km), mainly
to the south of the center. Tropical-storm-force winds extend
outward up to 230 miles (370 km) from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 972 mb (28.70 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected on Madeira Island
early Saturday.

Post-tropical Leslie will bring winds to near hurricane-force to
portions of Portugal late Saturday, and tropical-storm-force winds
to portions of western Spain late Saturday and Saturday night.
Please see products from your local meteorological service for more
information on this hazard.

RAINFALL: Leslie is expected to produce total rain amounts of 1 to
3 inches (25 to 75 mm) with localized amounts up to 4 inches (100
mm) across Portugal and portions of Spain through Sunday night.
This rainfall may lead to some instances of flash flooding.

SURF: Swells generated by Leslie will likely affect portions of
the Azores, Madeira Island, and the Canary Islands through Saturday
and will reach the Atlantic coasts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco
over the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
local weather office.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 66
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Fri Oct 12 2018

Leslie remains a well organized tropical cyclone, with a fairly
symmetric central dense overcast, and hints of an eye in both
conventional and microwave satellite imagery. A 1738 UTC SSMIS
microwave overpass shows that there is some northeast to southwest
tilt, due to an increase in westerly shear. Some slight weakening
is foreast tonight while Leslie moves over cool SSTs of 23 to 24
degrees Celsius and into an area of increasing westerly shear.
However, Leslie is forecast to transition into a powerful hurricane-
force post-tropical cyclone in about 24 hours as it interacts with
an approaching trough. The post-tropical cyclone is expected to make
landfall along the west coast of the Iberian Peninsula shortly
thereafter, and it should weaken due to land interaction after that
time. The system is forecast to dissipate inland by Monday.

Leslie continues to race across the far eastern Atlantic, with an
initial motion estimate of 070/30 kt. The global models are now
unanimous in taking Leslie quickly east-northeastward on the south
side of a strong longwave trough over the northeast Atlantic. The
official track foreast as been adjusted northward and is
significantly faster than before, and brings the center of Leslie
over the coast of the Iberian Peninsula by 0000 UTC Sunday. The
system is likely to dissipate over the high terrain of Spain
within a couple of days, but a 48-h forecast point is shown for
continuity. Now that the track guidance is in much better
agreement, confidence in the NHC track forecast has increased.

After coordination with the meteorological services of Portugal and
Spain, they have decided to provide information on the wind hazard
with local products.

Key Messages:

1. Leslie is expected to bring near hurricane-force winds on
Saturday to portions of Portugal as a powerful post-tropical
cyclone. Tropical-storm-force winds are also likely to affect
portions of western Spain.

2. Leslie is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 25 to 75 mm (1

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
* Madeira Island

Interests in the Portugal and Spain should monitor the progress of
Leslie. Additional information on this system can be found in
products from the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere at
www.ipma.pt. Interests in Spain should refer to products from the
State Meteorological Agency at www.aemet.es.

A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Leslie was located
near latitude 33.9 North, longitude 24.1 West. Leslie is moving
toward the east-northeast near 35 mph (56 km/h). A fast motion
toward the east-northeastward is expected to continue through
Saturday, followed by a slower east-northeastward motion Saturday
night and Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Leslie will
pass north of Madeira Island tonight and early Saturday, approach
the southwestern portion of the Iberian Peninsula on Saturday, and
move inland over portions of the Iberian Peninsula late Saturday
and Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts. Leslie is expected to transition into a hurricane-force
post-tropical cyclone on Saturday. Weakening is forecast after
Leslie moves inland over the Iberian Peninsula, and the post-
tropical cyclone is expected to dissipate by Monday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km),
mainly to the south of the center. Tropical-storm-force winds extend
outward up to 230 miles (370 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 971 mb (28.68 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected on Madeira Island
beginning early Saturday.

Post-tropical Leslie will bring winds to near hurricane-force to
portions of Portugal late Saturday, and tropical-storm-force winds
to portions of western Spain late Saturday and Saturday night.
Please see products from your local meteorological service for more
information on this hazard.

RAINFALL: Leslie is expected to produce total rain amounts of 1 to
3 inches (25 to 75 mm) with localized amounts up to 4 inches (100
mm) across Portugal and portions of Spain through Sunday night.
This rainfall may lead to some instances of flash flooding.

SURF: Swells generated by Leslie will likely affect portions of
the Azores, Madeira Island and the Canary Islands through Saturday
and will reach the Atlantic coasts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco
over the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
local weather office.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 65
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Fri Oct 12 2018

Leslie's cloud pattern continues to feature a central dense
overcast, but with only hints of an eye in visible imagery. A
partial northern eyewall was noted on a 0910Z SSMIS overpass. Dvorak
intensity estimates have decreased slightly, and based on this, the
initial intensity has been conservatively nudged down to 75 kt. The
wind field is quite large, especially south of the center, as
confirmed by a pair of recent ASCAT passes, and the initial wind
radii have been adjusted using those data.

The initial motion estimate is now 070/28. Leslie is moving quickly
east-northeastward on the southern side of a powerful longwave
trough centered over the north Atlantic. The track forecast
reasoning has changed since the last advisory, with the GFS, ECMWF,
and now the 06Z run of the UKMET all showing a more eastward motion
of Leslie toward the Iberian Peninsula as the cyclone is picked up
by the aforementioned trough. The new NHC track forecast has been
adjusted significantly to the north and east, especially beyond 24
hours, but still lies to the south of and is slower than the GFS and
ECMWF. Once the system moves inland, the low-level center should
dissipate over the high terrain, but a 72 hour remnant low point is
included for continuity purposes. Needless to say, confidence in the
official track forecast beyond 24 hours is quite low given the
recent shift in the models, and further adjustments will likely be
necessary.

The intensity forecast shows Leslie only slowly weakening as a
tropical cyclone during the next 24 hours due to a combination of
cool SSTs and increasing shear from the trough. However, simulated
satellite imagery and model fields suggest that Leslie will
transition to a powerful post-tropical cyclone by 36 hours, likely
still at hurricane intensity as shown by the global models.
Weakening is expected after the trough passes Leslie by, and the
mid-level circulation will likely be sheared away by strong
upper-level winds.

Leslie is expected to bring significant rain and wind impacts to
portions of Portugal and Spain by Sunday, and residents in those
areas should refer to products from their local meteorological
services for more information on these hazards.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 64
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Fri Oct 12 2018

Leslie has changed little in organization since the last advisory.
The eye is currently not apparent in conventional satellite imagery,
although recent microwave overpasses indicate at least a partial
eyewall is present under the overcast. Satellite intensity
estimates have changed little, so the initial intensity is held at
80 kt.

The initial motion is now 065/24. The guidance is in good
agreement that this general motion should continue for 24 h or so.
After that, there is a major model divergence. The GFS, ECMWF, and
the various consensus models now show a continued east-northeast
motion until landfall in Portugal or Spain. On the other hand, the
UKMET, UK ensemble mean, and Canadian models show a turn toward the
south and then back to the west. Since the previous forecast showed
a southward and westward turn, the new forecast track will also
follow this scenario. However, it is shifted well to the east of
the previous track due to the forecasts of the other models.
Needless to say, the latter portion of the track forecast is low
confidence.

Leslie should gradually weaken as it approaches Madeira Island
during the next 24-36 h. After that, the intensity forecast is
dependent on what track the cyclone takes. If it follows the
GFS/ECMWF scenario, the system would likely make landfall on the
Iberian peninsula and quickly dissipate. If it follows the UKMET
scenario, a combination of shear, cool water, and dry air
entrainment should cause weakening. Since the track forecast is
closer to the UKMET scenario, the intensity forecast follows the
previous forecast in having Leslie decay to a post-tropical low by
72 h. However, this is also a low confidence forecast due to the
uncertainties in the track forecast.

CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:

None.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
* Madeira Island

A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Leslie was located
near latitude 31.4 North, longitude 32.4 West. Leslie is moving
toward the east-northeast near 26 mph (43 km/h). A continued
east-northeast motion with an increase in forward speed is expected
through Friday. Leslie is forecast to slow down and turn toward the
east or east-southeast by Saturday. On the forecast track, Leslie
will pass near Madeira Island by late Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some gradual weakening is forecast during the next 72 hours,
and Leslie could transition into a post-tropical low by Sunday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 75 miles (120 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205
miles (335 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 969 mb (28.62 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected on Madeira Island
beginning early Saturday.

RAINFALL: Leslie is expected to produce storm total accumulations
of 3 to 6 inches across Madeira Island through Sunday. This could
lead to flash flooding and landslides over mountainous terrain.

SURF: Swells generated by Leslie will likely affect portions of
the Azores, Madeira Island and the Canary Islands through Saturday
and could reach the Atlantic coasts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco
over the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
local weather office.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 63
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Thu Oct 11 2018

Satellite images indicate that Leslie has continued to strengthen.
A small eye has occasionally been apparent, although it has
recently become obscured by clouds. ASCAT data showed peak winds
of 75 kt earlier, and given the low bias of that instrument at those
wind speeds, the initial wind speed is set to 80 kt. Leslie should
begin to weaken in about 24 hours as the hurricane encounters cool
waters and a higher-shear environment. Intensity guidance is
tightly clustered around the previous NHC prediction, and little
change is made in the new advisory. By 72 hours, a combination of
very dry air aloft, waters near 23.5C, and high shear should cause
Leslie to lose convection and transition into a post-tropical
cyclone.

Leslie continues to accelerate east-northeastward with an initial
motion estimate of 070/23 kt. The hurricane should move rapidly
in that general direction for the next day or so ahead of a
mid-latitude trough, then bend eastward and southward as the main
steering mechanism switches to the eastern Atlantic subtropical
ridge. There is still a large guidance spread, over 700 miles at
day 3, but the main change to report is that more of the models are
continuing the east-northeastward track longer, possibly due to
Leslie becoming a stronger system. The official forecast is
shifted to the east, but is still well to the southwest of the
model consensus, ironically similar to last night's forecast.

Leslie is a fairly large tropical cyclone and the forecast wind
radii encompass Madeira Island within 36 hours. Consequently, a
tropical storm warning has been issued for that island. It is the
first known tropical storm warning for that place, and there are
no known tropical storms in the historical record anywhere
within 100 miles of that island, with the closest being Vince of
2005.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 62
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Thu Oct 11 2018

Leslie's inner-core structure has improved a little during the day
today. A ragged banding eye was present in visible imagery until
sunset, though this feature is not apparent in IR imagery. Recent
satellite intensity estimates range from 65 kt to 90 kt, so Leslie's
intensity has been raised to 75 kt as a compromise of all available
estimates.

Leslie continues to accelerate east-northeastward with an initial
motion estimate of 065/18 kt. Confidence remains high that Leslie
will continue gaining speed on that heading for the next 24 h or
so. Beyond that time, the ensemble spread is still very high,
though the 12Z deterministic global models are generally in
agreement that Leslie will separate from a mid-level trough, slow
down, and turn southward over the weekend. While the exact timing of
this turn is still highly uncertain, the multi-model consensus
brings Leslie near Madeira Island on Saturday as a tropical storm.
The new official forecast shows a very similar track, and the
government of Portugal has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for that
island. While the exact path of Leslie is still uncertain, the
cyclone is still expected to produce tropical storm conditions over
a wide area through Saturday, and interests on Madeira should not
focus on the exact track of Leslie.

No large changes in intensity are anticipated during the next 24 h,
though some fluctuations are possible, up or down. By 36 h, Leslie
will reach much cooler waters and encounter an increase in wind
shear which should lead to steady weakening. The intensity guidance
is in surprisingly good agreement given the continued large track
spread, and the NHC intensity forecast is near the middle of the
guidance envelope from 36 h onward. By 96 h, odds are increasing
that Leslie could lose all of its convection and become
post-tropical, though this possibility still depends heavily on
Leslie following a track similar to the NHC official forecast.

hurricane has a ragged banding eye surrounded by a somewhat patchy
central dense overcast. Recent Dvorak classifications from TAFB
and SAB are unchanged, and still support an initial intensity of
70 kt.

For days now, it has been clear that Leslie will accelerate
east-northeastward on the south side of a mid-latitude trough
moving across the North Atlantic. That acceleration is well underway
now, and the initial motion estimate is 060/14 kt. It has been
unclear, however, when (or if) Leslie could separate from this
trough and begin to drift southward over the eastern Atlantic. The
model spread has remarkably increased since yesterday, and nearly
1/3 of the members of the most recent GFS and ECMWF ensemble runs no
longer forecast Leslie to separate from the trough at all, instead
showing the cyclone approaching western Europe as an extratropical
low. Even the deterministic model spread has increased, and the
two NOAA regional hurricane models, the HWRF and HMON, are nearly
2300 miles apart at day 5. Through 48 h, the official track forecast
is very similar to the previous advisory, but it has been adjusted
eastward beyond that time, to bring it closer to the most recent
deterministic multi-model consensus. Confidence in the track
forecast is not high at 72 h and beyond, and it's possible that
large changes could still be required to future advisories.

