137 WTPZ43 KNHC 300847 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Georgette Discussion Number 12 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082022 200 AM PDT Sat Jul 30 2022 Georgette continues to be affected by northeasterly vertical shear that is displacing much of its deep convection to the southwest of the estimated center. Based on a blend of subjective and objective Dvorak estimates from SAB, TAFB, and UW-CIMSS, the advisory intensity remains at 45 kt. The tropical cyclone has continued on its west-southwestward track and is moving at about 255/9 kt. A mid-level ridge just to the west of Hurricane Frank should continue to steer Georgette on a west-southwestward to westward course for the next day or so. Thereafter, the system should become situated in a region of weak steering currents between the ridge and broad southwesterly flow to the south and southwest of Frank. This will likely cause Georgette to move slowly and erratically during the next 2-3 days. By 72 hours, the weakening cyclone is expected to begin moving northeastward within the southwesterly low- to mid-level flow. Most of the track guidance has shifted westward in comparison to the earlier model runs, and the official forecast is somewhat west of the previous NHC prediction beyond 36 hours, but not quite as far west as the latest model consensus. East-northeasterly shear is forecast to prevail over Georgette during the next few days, and the low- to mid-level environment is expected to remain rather dry. This, along with an increasing lack of low-level inflow due to the influence of Franks's circulation, should result in gradual weakening. The official forecast is similar to the previous one and closely follows the latest HFIP Corrected Consensus Approach, HCCA, intensity guidance.
