真不知道它轉化後到底有多強，還有會為英國、冰島及北歐帶來多大的氣候變化，記得去年1420鸚鵡轉化後有920hPa強度，因為是在海上沒有多大的影響:P:P:loveliness:

:o這隻颶風的結構並不差只可惜現在北半球正在進入冬季了，目前的大氣環境不利於它維持熱帶氣旋的特性加上那邊冬天鋒面低壓很旺盛就造就了它將被牽引北上轉化的命運。

HURRICANE KATE DISCUSSION NUMBER  10
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       AL122015
500 AM AST WED NOV 11 2015

The overall structure of Kate has again not changed much in
conventional satellite imagery since the previous advisory, with the
center in an area of strong convection.  However, a just received
AMSR microwave overpass shows that the convective banding has become
better defined near the center.  Based on this and satellite
intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB of 65 kt, Kate is upgraded to
a hurricane.

The initial motion is 055/35.  Kate is now embedded in the
westerlies between the subtropical ridge and a baroclinic low near
New England.  The tropical cyclone should continue a general
east-northeastward motion across the North Atlantic for the next
several days.  However, a decrease in forward speed and some
erratic motion are expected around 36-48 hours as Kate interacts
with, and eventually absorbs, the baroclinic low.  Despite the
complexity added by the merger, the track guidance is in excellent
agreement with only a small spread in direction and speed.  The new
forecast track is a little north of the previous track and lies
near the various consensus models.

A combination of increasing shear and decreasing sea surface
temperatures should prevent any additional intensification.  Kate
should begin extratropical transition in 12-24 hours and complete it
by 36 hours as the cyclone absorbs the baroclinic low.  The
resulting extratropical low is forecast to be absorbed by a front
over the north Atlantic in 4 to 5 days.

The extratropical portion of Kate's forecast was coordinated with
the NOAA Ocean Prediction Center.

TROPICAL STORM KATE DISCUSSION NUMBER   7
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       AL122015
1000 AM EST TUE NOV 10 2015

Data from both NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft
investigating Kate this morning indicate that the storm has
continued to strengthen. The initial intensity is set to 60 kt based
on a peak SFMR wind of 61 kt from the Air Force aircraft. Given the
latest dropsonde data, the central pressure is estimated at 999 mb.
Kate's center continues to be embedded within a small CDO feature,
with aircraft data indicating some tilt to the circulation,
consistent with 15 to 20 kt of southwesterly shear analyzed over
the cyclone.

Despite increasing shear and cooling SSTs along the track, all of
the guidance continues to suggest that Kate will strengthen during
the next 24-36 hours, likely due in part to very cold temperatures
aloft. The NHC forecast follows this trend, and is above the
guidance in the short range given the initial intensity, and shows
Kate peaking at 70 kt in 24 to 36 hours. As the shear increases to
over 40 kt, Kate should lose tropical characteristics by 48 hours
and then weaken as it becomes fully extratropical by 72 hours. The
official forecast carries Kate as the dominant feature through 5
days as it interacts with another extratropical low over the north
Atlantic.

Kate continues to accelerate, with an initial motion estimate of
035/18. A further acceleration toward the east-northeast is
forecast during the next 24 to 36 hours as Kate becomes fully
embedded in the mid-latitude westerlies. A slowing of the forward
speed is expected in 48 to 72 hours while Kate interacts with an
upper-level trough during extratropical transition, followed by a
faster northwestward motion over the north Atlantic at the end of
the forecast period. The new NHC track forecast is largely an update
of the previous one. This forecast is close to the latest GFS track
through 48 hours and a little to the north of that model afterward.

The extratropical portion of Kate's forecast was coordinated with
the NOAA Ocean Prediction Center.
