ZCZC MIATCDEP3 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Storm Gil Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082019 800 PM PDT Sat Aug 03 2019 Gil remains a strongly sheared tropical cyclone, with the estimated low-level center located near the western edge of a ragged-looking convective mass. Based on a Dvorak classification from TAFB, the intensity estimate remains at 35 kt. The shear is being produced by large upper-level trough that lies near and to the north of the storm, and the dynamical guidance indicates that this shear will persist for the next couple of days. This, along with relatively dry mid-tropospheric air of relative humidities near 50 to 60 percent, should cause Gil to weaken and then dissipate within 72 hours. The official intensity forecast is similar to the previous one and close to the model consensus. The motion is estimated to be westward or 280/10 kt. A low- to mid-level ridge should be maintained to the north of the cyclone over the next few days. This flow pattern should cause a continued westward or slightly south of westward track until dissipation. The official track prediction is very close to the previous NHC forecast and also close to the corrected model consensus.