Leslie should remain in a generally favorable environment for
strengthening during the next 24-36 h, and slight intensification
is still expected, though the official intensity forecast is now on
the high side of the guidance through this period. By 48 h and
onward, Leslie will be moving into a far more stable environment
and over cooler waters, so steady weakening is anticipated. If
Leslie follows a track similar to the NHC forecast, it will likely
become a weak post-tropical low within 96 h. However, if Leslie
undergoes extratropical transition, its worth noting that the
maximum winds associated with the cyclone would likely be higher
than indicated here.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 60
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Thu Oct 11 2018

The cloud pattern of Leslie has not changed significantly
overnight. The hurricane has a large and ragged eye with deep
convection most organized on its east side. The Dvorak CI-numbers
are unchanged at 4.0/65 kt from TAFB and 4.5/77 kt from SAB, and
based on these data, the initial intensity is held at 70 kt.

Leslie will remain in low wind shear conditions and over relatively
warm waters for another day or two, so little change in strength is
expected during that time. Thereafter, the hurricane is forecast
to move over waters as cool as 24 deg C and into an atmospheric
environment of stronger shear and drier air. All of these
conditions point to a weakening trend, which is likely to begin by
the weekend. Most of the guidance shows a cold front approaching
Leslie, but not quite merging with it so extratropical transition is
not expected. However, it seems likely that Leslie will lose its
convection and become a weaker post-tropical low in about 4 days.
This scenario is supported by the latest runs of the GFS, ECMWF, and
HWRF models.

Leslie has made the expected east-northeastward turn with the latest
initial motion estimated to be 065/9. This east-northeastward motion
with an increase in forward speed is forecast to continue for the
next 2 days while the steering pattern holds. After that time,
however, it becomes much less clear. The models continue to
struggle and keep changing their tune cycle to cycle on whether or
not Leslie continues east-northeastward toward Morocco or Portugal,
or gets left behind and moves west-southwestward due to a building
ridge. The ensemble members of both the GFS and ECMWF favor the
left behind (or southwestward) solution, and the NHC track forecast
continues to lean in that direction. This forecast does show Leslie
moving farther east before it makes the southwestward turn to be in
better agreement with the latest consensus aids.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 59
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Wed Oct 10 2018

The overall cloud pattern of Leslie has become somewhat better
organized over the past several hours with increasing convection
in the central dense overcast and tighter banding features. A blend
of the subjective Dvorak and microwave estimates suggest an initial
wind speed of 70 kt for this advisory.

Satellite fixes indicate that Leslie has turned toward the east-
northeast and is moving faster at about 10 kt. The track forecast
really hinges on whether Leslie gets accelerated in southwesterly
flow ahead of an eastern Atlantic trough or gets dropped by that
trough and turns southwestward around a new subtropical ridge.
Sadly, the forecast agreement from the previous advisory has
disintegrated, with all of the GFS-based guidance now indicating a
track more toward Europe, while the ECMWF/UKMET send Leslie in the
exact opposite direction toward the east-central Atlantic. I
clearly drew the small straw in having to make Leslie's forecast
tonight because this situation is resulting in one of the largest
guidance spreads I have seen, about 1000 miles on day 3 and over
2000 miles at day 5. Furthermore, the corrected-consensus guidance
is closer to the GFS guidance, which is way to the northeast of the
previous forecast. The new forecast will somewhat reflect the
latest guidance, showing an adjustment to the east, but is still
hundreds of miles to the southwest of the latest model consensus.
Obviously this is a zero-confidence forecast tonight.

Marginally warm waters and moderate shear could support additional
strengthening of Leslie during the next day or two, although the
guidance is generally lower than yesterday. By Saturday, colder
ocean waters, higher shear and a drier mid-level atmosphere should
cause Leslie to weaken. No significant changes were made to the
previous intensity forecast. By Monday, Leslie, whether it follows
the forecast track or not, will likely be struggling to produce
convection or have already transitioned into an extratropical low.
Thus the 5 day point shows post-tropical status, perhaps
optimistically, but this seems like the most likely option for now.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 58
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Wed Oct 10 2018

Leslie has held nearly steady since this morning. Recent microwave
data indicate that the cyclone still has a fairly well-defined
inner-core that has persisted, though the deepest convection has
fluctuated since last night. Satellite intensity estimates have
fluctuated with the convection, but still support an initial value
of 65 kt for this advisory. The last few IR and visible images
before sunset suggest that Leslie may be developing a banding eye,
and it's possible the intensity estimate is a little conservative.

The track uncertainty is hopefully beginning to decrease a little.
The most recent GFS and ECMWF ensembles are converging on a solution
where Leslie accelerates east-northeastward on the south side of a
mid-latitude trough, before separating from the trough over the
weekend. The cyclone could then turn southward, and eventually back
westward as a much weaker tropical cyclone or remnant low. This is
generally consistent with previous NHC forecasts, so no large
changes were required to the NHC forecast which is heavily based on
the HFIP Corrected Consensus.

Leslie is still expected to strengthen soon, and there has been no
significant change to the intensity forecast. By 72 h, if not
sooner, the hurricane will begin to encounter colder ocean waters
and high shear, which should cause it to weaken. If Leslie follows
the forecast track, it is possible that the system could become a
post-tropical remnant low by early next week, and this is forecast
by some of the global models. However, this is not explicitly shown
in the NHC forecast and Leslie's strength and status early next week
will likely heavily depend on its track at that time. The official
forecast is close to the intensity consensus at all forecast hours,
and the intensity model spread is not very large.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 57
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Wed Oct 10 2018

Leslie has continued to get better organized this morning, and
several recent microwave overpasses indicate that the hurricane is
maintaining a well-defined mid-level eye. However, objective and
subjective intensity estimates have not increased, so the intensity
has been held at 65 kt. All of the intensity guidance forecasts
that Leslie will resume intensifying later today. Given that the
hurricane is located in a low shear environment and crossing over
the warmest waters it has encountered in days, this seems very
likely. No change was made to the intensity forecast through 48 h.
Beyond that time, the intensity forecast is still tied to the track
forecast, and the farther south and west Leslie remains, the
stronger it will likely be. Extratropical transition also can not
be ruled out, which would likely result in a higher intensity by day
5 that indicated by the NHC forecast. The official intensity
forecast is still close to the model consensus through day 5, but a
large range of possibilities exists by that time, from Leslie
becoming a weak post-tropical low, to maintaining near hurricane
strength.

The spread in the track guidance is still very large and confidence
in the track forecast is low. The most recent ECMWF ensemble has a
5-day spread of over 1500 n mi, while the 5-day GFS ensemble spread
is over 1300 n mi. Leslie is forecast to slow down today and turn
toward the east-northeast. A faster motion in that direction is
anticipated by tomorrow as a mid-latitude trough approaches from
the northwest. Leslie will then either undergo extratropical
transition and lift northward, continue westward and become a
remnant low, or separate from the trough and turn back west. The
NHC forecast is near the track consensus at all times and no large
changes to the forecast were made since the future track of the
cyclone has not become more clear.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 56
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Wed Oct 10 2018

Geostationary satellite and microwave images indicate that Leslie
has a large and ragged banded eye feature with deep convection most
organized over the northern semicircle. Since the Dvorak
classifications from TAFB and SAB are unchanged at 4.0/65 kt, the
initial wind speed is held at that value. Leslie has another day or
two to strengthen while it remains in low wind shear conditions and
over marginally warm waters. After that time, an increase in shear
and lower SSTs should cause Leslie to weaken. It is possible that
Leslie could become a post-tropical cyclone by day 5, but confidence
is not high on that occurring. The NHC intensity forecast is
largely an update of the previous one and it lies at the high end of
the model guidance.

Leslie is now moving southward at 9 kt in the flow on the southwest
side of a broad mid- to upper-level trough. A slower south-
southeastward motion is expected during the day today as the
trough pulls away. A turn to the east-northeast is expected tonight
as another trough approaches Leslie from the northwest, and that
motion with an increase in forward speed is expected through early
this weekend. After that time, the models are coming into better
agreement in showing Leslie being left behind and moving
southwestward on Sunday and Monday as a ridge builds to its
northwest. The NHC track forecast is adjusted southward at days 3
to 5 to be closer to the latest consensus aids. Although the
deterministic models are in better agreement this cycle, there is
still a lot of spread in the GFS and ECMWF ensemble members and
confidence in the track forecast remains fairly low.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 55
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Tue Oct 09 2018

Satellite and microwave data indicate that Leslie has become a
hurricane again, almost exactly a week after it did the first time.
A WindSat pass from earlier today showed the development of an eye
feature, and with the Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB at
hurricane strength, the initial wind speed is set to 65 kt. The
latest GOES-16 proxy visible imagery suggests that a ragged eye has
formed, although the eyewall is open on the southwestern side.

Leslie is atypically intensifying while moving south-southeastward
at 8 kt. The hurricane should continue to lose latitude for a day
or so then get accelerated east-northeastward by a mid-latitude
trough until Friday. After that time, there is a ginormous spread
in the model ensembles with Leslie's final destination ranging from
Ireland all the way to missing the trough and turning around to the
southwest due to a building eastern Atlantic subtropical ridge.
Compared to 12 hours ago, more of the ensemble members are showing
Leslie getting left behind, which is also reflected in the latest
deterministic runs as well. Something tells me that Leslie has at
least one more trick up its sleeve, so the official forecast shows
this trend, but is very low confidence.

With fairly low shear and marginally warm waters for the next day
or two, there is no reason to expect that Leslie won't continue to
intensify. Model guidance is higher than the last cycle, with the
normally conservative ECMWF and GFS models even suggesting that
Leslie becomes a category 2 hurricane in a couple of days. Most of
the rest of the guidance is lower than those models, but the
intensity forecast is shaded in the direction of the ECMWF/GFS,
and is higher than the last NHC prediction. After that time, an
increase in shear and lower SSTs should cause Leslie to weaken. It
is even possible it will become a post-tropical cyclone by day 5,
but I'm not going to show that at this time since I was too
premature last night in this transition.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 54
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Tue Oct 09 2018

Leslie's appearance on visible imagery has improved through the
afternoon, and multiple microwave overpasses show the development of
a small mid-level eye. The intensity has been increased to 60 kt
based on an average of the most recent Dvorak classifications from
TAFB and SAB. Leslie is moving over warmer waters and the wind
shear is expected to be low, so additional strengthening is
anticipated and Leslie is forecast to become a hurricane overnight.
Given the relatively favorable environment and the recent
organization of Leslie's inner-core, it is possible that Leslie
could intensify a little faster than currently indicated by the NHC
forecast. Beyond day 2, there is particularly low confidence in the
intensity forecast since the track of Leslie is highly uncertain,
and the NHC forecast essentially follows the intensity consensus. It
is likely that the farther south and west Leslie remains, the
stronger it will be.

Unfortunately the track forecast has not become any clearer.
Recent GFS and ECMWF ensemble forecasts still indicate that a range
of possibilities exist, from Leslie becoming extratropical and
heading toward the extreme northeast Atlantic, to Leslie turning
back west in a few days and persisting as a tropical cyclone. No
large changes were made to the track forecast at this time, since I
see no reason to commit to a new solution at this time. The NHC
forecast is close to HCCA at all forecast hours, but confidence is
low to say the least.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 53
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Tue Oct 09 2018

Recent Dvorak fixes and ASCAT data indicate that Leslie's maximum
winds remain around 55 kt. Although the winds have not yet
increased, the surface center of the tropical storm has become more
embedded within its cold cloud tops and several recent microwave
overpasses indicate that the cyclone is beginning to establish an
inner-core. Strengthening is therefore still expected, and Leslie is
forecast to become a hurricane by tomorrow. The tropical storm is
currently moving south-southeastward at around 11 kt, and the models
are in good agreement that a south-southeastward to southward motion
will continue for the next 24 h or so.

Beginning around 36 h, both the track and intensity forecasts become
very uncertain. In general, most of the global models and their
ensembles indicate that Leslie will begin to accelerate toward the
east-northeast or northeast by Thursday as a mid-latitude trough
approaches from the northwest, however the timing and extent of the
interaction is still highly variable from model to model. Based on
the GFS and ECMWF ensembles, a range of possibilities exists, from
Leslie essentially merging with this trough and becoming
extratropical over the far northeast Atlantic, to Leslie interacting
with the trough very little and continuing to meander over the
central Atlantic. There has been a significant change in the
consensus aids to show a slower track for Leslie based on recent
shifts in the deterministic models, but the NHC track forecast has
not been changed nearly as much, out of respect for continuity and
the high uncertainty in the forecast.

The low confidence in the track forecast beyond 36 h affects the
intensity forecast as well, since it is unclear what environment the
storm will be located within. The intensity forecast is therefore
held near the intensity consensus, and still calls for steady
strengthening during the next several days, followed by weakening by
the end of the forecast period. If Leslie moves as far east as
shown in the NHC track forecast, it would likely become a post-
tropical low by day 5, as shown explicitly in the forecast. However,
until confidence in the track increases, I can't rule out that
Leslie could remain a tropical cyclone almost indefinitely if it
continues meandering over the northern Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 52
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Tue Oct 09 2018

Leslie has been steady state overnight. The low-level center is
estimated to be on the southern side of a persistent area of deep
convection. The satellite intensity estimates are largely
unchanged, so the initial intensity is held at 55 kt for this
advisory.

