TROPICAL STORM IVETTE DISCUSSION NUMBER 19
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP102016
200 AM PDT SUN AUG 07 2016
Convection has redeveloped on the northern side of Ivette, although
the center remains partially exposed. An ASCAT-A pass at 6Z
revealed maximum winds of 35-40 kt, and since thunderstorm activity
has increased markedly since that time, the initial wind speed is
kept at 40 kt. Ivette is forecast to gradually spin down over the
next few days due to cooling waters, strong shear and entrainment of
dry air aloft. A strong surface high over the central Pacific
should cause an enhanced gradient on the northern side of Ivette,
similar to Howard's synoptic situation last week. Thus, Ivette will
probably have an extended weakening phase, and the official forecast
reflects this situation, ending up a little higher than the previous
advisory at day 2 and 3. The global models continue to show the
system opening up into a trough by day 4.
The storm remains on track and is moving 290/10 kt. Ivette should
gradually turn westward and west-southwestward over the next few
days as it becomes a shallow remnant low. No significant changes
were made to the previous forecast, and the new NHC track
prediction continues to be positioned only a small distance south
of the model consensus.
