000 WTPZ43 KNHC 101434 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Cosme Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032025 800 AM MST Tue Jun 10 2025 Moderate northeasterly shear appears to be displacing Cosme's deep convection to the southwestern quadrant of the circulation. Subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates have begun to decrease, and a blend of these data support an initial intensity of 55 kt. The shear affecting the cyclone is not expected to abate during the next 24 hours, and with Cosme already seeming to be ingesting more stable air, continued weakening is likely over the next day or two. In fact, simulated satellite imagery from the GFS, ECMWF, and high-resolution hurricane models all suggest that Cosme's deep convection could dissipate by tonight, and the NHC forecast therefore shows the cyclone becoming post-tropical in 24 hours. After that time, continued weakening is forecast while the remnant low moves over colder waters, and dissipation is expected by Friday. Due to its position to the southwest of Barbara, Cosme's motion has slowed down considerably, and it is estimated to be moving toward the northwest (325 deg) at about 3 kt. While the interaction with Barbara continues, Cosme is expected to turn toward the north and north-northeast and accelerate a bit over the next day or two. The new NHC forecast is not too different from the previous prediction, and perhaps shows more of a bend back to the northwest around 60 hours, following the latest consensus aids.
