Hurricane Ivan Advisory Number 23
Statement as of 11:00 PM AST on September 07, 2004
...Extremely dangerous Ivan moving westward through the southeastern
Caribbean...new hurricane warnings issued...
at 11 PM AST...0300z...the government of the Dutch Netherland
Antilles has issued a Hurricane Warning for Aruba...Bonaire...and
Curacao. A Hurricane Warning remains in effect for St. Vincent...
The Grenadines...and Grenada and its dependencies.
A Hurricane Watch and a Tropical Storm Warning remain in effect for
the guajira peninsula of Colombia...and for the entire northern
coast of Venezuela.
At 8 PM AST...0000z...the government of Trinidad and Tobago have
discontinued the Tropical Storm Warning for Trinidad and Tobago.
At 11 PM AST...0300z...the government of St. Lucia has discontinued
the Tropical Storm Warning for St. Lucia.
A tropical storm watch may be required for portions of the Dominican
Republic and Haiti on Wednesday.
Interests elsewhere in the Lesser Antilles and the eastern and
central Caribbean Sea should closely monitor the progress of Ivan.
At 11 PM AST...0300z...the center of Hurricane Ivan was located near
latitude 12.1 north...longitude 63.3 west or about 110 miles...
175 km...west of Grenada. This position is also about 335 miles...
540 km...east of Bonaire.
Ivan is moving toward the west near 17 mph...28 km/hr. A gradual
turn toward the west-northwest is expected during the next 24
hours. This motion should bring the center of Ivan north of
Aruba...Bonaire...and Curacao on Wednesday. However...any
deviation to the left of the forecast track could bring the center
close to those islands.
Maximum sustained winds are near 135 mph...215 km/hr...with higher
gusts. This makes Ivan an extremely dangerous category 4 hurricane
on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. Strengthening is forecast
during the next 24 hours.
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 70 miles...110 km...
from the center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up
to 160 miles...260 km.
Estimated minimum central pressure is 950 mb...28.05 inches.
Storm surge flooding of 3 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...
along with large and dangerous battering waves...can be expected
near the center of Ivan in the Hurricane Warning area.
Rainfall amounts of 5 to 7 inches...possibly causing flash floods
and mud slides...can be expected along the path of Ivan..
repeating the 11 PM AST position...12.1 N... 63.3 W. Movement
toward...west near 17 mph. Maximum sustained
winds...135 mph. Minimum central pressure... 950 mb.
For storm information specific to your area...please monitor
products issued by your local weather office.
An intermediate advisory will be issued by the National
Hurricane Center at 2 am AST followed by the next
complete advisory at 5 am AST.

Hurricane Ivan Discussion Number 23
Statement as of 11:00 PM EDT on September 07, 2004
Ivan has continued to strengthen during the evening. The last pass
of an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter through the eye showed a
central pressure near 950 mb and maximum flight-level winds of 129
kt at 700 mb. The initial intensity is set to 115 kt based on the
flight-level winds and satellite intensity estimates of 115 kt from
all agencies. It should be noted that the satellite signature of
Ivan has improved since 00z and the initial intensity may be
conservative. The next aircraft is scheduled to arrive in Ivan
around 06z.
The initial motion is 280/15. Ivan remains on the south side of a
strong subtropical ridge over the western Atlantic. Large-scale
models forecast this ridge to slowly weaken as a mid/upper-level
trough approaches it from the northwest and as an upper-level low
develops to the east. Water vapor imagery also indicates an
upper-level low over the central and western Caribbean...but this
seeems to be retreating westward as fast or faster than the
hurricane. The synoptic pattern should produce a westward to
west-northwestward motion for the next 72 hr or so...followed by a
more northwestward motion at a slower forward speed thereafter.
Unfortunately...model guidance is not very consistent from run to
run at the moment. The GFS made a huge shift to the right...from
passing west of Florida to passing 200 nm east of Florida. The
GFDL also shifted to the right...but from a left outlier into the
middle of the guidance envelope. The official forecast also
shifts...a little to the south early in the forecast to allow for
the current position and motion and a little to the right later in
the forecast period. It is in best agreement with the NOGAPS.
Upper-level winds are forecast to be generally favorable for
development through the forecast period...so the intensity of Ivan
will be mainly controlled by concentric eyewall cycles...changes in
sea surface temperature...and land interaction. An SSM/I overpass
at 0105z showed an outer eyewall starting to form...which suggest
the current intensification cycle will stop in 6-12 hr. However...
by that time Ivan may be stronger than currently forecast. The
hurricane will pass over some slightly cooler sea surface
temperatures through 48 hr...then reach warmer water northwest of
Jamaica after 72 hr. Regardless of the exact ups and Downs in the
intensity...Ivan is expected to remain a strong hurricane through
the forecast period...most likely category 4 but possibly reaching
category 5 at some points.
Hurricane warnings have been issued for Aruba...Bonaire...and
Curacao...as any motion south of the forecast track could bring
hurricane force winds near or over those islands.
