Post-Tropical Cyclone Gamma Discussion Number 15
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
1000 PM CDT Mon Oct 05 2020

Gamma was entirely devoid of convection for most of the day. Shortly
before sunset, a few disorganized thunderstorms developed to the
southeast of the cyclone's center, however these appear to be forced
at least in part by a sea breeze boundary and are not exclusively
associated with Gamma. A few other small cells of convection have
developed to the west of Gamma's center during the past hour or so,
but not nearly enough to be considered sufficiently organized to
meet the requirement for a tropical cyclone. Gamma is therefore now
considered to be post-tropical and this will be the last NHC
advisory.

The cyclone could still produce some additional disorganized
convection and periods of heavy rain overnight as it moves inland
over the Yucatan peninsula, but this is not expected to result in
significant regeneration. Some of this rain could impact areas that
are preparing for the much more significant approach of Hurricane
Delta in a day or so. The cyclone is moving southwestward near
5 kt, and this should continue for another day or so until it
dissipates. The winds associated with Gamma's remnants should
gradually weaken through that time, though the system could still
produce a few areas of heavy rain over southeastern Mexico.

It is worth noting that several model trackers, and consequently
the consensus aids, depict that Gamma will move northward over the
Gulf of Mexico and strengthen significantly in a couple of days.
This is because the trackers lose track of Gamma when it dissipates
and start following nearby Hurricane Delta instead. In reality, no
models forecast that Gamma will remain a well-defined cyclone for
more than another day or two.

Tropical Depression Gamma Discussion Number 14
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
400 PM CDT Mon Oct 05 2020

The last couple of legs of the Air Force Reserve reconnaissance
aircraft mission and recent METOP-A and C scatterometer passes
support lowering Gamma's initial intensity to 30 kt for this
advisory. Conventional satellite imagery reveals that the cyclone
has been devoid of deep convection for nearly 10 hours and is on
its way to becoming a post-tropical remnant low. Strong southerly
shear and a stable, relatively dry surrounding air mass should
prevent any significant convective regeneration as the system
approaches the northern coast of the northwestern Yucatan peninsula
tomorrow. After the remnants of Gamma makes landfall, dissipation
is likely to occur Wednesday as larger, Tropical Storm Delta
approaches the Yucatan Channel.

The initial motion is estimated to be southwestward, or 230/4 kt.
A continued southwestward or west-southwestward motion is expected
through Wednesday morning while moving inland over the northern
Mexican State of Yucatan. The NHC forecast track is basically an
update of this morning's package and is based on the various
multi-model consensus aids.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce areas of heavy rainfall through
midweek over portions of southeast Mexico, including the Mexican
states of Yucatan, Campeche, and Tabasco. This rainfall could result
in areas of flash flooding.

2. Gusty winds are likely along portions of the northern coast of
the Yucatan Peninsula later today through Tuesday.

Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 13
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
1000 AM CDT Mon Oct 05 2020

Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft investigating Gamma found
maximum 850 mb flight-level winds of 37 kt and surface SFMR peak
winds of 40 kt, and the central pressure has increased to 1003 mb.
Therefore, the initial intensity is lowered to 40 kt for this
advisory.

Stiff, persistent southerly shear, and an inhibiting thermodynamic
surrounding environment should prevent Gamma from restrengthening,
although, the Decay SHIPS intensity model does indicate a very
brief period of decreasing shear magnitude just prior to landfall
around the 24 hour period. Afterward, the shear, once again,
increases. Gamma is expected to make landfall over the
northwestern Yucatan peninsula on Tuesday and further weakening
to a remnant low is forecast Wednesday as the cyclone remains
inland over the northern Mexican State of Yucatan. Dissipation is
likely to occur Friday over the region, if not sooner.

The initial motion is estimated to be a south-southwestward drift,
or 205/2 kt. A turn southwestward or west-southwestward is
expected by tonight and this general motion should continue through
Wednesday morning while moving inland over the northern Mexican
State of Yucatan. The large-scale models still insist on some
binary interaction occurring with Tropical Storm Delta commencing
Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. This should cause Gamma to
gradually turn cyclonically through Thursday while remaining over
the Northern Yucatan peninsula. If there is a delay in Gamma's
landfall, or the cyclone does remain just offshore, similar to the
outlier UKMET, then Tropical Storm Delta could end up absorbing the
smaller Gamma tropical cyclone toward the end of the week. For
now, the NHC forecast will side with a landfall scenario which
agrees with the HCCA consensus and the GFS/ECMWF solutions.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall through midweek over
portions of southeast Mexico, including the Mexican states of
Yucatan, Campeche, and Tabasco. This rainfall could result in
significant flash flooding.

