USING A SHEAR PATTERN...THE TAFB DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE INDICATED A 4.0...OR 65 KT.

DANIELLE IS IN THE MIDST OF EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION AND INDEED THE ENVIRONMENT CANADA BUOY 44140 IS HINTING AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST NORTH OF THE CYCLONE. THE VARIOUS GLOBAL MODEL FIELDS ALONG WITH THE USE OF THE FSU CYCLONE PHASE SPACE DIAGRAMS INDICATE THAT DANIELLE SHOULD BECOME FULLY EXTRATROPICAL IN ABOUT 12 HOURS AS THE MAIN BAROCLINIC FORCING ARRIVES THIS EVENING. THE SYSTEM SHOULD REMAIN A LARGE CYCLONE AFTER TRANSITION WITH PEAK INTENSITY JUST BELOW HURRICANE FORCE. THE CYCLONE IS CURRENTLY MOVING NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 14 KT. THE SYSTEM HAS BECOME CAPTURED BY A VIGOROUS SHORT-WAVE TROUGH...WHICH SHOULD ACCELERATE IT TOWARD THE EAST-NORTHEAST FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS. A TURN TO THE NORTH AND THEN NORTHWEST BY DAYS THREE AND FOUR IS ANTICIPATED AS THE SYSTEM BECOMES ABSORBED BY A VERY LARGE EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE BY DAY FIVE. THE OCEAN PREDICTION CENTER PROVIDED POSITION...INTENSITY...AND SIZE GUIDANCE FOR THE EXTRATROPICAL PORTION OF DANIELLE.
