ZCZC MIATCDEP2 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Storm Barbara Discussion Number 24 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022019 1100 PM HST Fri Jul 05 2019 Barbara currently consists of a swirl of low- to mid-level clouds with isolated convective cells well north of the center. There is a chance that the convection will increase during the next several hours as the normal diurnal convective maximum approaches. However, if this does not happen, the cyclone will likely be declared post-tropical on the next advisory. The initial intensity of 45 kt is based on recent ASCAT data. A combination of cool sea surface temperatures, strong shear, and mid-level dry air should cause Barbara to steadily weaken. The new intensity forecast is similar to the previous forecast in calling for winds to drop below tropical-storm force after 12 h, and for the system to weaken to a trough after 48 h. The initial motion is now 270/13. A low-level ridge to the north of the cyclone will keep it moving generally westward with a slight increase in speed for the next few days until Barbara dissipates. The track guidance has shifted a little south since the last advisory, so the new forecast track was nudged southward in response.
