#1106194 (Received by flhurricane at: 4:48 PM 07.Sep.2022) TCDAT5 Hurricane Danielle Discussion Number 27 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052022 900 PM GMT Wed Sep 07 2022 Danielle has generally changed little since this morning and it remains an impressive hurricane for being at a relatively high latitude of around 45 N. The system continues to have a large eye with a fairly symmetric convective pattern surrounding it. The Dvorak estimates at 18Z range from 65 to 77 kt, and on this basis, the initial intensity is held at 70 kt. A mid-to upper-level trough is quickly approaching Danielle, and it should cause an increase in shear soon. The higher shear, interaction with the trough, and sharply cooler SSTs along the predicted track should cause Danielle to complete extratropical transition on Thursday and cause the cyclone to gradually decay. The intensity models are in good agreement, and the NHC intensity forecast is just an update of the previous one. Danielle is moving northeastward at 14 kt, which is the fastest this system has moved in quite some time. This general motion should continue through tonight, however, a slow down and counterclockwise loop is expected to occur on Thursday and Friday when Danielle interacts with the trough that is expected to cut off. After that time, a faster motion to the southeast is forecast, which should take the extratropical cyclone toward western Europe by the end of the period. The NHC track forecast is a little faster than the previous one, trending toward the latest consensus aids. Danielle continues to produce a large area of very rough seas over the central-north Atlantic.