2. Even though Gamma is just offshore, tropical storm conditions
are likely along portions of the northern coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula later today.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gamma was
located near latitude 22.6 North, longitude 87.5 West. Gamma is
drifting toward the south-southwest near 2 mph (4 km/h). Gamma is
forecast to gradually turn toward the southwest later today, and
continue to move slowly in that direction through mid-week. On the
forecast track, the center of Gamma will continue to meander
offshore of the northern Yucatan Peninsula and pass near or just
offshore of the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula this
evening and on Tuesday. Gamma could possibly move inland along the
northwest coast of the Yucatan Peninsula Tuesday night and
Wednesday.

Data from the reconnaissance aircraft indicate that maximum
sustained winds have decreased to near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next few days.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km),
mainly northwest through northeast of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure based on measurements from
the hurricane hunter plane is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).

Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
400 AM CDT Mon Oct 05 2020

Gamma is a strongly sheared tropical storm that has been meandering
just north of the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
Strong convective cloud tops colder than -80 deg C are located more
than 60 nmi north and northeast of the well-defined and fully
exposed low-level circulation center. An Air Force Reserve
reconnaissance aircraft investigating the cyclone found maximum
850-mb flight-level winds of only 44 kt along with peak SFMR surface
winds of 47 kt. In addition, a 0329Z ASCAT-A pass revealed peak
surface winds of 41 kt. Allowing for undersampling by the
scatterometer instrument and blending it with the SFMR winds
supports lowering the initial intensity to 45 kt. The central
pressure of 999 mb is based on a center dropsonde reports of 1000 mb
and 10-12 kt winds.

The initial motion estimate is an uncertain 240/02 kt. Gamma's
future track remains highly uncertain after day 2. For the next 48
hours or so, the cyclone is forecast to move slowly southwestward to
west-southwestward and weaken due to strong southerly vertical wind
shear. Thereafter, TD-26 to the east is forecast to strengthen into
a hurricane, accompanied by a corresponding increase in the size of
that cyclone's circulation, which is expected to result in some
binary interaction between the two tropical cyclones. Due to Gamma's
expected smaller size on days 3 and 4, the cyclone is forecast to be
pulled eastward and then northward, making landfall on and then
moving over the northwestern Yucatan Peninsula. By day 5, Gamma is
expected to degenerate into a remnant low and then be absorbed by
the larger circulation of the expected central Gulf of Mexico
hurricane that is currently TD-26. The new NHC track forecast is
similar to but a little slower than the previous advisory track, and
lies close to the southern edge of the guidance envelope.

Strong southerly wind shear, combined with drier and more stable air
just to the west of Gamma, is expected to weaken the cyclone further
over the next few days. If land interaction occurs sooner than
expected, then the cyclone could weaken and dissipate sooner than
currently forecast. For now, the intensity forecast maintains
continuity with the previous advisory and shows dissipation by 120
hours as Gamma interacts with what is expected to be a significant
hurricane over the central Gulf of Mexico by 96 hours, which could
end up absorbing the smaller Gamma tropical cyclone.

Due to the uncertainty in the forecast at this time, future
advisories may feature larger-than-normal changes to the track or
intensity forecast. It is also worth noting that several dynamical
model trackers appear to lose Gamma and jump to tracking Tropical
Depression Twenty-Six when it reaches the Gulf of Mexico, resulting
in unrealistic depictions of the model intensity and track
forecasts.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall through midweek over
portions of southeast Mexico, including the Mexican states of
Yucatan, Campeche, and Tabasco. This rainfall could result in
significant flash flooding.

2. Even though Gamma is just offshore, tropical storm conditions
are likely along portions of the northern coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula later today.

Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
1000 PM CDT Sun Oct 04 2020

Gamma has moved much farther northeast than previously anticipated.
With little in the way of low or mid-level large-scale steering flow
currently in place, it seems likely that upper-level
southwesterlies, also responsible for the shear affecting the
tropical storm, are causing this recent northeastward motion. This
may be either through reformations of the center closer to the
convection or a direct contribution to the net steering. An Air
Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is currently investigating
Gamma and so far has found max SFMR winds of 47 kt but flight level
winds of only 45 kt. Given the data so far, there is no indication
that Gamma is any stronger than the 50 kt intensity, but it seems
prudent to let the plane finish its pattern before lowering the
winds at this time.

Gamma's future track is highly uncertain. The track guidance spread
is much higher than usual, and confidence in the forecast is
accordingly low. Most of the global models indicate that Gamma will
soon begin moving generally west-southwestward as a mid-level ridge
briefly builds over the eastern and central Gulf of Mexico.
Unfortunately, there is little agreement on exactly when this will
happen or how fast Gamma will move once it turns. After about 48 h,
Gamma could interact with Tropical Depression Twenty-Six, which is
forecast to move over the northwestern Caribbean Sea at that time.
Current dynamical models are notoriously bad at forecasting such
interactions, but if the two systems do interact it will likely
cause Gamma to move inland over the Yucatan.

Whether such an interaction occurs or not, continued shear and
proximity to land should cause the tropical storm to gradually
weaken, and Gamma could dissipate if it moves over land (and stays
there) in a few days, as shown by the GFS. The ECMWF shows the
vortex remaining over water but dissipating nonetheless, while a
couple other global models maintain the vortex longer and show it
moving north over the central Gulf of Mexico late in the forecast
period. The NHC forecast is a compromise between those solutions,
showing a remnant low moving north over the southern Gulf of Mexico
by day 5. In general, the NHC intensity forecast is similar to the
previous one, but slightly lower to account for the system
potentially moving inland.

Due to the uncertainty in the forecast at this time, future
advisories may feature larger than normal changes to the track or
intensity forecast. It is also worth noting that several dynamical
model trackers appear to lose Gamma and jump to tracking Tropical
Depression Twenty-Six when it reaches the Gulf of Mexico, resulting
in unrealistic depictions of the intensity and track forecasts.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall for several days over
portions of southeastern Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Central
America, and far western Cuba. This rainfall could result in
life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides, particularly in the
mountainous regions of southeastern Mexico and Central America.

2. Even though Gamma is just offshore, tropical storm conditions
are likely along portions of the northern coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula on Monday.

Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
400 PM CDT Sun Oct 04 2020

The last aircraft reconnaissance fix, recorded a couple of hours
ago, indicated that Gamma's center had wobbled a little to the
right of the previous 6-hour motion and is located near the
southeastern edge of the convective canopy. Flight-level winds
adjusted to the surface, SFMR wind data, and a blend of Dvorak
satellite intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB still support an
initial intensity of 50 kt for this advisory.

The UW-CIMSS shear analysis reveals stiff 20-25 kt southerly shear
impinging on the south portion of the cyclone. Subsequently, the
large-scale models and the ECMWF/GFS statistical-dynamical
intensity guidance show the shear magnitude increasing during the
next 24 hours. This inhibiting upper wind pattern should induce
weakening soon. Although the shear is predicted to decrease
somewhat around mid-period, Gamma should exhibit little change in
strength through the remaining period which is in best agreement
with all of the skilled intensity guidance. As mentioned in
previous advisories, it cannot be stressed enough the relatively
high level of uncertainty in this intensity forecast, and that it's
primarily dependent on whether or not the cyclone moves back over
the Yucatan Peninsula.

Gamma should continue to move little, or meander over the
southern Gulf of Mexico, near the northern coast of the
Yucatan Peninsula through most of tomorrow. By Monday night,
the global models are in good agreement with the western extent of
a subtropical ridge reestablishing temporarily over the central
Gulf of Mexico. This change in the synoptic steering pattern
should cause the cyclone to turn and move west-southwestward
through the 72 hour forecast period. After a brief reduction in
forward speed late Wednesday, while Potential-Tropical Cyclone
Twenty-Six moves into the central Gulf of Mexico, a turn toward the
northwest is expected on Thursday as the ridge, once again, builds
back over the central Gulf in response to PTC Twenty-Six
approaching the northern Gulf coast. The official track forecast
is adjusted to the left of the previous one through the 60 hour
period to agree more with the HCCA consensus, and shifted to the
right through day 5.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall for several days over
portions of southeastern Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Central
America, and far western Cuba. This rainfall could result in
life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides, particularly in the
mountainous regions of southeastern Mexico and Central America.

