ZCZC MIATCDEP1 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM TROPICAL STORM ORLENE DISCUSSION NUMBER 23 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP162016 800 AM PDT FRI SEP 16 2016 Convection associated with Orlene has decreased significantly during the past six hours, with only a small area of shower activity remaining southwest of the center. The initial intensity is reduced to 40 kt based on various satellite intensity estimates and continuity from the previous advisory. A combination of marginal sea surface temperatures and entrainment of very dry air should cause continued weakening through the forecast period even though Orlene is in a light vertical shear environment. The intensity forecast calls for the cyclone to weaken to a tropical depression in about 24 hours and degenerate to a remnant low in about 48 hours. If the convection does not return, both of these events could happen earlier. The initial motion is 270/10. A low- to mid-level ridge to the north of Orlene should steer it generally westward for 72 hours or so, followed by a northwestward motion as the remnants approach a weakness in the ridge. The new forecast track is similar to the previous track and close to the tightly clustered dynamical and consensus models.