The tropical storm is moving southeastward at 11 kt steered by the
flow on the southwest side of a broad mid- to upper-level trough.
This motion, but a slower pace, is expected during the next 24 to 36
hours as the trough pulls away. After that time, another trough is
expected to dig southward over the north Atlantic, which should
cause Leslie to accelerate east-northeastward. Although the models
are in fair agreement for the next few days, they remain in in poor
agreement on whether or not the trough will continue to carry Leslie
eastward or leave the storm behind around day 5. The GFS and ECMWF
have flip flopped, with the GFS now showing Leslie meandering over
the east Atlantic by day 5 and the ECMWF moving the system eastward
toward Morocco. The ensemble spread remains large in those two
global models and there has not been much run-to-run consistency
either. The NHC track forecast remains near the various consensus
aids, which is usually a good place to be when there is considerable
uncertainty like this.

Leslie should slowly strengthen during the next few days while
it moves over slightly warmer waters and into a more moist
environment. These favorable conditions should allow Leslie to
become a hurricane once again, likely within a day or two.
Weakening is expected to commence this weekend when Leslie is
forecast to move over cooler waters and into an atmosphere of
stronger shear and drier air, and the system is forecast to become
post-tropical by day 5. However, the long range intensity forecast
is strongly linked to where Leslie will be, so since the track
forecast is uncertain, the intensity prediction is likewise.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 51
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Mon Oct 08 2018

Satellite and microwave data show that Leslie continues to have a
small central dense overcast, with the latest microwave images
suggesting that Leslie is forming a mid-level eye. Although deep
convection has recently decreased somewhat, all of the 00Z intensity
estimates were 55 kt or higher, so the wind speed is set to that
value.

There is no significant change in initial motion- still
southeastward at about 12 kt. Leslie should slow down and turn
toward the south-southeast during the next day or two as the cyclone
becomes steered by a mid-level ridge over the central Atlantic.
A new trough moves into the eastern Atlantic after that time, which
should eject Leslie generally east-northeastward to the south of the
Azores. Models continue to be in poor agreement on whether that
trough will accelerate Leslie quickly to the northeast at long range
or drop the cyclone to the southwest of Portugal. The recent
GFS-based guidance has generally shifted southward and is slower,
more in line with the 12Z UK/ECMWF models. The new NHC forecast
follows that trend, but is still on the northern side of the
consensus due to continuity concerns, and additional southward
adjustments could be required on later advisories.

Leslie is forecast to move across marginally warm waters within a
moderate shear but a more moist environment over the next few days.
These conditions are likely to support slow strengthening, and
model guidance is in general agreement on this scenario. Only
minor adjustments were made to the previous forecast, and the NHC
forecast remains between the intensity consensus and corrected-
consensus aids. By day 5, increasing shear and cold waters
should weaken Leslie, and it will probably lose convection to
transition into a post-tropical cyclone.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 50
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Mon Oct 08 2018

GOES-16 data indicate that Leslie has a small central dense overcast
with an inner core trying to form on the last few visible images.
Convection has also deepened somewhat, and the overall cloud pattern
is becoming more symmetric. All signs point to strengthening and
the Dvorak estimates are increasing. So for Leslie's 50th
advisory, the wind speed is raised to 50 kt, near the CIMSS ADT
value.

Leslie is moving southeastward at about 12 kt; an unusually fast
pace for this direction. The storm is forecast to slow down
somewhat and turn toward the south-southeast during the next day or
two as the cyclone separates from the mid-latitude flow temporarily
and becomes steered by a mid-level ridge over the central Atlantic.
Fortunately the ridge isn't strong enough for Leslie to move
westward again, and the models all eject Leslie northeastward
because of a deepening trough over the eastern Atlantic. There has
been a notable trend southward through 48 hours, and the official
forecast follows that idea. The forecast becomes a nightmare at
long range, however, with very little agreement on whether Leslie is
accelerated ahead of the trough, like the latest FV3GFS, or gets
left behind again, like the ECMWF. These differences result in a
1200 mile spread of the historically reliable models by day 5,
resulting in a very low confidence forecast. The bulk of the
guidance is now indicating that the "left behind" option is becoming
more likely, but continuity dictates making forecast changes in
smaller chunks. So the official forecast is much slower and farther
south at long range, but is well north of the latest model
consensus. Further southward adjustments could be required if model
trends continue.

Interestingly, model guidance is becoming more certain on Leslie
becoming a hurricane again as it moves over warmer (but still
marginally warm) waters, into a lighter-shear and higher mid-level
humidity enviroment. This makes some sense given that the track is
shifting southward and Leslie should finally move over a warmer
portion of the subtropical Atlantic that it hasn't touched yet. Thus
the intensity forecast is higher than the previous one, and the
corrected-consensus models even suggest category 2 as a peak
intensity is possible. By day 5, increasing shear and cooler waters
should weaken Leslie, and it could be undergoing extratropical
transition at that time.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 49
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Mon Oct 08 2018

For the fourth (and hopefully final) time as a tropical or
subtropical cyclone, Leslie has crossed 48W. The convective pattern
of the tropical storm hasn't changed significantly over the past
several hours, though there is some evidence of a convective band
attempting to wrap around the western side of the storm. The
initial intensity is still 45 kt, based on a blend of the most
recent current intensity estimates from TAFB, SAB, and the UW-CIMSS
SATCON.

There has been little change in the intensity forecast. Just about
all of the typically reliable intensity models still call for
Leslie to gradually strengthen over the next 3 days, despite
marginal SSTs. All of the dynamical models call for Leslie to
become a hurricane once again by 72 h, but SHIPS and LGEM
are a little lower. The official intensity forecast remains near
the HCCA and IVCN consensus aids, and calls for Leslie to become a
hurricane by the end of the week.

Leslie has continued to move east-southeastward, now at 12 kt, and
the global models are in good agreement that this motion will
continue through today. After that time, most of the guidance
generally shows that Leslie will separate from a mid-latitude
trough, causing the tropical storm to turn toward the southeast or
south-southeast and slow down. A day or so after that, another
mid-latitude trough will approach from the west and cause Leslie to
accelerate toward the east-northeast. The timing of Leslie's
acceleration is still very uncertain, and the model spread beyond
72 h remains very high. Until the spread decreases, I don't feel
confident making a big change to the forecast, so the official track
forecast has only been slightly tweaked to bring it closer to HCCA
and TVCN.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 48
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Mon Oct 08 2018

There has not been a lot of change with Leslie overnight. Deep
convection is still organized in curved bands near and to the north
of the center, but there is some dry air entraining into the
western side of the circulation. A blend of the latest satellite
intensity estimates supports holding the initial intensity at 45 kt.

Leslie is over cool 24 deg C waters, but it will be headed over
slightly warmer waters during the next few days while remaining in
low wind shear conditions. Therefore, slow strengthening is
expected and most of the intensity models show Leslie reaching
hurricane strength once again within the next 3 to 4 days. By the
end of the period, cooler waters and an increase in shear could
cause some weakening. The NHC intensity forecast is a little higher
than the previous one, to trend toward the latest IVCN and HCCA
guidance.

Leslie is moving east-southeastward at 11 kt steered by the flow on
the south side of a broad mid- to upper-level trough over the north
Atlantic. An east-southeast to southeast motion is expected during
the next couple of days as the trough passes by to the north of
Leslie. After that time, another large-scale trough will approach
Leslie from the northwest and that should cause the storm to turn
east-northeastward at a faster pace in the 4 to 5 day time frame.
The models have come into a better agreement this cycle showing a
faster and more northward motion at the end of the period, and the
NHC forecast has been adjusted accordingly.

1100 PM AST Sun Oct 07 2018

Leslie's cloud pattern consists of a large and vigorous circulation,
but the convection is shallow at this time. Dvorak numbers only
support an initial intensity of 45 kt. Some fluctuations in
intensity are expected over the next 24 to 36 hours, while Leslie
is over fairly cool SSTs. After that time, Leslie will encounter
warmer waters, and since the shear is low, some re-intensification
is anticipated. Leslie will likely become a hurricane once again
by the end of the week as indicated by the guidance.

Leslie is still moving east-southeastward at about 11 kt. Since
Leslie is embedded within the mid-latitude westerly flow, this
general motion will likely continue for the next 2 days or so.
This is consistent with most of the track guidance, which continue
to show a southeastward motion of the cyclone during that period.
Another shortwave trough in the westerlies will bypass the cyclone,
but will modify the steering flow, and Leslie should then turn to
the east-northeast. It should be emphasized that confidence in the
track forecast remains low.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 46
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Sun Oct 07 2018

Late-arriving ASCAT data from shortly after 1200 UTC indicated that
Leslie is still producing winds of just below 45 kt, primarily in
the southwest and northeast quadrants of the tropical storm.
Assuming at least a little undersampling has occurred, this would
support an initial intensity of 45 or 50 kt, while an average of
more recent intensity estimates from SAB, TAFB, and the UW-CIMSS
is 50 kt. The initial value is therefore held at 50 kt.

Regardless of the exact initial intensity of Leslie, only slight
fluctuations are expected over the next 24 to 36 hours while Leslie
is over fairly cool SSTs, in part because it will be crossing its
own previous track multiple times. Beyond 48 h, the intensity
guidance is now in better agreement that some intensification
will occur, and Leslie is forecast to become a hurricane once again
by the end of the week. The NHC intensity forecast is a little
higher than the previous advisory by the end of the forecast
period, and is close to IVCN at all times.

Leslie is still moving east-southeastward with an initial speed of 9
kt, and this general motion will likely continue for at least the
next day or two while the tropical storm is steered by westerly flow
associated with a mid-latitude trough to its north. Most of the
global models still forecast that Leslie will separate from the
trough in a few days and turn southeastward, and there are still
large differences on exactly when that will occur. The deterministic
runs of the GFS and ECMWF have come into better agreement on the
future track of Leslie, but the ensembles of those models indicate
that the range of possible tracks hasn't actually decreased.
Confidence in the track forecast therefore remains quite low. In
general, the guidance suite has shifted to the south and west,
particularly between 36 and 96 h. The official track forecast has
been shifted in that direction to bring it closer to the track
consensus. However, it should be emphasized that confidence in the
track forecast remains low at this time.

1100 AM AST Sun Oct 07 2018

Despite marginal SSTs near 24 deg C, Leslie has persisted with
little change in its structure. An average of the UW-CIMSS SATCON
and current intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB still supports an
initial intensity of 50 kt. Although Leslie is currently located in
a low-shear environment, GFS and ECMWF SHIPS diagnostics suggests
that mid-level humidities are fairly low, and the cyclone should
remain over marginal SSTs for the foreseeable future. All of the
intensity guidance forecasts little to no intensity change during
the next day or so. However, by 36 h, nearly all of the dynamical
models, both global and regional, forecast that Leslie will begin to
restrengthen. On the other hand, the statistical-dynamical models
do not forecast much change through day 5. The NHC forecast has
been adjusted a little higher to keep it close to the intensity
consensus, and I can't rule out that Leslie could become a hurricane
again at some point during the coming week.

No large changes were made to the NHC track forecast, but this
should not be interpreted as a sign of confidence in the forecast.
Leslie is currently moving with an initial motion of east-southeast,
or 115/9 kt. The track model spread is high from the very beginning
of the forecast, with the GFS and its associated regional models
indicating that Leslie will continue on a similar heading for the
next several days, while the ECMWF and UKMET forecast that Leslie
will slow down and turn soon turn toward the southeast or
south-southeast. The track forecast variance stems from differences
in how quickly the models show Leslie separating from a mid-level
trough to its north, if at all, and by day 5, the GFS and ECMWF
solutions vary by about 750 n mi. At this point, I don't have a good
reason to pick one solution over another, and it should be noted
that based on the ECMWF ensemble tracks, there is a whole spectrum
of possible solutions between these extremes. The NHC track forecast
therefore remains near the TVCN and GFEX aids as a course of least
regret, but significant changes could be required to future
advisories if the track of Leslie becomes more clear.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue through
tonight across the northeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda,
the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and Atlantic Canada. Please
consult products from your local weather office as these conditions
could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 44
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Sun Oct 07 2018

Leslie has not changed much overnight. The storm has several curved
bands to the east and north of the center, but a limited amount
of deep convection in the southwestern quadrant. The initial
intensity is held at 50 kt based on the steady state appearance
since the previous ASCAT pass. This estimate is also in fair
agreement with the latest Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB.
Leslie will likely fluctuate in strength during the next several
days, but it should remain a tropical storm through the forecast
period. Although some weakening is possible during the next day or
so due to cool 23 to 24 deg C waters, slight re-strengthening is
likely after that time when the system moves back over warmer waters
and remains in relatively low wind shear conditions. There could be
some increase in shear by the end of the forecast period, however,
which could result in slight weakening again. The models are in
fairly good agreement, and the NHC intensity forecast is close to
the IVCN and HCCA consensus models.

Leslie is moving eastward at 10 kt within the mid-latitude westerly
flow on the south side of a broad mid- to upper-level trough. This
trough is expected to amplify some, which should cause the storm to
move east-southeastward at a faster pace during the next few days.
A slight turn back to the east or east-northeast with a decrease
in forward speed is likely by the end of the forecast period when
the trough weakens. There is a significant amount of spread in
the models associated with differences on how fast they expect
Leslie to move. In fact, the GFS and ECMWF models are more than
1000 n mi apart by day 5. The NHC track forecast is a little slower
than the previous one at the end of the period to come in better
agreement with the latest consensus aids. Given the model spread,
the confidence in the long-range track forecast is low at this
time.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue through
tonight across the northeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda,
the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and Atlantic Canada. Please

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 43
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Sat Oct 06 2018

Leslie's convective organization has changed little since the
previous advisory, with a small burst of deep convection having
developed just southeast of the center. The intensity remains at 50
kt based on an average of current intensity estimates from TAFB and
SAB, which is supported by a partial ASCAT pass that showed several
45-kt surface wind vectors well east of the missed low-level center.

