Hurricane Danielle Discussion Number  22
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL052022
300 PM GMT Tue Sep 06 2022
 
Danielle's overall appearance has changed little this morning. The 
system remains characterized by fragmented deep convection within a 
symmetrical and vertically stacked circulation. In addition, an eye 
feature has remained generally identifiable in visible satellite 
imagery. The latest Dvorak CI values of 4.0 from TAFB and SAB also 
suggest little change in intensity, and thus the system will be kept 
as a 65-kt hurricane for this advisory.

The hurricane has slowed its forward motion, and over the past 12-h 
the system has been moving east-northeastward at around 5 kt. 
Danielle is expected to accelerate east-northeastward tonight in the 
increasing flow ahead of a digging upper-trough. This trough is 
forecast to spawn a baroclinic system west of Danielle by late this 
week, forcing it to make a cyclonic loop while the two systems merge 
into a larger extratropical low. The merged system is then forecast 
to move east-southeastward to southeastward over the weekend. There 
was little change to the NHC track forecast compared to the previous 
advisory.   

Danielle is forecast to continue over SSTs of about 25 degrees C 
over the next 12-24 h, so little change in strength is indicated 
during that time. However, on Wednesday the cyclone should cross a 
tight SST gradient and begin traversing over waters of 20 degrees C 
or less for the remainder of the forecast period. The combination of 
these cooler waters and the interaction with the baroclinic system 
should cause extratropical transition to complete by Thursday. The 
latest NHC intensity forecast is unchanged from the previous one, 
and is close to the various multi-model consensus and SHIPS values. 

Danielle is producing a large area of very rough seas over the 
central-north Atlantic. Complete information on the High Seas
