ZCZC MIATCDEP3 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Storm Celia Discussion Number 46 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032022 800 PM PDT Mon Jun 27 2022 Celia's satellite appearance has changed little during the past several hours. Its center was partially exposed in the last visible satellite images of the day, but it appears the center has moved a bit closer to a curved band of convection that wraps around the northwestern portion of its circulation. Based on earlier scatterometer data and consensus T2.5/35 kt Dvorak classifications from SAB and TAFB, the initial intensity remains 35 kt. The cyclone remains on a west-northwestward heading (290/9 kt). A steering ridge to the north of Celia should keep the cyclone moving west-northwestward for the next couple of days. The track guidance remains tightly clustered, and the official NHC forecast is very close to the previous one. This forecast track brings Celia into a more stable environment and over cooler waters, which will cause the cyclone to struggle to maintain its convective organization. Model-simulated satellite imagery suggests Celia will lose all convection within the next 12-24 h, and the official NHC forecast calls for degeneration into a post-tropical remnant low by late Tuesday and continued weakening through midweek. The remnant low should open into a trough and dissipate by early Thursday.