The initial motion estimate is easterly or 095/11 kt. Leslie is
forecast to remain embedded in weak mid-latitude west-northwesterly
flow for the next few days, which should keep the cyclone moving
toward the east-southeast over warmer water. By 72 h and beyond, a
stronger shortwave trough is forecast to dig to the west of Leslie,
lifting the cyclone out toward the east and northeast. The new NHC
forecast track is similar to, but a slower than, the previous
advisory track, but not as slow as the consensus models.

Leslie is expected to weaken slightly during the next 36 h as the
cyclone entrains some drier air. After that time, however, Leslie
is expected to move over warmer waters with SSTs reaching more than
25 deg C by 48 h and beyond while the shear is forecast to remain
low. As a result, some modest re-strengthening is forecast on days
2-5. The official intensity forecast closely follows the IVCN
intensity consensus model.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the northeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and Atlantic Canada.

The central convection associated with Leslie is still well
organized and concentrated. A recent SSMIS image shows that
Leslie's inner core is better defined resembling an eyewall.
However, Dvorak estimates still support an initial intensity
intensity of 50 kt.

Leslie should weaken slightly during the next 24 to 36 h as the
cyclone crosses patches of cooler SSTs. After that time, the track
takes the center back over warmer waters, but the shear could
increase a little. Only minor adjustments are made to the previous
intensity forecast, and the NHC forecast follows very close the
model consensus which suggests slight strengthening by the end of
the forecast period.

Leslie continues to be embedded within the mid-latitude westerlies
and is moving toward the east or 100 degrees at 10 kt. These
westerlies are forecast to be modulated by the passage of short
waves, and the flow pattern will initially keep Leslie on east to
east-southeast track for most of the forecast period. By the end of
the period a turn to the northeast is anticipated. Models are not
in great agreement but they are consistently showing the eastward
progression of the cyclone. The NHC forecast is very close to the
models consensus, and is basically in the middle of the track
envelope.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the northeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and Atlantic Canada.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 41

1100 AM AST Sat Oct 06 2018

The central convection associated with Leslie has become better
organized this morning, with conventional satellite imagery showing
a tightly curved band and recent microwave imagery showing a
mid-level eye. However, the microwave data also suggests the
mid-level eye is located to the southeast of the low-level center.
It is also not known whether there is an inner wind maximum
associated with this feature. Satellite intensity estimates are
mostly in the 45-55 kt range, so the initial intensity remains 50
kt.

The initial motion is now 080/8. Leslie is now in or near the
southern edge of the mid-latitude westerlies, and with the
assistance of a couple of shortwave troughs, these are expected to
push Leslie toward the east and southeast throughout the forecast
period. Despite general agreement on the synoptic pattern, there is
now a large spread in the guidance toward the end of the forecast
period. The ECMWF and UKMET show a more southward turn after 72 h,
taking Leslie well south of 30N. The GFS, on the other hand,
shows a more eastward motion to the point where by 96 h it is 950
n mi from the UKMET forecast position. The new forecast track
compromises between these extremes and lies near the TVCN consensus,
with the caveat that the part after 72 h is of low confidence.

Leslie should weaken some during the next 48 h or so as it crosses
an area of cooler sea surface temperatures. After that, the track
takes the center back over warmer water at the same time when there
may be an increase in shear. There is an increased uncertainty in
the intensity forecast caused by the track forecast uncertainties.
If Leslie moves closer to the GFS track, it will be over cooler
water and in stronger shear, while if it moves closer to the UKMET
solution it will be over warmer water and lighter shear. Due to to
the uncertainty, only minor adjustments are made to the previous
intensity forecast. Additional adjustments may be needed later
depending on changes in the track forecast.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the northeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and Atlantic Canada.
Please consult products from your local weather office as these
conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 40
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Sat Oct 06 2018

Leslie is producing a cluster of deep convection near its center of
circulation and a far-reaching band that curls around the eastern
side of the expansive circulation. The maximum winds are still
estimated to be 50 kt based on last evening's ASCAT pass. Leslie's
future intensity will largely be limited by a less-than-ideal
thermodynamic environment, with the center moving over water
temperatures of 24-25 degrees Celsius within its own cold wake
during the next 48 hours. Some weakening is anticipated during that
period, and the NHC forecast follows the intensity consensus and
HCCA guidance. After 48 hours, some restrengthening is possible
when Leslie reaches some warmer waters, although increasing
westerly shear is likely to temper the amount of intensification.

Leslie's current motion is northeastward, or 045/7 kt. The cyclone
is becoming increasingly embedded within the mid-latitude
westerlies, and these winds, with the assistance of a couple of
shortwave troughs, are expected to push Leslie toward the east and
southeast throughout the forecast period. The one notable model
anomaly is the ECMWF, which shows Leslie becoming more separated
from the mid-latitude flow and moving more slowly than shown in the
other models on days 3 through 5. Even with that model being an
outlier, the rest of the guidance has sped up a bit, pulling the
consensus aids eastward. This resulted in the new NHC track
forecast being a little faster than the previous one on days 4 and
5.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the eastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and Atlantic
Canada. Please consult products from your local weather office as
these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 39
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Fri Oct 05 2018

Leslie's cloud pattern consists of a small ring of shallow to
moderate convection embedded within a large and vigorous
circulation. Dvorak classifications allow me to keep the same
intensity, and in fact, ASCAT data just came in with a few 50-kt
wind vectors. So the initial intensity remains at 50 kt in this
advisory. Leslie will not encounter any hostile shear, but the
cyclone will move over a few patches of warm and cool waters. The
guidance shows some minor fluctuations in the cyclone intensity,
most likely due to the aforementioned SST variations along the
track, and this is reflected in the NHC forecast.

Leslie is moving toward the east-northeast or 075 degrees at 6 kt.
The cyclone is already embedded in the mid-latitude westerly flow,
which is being modulated by passing shortwaves. This flow pattern
is expected to persist and should steer Leslie eastward and
east-southeastward through the next 5 days. Although the track
guidance is not as clustered as in previous days, most of the models
agree with the eastward motion of the cyclone, but vary in speed. It
appears that stubborn Leslie will be with us for several more days.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the eastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and Atlantic
Canada. Please consult products from your local weather office as
these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 38
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Fri Oct 05 2018

Leslie is currently maintaining a small central convective feature
and an outer convective band in the southeastern semicircle. The
various satellite intensity estimates have decreased a little, so
the initial intensity is nudged downward to 50 kt. This is still a
little above the estimates from TAFB, SAB, and the CIMSS satellite
consensus. While no data was available from the inner core,
scatterometer overpasses this morning suggests that Leslie has
changed little in size since last night.

Leslie has now slowed its forward motion and is starting to turn
more eastward, with an initial motion of 030/3. A turn to the east
is expected during the next 24 h, followed by a turn toward the
east-southeast by 36 h as Leslie encounters the southern edge of the
mid-latitude westerlies. A general motion toward the east-southeast
or southeast should then continue for the remainder of the forecast
period. The latest guidance again shifted southward, and the new
forecast track, which is in best agreement with the TVCN consensus
model, is shifted to the south of the previous track

The forecast track again takes Leslie over cooler waters around day
2, into slightly stronger shear around day 3, and over warmer
water with decreasing shear around days 4-5. However, the structure
of Leslie is not currently conducive for rapid changes in intensity
either up or down. Thus, the intensity forecast, which has only
minor tweaks from the previous forecast, follows the trend of the
previous forecast and the guidance in showing gradual weakening near
48 h, followed by slight intensification near 96-120 h.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the eastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and Atlantic
Canada. Please consult products from your local weather office as
these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 37
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Fri Oct 05 2018

The structure of Leslie has changed little since the last advisory,
with a cluster of convection just north of the low-level center and
a second cluster well to the southeast of the center. The initial
intensity is held at 55 kt based mainly on continuity from earlier
scatterometer data, but it is possible that this is a little
generous. It should be noted that overall, Leslie has lost some
organization since this time yesterday due to the disappearance of
the eye and an overall decrease in convective banding.

Leslie appears to be slowing its forward speed, with the initial
motion now 345/8. A turn to the north and a slower forward speed
are expected during the next 12 h, followed by a turn toward the
east-southeast by 36 h as Leslie encounters the southern edge of the
mid-latitude westerlies. A general motion toward the east-southeast
or southeast should then continue for the remainder of the forecast
period. As noted in the previous advisory, there has been a
southward shift in the guidance, and the new forecast track is again
shifted a little to the south of the previous track. However, it
lies to the north of the HCCA and TVCN consensus models.

The forecast track takes Leslie over cooler waters around days 2-3,
into increasing shear around days 3-4, and over warmer water with
decreasing shear around days 4-5. However, the structure of Leslie
is not currently conducive for rapid changes in intensity either up
or down. Thus, the intensity forecast follows the trend of the
previous forecast and the guidance in showing gradual weakening for
48-72 h, followed by slight intensification near 96-120 h.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also increase near the coasts of New England and
Atlantic Canada later today. Please consult products from your
local weather office as these conditions could cause life-
threatening surf and rip currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 36
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Fri Oct 05 2018

Leslie's structure has evolved somewhat just within the past 6
hours. Deep convection has redeveloped near the low-level center,
although it is displaced a bit to the north due to some southerly
shear. The cyclone's circulation remains quite large, and earlier
ASCAT data indicated that the radius of maximum winds is about
90-100 n mi away from the center. Since there is some inner-core
convection again, the initial intensity remains 55 kt based on the
ASCAT data.

Leslie has gained some speed and has turned toward the
north-northwest, now with an initial motion of 345/12 kt. A
general northward motion should continue for the next 12-24 hours,
but then Leslie will reach the mid-latitude westerlies and make an
abrupt turn toward the east by 36 hours. After that time, Leslie
is expected to make some significant eastward progress, although
the global models are showing several shortwave troughs in the
westerlies imparting a southeastward motion on Leslie by days 4 and
5. In fact, some of the models have shifted significantly
southward by the end of the forecast period, leaving the previous
official forecast near the northern edge of the guidance envelope.
Due to this shift, the new NHC track prediction has been adjusted
southward on days 3-5, although it does not yet show as much
southward motion as indicated by the normally reliable ECMWF, HCCA,
and TVCN multi-model consensus.

Leslie doesn't appear to have to contend with much shear during the
next 3 days or so, but with such a large wind field mixing the
ocean around it, marginal sea surface temperatures are likely to
keep the intensity steady. By days 3 and 4, an increase in shear
could cause some slight weakening. The models are in very good
agreement in showing little to any change in Leslie's intensity
during the next 5 days, and that is largely what is indicated in
the NHC forecast.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also increase near the coasts of New England and
Atlantic Canada later today. Please consult products from your
local weather office as these conditions could cause life-

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 35
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Thu Oct 04 2018

Leslie lacks an inner core and now consists of a vigorous large
circulation with small outer bands of shallow to moderate
convection. Satellite intensity estimates have continued to yield a
lower intensity, and the winds have been reduced to 55 kt in this
advisory based on a recent ASCAT pass. The shear does not appear to
be a problem for Leslie, and the cyclone is forecast to be moving
over SSTs which appear to not be cool enough to result in
significant weakening. In fact, the average of the intensity
guidance suggests that Leslie basically will be a 50-kt cyclone
through the forecast period and so does the NHC forecast.

Leslie is moving northward or 350 degrees at 10 kt steered by the
southerly flow on the western edge of the subtropical ridge. In
about 24 to 36 hours, the storm will encounter the mid-latitude
westerlies, and this flow pattern will force Leslie to make a sharp
turn to the east and even to the east-southeast with no change in
forward speed. Track guidance is in extremely good agreement with
this solution for the next 3 to 4 days. After that time, the models
vary significantly in speed, but since the cyclone will be embedded
in the westerlies, the NHC forecast maintains the eastward
progression of Leslie as indicated in the previous forecast.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New England
and Atlantic Canada on Friday. Please consult products from your
local weather office as these conditions could cause life-
threatening surf and rip currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 34
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Thu Oct 04 2018

Leslie has changed little in convective structure today. Visible
imagery shows occasional appearances of an eye inside an area of
central convection, with a complex of outer bands wrapping around
this inner feature. Infrared imagery, though, suggests that the
convection is relatively shallow. Despite the lack of change in the
convective pattern, scatterometer data shows there have been
significant changes in the wind structure. The strongest winds are
now in a band about 90-100 n mi from the center, with the winds in
the inner core being notably weaker. This suggest the possibility
that Leslie is trying to undergo an eyewall replacement, albeit one
with a very large outer eyewall. Based on the scatterometer data
and slightly decreased satellite intensity estimates, the initial
intensity is reduced to 60 kt.

