000 WTPZ43 KNHC 270833 TCDEP3 TROPICAL STORM ROSLYN DISCUSSION NUMBER 8 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP182016 200 AM PDT TUE SEP 27 2016 Roslyn's center appears to be losing some definition in infrared satellite imagery, and all of the associated deep convection is displaced to the north and northeast due to strong southwesterly shear. Roslyn fell within the nadir gap of the latest ASCAT passes, but the initial intensity is set at 40 kt based on a gradual lowering of subjective and objective Dvorak estimates. This value is also in accordance with the most recent UW-CIMSS SATCON estimate. Increasing shear, gradually cooling SSTs, and dry mid-level air should induce additional weakening, and deep convection is likely to dissipate within the next day or two. The new NHC intensity forecast shows Roslyn becoming a remnant low in 36 hours, and it is expected to open up into a trough by day 4. The initial motion is now northeastward, or 050/6 kt. Roslyn is expected to turn northward toward a deep-layer low located over the Baja California peninsula during the next 36 hours. It should then turn northwestward and west-northwestward on days 2 and 3 after it has become a remnant low, steered by lower-level ridging. The official track forecast has again been nudged east of the previous advisory toward the latest TVCN multi-model consensus.
