Tropical Depression Fifteen Discussion Number   5

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL152023

1100 AM AST Sat Sep 16 2023


The tropical depression has not changed much this morning. The 

center remains poorly defined, and visible satellite imagery 

indicates a broad region of low- and mid-level rotation persisting 

over a large area. Most of the deep convection is occurring in the 

northern semicircle of the broad circulation. Subjective Dvorak 

estimates from SAB and TAFB were 25 kt and 35 kt, respectively, and 

are similar to the objective Dvorak estimates. Based on the 

disorganized structure and the current intensity estimates, the 

intensity is held at 30 kt for this advisory. A late arriving ASCAT 

pass suggests that this estimate may be a bit generous.  


Since the center of circulation is broad, the initial motion is 

somewhat uncertain and estimated at 330/16 kt. This general motion 

is expected to continue for the next couple days as the depression 

moves along the southern periphery of a mid-level ridge located to 

the northeast of the system. Track guidance, including global and 

regional hurricane models, is in general agreement that the system 

will continue on a northwestward trajectory for the next several 

days. After 72 hours, the track forecast uncertainty increases 

somewhat as the system will begin to interact with a deep-layer 

trough. This trough interaction is expected to induce a more 

poleward shift in the track and eventually recurve the system toward 

the northeast by 120 hours. The NHC track forecast is similar to the 

prior forecast and in agreement with the consensus aids, TVCN and 

HCCA. 


The system is currently in a favorable environment for 

intensification, with low vertical wind shear and warm sea surface 

temperatures expected to persist during the next several days. 

However, the timing of intensification will depend on how quickly 

the system is able to consolidate into a more compact structure. The 

current intensity forecast assumes that it will take 24-36 hours for 

this to happen, with the system expected to become a hurricane in 48 

hours. The current forecast reaches 95 kt by 72 h, although some of 

the regional hurricane models, including HWRF and HMON, indicate a 

more rapid intensification. ECMWF-SHIPS guidance continues to 

indicate a greater than a 40 percent chance of rapid intensification 

in the next 72 hours. By mid-week, as the system recurves to the 

northeast, it is expected to gradually weaken as southwesterly shear 

increases. The NHC forecast is lower than the regional model 

guidance and is similar to both the prior forecast and HCCA.