There is little change to the intensity forecast philosophy, the
intensity forecast guidance, or the intensity forecast. While the
vertical shear should remain light through the forecast period, the
forecast track takes the center away from 26C sea surface
temperatures and over 24-25C temperatures, and this should cause a
gradual weakening for the next several days. There are major
changes to the initial and forecast wind radii based on the
scatterometer data and the analyzed initial size.

The initial motion is 355/10. In the short term, Leslie will be
steered northward between a mid-level ridge over the central
Atlantic and a mid- to upper-level trough seen in water vapor
imagery north of Bermuda. A decrease in forward speed should occur
from 24-36 h as the trough moves south and a second ridge develops
to the west of the tropical cyclone. Beyond 36 h, Leslie is
expected to move eastward to east-southeastward at a faster forward
speed along the southern edge of the mid-latitude westerlies.
Overall, the new forecast track is close to the previous track
through 48 h, then a little north of the old track after that time.
However, there is an increased spread in the guidance in both the
track and the forward speed near the end of the forecast period, and
confidence is decreasing for this part of the forecast.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New England
and Atlantic Canada on Friday. Please consult products from your
local weather office as these conditions could cause
life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 33

1100 AM AST Thu Oct 04 2018

Leslie continues to have an inner area of convection near the
center, with a larger convective band present about 120 n mi from
the center and additional banding in the northwestern quadrant.
Since the last advisory, the central convection has become less
symmetric and the eye has become less defined. Based on this and
the latest satellite intensity estimates, the initial intensity is
nudged downward to 65 kt. While the vertical shear should remain
light through the forecast period, the forecast track takes the
center away from 26C sea surface temperatures and over 24-25C
temperatures, and this should cause a gradual weakening for the
next several days. Since there is little change in the guidance,
the new intensity forecast is again an update of the previous
forecast.

The initial motion is now 355/8. In the short term, Leslie will be
steered northward with some increase in speed between a mid-level
ridge over the central Atlantic and a mid- to upper-level trough
seen in water vapor imagery north of Bermuda. A decrease in
forward speed should occur from 24-36 h as the trough moves south
and a second ridge develops to the west of the tropical cyclone.
Beyond 48 h, Leslie is expected to move eastward to
east-southeastward at a faster forward speed along the southern edge
of the mid-latitude westerlies. The track guidance generally
agrees with this scenario, although some spread in both direction
and speed appears by 120 h. The new track forecast is similar to
the previous forecast and is mostly a blend of the TVCN and HCCA
consensus models.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New England
and Atlantic Canada on Friday. Please consult products from your

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 70 mph (110 km/h)
with higher gusts. Continued gradual weakening is expected during
the next several days.

Satellite wind data indicate that Leslie is larger than previously
reported, and that tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to
290 miles (465 km) from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 982 mb (29.00 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Large swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect
portions of the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda,
and the Bahamas during the next few days. Swells are expected to
increase near the coasts of New England and Atlantic Canada by the
end of the week. Please consult products from your local weather
office as these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip
currents.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 32
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Thu Oct 04 2018

Leslie has shown no appreciable changes in its structure during the
past several hours, and it continues to be a little thin on
convection within its eyewall. Another more impressive band of
convection extends nearly more than 120 n mi northwest of the
center of the ragged eye. The initial intensity remains 70 kt for
this advisory, mainly based on a blend of Dvorak CI numbers from
TAFB and SAB and an earlier SATCON estimate. Leslie's center has
reached sea surface temperatures of 26 degrees Celsius, and these
marginal water temperatures are likely to cause a gradual decrease
in the cyclone's winds during the next several days. The new NHC
intensity forecast is mainly just an update to the previous
forecast, largely following the HCCA guidance and the ICON
intensity consensus.

Leslie continues to move northward, or 350/7 kt, between a
shortwave trough south of Nova Scotia and a mid-level ridge over
the central Atlantic. This northward motion should continue for
the next 36 hours before Leslie becomes trapped between two
mid-level highs and is isolated from the mid-latitude westerlies to
the north, thus causing its forward motion to nearly stall by 48
hours. By days 3 through 5, Leslie should feel enough influence
from the westerlies and an approaching cold front to cause it to
move a bit faster toward the east or east-southeast over the north
Atlantic. Like the intensity forecast, no major changes were
required to the official track forecast, which is merely an update
to the previous NHC prediction.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New England
and Atlantic Canada on Friday. Please consult products from your
local weather office as these conditions could cause
life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 31
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Wed Oct 03 2018

It is difficult to add more to the discussion about a cyclone that
has moved very little during the past few days and has not changed
significantly in structure either. Leslie's cloud pattern is
not very impressive with a large ragged-eye feature (if you can
call that an eye) surrounded by weaker convection than earlier
today. Although Dvorak numbers are lower tonight, we can still hold
the intensity at 70 kt in this advisory. Most likely, the convection
will reinvigorate tonight, but no important changes in intensity are
anticipated during the next 24 hours or so. A weakening trend is
expected thereafter as the cyclone reaches cooler waters.

Leslie has begun to move northward at about 7 kt, and most likely
the cyclone will continue on that track for the next two days. By
then, Leslie will encounter the mid-latitude westerlies and this
flow will force the cyclone to make a sharp turn to the east. Track
models are in remarkably good agreement with the initial northward
turn and with eastward turn. However, during the last portion of
the forecast models diverge, and the confidence in the track
forecast is not very high.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New England
and Atlantic Canada on Friday. Please consult products from your
local weather office as these conditions could cause
life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 30
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Wed Oct 03 2018

The satellite presentation of Leslie has changed little over the
past six hours. Leslie continues to have a large ragged eye with
periodic intrusions of slightly drier air. The hurricane still has
well-defined outflow over the northern semicircle. The initial wind
speed is held at 70 kt based on the steady state appearance.

Now that Leslie that has begun its advertised northward turn, it is
passing over the cool wake that it presumably created during the
past day or so, therefore, little change in strength is expected
through this evening. However, some slight strengthening is
possible later tonight and Thursday after crossing the cool wake.
Gradual weakening then is expected to begin late Thursday when
the system reaches cooler waters farther to the north. The NHC
intensity forecast is an update of the previous one and near the
middle of the guidance envelope.

Satellite images indicate that Leslie is moving northward, and this
motion appears to be accelerating. This northward motion is
expected to continue through Friday as the hurricane moves in the
flow between a shortwave trough to the northwest and a mid-level
ridge to its southeast. After that time, an eastward motion is
forecast when a second trough approaches Leslie from the north. The
latest model guidance has shifted a little to the west in the short
term and is slightly slower and farther south at the latter forecast
points. The NHC official track forecast has been adjusted
accordingly to trend toward this guidance.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to continue during the
next few days across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New England
and Atlantic Canada on Friday. Please consult products from your
local weather office as these conditions could cause
life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 29
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Wed Oct 03 2018

Leslie continues to slowly strengthen. Satellite images indicate
that the deep convection has been gradually increasing in coverage
and become more symmetric around the large ragged eye of the
hurricane. An average of the latest Dvorak classifications from
TAFB and SAB support increasing the initial wind speed to 70 kt.
Leslie still has a little more time to strengthen as it should
remain over waters warmer than 26 deg C and in favorable
atmospheric conditions for about another day. Thereafter, the
hurricane is expected to move over progressively cooler water,
which should induce a slow weakening trend. The NHC intensity
forecast lies closest to the IVCN and HCCA consensus aids.

The hurricane has come to a stall, as expected, in very weak
steering currents. The combination of a shortwave trough moving
off the New England coast and a building ridge to the southeast of
Leslie should cause the hurricane to begin moving northward this
evening. This motion with an increase in forward speed should
continue through Friday. By the weekend, the hurricane is expected
to turn to the east due to a broad trough over the north Atlantic.
The models remain in very good agreement, and little change was
made to the previous NHC forecast track.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to increase over the
next day or two across the southeastern coast of the United
States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles.
These swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New
England and Atlantic Canada on Friday. Please consult products from
your local weather office as these conditions could cause
life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 28
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Wed Oct 03 2018

Deep convection surrounding the center of Leslie has become better
organized overnight, with the development of a ragged eye in
infrared satellite images. A 0552 UTC AMSR2 microwave overpass
revealed a well-defined low-level eye with a ring of broken
convection surrounding it. T-numbers from both TAFB and SAB were
4.0 on the Dvorak scale, therefore the initial intensity has
been increased to 65 kt. This makes Leslie the sixth hurricane
of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season.

The hurricane is forecast to remain within favorable environmental
conditions consisting of warm water and low vertical wind shear
over the next day or two. These conditions should allow for some
additional strengthening. After 48 hours, Leslie will be moving
over cooler waters, which should induce gradual weakening later
in the period.

Leslie has become nearly stationary overnight, and it appears that
the cyclone's equatorward motion has likely come to an end. A
shortwave trough to the northwest of the storm and a building ridge
to the east, are expected to allow Leslie to begin moving northward
by tonight. A northward motion is then expected to continue over
the next 2-3 days, but by the weekend Leslie is predicted to turn
eastward as a broad trough dips southward over the north Atlantic.
The dynamical model guidance is in relatively good agreement on this
scenario and the new NHC track forecast is essentially an update of
the previous advisory.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to increase over the
next couple of days across the southeastern coast of the United
States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles.
These swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New
England and Atlantic Canada by the end of the week. Please consult
products from your local weather office as these conditions could
cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 27
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Tue Oct 02 2018

Leslie has been trying to become a hurricane all day, but it is not
one yet. The cloud pattern has changed very little during the past
several hours and in fact, one could make the case that is less
organized that earlier today with no eye feature trying to form at
this time. However, Dvorak classifications still support an initial
intensity of 60 kt, and this is confirmed by a recent ASCAT pass
with winds of at least 55 kt. Having said that, environmental
conditions of low shear and a warm ocean favor strengthening, and
NHC again forecasts Leslie to become a hurricane on Wednesday and
remain one for a couple of days. After that time, Leslie will reach
cooler waters and gradual weakening is anticipated.

Leslie is moving very slowly toward the southwest or 220 degrees at
3 kt while embedded within very light steering currents. Most of the
global models bring an eastward-moving short wave near Leslie, and
this flow pattern should force the cyclone to move northward for the
next 2 to 3 days. Thereafter, Leslie will encounter the mid-latitude
westerlies and will move eastward. The forecast is very similar to
the previous one and closely follows both the corrected-consensus
HCCA and the other multi-model aids.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to increase tomorrow
and Thursday across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New England
and Atlantic Canada by the end of the week. Please consult products
from your local weather office as these conditions could cause
life-threatening surf and rip currents.

The initial 34- and 50-kt wind radii have been slightly adjusted
based on recent ASCAT data.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 26
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Tue Oct 02 2018

Leslie is almost a hurricane. Satellite images indicate that a ring
of deep convection now nearly surrounds Leslie's large ragged eye.
A pair of ASCAT passes from this morning showed maximum winds around
55 kt. Based on that data and a blend of the latest Dvorak
estimates, the initial intensity is increased to 60 kt. Leslie is
expected to remain over relatively warm water and in favorable
atmospheric conditions for another day or two, so continued gradual
strengthening is forecast during that time period. Based on the
improved organization this afternoon and the model guidance, Leslie
is forecast to reach hurricane strength tonight or early Wednesday.
After a couple of days, the system is expected to move over waters
cooler than 26 deg C, and those unfavorable oceanic conditions
combined with some increase in shear this weekend should cause a
slow weakening trend. The NHC intensity forecast remains
between the aggressive statistical-dynamical models and the lower
HMON and COAMPS-TC models, but this forecast is a tad higher than
the previous one.

The tropical storm is still losing latitude, with the latest initial
motion now estimated to be 205/8. This south-southwestward
motion is expected to slow down tonight, and Leslie will likely come
to a stall on Wednesday in very weak steering currents. After that
time, the combination of a shortwave trough to the west and an
amplifying mid-level ridge to the southeast should cause
Leslie to move northward on Thursday and Friday. A turn to the
northeast and then east is forecast to occur by the weekend when the
storm moves within the mid-latitude westerlies. The NHC track
forecast is nudged to the south and west of the previous one to come
into better agreement with the latest guidance.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to increase tomorrow
and Thursday across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New England
and Atlantic Canada by the end of the week. Please consult products
from your local weather office as these conditions could cause
life-threatening surf and rip currents.

The initial 34- and 50-kt wind radii have been modified based on
the aforementioned ASCAT data.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 25
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Tue Oct 02 2018

Leslie has generally changed little during the past several hours.
The storm continues to have a ragged banded eye feature with
multiple mesovortices within it. Deep convection is most organized
in a curved band that currently wraps from the northeast to
southwest quadrant of the storm. The initial intensity is held at
55 kt, which is near the high end of the satellite estimates.
Although the storm has not strengthened much during the past day or
so, it still has an opportunity to intensify while it moves over
slightly higher SSTs and remains in favorable atmospheric conditions
during the next day or two. Beyond a couple of days, slow weakening
seems likely as Leslie heads over SSTs cooler than 26 deg C and into
a slightly drier environment. The NHC intensity forecast is the
same as the previous one, and it is in good agreement with the HCCA
and IVCN consensus aids. This intensity forecast lies between the
aggressive statistical-dynamical models and the lower HMON and
COAMPS-TC models that keep Leslie below hurricane strength.