2. Even though Gamma is just offshore, tropical storm conditions
will continue across portions of the northern coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula today.

Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
1000 AM CDT Sun Oct 04 2020

An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft has found the center
of Gamma over the far southern Gulf of Mexico, just north of the
Yucatan Peninsula. Early morning visible satellite imagery has
revealed decent banding structure over the northern and western
portions of the circulation. The aircraft has measured a peak 850
mb flight-level wind of 66 kt and SFMR winds of 47 kt. A blend of
these data support an initial intensity of 50 kt, which is also in
line with the latest Dvorak classifications of T3.0 and T3.5 from
SAB and TAFB, respectively.

Gamma appears to be slowing down as anticipated, with an initial
motion estimate of 360/3 kt. Gamma is expected to meander over the
southern Gulf of Mexico, just north of the northern coast of the
Yucatan peninsula during the next 12-24 hours. By late Monday, the
western portion of a subtropical ridge is expected to build
westward over the northern Gulf of Mexico. This should cause Gamma
to turn westward to west-southwestward through the remainder of the
forecast period. The dynamical model guidance is in general
agreement on this scenario, but there are some differences in how
close Gamma tracks to the northwestern portion of the Yucatan
peninsula. The NHC track splits these differences and is a blend
TCVA multi-model consensus and the HFIP corrected consensus. The
new track forecast is very close to the previous official forecast.

Although Gamma has re-strengthened this morning, increasing
southerly wind shear is expected over the cyclone by tonight.
This unfavorable upper-level environment is likely to cause
some gradual weakening by late tonight and Monday. Since the
vertical shear expected to remain moderate to strong through the
latter portion of the forecast period, little overall change in
strength is shown after 48 hours.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall for several days over
portions of southeastern Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Central
America, and far western Cuba. This rainfall could result in
life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides, particularly in the
mountainous regions of southeastern Mexico and Central America.

2. Even though Gamma is offshore, tropical storm conditions will
continue across portions of the northern coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula today.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter
aircraft has located the center of Tropical Storm Gamma near
latitude 22.1 North, longitude 88.2 West. Gamma is moving toward the
north near 4 mph (6 km/h), and this general motion with a further
decrease in forward speed is forecast today. Gamma should turn
toward the west or west-southwest tonight or Monday. On the forecast
track, the center of Gamma will meander offshore of the northern
Yucatan Peninsula and over the extreme southern Gulf of Mexico
today, and pass near or just offshore of the northern coast of the
Yucatan Peninsula on Monday and Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some re-strengthening is expected today, followed by
weakening tonight or Monday, which should continue into Wednesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km),
mainly north and east of the center.

The minimum central pressure estimated from reconnaissance aircraft
data is 995 mb (29.39 inches).

Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
400 AM CDT Sun Oct 04 2020

Tropical Storm Gamma has moved back over open water, just offshore
the northern Yucatan Peninsula in the extreme southern Gulf of
Mexico. Although deep convection has been increasing near the
center, the overall convective cloud shield is now strung out to
the north and northeast due to southerly to southwesterly vertical
wind shear in excess of 15 kt. The initial intensity of 45 kt is
based on an earlier ASCAT pass showing 39-kt surface winds just
offshore the northeastern tip of Yucatan, and these winds were
likely under-sampled due to their proximity to the coast. Satellite
classifications from both TAFB and SAB were T3.0/45 kt, which
further supports the 45-kt intensity assessment.

The initial motion estimate is 355/04 kt. As the day progresses,
Gamma is expected to move further into a slight weakness in
subtropical ridge located to the north of the cyclone and slow down,
possibly stalling by this afternoon. The trough over the
southeastern U.S. that is creating the weakness is forecast to move
offshore the U.S. east coast by tonight, causing the ridge to build
back in and force Gamma westward to west-southwestward from Monday
through Thursday. The new NHC track forecast follows the TVCA and
FSSE consensus models, and is similar to but slightly slower and a
little to the right/north of the previous advisory track.

