ZCZC MIATCDEP5 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Storm Irwin Discussion Number 38 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102017 200 PM PDT Mon Jul 31 2017 The deep convection associated with Irwin has been decreasing throughout the day, and it is currently limited to a fairly small area near and to the east of the center. The Dvorak classifications have decreased, and an average of the latest intensity estimates from TAFB, SAB, and ADT values from CIMSS at the University of Wisconsin support lowering the initial wind speed to 40 kt. Satellite data show that dry and stable air is wrapping into the circulation. This stable air mass combined with cool SSTs should lead to additional weakening, and Irwin will likely become a remnant low tonight or on Tuesday. The remnant low is expected to continue to spin down, and ultimately dissipate in 2 to 3 days. The NHC intensity forecast is an update of the previous one, and it follows the trend of the guidance. Irwin continues to move north-northwestward on the west side of a mid-level high following the path of Post-Tropical Cyclone Hilary. This motion is expected to continue for about another day. Thereafter, a decrease in forward speed and a slight turn to the northwest is predicted as the shallow remnant low moves in the low-level flow. The NHC track forecast is a little slower than the previous one to come into better agreement with the latest consensus models.