The tropical storm continues to lose latitude, with the latest
initial motion estimate being 215/7. A continued slow south to
south-southwest motion is forecast during the next 24 hours as the
system moves in the flow on the east side of a mid-level high.
After that time, the combination of a shortwave trough to the west
and an amplifying mid-level ridge to the southeast should cause
Leslie to move northward to north-northeastward late this week. By
the weekend, the models suggest that Leslie should turn eastward
when it moves in the mid-latitude westerlies. The NHC track
forecast is nudged to the west to come into better agreement with
the latest models.

Large swells generated by Leslie are expected to increase tomorrow
and Thursday across the southeastern coast of the United States,
Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. These
swells will also begin to increase near the coasts of New England
and Atlantic Canada by the end of the week. Please consult products

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 24
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Tue Oct 02 2018

Infrared and passive microwave satellite imagery indicate that
convection has increased and become better organized around the
well-defined low-level circulation center. In fact, recent
microwave images showed that Leslie has developed a closed, 20- to
25-nmi wide low-level eye. Based on the presence of the distinct
low-level eye feature and a Dvorak intensity estimate of T3.5/55 kt
from SAB, the cyclone's intensity has been increased to 55 kt.

The initial motion is southwestward or 220 degrees at a faster
forward speed of 6 kt. For the next 24 h or so, Leslie is forecast
to move slowly southwestward to south-southwestward, trapped between
a deep-layer ridge to the west and a mid- to upper-level low to the
east. After possibly becoming stationary near the 36-h period, a
ridge to the southeast and east of Leslie is forecast to become
highly amplified, forcing the cyclone northward into the higher
latitudes through 72 h. On days 4 and 5, an approaching mid-latitude
shortwave trough well to the north of Leslie is forecast to nudge
the cyclone eastward, but only slowly at forward speeds of less than
10 kt. The new NHC forecast track has again been adjusted to the
left of the previous advisory track in the 36- to 72-h period, and
is similar to but slightly east of the various consensus models.

Leslie's outflow pattern has become a little more symmetrical during
the past 6 h, and further improvement is expected through 72 hours.
In addition, lightning data and satellite imagery during the past
few hours indicate that convection has been developing in the dry
slot to the north and east of the main convective band, suggesting
the mid-level environment is finally beginning to moisten. This dry
intrusion has been hindering the development of deep eyewall
convection and, thus, the lack of intensification of the cyclone.
However, given the strong instability that is forecast to develop in
the inner-core region region due to very cold air aloft moving over
relatively warm waters of near 26C beneath the cyclone, along with
increasing outflow and mid-level moisture, slow but steady
strengthening seems reasonable for the next 48 hours or so. By 72 h
and beyond, gradual weakening is expected as Leslie moves back over
cooler oceanic temperatures and dry mid-level air from the
mid-latitudes associated with the aforementioned shortwave trough
once again gets entrained into the cyclone's circulation. The
official intensity forecast is just an update of the previous
advisory, and is similar to the weaker IVCN consensus model.

Large swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect portions of
the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda, and the
Bahamas. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and
rip currents. Although the swells are forecast to abate temporarily
in the Bahamas later today, they are expected to increase again on
Wednesday and Thursday, and propagate farther southward into the
Greater and Lesser Antilles. Please consult products from your
local weather office.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 23
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Mon Oct 01 2018

Satellite imagery shows that the convective organization of Leslie
has changed little during the past several hours. The eye-like
feature, however, has become a little more distinct and symmetric.
The subjective and objective intensity estimates haven't changed
though, and the initial intensity remains at 50 kt for this
advisory.

The initial motion is estimated to be a southwestward drift, or
220/4 kt. Leslie is forecast to continue drifting generally
southwestward through the 36-hour period in relatively weak
mid-tropospheric steering flow produced by a ridge extending
eastward from the southeast United States to near Bermuda.
Afterwards, an amplifying mid-latitude shortwave trough approaching
the cyclone from the Canadian Maritimes should induce a
north-northeastward to northeastward motion at an increasing forward
speed. The NHC forecast is adjusted just to the left of the
previous forecast track beyond 36 hours to align more with the TVCN
consensus guidance.

The intensity forecast philosophy remains basically the same, this
evening. Strengthening is still expected during the next 36 hours
and Leslie is likely to become a hurricane Tuesday tonight, as
indicated by the statistical and multi-model intensity guidance.
Near the 72-hour period, Leslie should begin a gradual weakening
trend as the cyclone moves back over cooler oceanic temperatures
and some invading drier mid-level air, associated with the
aforementioned shortwave trough which stabilizes the surrounding
environment. The official intensity forecast is an update of the
previous one and is close to the IVCN and NOAA-HCCA consensus aids.
The forecast wind radii have been adjusted based on the RVCN
(GFS/ECMWF/HWRF) multi-model consensus.

Large swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect portions of
the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda, and the
Bahamas. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and
rip currents. Although the swells are forecast to abate temporarily
in the Bahamas Tuesday, they are expected to increase again
Wednesday and Thursday and propagate farther southward into the
Greater and Lesser Antilles. Please consult products from your
local weather office.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 22
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Mon Oct 01 2018

The cloud pattern of Leslie has improved throughout the day, and
the system now has a ragged eye with multiple mesovorticies within
it. In addition, the associated convection has become more
symmetric this afternoon, but the cloud tops are not very cold south
of the center. Even though the system looks better organized, the
satellite intensity estimates are again unchanged. Accordingly, the
initial intensity is held at 50 kt near the high end of the
satellite estimates.

Leslie will likely strengthen gradually during the next day or
so as it heads toward slightly warmer SSTs and remains in relatively
low wind shear conditions. Most of the models show Leslie
becoming a hurricane on Tuesday, and the NHC forecast follows that
guidance. Leslie is expected to move north-northeastward back over
its own upwelled cool waters late this week and this weekend,
which should promote a gradual weakening trend. The NHC intensity
forecast is identical to the previous one and in line with the HCCA
and IVCN models.

Leslie continues to drift to the southwest on the east side of a
mid-level high. There has been no change to the track forecast
philosophy. Leslie is expected to continue to move slowly southward
to southwestward in weak steering currents during the next couple of
days. Thereafter, a developing shortwave trough to the west of
Leslie should cause it to move north-northeastward to northeastward
at a slightly faster pace. The guidance has shifted south and west
this cycle, and the NHC track forecast has been adjusted in those
directions. Regardless of the details of the forecast track, there
is high confidence that Leslie will meander for quite a while over
the central Atlantic.

Large swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect portions
of the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda, the
Bahamas, and most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles through
tonight. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip
currents. Although the swells will diminish slightly by Tuesday,
they are expected to increase again over the Bahamas and most of the
Greater and Lesser Antilles late Wednesday and Thursday.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 21
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Mon Oct 01 2018

Leslie is gradually becoming better organized. A large band of
deep convection exists on the west side of the circulation and some
fragmented bands are beginning to form on the east side. Overall,
Leslie appears more symmetric than it has been during the past
couple of days due to a decrease in wind shear. Despite the
improved appearance, the satellite intensity estimates are largely
unchanged, so the initial intensity is held at 50 kt, near the high
end of the estimates.

Since Leslie is forecast to be in a low wind shear environment
and expected to move over slightly higher SSTs during the next
couple of days, slow strengthening is predicted. Most of
the models show Leslie becoming a hurricane in 24 to 36 hours, and
the NHC forecast follows suit. By late in the week and this
weekend, Leslie is expected to move north-northeastward back over
its previous track, where it has upwelled cooler waters. These less
conducive oceanic conditions should cause a slow decay.

Leslie continues to drift to the southwest on the east side of a
mid-level high, and a continued slow south to southwest motion
is expected during the next couple of days. Thereafter, a
developing shortwave trough to the west of Leslie should cause it to
move north-northeastward but only at a slightly faster pace. The
NHC track forecast is nudged to the left of the previous one to come
into better agreement with the latest guidance. Regardless of the
details of the forecast track, there is high confidence that Leslie
will meander for quite a while over the central Atlantic.

Large swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect portions
of the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda, the
Bahamas, and most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles through
tonight. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip
currents. Although the swells will diminish slightly by Tuesday,
they are expected to increase again over the Bahamas and most of the
Greater and Lesser Antilles late Wednesday and Thursday.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 20
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Mon Oct 01 2018

Leslie has become a little better organized overnight, with an
increase in convective banding over the northern and northwestern
portions of the circulation. ASCAT data around 0000 UTC revealed
40-45 kt winds over the northeastern quadrant of the cyclone and
with the increase in organization since that time, the initial
intensity has been raised to 50 kt. This is a little above the
consensus Dvorak intensity estimates of T3.0 (45 kt) from TAFB and
SAB. The shear that was affecting Leslie appears to have abated
somewhat and with the system forecast to move southwestward toward
slightly warmer waters, gradual strengthening is expected during the
next couple of days. Later in the period, Leslie is forecast to
move north-northeastward back over its previous track where cooler
upwelled waters are likely to produce some weakening. The updated
NHC intensity forecast shows a slightly higher peak intensity in 48
to 72 hours, but remains between the dynamical model guidance and
the higher statistical models.

Leslie continues to plod along with an initial motion estimate of
240/4 kt. The cyclone should move slowly southwestward to southward
during the next couple of days as it remains within an area of weak
steering currents. After that time, a shortwave trough to the
northwest of Leslie is expected to allow the tropical cyclone to
lift slowly north-northeastward by days 4 and 5. Although the
dynamical model guidance is in agreement on this overall scenario,
there is increasing cross-track (east-west) spread after 72 hours.
The latest run of the ECMWF has shifted westward and brackets the
western edge of the guidance envelope. The new NHC track forecast
has been shifted in that direction, but it is not as far left as the
various consensus aids out of respect of the previous track
forecast. Regardless of the details of the forecast track, Leslie
is still expected to meander over the central Atlantic through the
remainder of this week.

Large swells generated by Leslie when it was a strong extratropical
low will continue to affect portions of the southeastern coast of
the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and most of the Greater and
Lesser Antilles for another day or two. These swells could cause
life-threatening surf and rip currents. Although the swells will
diminish some by mid-week, they will likely remain hazardous for the
same locations through the forecast period due to Leslie's slow
motion.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 19
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Sun Sep 30 2018

Leslie has changed little in organization over the past few hours,
with the convective burst previously in the southeastern quadrant
now in the northeastern quadrant. Recent scatterometer data
indicates that the current intensity is 45 kt, with those winds
occurring in the northeastern semicircle. The scatterometer data
also suggests that the radii of tropical-storm force winds has
decreased a little. While Leslie continues to be affected by
westerly shear, the global models show the upper-level pattern
becoming more favorable over Leslie in about a day. This, combined
with slightly warmer SSTs along the forecast track should allow
Leslie to gradually strengthen during the next 2 to 3 days. After
that time, the storm is expected to move northeastward back over its
previous track and cooler waters partly caused by its own upwelling,
and that should cause at least a little weakening. The new
intensity forecast is unchanged from the previous forecast, and it
lies above the forecast of the regional hurricane models and below
the forecast of the statistical-dynamical models.

The initial motion is 250/5. Leslie is forecast to remain in weak
steering currents for the next 72 h, with a southwestward to
southward drift expected. Thereafter, a shortwave trough moving
southward to the west of Leslie should cause a motion toward the
north-northeast or northeast and an increase in forward speed.
There are no important changes to the guidance or to the forecast
track, and the bottom line remains that Leslie is forecast to
meander over the central Atlantic for the next several days.

Large swells generated by Leslie when it was a strong extratropical
low will continue to affect the east coast of the United States and
most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles for another day or two.
These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.
Although the swells will diminish some by mid-week, they will likely
remain hazardous for the same locations through the forecast period
due to Leslie's slow motion.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 18
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Sun Sep 30 2018

Leslie has generally changed little in organization today. The
tropical storm continues to produce deep convection in a band to
the southeast of the center, but there is a minimal amount of
shower activity elsewhere. This asymmetric cloud pattern is due to
about 25 kt of northwesterly wind shear. The initial intensity is
again held at 45 kt, but some of the satellite estimates suggest
that this could be a little generous. The global models show the
upper-level pattern becoming more favorable over Leslie in about a
day, which combined with warmer SSTs should allow Leslie to
gradually strengthen during the next 2 to 3 days. After that time,
the storm is expected to move northeastward back over its previous
track and cooler waters partly caused by its own upwelling. These
conditions should end the strengthening trend and induce some
weakening. The NHC intensity forecast is largely an update of the
previous one and in line with the IVCN, FSSE, and HCCA consensus
models.

Leslie is drifting to the southwest, with the latest initial motion
estimate being 240/4 kt. The storm is forecast to remain in very
weak steering currents, and Leslie will likely drift southward to
southwestward during the next few days on the east side of a
mid-level ridge. Thereafter, a developing trough to the southwest of
Leslie should cause the system to move northeastward at a slightly
faster pace. The models continue to shift back and forth each
cycle, which is not surprising given the weak steering. This
forecast is adjusted a little to the left of the previous one to
come into better agreement with the latest models. The bottom line
is that Leslie is forecast to meander over the central Atlantic for
the next several days.