Now that Gamma is back out over open water, some slight
re-strengthening is expected today. However, strong southerly
vertical wind shear is forecast to increase across the cyclone by
tonight and especially on Monday, and continue for the next few
days. The result should be a slow but gradual weakening trend on
Monday through the end of the forecast period. The new official
intensity forecast follow the downward trend of the simple- and
corrected-consensus models, but is slightly higher than the IVCN,
HCCA, FSSE intensity models.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall for several days over
portions of southeastern Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Central
America, and far western Cuba. This rainfall could result in
life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides, particularly in the
mountainous regions of southeastern Mexico and Central America.

2. Even though Gamma is offshore, tropical storm conditions will
continue across portions of the Yucatan Peninsula today.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gamma was
located inland near latitude 21.0 North, longitude 87.9 West. Gamma
is moving toward the northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h), and a turn
toward the north-northwest with decreasing forward speed is expected
tonight and Sunday, followed by a turn to the west or west-southwest
Sunday night or Monday. On the forecast track, the center of Gamma
will continue to move over the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula
through tonight, move into the southern Gulf of Mexico on Sunday,
and pass near or north of the northern coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula Sunday night and Monday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 60 mph (95 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast tonight and
Sunday, followed by some re-intensification by Monday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.23 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Gamma can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5, WMO header WTNT45
KNHC, and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml.

RAINFALL: Gamma is expected to produce rainfall of 4 to 8 inches
across portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and far western Cuba, with
maximum rainfall amounts as high as 10 to 15 inches possible across
northeastern Quintana Roo and northern Yucatan. This rainfall may
produce life-threatening flash floods.

A separate area of significant rain is possible in the Mexican
states of Campeche, Tabasco, northern Chiapas, and southeast
Veracruz, with rainfall of 6 to 8 inches and isolated maximum
amounts of 12 inches. This rainfall may produce life-threatening
flash floods and mudslides. The storm will also result in an area of
heavy rains to the south that will affect the Gulf of Fonseca
region between eastern El Salvador, southern Honduras, and
northwest Nicaragua with accumulation of 4 to 6 inches and isolated
maximum amounts of 8 inches.

Rainfall of 1 to 3 inches with maximum amounts of 5 inches is
expected over the Cayman Islands.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions should continue within the Tropical
Storm Warning area on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula for
the next few hours, and these conditions should spread across
the remainder of the warning area through Sunday. Tropical Storm
conditions are possible within the Tropical Storm Watch area on
Monday.

Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
400 PM CDT Sat Oct 03 2020

Surface observations from the Yucatan Peninsula along with
high-resolution visible satellite imagery indicated that the center
of Gamma made landfall in the vicinity of Tulum, Mexico, shortly
before 1700 UTC. Earlier aircraft observations and pressure
measurements from Tulum showed that the system was very near
hurricane strength when it made landfall. A ragged eye appeared in
the visible images shortly after the center crossed the coast, but
that feature has since become obscured. Since Gamma has likely
been slowly weakening while moving over land, the current intensity
has been set to 55 kt. Continued gradual weakening is likely into
Sunday while the center either moves over land or interacts with
nearby land. Some re-strengthening is expected to begin by
Monday, but the numerical guidance is not very enthusiastic about
intensification over the Gulf, probably due to the combination of
drier air and the interaction with another low pressure system to
the east. The official intensity forecast is not much different
from the model consensus.

Gamma has been moving northwestward, but it is expected to turn
north-northwestward while moving near and into a weakness in the
subtropical ridge over the next day or so. The global models
predict that a trough to the north of the tropical cyclone will
lift northeastward and bypass Gamma. In a couple of days, a ridge
is forecast to build back, albeit weakly, across the Gulf of
Mexico. This is expected to cause the system to turn westward to
southwestward over the latter part of the forecast period. The
more reliable global models show the system meandering over the
southern Bay of Campeche in 4 to 5 days, and so does the official
forecast.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall for several days over
portions of southeastern Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Central
America, and far western Cuba. This rainfall could result in
life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides, particularly in the
mountainous regions of southeastern Mexico and Central America.

