| #50206 (Received by flhurricane at: 4:49 PM 05.Oct.2005) TCDAT1 TROPICAL STORM TAMMY DISCUSSION NUMBER 3 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 5 PM EDT WED OCT 05 2005 THE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATING TAMMY FOUND PEAK FLIGHT LEVEL WINDS OF 53 KT ABOUT 150 NM NORTHEAST OF THE CENTER. THESE DATA SUPPORT A SURFACE ESTIMATE OF 45 KT. THE CREW MADE VISUAL ESTIMATES OF 50 TO 55 KT IN A FEW SPOTS SO THE ADVISORY ESTIMATE COULD BE A SHADE LOW. SINCE THE CENTER IS ONLY A FEW HOURS FROM LANDFALL...LITTLE ADDITIONAL INCREASE IN STRENGTH IS LIKELY. HOWEVER...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS BEING WELL-REMOVED FROM THE CENTER...ONLY A SLOW DECREASE IN STRENGTH IS LIKELY AFTER THE CENTER MOVES INLAND. THE CENTER MAKE A JAB AT THE COASTLINE LATE THIS MORNING BUT THEN RETURNED TO ITS PREVIOUS TRACK...AND THE INITIAL MOTION IS 330/12. TAMMY REMAINS LOCATED BETWEEN A MID- TO UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND A DEEP-LAYER RIDGE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES. THIS SYNOPTIC PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO TURN TAMMY TO THE NORTHWEST OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS OR SO...AND THE CIRCULATION IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE AFTER ABOUT 24 HOURS.
