Post-Tropical Cyclone Mindy Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132021
1100 PM EDT Thu Sep 09 2021

The structure of Mindy this evening has become quite diffuse, with a
linear band of convection mostly associated with a prominent outflow
boundary emanating away from the system. The last-light visible
low-level cloud motions gave the impression that Mindy was opening
up into a trough, with southwesterly flow ahead and northeasterly
flow immediately behind the estimated center. Indeed, a ASCAT-A pass
valid at 0002 UTC suggested that Mindy no longer has closed cyclonic
flow on its northeast side, with a lack of easterly wind vectors in
this sector of the system. In addition, a rapidly advancing frontal
boundary has already moved off of the Carolina coast and will
soon be merging with the leftover vort-max associated with Mindy.
The accumulation of all this evidence indicates that Mindy no
longer meets the definition of a tropical cyclone, and this will be
the final advisory on the system.

The post-tropical remains of Mindy have continued to accelerate to
the east-northeast this evening at 070/25 kt, moving almost as
quickly as the the maximum sustained winds, which is another reason
why the circulation is likely no longer closed. This motion should
continue for the next 12-24 hours with a gradual slowdown until what
remains of the circulation becomes indistinguishable from the
frontal boundary it is becoming embedded in.

Tropical Depression Mindy Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132021
500 PM EDT Thu Sep 09 2021

The latest infrared satellite imagery indicates that Mindy has been
devoid of convection near its center since about the time it emerged
over the Atlantic this morning. Deep convection is present well to
the northeast of Mindy along a surface trough that extends
northeastward from the cyclone. A late morning ASCAT pass showed a
large area of 25 to 30 kt winds southeast of the center. The initial
intensity is set to 30 kt based on this data. The ASCAT data and
surface observations indicate that the circulation has become less
well-defined, with barely any east winds observed on the north
side.

Mindy is located in an environment of strong south to southwesterly
vertical wind shear. Over the next 24 h, the shear is expected to
become even stronger. The latest forecast calls for Mindy to become
post-tropical on Friday and dissipate Friday night. However, based
on the lack on convection and the deteriorating wind structure, it
is quite possible that dissipation could occur much sooner than
forecast.

Mindy continues moving quickly off to the east-northeast, with a
motion of 075/20 kt. There has been no change to the track forecast
philosophy. Mindy is forecast to continue moving east-northeastward
at a similar speed for the next 24 h near the southern portion of a
deep-layer trough moving across the eastern United States. Once the
trough begins to lift northeastward, Mindy should slow down a little
on Friday. The NHC forecast is a little south of and slightly faster
than the previous forecast, mainly due to the farther south initial
position.

Tropical Depression Mindy Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132021
1100 AM EDT Thu Sep 09 2021

Doppler radar data and surface observations show that the center of
Mindy has recently moved offshore the coast of Georgia. Buoy
41008 located off the Georgia coast recently recorded 1-min
sustained winds of 29 kt with gusts as high as 33 kt. Thus, 30 kt
is maintained as the intensity for this advisory.

Mindy is located in an environment of strong south to southwesterly
vertical wind shear. Over the next 24 h, the shear is expected to
become even stronger. The strong shear should prevent
restrengthening and is likely to strip away any remaining convection
by Friday or Friday night. Mindy is forecast to become
post-tropical Friday evening. Most of the global models suggest
that the cyclone will open up into a trough in 36-48 h, but it is
possible this could happen sooner, as surface observations already
show that easterly winds on the north side have become quite weak.
The NHC forecast calls for dissipation Friday night, which is sooner
than the previous advisory.

Mindy continues moving quickly to the east-northeast or 065/18 kt.
There has been no change to the track forecast philosophy. Mindy is
forecast to continue moving east-northeastward at a similar speed
for the next 24 h near the southern portion of a deep-layer trough
moving across the eastern United States. Once the trough begins to
lift northeastward, Mindy should slow down a little on Friday. The
main adjustment to the NHC track is to show a slightly faster motion
toward the east-northeast at the 24-36 h points.

Key Messages:

1. Mindy will produce locally heavy rainfall across portions of
coastal South Carolina through early this afternoon. This rainfall
may produce isolated to scattered flash, urban, and small stream
flooding.