2. Even though Gamma has moved inland, tropical storm conditions
will continue along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula through
this evening and are expected to spread along the north coast within
the Tropical Storm Warning area tonight and on Sunday.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 PM CDT (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gamma was
located near latitude 20.4 North, longitude 87.6 West. Gamma is
moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this motion
should continue at a slower forward speed today. A turn toward the
north-northwest is expected on Sunday, followed by a turn to the
west or west-southwest Sunday night or Monday. On the forecast
track, the center of Gamma should move farther inland over the
eastern Yucatan Peninsula later today, and be near the north coast
of the Yucatan Peninsula on Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
gusts. Slow weakening is likely through tonight while the center
moves over land. Some re-strengthening is expected to begin when
the center moves into the southern Gulf of Mexico on Sunday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
from the center.

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


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Gamma can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5, WMO header WTNT45
KNHC, and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml.

RAINFALL: Gamma is expected to produce rainfall of 4 to 8 inches
across portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and far western Cuba, with
maximum rainfall amounts as high as 10 to 15 inches possible across
northeastern Quintana Roo and northern Yucatan. This rainfall may
produce life-threatening flash floods.

A separate area of significant rain is expected to develop well away
from the center in the Mexican states of Campeche, Tabasco, northern
Chiapas, and southeast Veracruz, with rainfall of 6 to 8 inches and
isolated maximum amounts of 12 inches. This rainfall may produce
life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. The storm will also
result in an area of heavy rains to the south that will affect the
Gulf of Fonseca region between eastern El Salvador, southern
Honduras, and northwest Nicaragua with accumulation of 4-6 inches
and isolated maximum amounts of 8 inches.

Additional rainfall of 1 to 3 inches with maximum amounts of 5
inches is expected over the Cayman Islands.

WIND: Hurricane conditions could still occur within the Hurricane
Warning area during the next couple of hours. Tropical storm
conditions should continue within the Tropical Storm Warning area on
the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula today, and these conditions
should spread across the remainder of the warning area through
Sunday. Tropical Storm conditions are possible within the Tropical
Storm Watch area later today and on Sunday.

STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge will raise water levels by
as much as 1 to 3 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate
coast near and north of where the center crossed the coast. Near
the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive
waves. Water levels should begin to subside later today.

Tropical Storm Gamma Tropical Cyclone Update
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
1200 PM CDT Sat Oct 03 2020

...GAMMA MAKES LANDFALL NEAR TULUM, MEXICO...

Surface observations and satellite images indicate that the center
of Tropical Storm Gamma made landfall in the northeast Yucatan
Peninsula near Tulum, Mexico, around 1145 AM CDT. The storm was
very close to hurricane strength at landfall, with maximum
sustained winds near 70 MPH (110 MPH) with higher gusts.

A weather station at Xel-Ha Park, along the Yucatan coast just
north of Tulum, reported a sustained wind of 55 mph (89 km/h) and a
gust to 68 mph (109 km/h) within the past hour.

Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
1000 AM CDT Sat Oct 03 2020

Observations from both the Air Force and NOAA Hurricane Hunters
indicate that Gamma has continued to strengthen this morning. The
cloud pattern has continued to become better organized, with an eye
trying to become evident on high-resolution satellite images from
the GOES-16 mesoscale sectors. Flight-level and SFMR-observed
surface winds from the aircraft support an intensity of 60 kt, and
the storm could strengthen a little more as long as the center
remains over water. Since Gamma will be near or at hurricane
intensity when it makes landfall later today, the government of
Mexico has issued a Hurricane Warning for a portion of the
northeastern Yucatan Peninsula. Gamma should weaken some while it
moves over land tonight. Some re-intensification is likely after
the center moves into the southern Gulf of Mexico. However, the
numerical guidance does not show much strengthening during the next
few days, possibly due to the influence of drier air and/or the
interaction with another area of low pressure to the east of Gamma.
The official intensity forecast is near or above the model
consensus.

Gamma continues northwestward at near 8 kt. The cyclone is
expected to turn north-northwestward and move through a break in
the subtropical ridge through 36 hours or so. Thereafter, a trough
to the north moves eastward, bypassing Gamma, and later in the
forecast period a ridge builds weakly over the Gulf of Mexico.
This should cause the cyclone to turn toward the west and
southwest. The official track forecast is close to the multi-model
consensus, TVCN.

