TROPICAL STORM GAMMA DISCUSSION NUMBER 16
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
4 PM EST SAT NOV 19 2005
VISIBLE IMAGERY AND REPORTS FROM AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE
HUNTER AIRCRAFT INDICATE THAT THE CENTER OF GAMMA IS 30 N MI OR
MORE SOUTHEAST OF THE LOCATION OF THE PREVIOUS TWO ADVISORIES.
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE CENTER IS EXPOSED TO THE SOUTH OF
THE MAIN CONVECTIVE MASS...WHICH APPEARS RAGGED AND DISORGANIZED.
HOWEVER...THE HURRICANE HUNTER REPORTED A CENTRAL PRESSURE OF 1004
MB AND FLIGHT LEVEL WINDS OF 49 KT AT 1500 FT 25-30 N MI NORTHWEST
OF THE CENTER. BASED ON THE AIRCRAFT DATA...THE INITIAL INTENSITY
REMAINS 40 KT.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS A VERY UNCERTAIN 360/2 BASED ON 24 HR OF
MOTION. HOWEVER...THE LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SUGGESTS A
SHORT-TERM EASTWARD DRIFT. GAMMA IS CURRENTLY IN AN AREA OF WEAK
STEERING CURRENT SOUTH OF A LOW-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO
AND BETWEEN SEGMENTS OF A MID-LEVEL RIDGE. THE LARGE-SCALE MODELS
CONTINUE TO FORECAST THE RIDGES TO BREAK DOWN AS A DEEP-LAYER
TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AND
ADJACENT WATERS DURING THE NEXT 2-3 DAYS. THIS DEVELOPMENT SHOULD
TURN GAMMA MORE NORTHEASTWARD WITH TIME. THE GFDL CONTINUES TO
BRING A STRONGER GAMMA TO THE NORTH OF THE OTHER MODELS...ALTHOUGH
IT HAS SHIFTED SOUTHWARD ON ITS LATEST RUN. THE GFS AND UKMET CALL
FOR A MORE EASTWARD MOTION ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN. DUE
TO THE MODEL TRENDS ALONG WITH THE CURRENT POSITION AND MOTION...
THE NEW FORECAST TRACK HAS CHANGED CONSIDERABLY FROM THE PREVIOUS
TRACK...CALLING FOR GAMMA TO MOVE GENERALLY NORTHWARD FOR 24-36 HR
FOLLOWED BY A TURN TOWARD THE NORTHEAST WITH SOME ACCELERATION
TOWARD CENTRAL CUBA. THIS TRACK IS WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE PREVIOUS
TRACK...AND CALLS FOR LESS ACCELERATION AFTER 36 HR. THIS IS STILL
A SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN FORECAST...AND ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THE TRACK
COULD OCCUR TONIGHT BASED ON DATA FROM THE FLIGHT OF THE NOAA G4
JET CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.
ANALYSES FROM CIMSS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN SHOWS 20-30 KT OF
SOUTHWESTERLY VERTICAL SHEAR OVER GAMMA. EVEN WITH A MORE
SOUTHERLY FORECAST TRACK THAN 6 HR AGO...THE LARGE-SCALE MODELS
CONTINUE TO FORECAST THE SHEAR TO INCREASE...WHICH WILL ALLOW
LITTLE IF ANY STRENGTHENING. ALSO...REGARDLESS OF THE EXACT
TRACK...THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE BAROCLINIC LOW WILL BE
STRONG ENOUGH TO SWEEP WELL INTO THE CARIBBEAN AND CATCH GAMMA.
BASED ON THESE TWO PREMISES...THE INTENSITY FORECAST WILL HOLD THE
INTENSITY AT 40 KT UNTIL 72 HR...WHEN GAMMA SHOULD BE MERGING WITH
THE FRONT. THE BAROCLINIC LOW SHOULD ABSORB GAMMA BY 96 HR. AN
ALTERNATIVE SCENARIO IS THAT THE SHEAR COULD WEAKEN GAMMA EVEN
BEFORE THE FRONT CATCHES IT.

