TROPICAL STORM LANE DISCUSSION NUMBER 4
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP132024
800 AM PDT SAT NOV 02 2024
LANE HAS CONTINUED TO PRODUCE DEEP CONVECTION THIS MORNING OVER THE
LOW-LEVEL CENTER, WITH COLD CLOUD TOPS NEAR -80 C. OBJECTIVE AND
SUBJECTIVE SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES HAVE INCREASED AND RANGE
FROM 35 TO 45 KT. GIVEN THE CONTINUED DEEP CONVECTION AND USING A
BLEND OF THESE SATELLITE ESTIMATES, THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET TO
40 KT FOR THIS ADVISORY.
LANE CONTINUES TO MOVE WESTWARD AT 270/6 KT, AND THIS GENERAL MOTION
SHOULD CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE STORM IS STEERED BY A
A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH. THE LATEST NHC FORECAST IS VERY
SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE, AND REMAINS NEAR THE LATEST CONSENSUS
AIDS.
WARM SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND A RELATIVE LOW WIND SHEAR
ENVIRONMENT COULD ALLOW LANE TO STRENGTHEN A LITTLE MORE TODAY.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS BECOME LESS FAVORABLE ON SUNDAY AS
SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE OVER THE SYSTEM, AND THE
STORM IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO A DRIER AIRMASS EARLY NEXT WEEK,
WHICH SHOULD CAUSE LANE TO WEAKEN. LANE IS FORECAST TO DEGENERATE TO
A POST-TROPICAL REMNANT LOW IN ABOUT 48 H, ALTHOUGH GIVEN THE SMALL
SIZE OF THE SYSTEM IT COULD DISSIPATE EVEN SOONER THAN FORECAST AS
IS DEPICTED BY SOME MODEL FIELDS, INCLUDING THE GFS.