Although Gamma has strengthened, its biggest threat continues to be
torrential rains, flooding, and mudslides especially near and over
mountainous terrain.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall for several
days over portions of southeastern Mexico, the Yucatan
Peninsula, Central America, and far western Cuba. This
rainfall could result in life-threatening flash flooding
and mudslides, particularly in the mountainous regions of
southeastern Mexico and Central America.

2. Gamma is very near hurricane strength and will be near or at
hurricane intensity when the center moves inland over the Yucatan
Peninsula later today. A Hurricane Warning is now in effect
for portions of the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, where
tropical storm conditions are already occurring. Tropical storm
conditions are expected along the north coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula within the Tropical Storm Warning area later today
and on Sunday.

moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this motion
should continue at a slower forward speed today. A turn toward the
north is expected on Sunday, followed by a turn to the west or
west-southwest Sunday night or Monday. On the forecast track, the
center of Gamma should move inland over the eastern Yucatan
Peninsula later today, and be near the north coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula on Sunday.

Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft
indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph
(100 km/h) with higher gusts. Some slight additional strengthening
is possible before Gamma makes landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula
today. After landfall, some weakening is expected.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
from the center.

The minimum central pressure estimated from Hurricane Hunter
observations is 987 mb (29.15 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Gamma can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5, WMO header WTNT45
KNHC, and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml.

RAINFALL: Gamma is expected to produce rainfall of 4 to 8 inches
across portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and far western Cuba, with
maximum rainfall amounts as high as 10 to 15 inches possible across
the northeastern portion of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. This
rainfall may produce life-threatening flash floods.

A separate area of significant rain is expected to develop well away
from the center in the Mexican states of Campeche, Tabasco, and
northern Chiapas with rainfall of 8 to 12 inches and isolated
maximum amounts of 20 inches. This rainfall may produce
life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.

Rainfall of 1 to 3 inches with maximum amounts of 5 inches is
expected in the Bay Islands of Honduras and over the Cayman Islands.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are spreading into the Tropical
Storm Warning area on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, and
these conditions should spread across the remainder of the warning
area through Sunday. Tropical Storm conditions are possible
within the Tropical Storm Watch area later today and on Sunday.

Tropical Storm Gamma Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
400 AM CDT Sat Oct 03 2020

Satellite imagery and reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane
Hunter aircraft indicate that Gamma is strengthening. A central
dense overcast with cloud tops to -85C has formed, along with an
outer convective band in the eastern semicircle. The aircraft has
reported maximum 850 mb flight-level winds of 58 kt and reliable-
looking surface wind estimates from the Stepped Frequency Microwave
Radiometer of 40-45 kt. Based on this, the initial intensity is
increased to 45 kt.

The initial motion is again a little to the left of the previous
advisory, 305/8 kt. During the next 24-36 h, Gamma is expected to
turn northward as it tries to recurve into a break in the
subtropical ridge caused by a mid-latitude trough over the eastern
United States. The track guidance, however, is in good agreement
that the trough will bypass the tropical cyclone, with a ridge
building to the north after 36 h. This should cause Gamma to turn
westward or southwestward between the ridge and the Central
American cyclonic gyre to the south. There is uncertainty as to
whether Gamma will move over the Gulf of Mexico before this turn
occurs, as the ECMWF keeps the center inland or very near the
coast. The new forecast track is north of the ECMWF, but a little
to the south of the previous track. The foreast track calls for
landfall on the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula in about 12 h,
followed by the center reaching the Gulf of Mexico in about 36 h
and a track near the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula thereafter.

Conditions appear favorable for strengthening until landfall, and
the forecast 12-h intensity of 50 kt could be conservative given
current trends. The remainder of the intensity forecast is quite
uncertain due to the possibility of land interaction, dry air
entrainment, shear, and possible interaction with another system to
the east. The intensity guidance again does not show much
strengthening if Gamma emerges into the Gulf of Mexico, and that
part of the new intensity forecast has only minor adjustments from
the previous one. It should be noted that several models show a low
pressure area over the northern Gulf of Mexico after 120 h. Whether
this will be Gamma or a new system is unclear at this time.