Tropical Depression Mindy Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132021
500 AM EDT Thu Sep 09 2021

Doppler radar data and surface observations show that the center of
Mindy has moved inland over southern Georgia overnight. Now that
more of the circulation has moved over land, the cyclone has
weakened and the latest observations indicate that Mindy has
become a tropical depression with an estimated intensity of 30 kt.
Mindy is forecast to move over the western Atlantic by this
afternoon, but strong southwesterly shear is expected to prevent
re-strengthening. In fact, the shear is forecast to increase to
around 35 kt by tonight, and this is likely to strip away any
remaining deep convection and cause gradual weakening. Mindy is
forecast to become a remnant low in about 48 hours and dissipate by
day 3, but given the expected shear both of those events could
occur sooner.

Mindy continues to move briskly northeastward or 055/17 kt. There
has been no change to the track forecast philosophy since the
previous advisory. Mindy should continue to move northeastward near
the southern portion of a deep-layer trough that will be moving
across the eastern United States today. Once the trough begins to
lift northeastward late tonight and Friday, Mindy should slow down
and turn east-northeastward until dissipation occurs. The guidance
envelope has shifted slightly northward this cycle, and the updated
NHC track forecast has been modified accordingly. The new NHC track
lies between the GFEX consensus aid and the GFS ensemble mean.


Key Messages:

1. Mindy is expected to produce heavy rainfall across portions of
southern Georgia and coastal South Carolina this morning. This
rainfall may produce isolated to scattered flash, urban, and small
stream flooding.

2. Tropical-storm-force wind gusts are possible across portions of
southeastern Georgia this morning.

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:

The Tropical Storm Warning is discontinued for the Florida Gulf
coast west of the Ochlockonee River.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
* Ochlockonee River to Steinhatchee River Florida

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

Interests along the Atlantic coast of northeastern Florida and
southeastern Georgia should monitor the progress of Mindy.

For storm information specific to your area, including possible
inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
local National Weather Service forecast office.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM EDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Mindy was
located near latitude 30.5 North, longitude 84.0 West. Mindy is
moving toward the northeast near 20 mph (31 km/h), and an
east-northeastward to eastward motion is expected to continue over
the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Mindy
is expected to move across the northern Florida Peninsula and
southeastern Georgia overnight and into the Atlantic this morning.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts. Gradual weakening is expected as Mindy moves over land and
into an area of unfavorable upper-level winds.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
mainly to the southeast of the center. Sustained winds of 43 mph
(68 km/h) and a gust to 55 mph (89 km/h) were measured at an
observing site near Shell Point, Florida, a couple of hours ago. A
wind gust to 38 mph (61 km/h) was recently reported at Tallahassee,
Florida.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Mindy can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3, WMO header WTNT43 KNHC,
and on the web at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at3.shtml?key_messages

RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Mindy is expected to produce storm total
rainfall of 2 to 4 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches
across the Florida Panhandle into southern portions of Georgia and
South Carolina through this morning. This rainfall may produce
isolated to scattered flash, urban, and small stream flooding.

WIND: Tropical-storm force winds are expected within the warning
area for the next few hours. Tropical-storm-force winds especially
in gusts may occur near the center of Mindy over portions of the
northern Florida Peninsula and southeastern Georgia through this
morning.

TORNADOES: A tornado or two is possible over portions of north
Florida and far south Georgia through this morning.

Tropical Storm Mindy Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132021
1100 PM EDT Wed Sep 08 2021

Doppler radar data and surface observations indicate that the
center of Mindy made landfall over St. Vincent Island, Florida,
near 0115 UTC. Since that time, the center has been moving along
the shoreline of Apalachee Bay. The intensity is held at 40 kt
based on continuity from earlier buoy data and a 43-kt wind at an
elevated tower south of Apalachicola. The central pressure has
been lowered to 1002 mb based on surface obs from the Apalachicola
area. It should be noted that while Mindy is not well organized in
satellite imagery, but it has a good radar presentation.