Large swells generated by Leslie when it was a strong extratropical
low will continue to affect the east coast of the United States and
most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles for another day or two.
These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.
Although the swells will diminish some by mid-week, they will likely
remain hazardous for the same locations through the forecast period
due to Leslie's slow motion.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 17
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Sun Sep 30 2018

Deep convection has increased a little during the past several hours
in a band to the southeast of the center, but the shower activity
remains quite limited elsewhere in the circulation. The latest
satellite intensity estimates and a recent ASCAT pass still support
an initial intensity of 45 kt. Leslie is expected to be moving into
a lower wind shear environment and over warmer SSTs during the next
few days. These conditions should support some gradual
strengthening during that time period. After that time, however,
Leslie is expected to move over cooler waters, partly induced by its
own upwelling, as it heads northeastward back over its previous
track. Accordingly, slight weakening is shown toward the end of the
forecast period. The NHC intensity forecast is similar to the
previous one and generally follows the consensus models, IVCN and
HCCA.

Leslie is drifting to the southwest, with the latest initial motion
estimate being 230/3 kt. Leslie is caught in very weak steering
currents, and a continued slow southwest to south motion is expected
during the next few days. Thereafter, the models show a weak
trough developing to the southwest of Leslie and that should cause
the system to move northeastward at a slightly faster pace. The
models have trended a little to the east this cycle, and the NHC
forecast has been adjusted in that direction. The bottom line is
that Leslie is forecast to meander over the central Atlantic
through the forecast period.

Large swells generated by Leslie when it was a strong extratropical
low will continue to affect Bermuda, the east coast of the United
States, and most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles for another day
or two. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip
currents. Although the swells will diminish some by mid-week, they
will likely remain hazardous for the same locations through the
forecast period due to Leslie's slow motion.

The initial 34-kt wind radii were adjusted based on a 1257 UTC
ASCAT pass.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 16
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Sun Sep 30 2018

Convection associated with the tropical storm has become more
fragmented over the past 12 hours or so, and now consists of several
broken bands primarily over the southeastern portion of the
circulation. Satellite intensity estimates have not changed much
since the previous advisory, and the initial intensity is held at
45 kt, which is in agreement with earlier ASCAT data and a recent
UW/CIMSS SATCON estimate of 42 kt. The recent warming of the clouds
tops may be associated with cooler waters caused by upwelling
beneath the large, slow-moving tropical storm. Leslie, however is
forecast to move southwestward toward somewhat warmer waters and a
more favorable upper-level environment during the next 2 to 3 days.
This conditions should allow for gradual strengthening, and the NHC
forecast follows the intensity guidance by bringing Leslie to
hurricane strength in about 72 hours. Later in the period, Leslie
is likely to move back over some of the cooler upwelled waters along
its previous track, which could result in gradual weakening.

Recent satellite fixes show that Leslie is moving west-
southwestward or 240 degrees at 4 kt. The tropical storm is caught
between a pair of mid-level ridges and a slow southwestward to
south-southwestward motion is expected over the next 2 to 3 days.
Around mid-week, a shortwave trough moving off the coast of the
northeastern United States is expected to help lift Leslie slowly
northward at days 4 and 5, but the models have trended toward a
somewhat slower solution. Despite the storm's expected slow motion,
the spread in the track guidance becomes fairly large by days 4 and
5, and it appears that Leslie is likely to meander over the Central
Atlantic for quite some time.

Large swells generated by Leslie when it was a strong extratropical
low will affect Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and
most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles through at least the early
part of this week. These swells could cause life-threatening surf
and rip currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 15
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Sat Sep 29 2018

The structure of Leslie consists of a large, broken outer band
wrapped around the eastern semicircle of the cyclone, with little
convection west of the center. ASCAT data recently showed 40-45 kt
within that band, so the maximum winds will stay at 45 kt. The
storm should gradually move over somewhat warmer waters within a
lighter shear environment during the next few days. Thus gradual
intensification is shown, similar to the model consensus. The only
notable change to the previous forecast is to move up the peak
intensity close to Leslie's southernmost position before it stalls.
It would seem that after that time, the relatively large system
would be moving close to its previous track over its self-generated
cooler upwelled waters, and weaken somewhat at long range.

Leslie continues to move southwestward, and its initial motion is
235/5 kt. This storm should move slowly to the southwest through
Sunday, then creep southward by late Monday due to steering
partially by northerly flow from a distant ridge over the western
Atlantic and a nearby large mid- to upper-level trough. Eventually,
a new ridge rebuilds over the east-central Atlantic east of Leslie,
which causes the cyclone to move to the north at a faster pace by
day 5. As you could imagine in such a complex pattern, the models
aren't in good agreement on how quickly the storm ejects, and this
is a pretty uncertain forecast at long range. Until some forecast
scenarios become clear, the forecast will stay close to the
corrected-consensus aids, resulting in mostly cosmetic changes to
the last forecast.

Large swells generated by Leslie when it was a strong extratropical
low will affect Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and
most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles through at least the
weekend. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip
currents.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 14
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Sat Sep 29 2018

Leslie has continued to take on more tropical characteristics over
the past few hours. Anti-cyclonic outflow is now present to the
northeast and southeast of Leslie and its primary convective band.
Late-arriving AMSU data from 1316 UTC also indicated that Leslie has
developed a deep-layer warm core structure. Based on these factors,
Leslie has been designated as a tropical storm. The initial
intensity is set at 45 kt, based on a blend of recent satellite
intensity estimates from TAFB and the UW-CIMSS SATCON.

Leslie continues to move slowly southwestward with an initial motion
of 225/5 kt. The guidance is in very good agreement that this
general motion will continue for another 24 h or so, before the
cyclone becomes nearly stationary by early next week. An approaching
mid-latitude trough is still expected to eventually cause Leslie to
turn toward the north or northeast, perhaps over its own track, in 4
or 5 days. Only minor adjustments were made to the NHC track
forecast, which remains close to the various track consensus aids.

The NHC intensity forecast has not been changed in any significant
way and remains near the intensity consensus, but slightly favors
the regional hurricane models. Leslie is currently located over
fairly cool SSTs, and its slow motion could cause further ocean
cooling. This could particularly be an issue in a few days when the
tropical storm is expected to become nearly stationary. The
ocean-coupled regional models (HWRF, HMON, COAMPS-TC) continue to
indicate that Leslie will struggle to intensify much over the next
few days, despite a fairly favorable upper-level environment. On the
other hand, some of the uncoupled global models and the SHIPS and
LGEM models suggest that more intensification will occur and that
Leslie could become a hurricane in a few days. Highlighting the
potential importance of SSTs in this case, the SHIPS and LGEM models
began using daily SST fields at 18Z, which show nearly 2 deg C
cooler SSTs along the track of Leslie, and those models now show
much less intensification than they did before.

Large swells generated by Leslie when it was a strong extratropical
low will affect Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and
most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles through the weekend. These
swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 13
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Sat Sep 29 2018

Leslie's cloud pattern has taken on a more tropical appearance
since last night. However, the cyclone is still co-located with an
upper-level low, so its status as a subtropical cyclone is
maintained for this advisory. The initial intensity remains 40 kt,
based on a subtropical classification of 35-40 kt from TAFB.

The global models forecast that Leslie will separate from the
upper-level low over the course of the next day or so, which should
complete its transition to a tropical cyclone. While this could
result in a short-term increase in shear over Leslie, by early next
week the cyclone will likely be located within a fairly low shear
environment. However, Leslie is expected to move very slowly by that
time, and ocean upwelling could limit or prevent further
strengthening. There is a large amount of spread in the intensity
guidance by day 5, but it is worth noting that the models most
capable of properly representing the effect of ocean cooling on
intensity, COAMPS-TC, HWRF, and HMON, all keep Leslie below
hurricane strength for the next 5 days. The HWRF in particular
forecasts nearly 5 deg C of ocean cooling beneath the cyclone. The
NHC intensity forecast is generally a little lower than the previous
advisory, but is still near the IVCN and HCCA consensus aids at all
forecast hours. If Leslie moves more than expected, it would not be
surprising if it strengthened more than currently forecast.

Little change was made to the official track forecast. Leslie is
still expected to move slowly southwestward for the next couple of
days, before coming to a near halt early next week. By the
middle of the week, an approaching mid-latitude trough could steer
Leslie toward the north or northeast and allow the cyclone to start
gaining speed, however, there is a lot of spread among the global
models as to how quickly this will occur, and confidence in this
portion of the forecast is fairly low.

Large swells generated by Leslie when it was a strong extratropical
low will affect Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and
most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles through the weekend. These
swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Sat Sep 29 2018

The deep convection has become more concentrated near the center
during the past several hours indicating that Leslie is gradually
acquiring some tropical characteristics, but the cyclone is still
too attached to a complex deep-layer low. On this basis, Leslie is
still considered a subtropical storm in this advisory with an
initial intensity of 40 kt. Global models indicate that the
subtropical cyclone will continue to be embedded within strong
northerly shear during the next 2 days or so. After that time, the
shear is forecast to relax and with a warm ocean along the cyclone's
path, Leslie is forecast to become fully tropical and reach
hurricane status by the end of the forecast period. SHIPS model and
its derivatives strengthen Leslie significantly, but the NHC
forecast is a little less aggressive, and it follows the intensity
consensus.

Leslie has been moving toward the southwest or 230 degrees at 6 kt,
steered by the flow around the western side of the large deep-layer
low in which Leslie is embedded. Since this steering pattern is
not expected to change, Leslie will probably continue on the same
general track for the next 3 to 4 days. After that time, the large
low weakens and the cyclone will become steered slowly northward by
the flow ahead of an approaching mid-latitude trough. Nevertheless,
Leslie is forecast to meander over the north-central Atlantic for
several more days. This is the solution provided by most of the
global models, and the NHC forecast follows very closely the
multi-model consensus aids and the corrected consensus HCCA.

Large swells previously generated by Leslie when it was a stronger
extratropical low have already reached Bermuda, and will soon reach
the Lesser and Greater Antilles. These swells are expected to reach
portions of the east coast of the United States by Sunday. These
swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Fri Sep 28 2018

Convective banding has been consolidating to the south of Leslie's
center since the afternoon, but recent scatterometer data indicate
that the maximum winds have decreased to 40 kt and the area of
gale-force winds has decreased in size. The convective structure
suggests that Leslie may be taking on some tropical characteristics,
but since wave vapor imagery still shows the cyclone embedded within
a complex deep-layer low, Leslie is still being designated as
subtropical.

Leslie is moving west-southwestward, or 255 degrees at 10 kt.
Leslie is entrenched between several mid-tropospheric highs located
to its east and west, and these features are expected to push
Leslie slowly southwestward for the next 3 days. The track
guidance is tightly clustered during this period, and the NHC
forecast is very similar to the previous one. After day 3, Leslie
is likely to meander on days 4 and 5 in weak steering, and the
updated official forecast has been adjusted southward and eastward
at the end of the forecast period to account for the latest model
solutions.

Global model fields indicate that Leslie has migrated to the
northwest of its parent upper-level low, which is putting it under
a regime of moderate north-northeasterly shear. For the next 48
hours, this shear is expected to continue, and phase-space diagrams
suggest that Leslie will be straddling the line between shallow and
deep warm core. As a result, only modest strengthening is
anticipated during this period, and the official forecast maintains
Leslie as a subtropical storm through 48 hours. However, the
transition to a tropical storm could occur any time during the next
day or two. After 48 hours, Leslie should definitely be deep warm
core, and more significant strengthening is expected, with the
cyclone forecast to reach hurricane intensity by day 4. This
scenario is shown by the various intensity models, and the NHC
intensity forecast is very close to the HFIP Corrected Consensus
aid and the Florida State Superensemble. If the statistical-
dynamical models are correct, Leslie could be stronger by the end of
the forecast period than is indicated in the NHC forecast.

Large swells generated by Leslie when it was a stronger
extratropical low have already reached Bermuda, will soon reach the
Lesser and Greater Antilles, and should reach portions of the east
coast of the United States later this weekend. These swells could
cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Leslie are affecting Bermuda and the
northern Leeward Islands and will reach other portions of the Lesser
Antilles, Greater Antilles, and Bahamas through Saturday.
Swells are expected to reach portions of the east coast of the
United States later this weekend. These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Fri Sep 28 2018

Central convection associated with Post-Tropical Storm Leslie has
gradually increased during the last couple of days and is now
organized into a group of bands that wraps most of the way around
the center. In addition, scatterometer data show that the cyclone
has lost much of its large baroclinic wind field, and that the
radius of maximum winds has contracted from 120-180 n mi yesterday
to 90 n mi or less today. While the storm has also developed a warm
core and shed some of its baroclinic characteristics, it is embedded
in a large deep-layer low pressure system, and thus it is designated
subtropical instead of tropical. The initial intensity is set at 45
kt based on the scatterometer data.

Leslie has been moving generally westward for the the past few
days. The large-scale models forecast a general southwesterly
motion for the next 3-4 days as the cyclone is steered by a segment
of the subtropical ridge to its west and another large deep-layer
low forming to its east over the eastern Atlantic, with a decrease
in forward speed near the end of the forecast period as the ridge
to the west weakens. The forecast guidance is tightly clustered
through 120 h, and the forecast track is near the center of the
guidance envelope and the consensus models.