The biggest threat from this large and slow-moving storm is the
the potential for heavy rainfall and flooding, particularly near
and over mountainous terrain.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall that could result in
life-threatening flash flooding over portions of the Yucatan
Peninsula, far western Cuba and well away from the center in
the Mexican states of Campeche, Tabasco, and northern Chiapas.

2. Gamma is forecast to bring tropical storm conditions to portions
of the Yucatan Peninsula today and Sunday, where a Tropical Storm
Warning is in effect.

Tropical Depression Twenty-Five Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
400 PM CDT Fri Oct 02 2020

Convective banding features have become a little better defined
over the southern portion of the circulation, but otherwise the
system has not changed much in organization since earlier today.
The current intensity estimate remains at 30 kt in agreement with a
Dvorak estimate from TAFB, and scatterometer observations
from a few hours ago. The SHIPS model output now shows some
south-southwesterly shear affecting the system during the next few
days. Otherwise, the environment should favor at least gradual
strengthening, and the cyclone is likely to become a tropical storm
prior to moving near the Yucatan Peninsula. The official intensity
forecast is within the range of most of the model guidance.

The initial motion estimate is the same as in the morning advisory,
315/8 kt. The depression should move along the southwestern
periphery of a mid-tropospheric high pressure area for the next
couple of days, causing the cyclone to move on a northwestward to
north-northwestward heading. Later in the forecast period, the
global models build a weak ridge across the northern half of the
Gulf of Mexico. This should induce the cyclone to turn westward or
even a little south of west in 3-5 days. The latest NHC forecast
lies between the simple and corrected dynamical model consensus
predictions, TVCA and HCCA, and is quite similar to the previous
official forecast.

At this time, the biggest threat from this slow-moving system is
rain and flooding, particularly near and over mountainous terrain.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. The system is expected to produce heavy rainfall that could
result in life-threatening flash flooding over portions of the
Yucatan Peninsula, far western Cuba and well away from the center in
the Mexican states of Campeche, Tabasco, and northern Chiapas.

2. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm and bring
tropical storm conditions to portions of the Yucatan Peninsula on
Saturday, where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect.

Tropical Depression Twenty-Five Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL252020
1100 AM EDT Fri Oct 02 2020

Visible satellite images show that cloudiness and showers associated
with the low pressure area over the northwestern Caribbean Sea have
become significantly better organized since yesterday, with
convective banding features becoming prominent. Moreover, low cloud
motions suggest that a closed circulation has become better defined.
Therefore, advisories are being initiated on Tropical Depression
Twenty-Five at this time. The initial intensity estimate is 30 kt
based on Dvorak T-numbers, but an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter
aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system later today to
provide a better intensity estimate. Sea surface temperatures are
very warm, near 30 deg C, and vertical shear should remain low for
at least the next couple of days, so the cyclone is likely to become
a tropical storm by the time it nears the Yucatan Peninsula
tomorrow. The main impediment to strengthening over the next few
days should be the interaction with land. Given the uncertainties
about how far offshore the center will be over the next several
days, the official intensity forecast is conservative.

Since there is still a lot of scatter in the center fixes, the
initial motion estimate, 315/8 kt, is rather uncertain. For the
next couple of days, the system is expected to move northwestward to
north-northwestward on the southwestern edge of a mid-level high
pressure area. This would take the center near or over the
northeastern Yucatan Peninsula. After about 48 hours, the steering
currents are not well-defined and there is considerable spread in
the track models. At this time, it appears the cyclone should move
slowly westward over the latter part of the forecast period in
response to weak ridging over the north-central Gulf of Mexico. The
official forecast is near or a little north of the corrected and
simple model consensus predictions.

Tropical Storm Warnings and Watches have been issued for a portion
of the Yucatan Peninsula.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. The system is expected to produce heavy rainfall that could
result in life-threatening flash flooding over portions of the
Yucatan Peninsula, far western Cuba and well away from the center in
the Mexican states of Campeche, Tabasco, and northern Chiapas.

2. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm and bring
tropical storm conditions to portions of the Yucatan Peninsula on
Saturday, where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect.
