| #1150760 (Received by flhurricane at: 5:00 AM 01.Sep.2023) TCDAT1 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.
