Post-Tropical Cyclone Margot Discussion Number  41
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL142023
300 PM GMT Sun Sep 17 2023
 
Margot has lacked organized deep convection since around 00 UTC and
is no longer a tropical cyclone. Therefore, this is the last NHC
advisory.
 
The latest Dvorak current intensity estimate from TAFB is the basis 
for the 35 kt initial intensity. Regeneration in the short term is 
not expected due to high wind shear and dry surrounding air. With no 
deep convection, the cyclone's winds should gradually decrease over 
the next day or so. The post-tropical cyclone is forecast to turn 
slowly northward today and tonight, and then turn eastward by 
Tuesday in the wake of Post-Tropical Lee, which will be passing well 
to the north. While Margot's maximum winds could fluctuate slightly 
during this time, it could also open into a trough as early as 
Tuesday. After that, the cyclone or its remnants should meander west 
of the Azores for a day or two until it ultimately dissipates 
southeast of Nigel late this week.
