ZCZC MIATCDAT2 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM TROPICAL STORM GASTON DISCUSSION NUMBER 45 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL072016 500 PM AST FRI SEP 02 2016 Gaston is practically devoid of deep convection, and it is assumed that a significant spindown has occurred today. Under this assumption, the advisory intensity is set at 45 kt which is in agreement with a Dvorak Current Intensity number from TAFB. Since the cyclone will be moving over the colder waters to the north of the Azores and through an environment of strong shear, the forecast calls for the system to degenerate into a remnant low in 24 hours, and this event may occur even sooner than that. Microwave and geostationary satellite fixes, along with observations from Flores in the Azores, indicate that the motion is around 070/15 kt. Gaston should curve gradually toward the northeast, ahead of a broad trough in the mid-latitude westerlies, until dissipation. The official track forecast is very close to the dynamical model consensus.