The initial motion is 055/17. A general east-northeastward motion
should continue for the next 24 h or so as Mindy moves along the
southern edge of a deep-layer mid-latitude trough moving across the
eastern United States. After that, a decrease in forward speed and
a more eastward motion are expected as the aforementioned trough
moves away from Mindy and the cyclone becomes vertically shallow.
The forecast track keeps the center along the Gulf coast for a few
more hours, followed by a motion across northern Florida and
southeastern Georgia into the Atlantic. The new forecast track is
a little faster than the previous forecast.

Little change in strength is likely during the next few hours while
the center of Mindy straddles the coast. Weakening should occur as
the center moves farther inland later tonight, aided by an increase
in westerly vertical wind shear. By the time the cyclone reaches
the Atlantic, the shear should be strong enough to make the system
continue to weaken. The new intensity forecast is a little
stronger than the previous forecast during the first 12 h, then is
similar to the previous forecast in calling for the cyclone to
dissipate after 72 h.


Key Messages:

1. Tropical Storm Mindy is expected to produce heavy rainfall from
the Florida Panhandle into southern portions of Georgia and South
Carolina through Thursday morning. This rainfall may produce
isolated to scattered flash, urban, and small stream flooding.

2. Tropical storm conditions are expected through tonight in
portions of the Florida Panhandle where a Tropical Storm Warning is
in effect. Tropical storm conditions are also possible across
portions of the northern Florida Peninsula and southeastern Georgia
near the center of Mindy.

two, then cross portions of the Florida Panhandle and southeastern
Georgia tonight. Mindy is then expected to move offshore of the
southeastern United States into the western Atlantic Ocean by
tomorrow.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Little change in strength is expected before Mindy makes
landfall in the Florida Panhandle.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km)
manly to the southeast of the center. During the past few hours,
NOAA buoy 42039 reported sustained winds of 47 mph (76 km/h) and a

Tropical Storm Mindy Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132021
400 PM CDT Wed Sep 08 2021

Through the day, the area of disturbed weather in the northeastern
Gulf of Mexico has gradually become better organized on
geostationary satellite and Doppler radar imagery. Earlier, a 1515
UTC ASCAT-C pass found a number of southwesterly wind retrievals in
the 30-kt range on the southeast side of the formative circulation.
The ASCAT-C Ambiguities at that time also hinted that a very small
closed circulation was trying to develop along the edge of these
stronger winds. Since that time, a well-defined circulation become
evident on KEVX Doppler-radar with inbound velocities occasionally
nearing 40-45 kt to the southeast of the radar center. These
Doppler-radar winds have been increasing over the past couple of
hours as the center moves closer to the radar and I am reasonably
confident this circulation is now surface based. Just in the last
hour or so, NOAA buoy 42039 reported a peak 1-minute sustained wind
of 35 kt just southeast of the center, confirming the system now has
tropical storm force winds. Thus, advisories are being initiated
on tropical storm Mindy with maximum sustained wind of 35 kt.

The most recent estimated motion following the center on radar is to
the northeast at 050/18 kt. The track guidance is in good agreement
that this quick motion should continue with a gentle shift to the
east-northeast in the next 24-36 hours as the system is under the
influence of a deep-layer mid-latitude trough moving across the
eastern United States. On the current heading, the center of
Mindy should move inland over the Florida Panhandle in the next 6-12
hours and then already be offshore of the southeastern United States
by 24 hours. A gradual slowdown is expected thereafter as the
cyclone is left behind by this mid-latitude trough and also becomes
vertically shallow.

Little intensification is expected prior to landfall, with land
interaction resulting in Mindy weakening back to a depression by 24
hours. Conditions do not appear favorable for restrengthening off
the southeastern United States as shear is forecast to increase
above 30 knots in 24 hours. This shear will likely strip away from
remaining convection, and both the ECMWF and GFS simulated IR
brightness temperatures suggest Mindy should become a remnant low in
the day 2-3 period. This remnant low is forecast to open up into a
trough shortly thereafter.

Key Messages:

1. Mindy is expected to produce heavy rainfall from the Florida
Panhandle into southern portions of Georgia and South Carolina
through Thursday morning. This rainfall may produce isolated to
scattered flash, urban, and small stream flooding.

2. Tropical storm conditions are expected through tonight in
portions of the Florida Panhandle where a Tropical Storm Warning is
in effect.
