ZCZC MIATCDAT4 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Depression Chantal Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042019 1100 PM AST Thu Aug 22 2019 Chantal continues to survive the harsh thermodynamic and shear environment of the central Atlantic by producing intermittent small bursts of deep convection well to the east of the exposed surface center. No changes to the subjective satellite intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB this evening, and the initial intensity is once again held at 30 kt. Large-scale sinking air with low to mid-level associated relative humidities less than 40 percent along with increasing west-southwesterly vertical shear are expected to weaken Chantal to a remnant low by Saturday, and dissipate in less than 3 days. The initial motion is estimated to be southeastward, or 135/6 kt, around the northeastern periphery of a subtropical ridge over the central Atlantic. The global and ensemble guidance continue to show an anti-cyclonic motion at a slower forward speed before the system dissipates over the weekend. The new NHC forecast follows suit and is based on a compromise of the NOAA HCCA model and the simple TVCA multi-model consensus.