GAMMA IS DRIFTING ERRATICALLY NORTHWARD. A SLOW MOTION TOWARD THE
NORTH IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
REPORTS FROM AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT
INDICATE THAT MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 45 MPH...
75 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS NOW APPEAR
UNFAVORABLE FOR STRENGTHENING...AND LITTLE CHANGE IN STRENGTH IS
FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 105 MILES...165 KM
TO THE NORTH OF THE CENTER. SOME GUSTS TO TROPICAL STORM-FORCE MAY
OCCUR OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF NORTHERN HONDURAS TO THE SOUTH
OF THE CENTER.
THE LATEST MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE REPORTED BY THE HURRICANE HUNTER
IS 1004 MB...29.65 INCHES.
TROPICAL STORM GAMMA IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TOTAL RAINFALL
ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 10 INCHES ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL CUBA...
WITH ISOLATED MAXIMUM AMOUNTS OF 15 INCHES POSSIBLE. RAINFALL
ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE CAYMAN ISLANDS.
RAIN BANDS SOUTH OF GAMMA COULD CAUSE RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 2

TROPICAL STORM GAMMA DISCUSSION NUMBER 17
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
10 PM EST SAT NOV 19 2005
INTERMITTENT AND SMALL BURSTS OF DEEP CONVECTION HAVE BEEN OCCURRING
MAINLY TO THE NORTH OF THE LOW LEVEL CENTER DURING THE PAST FEW
HOURS. FAIRLY STRONG WIND SHEAR CONTINUES TO DISPLACE THE
CONVECTION AWAY FROM THE CENTER AND PROHIBIT IT FROM PERSISTING.
THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER HAS BECOME MOSTLY OBSCURED IN INFRARED
IMAGERY... BUT ITS ESTIMATED LOCATION RELATIVE TO THE DOWNSHEAR
CONVECTION IS CONSISTENT WITH AN EXTRAPOLATED POSITION BASED ON THE
EARLIER AIRCRAFT POSITIONS. THE MOTION DURING THE PAST FEW
HOURS HAS BEEN NORTHEASTWARD OR ABOUT 050/5... BUT THIS MOTION MIGHT
NOT YET BE DEFINITIVE. A GENERAL NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD MOTION IS
FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO WHILE GAMMA IS WEST OF A
WEAK MID-LEVEL RIDGE AND WHILE THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER IS DRAGGED
ALONG BY THE CONVECTION SHEARED FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST.
THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES IS
FORECAST BY ALL OF THE DYNAMICAL MODELS TO DEEPEN AND MOVE TO THE
SOUTHEAST DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE MODELS ALSO CONTINUE
TO FORECAST THE ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXTRATROPICAL LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN U.S. OR NORTHEASTERN
GULF OF MEXICO WITHIN THE NEXT 36 HOURS OR SO. AS THIS SYSTEM THEN
MOVES UP THE EAST COAST OF THE U.S... A COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE INTO
THE CARIBBEAN SEA IN 2-3 DAYS... WITH GAMMA ADVANCING AHEAD OF THAT
FRONT. SEVERAL OF THE MODELS... INCLUDING THE GFS... GFDL... AND
NOGAPS... FORECAST GAMMA TO MEANDER NORTHWESTWARD UNTIL THE FRONT
ARRIVES IN THE CARIBBEAN... AND THEN CALL FOR A MUCH WEAKER OR
POSSIBLY DISSIPATING GAMMA TO MOVE EASTWARD TO THE SOUTH OF CUBA.
ONE PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS IS THAT THEY DO NOT INITIALIZE THE
POSITION OR NORTHEASTWARD MOTION OF GAMMA VERY WELL... SO THEIR
EVENTUAL THEIR TRACKS TO THE EAST COULD BE TOO SLOW. THE OFFICIAL
TRACK FORECAST IS EAST OF MOST OF THE MODELS DURING THE FIRST 36
HOURS... BUT THEREAFTER IT GENERALLY FOLLOWS THE MODEL TRENDS IN
ANTICIPATING A WEAKENING GAMMA TO MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN
CUBA AHEAD OF THE FRONT THAT PROBABLY WILL EVENTUALLY ABSORB IT.
