Tropical Storm Epsilon Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL272020
1100 AM AST Mon Oct 19 2020
Although the center of the system has become exposed over the past
few hours, it is very well defined. In addition, the convective
banding over the northern and eastern portions of the circulation
has continued to improve. Based on a Dvorak classification of T2.5
from TAFB, the system is upgraded to a 35-kt tropical storm. ASCAT-A
has missed the circulation, but ASCAT-B caught the far eastern edge
of the wind field and indicates winds of 30-35 kt in that area. The
tropical storm is located within an environment of moderate
southwesterly to westerly vertical wind shear and over warm waters.
These conditions should allow for gradual strengthening over the
next day or so. By 48 hours, decreasing vertical wind shear could
allow for more significant intensification, and there is increasing
spread in the intensity guidance by that time. The statistical
guidance is at the upper-end of the envelope while the regional
hurricane models are lower. The NHC forecast is a bit on the
conservative side for now, and lies just above the intensity
consensus aids. Given the expected decrease in shear, some upward
adjustment in the intensity forecast may be required in subsequent
advisories.
Epsilon is meandering over the central Atlantic as it is located
within an area of weak steering currents near the base of a mid- to
upper-level trough that extends southwestward from the northeastern
Atlantic. A mid- to upper-level ridge is forecast to build over the
western and central Atlantic to the north of the system by midweek,
and this ridge should slide eastward later in the week. These
changes in the synoptic pattern should cause Epsilon to begin moving
west-northwestward to northwestward at a faster rate of speed by
midweek. The models are again in fairly good agreement and the NHC
track is near the center of the guidance envelope.
Key Message:
1. Epsilon is forecast to be at or near hurricane strength when
it approaches Bermuda late this week. While it is too soon to
determine the exact details of Epsilon's track and intensity near
the island, there is a risk of direct impacts from wind, rainfall,
and storm surge on Bermuda, and interests there should closely
monitor the progress of Epsilon.
