Tropical Storm Bud Special Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022024
430 AM PDT Thu Jul 25 2024
Recent surface observations from the Mexican Navy station on Isla
Clarion reported sustained winds of 49 kt with a pressure of 1004
mb as Bud passed to the south of the station. Given that ASCAT
from a few hours ago showed vectors as high as 44 kt, the
observations from the island are consistent.
The only change to the NHC forecast is to increase the forecast
wind speed through the 24-hour point, due to the higher initial
intensity. The observations from Isla Clarion also suggest the
gust factor is a little higher than normal, and this is indicated
in the Forecast/Advisory.