NO FURTHER STRENGTHENING OF GAMMA IS FORECAST... SINCE THE WIND
SHEAR IS ONLY EXPECTED TO INCREASE OVER THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN AS
THE MID-LATITUDE TROUGH PROCEEDS TOWARD THE EASTERN U.S. AND THE
GULF OF MEXICO DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE SHIPS GUIDANCE
FORECASTS STEADY WEAKENING... ONLY HOLDING ON TO TROPICAL STORM
STRENGTH FOR ABOUT 24 MORE HOURS. THE GFDL FORECAST OF
INTENSIFICATION TO ABOUT 60 KT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS IS
DISCOUNTED DUE TO THE ESTABLISHED TRACK RECORD OF THAT MODEL
OVER-INTENSIFYING SYSTEMS IN A STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. THE
NEW OFFICIAL FORECAST DOES NOT QUITE SHOW THE RATE OF WEAKENING
THAT THE SHIPS GUIDANCE DOES... BUT IT IS A DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT
COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY. GAMMA COULD WEAKEN FASTER THAN
FORECAST AND PERHAPS DISSIPATE BEFORE IT EVER BECOMES ENTANGLED
WITH THE COLD FRONT.

TROPICAL STORM GAMMA DISCUSSION NUMBER 18
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
4 AM EST SUN NOV 20 2005
EARLIER DEEP CONVECTIVE BURSTS NEAR AND TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE
CENTER HAVE WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
HIGHEST 1500 FT FLIGHT-LEVEL WINDS INDICATED BY AN AIR FORCE
RESERVE RECON AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN 37 KT IN A FEW SPOTS JUST NORTH AND
NORTHEAST OF THE CENTER... WHICH DOES NOT SUPPORT TROPICAL STORM
STATUS. AT BEST...GRADIENT WIND COMPUTATIONS SUPPORT BORDERLINE
TROPICAL STORM-FORCE WINDS SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE.
SINCE WHAT CONVECTION REMAINS IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE FLIGHT LEGS IN
THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT... GAMMA IS BEING KEPT A TROPICAL STORM BUT
THE WINDS HAVE BEEN LOWERED TO 35 KT... WHICH MAY BE GENEROUS.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS 360/02...BASED ON A 12-HOUR MOTION. THE LAST
SEVERAL RECON POSITONS INDICATE GAMMA HAS ONLY DRIFTED SLOWLY
NORTHWARD. UPPER-AIR DATA AT 00Z ALONG WITH DROPSONDE DATA FROM THE
NOAA G-IV JET AIRCRAFT SHOW A WEAKNESS OVER WESTERN CUBA AND THE
YUCATAN CHANNEL STILL EXISTS WITHIN THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE LOCATED TO
THE NORTH... BUT THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE HAS REMAINED INTACT. MODERATE
TO STRONG SOUTHERLY UPPER-LEVEL WIND FLOW HAS HELPED TO MAINTAIN A
SHEARING PATTERN ACROSS GAMMA. THE RESULT IS THAT THE CYCLONE NOW
APPEARS TO BE VERTICALLY LESS DEEP THAN THIS TIME YESTERDAY... AND
THE SYSTEM MAY NOT EVEN BE AROUND AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE IN 48 HOURS
ACCORDING TO THE SHIPS MODEL. THE VARIOUS NHC TRACK MODELS MOVE A
WEAKENING GAMMA EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TO SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD... WITH SEVERAL OF THE MODELS FORECASTING
DISSIPATION OR ABSORPTION BY 96 HOURS AS A STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHES
INTO THE CARIBBEAN SEA. THE OFFICIAL TRACK WAS SHIFTED WELL SOUTH
OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK AND AGREES WITH THE CONSENSUS OF THE GLOBAL
MODELS WITH EITHER DISSIPATION OR ABSORPTION OCCURRING BY 72-96
HOURS OVER THE WEST-CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA.
ADDITONAL STRENGTHENING APPEARS UNLIKELY DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL
SHEAR AND MID-LEVEL DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT FROM THE SOUTH.

THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT... GAMMA IS BEING KEPT A TROPICAL STORM BUT
THE WINDS HAVE BEEN LOWERED TO 35 KT... WHICH MAY BE GENEROUS.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS 360/02...BASED ON A 12-HOUR MOTION. THE LAST
SEVERAL RECON POSITONS INDICATE GAMMA HAS ONLY DRIFTED SLOWLY
NORTHWARD. UPPER-AIR DATA AT 00Z ALONG WITH DROPSONDE DATA FROM THE
NOAA G-IV JET AIRCRAFT SHOW A WEAKNESS OVER WESTERN CUBA AND THE
YUCATAN CHANNEL STILL EXISTS WITHIN THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE LOCATED TO
THE NORTH... BUT THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE HAS REMAINED INTACT. MODERATE
TO STRONG SOUTHERLY UPPER-LEVEL WIND FLOW HAS HELPED TO MAINTAIN A
SHEARING PATTERN ACROSS GAMMA. THE RESULT IS THAT THE CYCLONE NOW
APPEARS TO BE VERTICALLY LESS DEEP THAN THIS TIME YESTERDAY... AND
THE SYSTEM MAY NOT EVEN BE AROUND AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE IN 48 HOURS
ACCORDING TO THE SHIPS MODEL. THE VARIOUS NHC TRACK MODELS MOVE A
WEAKENING GAMMA EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TO SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD... WITH SEVERAL OF THE MODELS FORECASTING
DISSIPATION OR ABSORPTION BY 96 HOURS AS A STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHES
INTO THE CARIBBEAN SEA. THE OFFICIAL TRACK WAS SHIFTED WELL SOUTH
OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK AND AGREES WITH THE CONSENSUS OF THE GLOBAL
MODELS WITH EITHER DISSIPATION OR ABSORPTION OCCURRING BY 72-96
HOURS OVER THE WEST-CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA.
ADDITONAL STRENGTHENING APPEARS UNLIKELY DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL
SHEAR AND MID-LEVEL DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT FROM THE SOUTH.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION GAMMA DISCUSSION NUMBER 19
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
10 AM EST SUN NOV 20 2005
CONVECTION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY WANED DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS WITH THE
CLOSEST DEEP CONVECTION LOCATED A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES TO THE
NORTHEAST OF THE NOW FULLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CENTER. ANOTHER WEAK
BAND OF CONVECTION HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED SOUTHEAST OF THE CENTER
ALONG THE HONDURAS COAST... BUT IT IS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS AT THIS
TIME OF TRYING TO WRAP INTO THE CENTER. SATELLITE ESTIMATES HAVE
DECREASED ACCORDINGLY... SO THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET TO 30 KT
...BASED MAINLY ON THE TIGHT SWIRL NOTED IN THE LOW-LEVEL CLOUDS.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS 325/03... ALTHOUGH GAMMA APPEARS TO BE MAKING
A SMALL COUNTER-CLOCKWISE LOOP. UPPER-AIR DATA AT 12Z INDICATE
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE OVERALL STEERING FLOW PATTERN... EXCEPT THAT
THE BREAK IN THE 500 MB RIDGE TO THE NORTH HAS FILLED IN. THIS
SHOULD HELP TO KEEP GAMMA TRAPPED IN THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN FOR
THE NEXT FEW DAYS UNTIL A STRONG COLD FRONT CAPTURES THE CYCLONE BY
72 HOURS. THE NOGAPS...GFDN... AND COAMPS MODELS MAINTAIN A DEEPER
AND STRONGER CIRCULATION THAN DO THE REST OF THE NHC MODELS...WHICH
SEEMS UNREASONABLE BASED ON THE 12Z BELIZE SOUNDING. IN CONTRAST...
THE GFS AND GFS ENSEMBLE MODELS WEAKEN GAMMA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS AND DRIFT IT AROUND WITHIN 90 NMI OF ITS CURRENT LOCATION.
