Tropical Storm Hernan Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082026
800 AM PDT Thu Aug 13 2026

Convection has increased to the north and east of the center of
Hernan this morning. An earlier GPM microwave pass, which became
available after the previous advisory, suggested that the center was
farther southeast than previously analyzed, and the initial position
for this advisory was adjusted accordingly. In addition, a recent
scatterometer pass indicated peak winds of 37-39 kt in the western
semicircle of the storm. The microwave imagery depicted a compact
center with a well-established band wrapping around the northern and
eastern portions of the circulation. Objective and subjective
intensity estimates range from 28-38 kt. Given the improved
satellite presentation and the scatterometer-derived winds, the
initial intensity has been set at 40 kt for this advisory.

Hernan is drifting slowly southwestward. A slow southwestward to
southward motion is expected over the next 24-36 h as a ridge builds
to the northwest of the storm and Tropical Storm Lala strengthens to
the southwest. The latest NHC track forecast has been nudged
slightly to the left of the previous forecast through 36 h to
account for the adjusted initial position and lies between the
previous forecast and HCCA. Beyond 36 h, Hernan is expected to turn
toward the west-southwest and accelerate. Considerable spread
remains among the track guidance, so confidence in the track
forecast is a little below average.

The storm is currently over warm SSTs of around 27-28 C and within a
moist mid-level airmass. However, it is being impacted by strong
westerly wind shear. Little change in intensity is expected over the
next 12 h or so, followed by gradual weakening as Hernan encounters
increasingly dry mid-level air and decreasing upper-level
divergence. The ECMWF and GFS simulated satellite imagery suggest
that Hernan may struggle to maintain organized convection by Friday,
and the latest forecast calls for the system to degenerate to a
remnant low by 36 h. The post-tropical low is expected to gradually
spin down, open into a trough, and dissipate in a few days.

Tropical Storm Hernan Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082026
200 AM PDT Thu Aug 13 2026

A recent ASCAT pass has shown that the winds have increased on
the western side of the cyclone to around 35 kts. While the most
recent TAFB Dvorak fix has a Final T 2.0 with a max winds of 30
kt. DPRINT has a wind maximum around 39 kt while the ADT and AiDT
are close to 32 and 33 kt respectively. Based on the observations
from the ASCAT, the initial NHC intensity has been set to 35 kt.

The initial motion is estimated to be west, or 270 degrees at 3 kt.
As a trough near the west coast of the U.S. pulls away and some
weak ridging builds back in to the north, the cyclone should
gradually turn toward the southwest as it feels a tug from lower
pressures to the southwest of the system. The current NHC forecast
track is adjusted slightly to the right of the previous track, but
generally still in the middle of the spread in the models and close
to HCCA. However, given that the track guidance still has a large
spread, the track confidence is still a bit below average.

The cyclone is experiencing moderate to strong westerly wind shear,
mainly due to the aforementioned trough to the north and outflow
from Potential Tropical Cyclone One-C. Therefore, at best only
minor additional strengthening appears likely, and the most likely
scenario is that the wind shear will prevent any additional
strengthening. Models forecast the environment to remain
unfavorable and that the storm may well degenerate to a remnant low
within 48 h. Indeed, the GFS and ECMWF simulated satellite imagery
indicate that it could a remnant low sooner than currently
forecast. The remnants should gradually spin down and dissipate in a
few days.

Tropical Depression Eight-E Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082026
800 PM PDT Wed Aug 12 2026

Scatterometer passes over the past day or so have indicated that
Invest 99E has had a closed, well-defined circulation during that
time, including a recent OSCAT pass. Deep convection has pulsed up
and down over the past day, but has recently been persisting
well-enough for the past 6 hours to be classified as a tropical
cyclone. The latest subjective Dvorak fix from TAFB is 1.5/25 kt,
but wind vectors from OSCAT, as well as the ASCAT pass from
yesterday, suggest that it likely has winds near 30 kt, and that is
the initial NHC intensity for this advisory.

The initial motion is estimated to be west-northwestward, or 300
degrees at 6 kt. As a trough near the west coast of the U.S. pulls
away and some weak ridging builds back in to the north, the cyclone
should gradually turn toward the southwest as it feels a tug from
lower pressures toward the southwest of the system. The NHC
forecast lies near, but slightly south of, the latest HFIP corrected
consensus (HCCA) model. The spread in the models is a little
greater than average, so the confidence in the track forecast is a
bit below average.

The cyclone is experiencing moderate to strong westerly wind shear,
mainly due to the aforementioned trough to the north and outflow
from Potential Tropical Cyclone One-C. Therefore, very little
strengthening is likely. The NHC forecast calls for a peak
intensity of 35 kt in 12-24 hours, which is near the high end of the
intensity guidance suite. Thereafter, although shear may decrease
some as that trough pulls away, mid-level humidities are expected to
decrease at the same time, and model guidance suggests there may not
be much left of the cyclone by 48 h. The NHC forecast calls for the
system to become a remnant low in 48 h, but GFS and ECMWF simulated
satellite imagery indicate it could become a remnant low even sooner
than forecast. After that, model guidance shows the system
gradually spinning down and dissipating in about 3 days.