The forecast track takes the center of Leslie over increasing sea
surface temperatures during the next several days, although the
temperatures may not be as warm as those indicated in the SHIPS
model. The global models suggest that little change in strength
will occur during the first 48-72 h as Leslie gradually develops
the upper-level outflow pattern of a tropical cyclone and
transitions to a tropical storm. After that time, they are in good
agreement that the cyclone will strengthen. Based on this, the
intensity forecast shows only modest intensification during the
first 48 h, followed by strengthening to a probably conservative
60 kt. The forecast also calls for transition to a tropical storm
between 48-72 h, with the caveat that this could occur earlier.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Leslie Discussion Number 9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Tue Sep 25 2018

Leslie has become a post-tropical cyclone. Conventional and
microwave satellite imagery show that Leslie's surface circulation
has become elongated along an intruding baroclinic zone indicated
by a recent 1158 UTC ASCAT-A pass. Any deep convection appears to
be developing due to dynamic forcing. A rather large stratocumulus
cloud shield and associated cooler, stable air is quickly advecting
into the area as well. The initial intensity is maintained at 30 kt
for this last advisory.

Leslie is forecast to strengthen during the next couple of days due
to baroclinic processes. The official forecast, based on the GFS and
European global models, and the SHIPS statistical intensity
guidance, shows an increase of the sustained winds to hurricane
force in 2 days, around the same period that the shear drops below
10 kt. The non-tropical low is then forecast to move south of the
strong upper-level westerlies and detach from the frontal boundary.
According to the global models and the Florida State Cyclone Phase
forecast, Leslie should make a transition from a frontal system to
an asymmetric shallow warm-core seclusion. Beyond day 3, guidance
suggests that Leslie will acquire subtropical characteristics and a
more symmetric, deepening warm-core low while meandering in weaker
steering currents. The intensity forecast follows this scenario and
is based on the aforementioned global and statistical models.

Leslie is now moving eastward at a slightly faster forward motion,
about 10 kt. A turn to the north is expected in 36 hours followed
by a slower westward motion as Leslie slips south of the
mid-latitude westerlies. Through the remaining portion of the
forecast, Leslie should move at a slower speed generally westward
as a ridge builds to the north. NHC forecast is nudged toward the
TVCN consensus through 48 hours, then follows more closely to the
GFEX (GFS/ECMWF) consensus model.

This is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center on
Leslie. Additional information on this system can be found in High
Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS
header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and available on the Web

Subtropical Depression Leslie Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Tue Sep 25 2018

No significant changes have occurred with Leslie overnight. Deep
convection is generally confined to the eastern half of the
circulation as dry air continues to wrap into the western portion
of the cyclone. Satellite images indicate that the circulation has
become stretched from north to south, likely due to the approach of
a cold front that is currently located a few hundred miles to the
northwest of Leslie. The initial intensity is held at 30 kt based
on the earlier ASCAT data.

The cold front is expected to merge with Leslie by tonight, causing
extratropical transition. While transitioning, Leslie is forecast
to strengthen for a couple of days due to significant baroclinic
forcing, and the NHC intensity forecast takes the peak winds just
below hurricane force at 36 and 48 hours. Later in the week, the
extratropical system is expected to cut off and gradually lose its
frontal features. Although this will likely cause some weakening,
it should also allow the system to regain subtropical
characteristics. The NHC intensity forecast is fairly similar to
the previous one and near the IVCN consensus model. This forecast
is also in fairly good agreement with the GFS and ECMWF models,
which are usually reliable intensity models for large subtropical
systems like Leslie. Based on the latest guidance, Leslie is now
expected to transition back to a subtropical cyclone in 96 hours.

Leslie has jogged to the southeast during the past several hours,
but an eastward to northeastward motion is expected during the next
day or so as Leslie makes its extratropical transition. After that
time, a turn to the north is expected followed by a slow westward
motion when Leslie cuts off from the mid-latitude flow. The models
are in fairly good agreement on this looping motion, and the NHC
track forecast follows the various consensus aids.

Subtropical Depression Leslie Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Mon Sep 24 2018

Leslie's appearance in satellite imagery hasn't changed much this
evening. Deep convection is mainly occuring in bands well displaced
to the southeast of the cyclone's center, and recent ASCAT data
indicated that the maximum winds have decreased to near 30 kt, with
the highest wind occuring in those bands.

All indications are that Leslie will undergo a complicated
transition over the next several days. Little change is expected
with Leslie until it becomes post-tropical in about 24 hours. After
that time, all of the global models suggest that Leslie will quickly
strengthen as a result of substantial baroclinic forcing, likely
reaching a peak intensity sometime between 48 and 72 h. At the same
time, the cyclone will likely undergo a classic transition from
frontal low to warm seclusion while the wind field rapidly expands,
with 34-kt (gale-force) winds reaching several hundred miles from
the cyclone's center. By 96 h, the models indicate that Leslie will
once again become cut-off from the mid-latitude flow, and could
begin to re-acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics. While
each of the global models handles the exact details of this complex
evolution a little differently, confidence is increasing that Leslie
will become a powerful extratropical cyclone over the central
Atlantic over the next few of days. The NHC intensity forecast has
been increased between 36 and 96 h, and is near a average of the
global and regional dynamical model tracker output.

The depression is currently moving slowly eastward with an initial
motion of 090/3 kt. The guidance is in good agreement that Leslie
will accelerate eastward as it becomes more embedded within an
approaching frontal zone. A northward turn is expected by mid-week,
followed by a bend back toward the west by the end of the week as
Leslie strengthens, occludes, and eventually cuts off from the
mid-latitude flow to the north. The NHC track forecast has not been
significantly changed, and is near the GFEX and HCCA consensus aids
at most forecast hours. However, it should be noted that spread in
the guidance is high, especially by the end of the forecast period,
so confidence in the track forecast at that time is low.

At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Subtropical Depression
Leslie was located near latitude 33.1 North, longitude 47.1 West.
The depression is moving toward the east near 3 mph (6 km/h). A
faster eastward motion is expected to begin on Tuesday, followed by
a turn toward the north on Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h) with
higher gusts. Leslie is forecast to become post-tropical on
Tuesday. Strengthening is likely after that time, and Leslie is
expected to become a large and powerful post-tropical cyclone by
Wednesday with winds approaching hurricane force.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Mon Sep 24 2018

Leslie's cloud pattern has become rather ragged and less organized
this afternoon. Visible satellite imagery indicates that the
surface circulation has become elongated, from north to south, with
multiple cloud swirls rotating within the larger gyre. The initial
intensity is held at 35 kt for this advisory and could be generous,
based on the earlier partial ASCAT-A wind retrievals. The
intensity forecast philosophy remains the same. Leslie is expected
to interact with the incoming baroclinic zone approaching from the
northwest and begin intensifying as it completes a
post-tropical/extratropical transition by mid period. The official
forecast is based on the IVCN multi-model intensity consensus
through 36 hours, and a blend of the global models after Leslie
becomes an extratropical low.

Based on a centroid position of the aforementioned multiple surface
swirls, Leslie continues to move in an eastward fashion, or 090/6
kt. Leslie should turn toward the east-northeast in 36 hours in
response to an approaching mid-latitude trough and associated cold
front from the northwest over the central Atlantic. The large-scale
models are in good agreement with Leslie completing an extratropical
transition at that time. Afterward, the post-tropical cyclone is
forecast to become cut off from the mid- to upper-tropospheric
westerly steering flow and move cyclonically toward the end of the
week between the building Bermuda high to the west and mid-level
ridging over the east Atlantic. The NHC forecast now shows Leslie
as a strengthening extratropical low through day 5, in agreement
with GFS, Canadian, and European models. Subsequently, the wind
radii forecast has also been adjusted based on a compromise of the
aforementioned large-scale models.

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Mon Sep 24 2018

Conventional satellite imagery shows little change in Leslie's
cloud pattern during the past several hours with the exception of a
few new isolated thunderstorms developing near the surface center.
Accordingly, the initial intensity for this advisory is kept at 35
kt. The statistical intensity guidance and the large-scale models
show Leslie commencing a strengthening trend in 24 hours as a
mid-latitude baroclinic system digs southeastward toward the
cyclone. Some of the models also indicate that Leslie, after
completing an extratropical transition in around 48 hours, will
deepen and generate a large area of gale force winds, particularly
in the northwest quadrant. The NHC intensity forecast reflects this
scenario and is just below the IVCN intensity consensus.

The initial motion is estimated to be an eastward drift, or 090/4 kt
within the increasing mid-level westerly steering flow. A turn to
the east-northeast is forecast as an approaching mid-latitude
trough and associated cold front approaches from the northwest over
the central Atlantic. The deterministic guidance indicate that the
aforementioned baroclinic system will overtake Leslie near the 48
hour period, and influence a transition to a non-tropical low
pressure system. Subsequently, the GFS and the European models
still show extratropical Leslie as the primary system and deepening
with time. For now, the official forecast will indicate a merging
scenario, but succeeding advisories may include extratropical low
forecast points through day 5.

was located near latitude 32.5 North, longitude 48.0 West. The
storm is moving toward the east near 5 mph (7 km/h), and this
general motion is expected to continue through Tuesday night. A
turn toward the east-northeast with an increase in forward speed is
forecast on Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is forecast through tonight. Leslie
is forecast to strengthen by mid-week while it interacts and
eventually merges with a frontal system.

Winds of 40 mph extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km) from the
center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 AM AST Mon Sep 24 2018

Leslie has changed little overnight. The large subtropical cyclone
continues to produce patches of deep convection, mostly to the south
and east of the center. The initial intensity is again held at 35
kt, which is near the upper end of the satellite intensity
estimates.

The subtropical storm is moving southward at 5 kt. The steering
currents around Leslie are expected to collapse later today and
little overall motion is forecast during the next 12-18 hours.
After that time, a cold front is expected to approach the system,
and that should cause Leslie to move eastward tonight and Tuesday.
The front is expected to merge with Leslie by Tuesday night, causing
it to become extratropical. While little change in intensity is
expected during the next day or so, due to dry air and moderate
shear, some strengthening as an extratropical low is likely due to
baroclinic forcing. In fact, after becoming extratropical, the
models show Leslie merging with another frontal low to its north,
leading to the formation of a powerful slow-moving non-tropical low
with gale- or storm-force winds over the central Atlantic later this
week.

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 PM AST Sun Sep 23 2018

There has been little change in the organization of the subtropical
cyclone over the past several hours. Patches of deep convection
continue to develop over the southeastern portion of the circulation
but there is a lack of convective banding elsewhere. The initial
intensity remains 35 kt, which is based on a partial ASCAT pass that
detected 25-30 kt winds over the northwestern portion of the storm
this evening. Leslie is not forecast to strengthen over the next
day or so due to dry air and moderate vertical shear. By 48 hours,
some increase in wind is predicted as Leslie interacts with an
approaching baroclinic zone.

Leslie jogged west-southwestward for a few hours this evening, but
has since turned southwestward and slowed down. The system is
forecast to move little over the next 24 hours, then begin a faster
eastward motion on Monday night and Tuesday as a mid-latitude trough
and associated cold front digs southeastward over the central
Atlantic. The global models indicate that the front will overtake
Leslie in about 48 hours, and the NHC forecast calls for the system
to become an extratropical low at that time. The evolution of the
system becomes even more complex after that, as the GFS shows Leslie
being absorbed by a new non-tropical low pressure area to the north,
while some of other global models maintain post-tropical Leslie as
the primary low pressure area. For now, the NHC forecast maintains
continuity with the previous advisories and calls for the system to
merge with the larger front/low by 72 h, but there is a high level
of uncertainty in the exact evolution and structure of the system.
Regardless of the details of the evolution, a large non-tropical
low pressure area with gale- to storm-force winds is expected to be
over the east-central Atlantic later this week.

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
500 PM AST Sun Sep 23 2018

Leslie's cloud pattern has not become any better organized, nor do
we have any data to support a wind increase. The initial intensity
is then kept at 35 kt. The evolution of Leslie is very complex and
difficult to forecast. There is a possibility that Leslie will be
absorbed by a larger low that is forecast to form nearby, or that
Leslie could maintain its identity while rotating around the low. At
this time NHC will maintain continuity and forecasts Leslie to be
absorbed by the large low by 72 hours. No significant change in
intensity or structure is anticipated until then.

Leslie continues to be embedded within very light steering currents,
and most likely the cyclone will merely meander today and
tomorrow. After that time, with the development of the new low to
the north, Leslie will likely be steered eastward until it is
absorbed. The track forecast is highly uncertain given the complex
flow pattern surrounding the subtropical cyclone.

Subtropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132018
1100 AM AST Sun Sep 23 2018

The development of a subtropical storm that NHC and the global
models have been advertising for the past several days has
materialized, and based on satellite intensity classification from
TAFB and earlier ASCAT data, advisories on Subtropical Storm Leslie
have been initiated.

Leslie is still embedded within an upper-level low and strong winds
are removed from the center. However, there is a chance as usual
that the subtropical cyclone could develop additional convection
near the center, and the transition to a tropical system during the
next day or so is not out of the question. Global models do
indicate that a new low is going to form north of Leslie, and that
the subtropical cyclone will become absorbed by the new larger low.
This is the scenario depicted by NHC at this time.

Leslie is embedded within very light steering currents, and most
likely the cyclone will be meandering today and tomorrow. After
that time, with the development of the new low to the north, Leslie
will likely move east until it becomes absorbed.