THE REMAINING MODELS ALSO WEAKEN THE CYCLONE AND DRIFT IT SLOWLY
EAST OR SOUTHEASTWARD. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK IS SIMILAR TO
THE PREVIOUS TRACK AND LEANS CLOSELY TOWARD THE GFS MODELS... WITH
DISSIPATION POSSIBLY OCCURRING WITHIN 24 HOURS OR LESS.
ADDITIONAL WEAKENING APPEARS LIKELY DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL
SHEAR... AND ENTRAINMENT OF DRY MID-LEVEL AIR FROM CENTRAL AMERICA
AS NOTED IN 12Z UPPER-AIR DATA FROM BELIZE. THE SHIPS MODEL
DISSIPATES GAMMA BY 24 HOURS. THIS RAPID DOWNWARD INTENSITY TREND
WAS CLOSELY FOLLOWED... ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE VERY POOR APPEARANCE

TROPICAL DEPRESSION GAMMA DISCUSSION NUMBER 20
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
4 PM EST SUN NOV 20 2005
GAMMA HAS A WELL-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION BUT NO ORGANIZED DEEP
CONVECTION. THE CONVECTION THAT WAS PRESENT THIS MORNING HAS
SHEARED OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. BASED ON THE MOST RECENT QUIKSCAT
PASS...THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ESTIMATED TO BE 30 KT...BUT COULD
BE LESS THAN THAT BY NOW. STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WIND SHEAR
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE CIRCULATION AND PREVENT THE
REDEVELOPMENT OF PERSISTENT CONVECTION. GAMMA IS LIKELY TO
DEGENERATE INTO A REMNANT LOW THIS EVENING...OR ALMOST SURELY BY
TOMORROW.
GAMMA HAS BEEN MEANDERING FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...AS THE CYCLONE
REMAINS TO THE SOUTH OF A WEAK LOW-LEVEL RIDGE...BUT OVER THE PAST
FEW HOURS THE MOTION HAS BEEN 360/2. LITTLE OVERALL MOTION IS
EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO...AFTER WHICH A STRONG COLD FRONT
SWEEPING THROUGH THE GULF AND NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SHOULD TAKE
THE REMNANT CIRCULATION GENERALLY EASTWARD. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST
IS A LITTLE SLOWER TO THE EAST THAN THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY...IN
DEFERENCE TO THE SHALLOW BAM AND GFS MODELS. THE REMNANT
CIRCULATION WILL EITHER BECOME ABSORBED BY THE FRONT OR DISSIPATE
AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION GAMMA DISCUSSION NUMBER 21
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
10 PM EST SUN NOV 20 2005
GAMMA CONTINUES TO HAVE A WELL-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION...BUT
ALSO CONTINUES TO LACK ORGANIZED DEEP CONVECTION. THUS THE SYSTEM
NO LONGER QUALIFIES AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE...AND ADVISORIES ARE
BEING DISCONTINUED AT THIS TIME. STRONG SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR
IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE OVER THE CIRCULATION AND DISCOURAGE THE
REDEVELOPMENT OF PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION NEAR THE CENTER.
ADDITIONALLY...IN 24 HOURS OR SO...A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO
SWEEP INTO THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE
REMNANT LOW OF GAMMA WILL EITHER BECOME ABSORBED BY THIS FRONT OR
DISSIPATE AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
GAMMA HAS BEEN DRIFTING VERY SLOWLY NORTHWARD. THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE
TO THE NORTH OF THE CYCLONE IS DISSIPATING AS THE AFOREMENTIONED
FRONT ENTERS THE PICTURE. AN INCREASING WESTERLY COMPONENT OF
LOW-LEVEL STEERING IS FORECAST...WHICH SHOULD TURN GAMMA'S REMNANTS
NORTHEASTWARD TO EASTWARD UNTIL DISSIPATION.
THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER ON
GAMMA UNLESS REGENERATION...WHICH APPEARS UNLIKELY...OCCURS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE REMNANT LOW OF GAMMA CAN BE FOUND IN
HIGH SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER
AWIPS HEADER NFDHSFAT1 AND WMO HEADER FZNT01 KWBC...AND IN OFFSHORE
