Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions. Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. A Storm Surge Watch means there is a possibility of life- threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours. For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the low pressure system was centered near latitude 31.3 North, longitude 75.3 West. The system is moving toward the north near 14 mph (22 km/h). A north to north-northwest motion is expected during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of the low will approach the coast of North Carolina tonight, and then move across eastern North Carolina, southeastern Virginia, and the Delmarva Peninsula Saturday and Sunday. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next day or so, and the low is expected to become a tropical storm before it reaches the coast of North Carolina. Regardless of whether it becomes a tropical storm, the system is expected to bring tropical-storm conditions to portions of the southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 240 miles (390 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations from NOAA buoy 41002 is 996 mb (29.41 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for this system can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1, WMO header WTNT41 KNHC, and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT1.shtml STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Neuse and Bay Rivers...3-5 ft Pamlico and Pungo Rivers...3-5 ft Chesapeake Bay south of Colonial Beach...2-4 ft Surf City, NC to Chincoteague, VA...2-4 ft Albemarle Sound...2-4 ft South Santee River, SC to Surf City, NC...1-3 ft Chincoteague, VA to Manasquan Inlet, NJ...1-3 ft Upper Chesapeake Bay...1-3 ft Delaware Bay...1-3 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the coast within the warning area in North Carolina later this morning, and spread northward through Saturday. RAINFALL: The system is forecast to produce 3 to 5 inches of rainfall, with localized amounts of 7 inches, across eastern North Carolina into southeast Virginia into Saturday. Across remaining portions of the Mid-Atlantic into southern New England, 2 to 4 inches of rainfall are forecast from late today into Sunday. This rainfall may produce isolated urban and small stream flooding impacts. SURF: Swells generated by this system will be affecting much of the east coast of the United States through this weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible beginning tonight through Saturday for portions of the Mid-Atlantic Coast.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen Forecast Discussion Number 4
Issued at 500 AM EDT Fri Sep 22 2023 000 WTNT41 KNHC 220834 TCDAT1 Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL162023 500 AM EDT Fri Sep 22 2023 The low pressure system off the southeast U.S. coast is gradually organizing and strengthening this morning. The cyclone is developing subtropical characteristics with deep convection consolidating on the system's north side and the center gaining definition, but there are still some frontal features associated with it. NOAA buoy 41002 well off the coast of Cape Hatteras has seen a significant pressure drop during the past several hours, and the latest report was down to 1002 mb with 30-kt winds. A saildrone measured winds of 32 kt well northeast of the center several hours ago. Based on these pressure and wind observations as well as satellite intensity estimates, the initial intensity is increased to 45 kt. Based on recent trends, it seems likely that the low will become a subtropical or tropical cyclone later today. The system has been moving erratically overnight, but recent satellite images suggest that it is now moving northward at about 7 kt. A northward to northwestward motion is expected during the next couple of days as the system moves on the west side of a subtropical high, taking the cyclone inland over eastern North Carolina early Saturday and over portions of the Mid-Atlantic Saturday night and Sunday. The NHC track forecast is quite similar to the previous one and not far from the GFS and ECMWF models. The notable strengthening that has occurred overnight is due to a combination of baroclinic influences from the mid- to upper-level trough just to the west of the system and the warm Gulf Stream waters. The system will likely strengthen a little more before it reaches the coast of North Carolina. After landfall, land interaction, dry air, and strong shear should lead to weakening and cause the system to transition back to an extratropical low in a couple of days. It should be noted that the cyclone has a large wind field, and tropical-storm-force winds will begin well ahead of the center. Key Messages: 1. Low pressure off the southeastern U.S. coast is producing a large area of tropical-storm-force winds and is forecast to strengthen further before it reaches the coast of North Carolina early Saturday. Tropical storm conditions are expected along portions of the southeastern and mid-Atlantic U.S. coasts within the Tropical Storm Warning area beginning later this morning and continuing into Saturday night. 2. There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge inundation over portions of eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, including Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds, and the lower Chesapeake Bay, where Storm Surge Warnings are in place. Residents in these areas should follow advice given by local officials. 3. Heavy rainfall from this system could produce localized urban and small stream flooding impacts across the eastern mid-Atlantic states from North Carolina to New Jersey through Sunday. 4. Swells generated by this system will affect much of the U.S. east coast through the weekend, likely causing life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Nigel Forecast Discussion Number 28
Issued at 900 AM GMT Fri Sep 22 2023 000 WTNT45 KNHC 220834 TCDAT5 Post-Tropical Cyclone Nigel Discussion Number 28 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152023 900 AM GMT Fri Sep 22 2023 Nigel has completed its transition to an extra-tropical cyclone this morning. Convection from earlier has waned, and is well displaced from the exposed low-level center. Based on a blend of an earlier partial ASCAT pass and subjective Dvorak satellite intensity estimates, the initial intensity is lowered to 60 kt for this advisory. The system is encountering very strong vertical wind shear and ocean temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius. The system is forecast to continue to gradually weaken over the next couple of days. However, the system will remain a strong extra-tropical cyclone with an expanding wind field. The NHC intensity forecast is similar to the previous advisory and lies near the model consensus. Nigel continues to race northeastward at 32 kt. A northeastward motion is forecast to continue the next day or so, as it remains in the flow along the southern edge of a deep mid-latitude trough. Afterwards, Nigel should rotate around the eastern side of a large extratropical cyclone over the North Atlantic, with the two extratropical systems merging in about 48 h. The model guidance remains in fairly good agreement, and the NHC forecast lies in the center of the guidance envelope.

Tropical Depression Kenneth Forecast Discussion Number 12
Issued at 200 AM PDT Fri Sep 22 2023 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 220833 TCDEP3 Tropical Depression Kenneth Discussion Number 12 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132023 200 AM PDT Fri Sep 22 2023 Kenneth is just barely enough to be classified as a tropical cyclone. Satellite imagery shows that the low-level center continues to be exposed with waning convection displaced to the north of the system. A recent scatterometer pass indicated that the system is producing winds around 25-30 kt. Based on the scatterometer pass, the intensity is lowered to 30 kt for this advisory, which is also in good agreement with the latest TAFB Dvorak intensity estimate. The tropical depression is moving to the north at 9 kt. The system will continue to move northward during the next day or two, around a high pressure ridge centered over central Mexico. Towards the end of the period, the remnant low will begin to move westward in the low-level flow. There was little change to the previous forecast track for this advisory. Kenneth is in a fairly hostile environment with strong vertical wind shear and cool sea surface temperatures. The system should continue to gradually weaken in these unfavorable conditions. Kenneth is forecast to become a post-tropical remnant low later today.
