| #1159170 (Received by flhurricane at: 4:49 PM 27.Oct.2023) TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Tammy Discussion Number 34 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL202023 500 PM AST Fri Oct 27 2023 Tammy`s cloud pattern hasn`t changed much on satellite images since earlier today. There has been some cooling of the convective cloud tops to about -60 deg C near the center of circulation along with a few banding features. There is limited upper-level outflow to the south and east of the system. The current intensity is held at 55 kt in agreement with an objective ADT Dvorak estimate from UW-CIMSS. Tammy is currently situated over SSTs of around 25 deg C in a marginally moist mid-level air mass. The dynamical guidance indicates a significant increase in vertical wind shear during the next day or so. This should cause a gradual weakening trend to commence soon. Later in the forecast period, although the ocean waters under Tammy should get a little warmer, strong shear and substantially drier air should cause continued weakening. The official intensity forecast is above most of the model guidance, so Tammy could weaken to a depression sooner than shown here. Tammy is currently moving slowly northwestward at about 320/3 kt. The cyclone should soon turn to an eastward track and move along the northern side of a subtropical ridge for a couple of days. Later in the forecast period, Tammy is expected to turn southward and move along the eastern side of a mid-level high. The official track forecast lies between the simple and corrected dynamical model consensus solutions.
