Tropical Storm Jose Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112023
500 AM AST Fri Sep 01 2023

This morning`s satellite presentation consists of a compact,
symmetric cloud pattern with intermittent deep convective bursts of
convection near the surface center. An earlier AMSR2 microwave
image revealed evidence of a small eye-like mid-level feature.
Based on the much-improved structure, particularly in the microwave
images, this advisory`s initial intensity is raised to 50 kt, but
it could be stronger. The intensity philosophy remains unchanged.
Increasing northerly shear associated with Hurricane Franklin`s
outflow should weaken the cyclone. By early Saturday, Jose
is forecast to become absorbed by Franklin and an intruding
mid-latitude baroclinic system.

Jose`s initial motion is estimated to be northward, or 005/16 kt.
The small cyclone is being steered by the mid-tropospheric flow
produced by a high pressure to the east over the central Atlantic
and larger Hurricane Franklin approaching from the northwest. Jose
is expected to accelerate northward through dissipation while the
deep-layer southerly steering flow strengthens. The deterministic
guidance agrees with this solution, and the NHC forecast lies
close to the HFIP corrected consensus aid.
