For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently 
downgraded Tropical Storm Leslie, located over the central 
subtropical Atlantic Ocean, and has issued the last advisory on 
Post-Tropical Cyclone Milton, located off the east coast of central 
Florida.

Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
Recent satellite wind data show that a broad low pressure area with 
winds of 30 to 35 mph has formed in association with a tropical 
wave located southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. However, the 
system's shower and thunderstorm activity is currently poorly 
organized.  Some additional development could occur while it moves 
westward or west-northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic 
and the Cabo Verde Islands tonight and  Friday.  By Saturday, 
upper-level winds are forecast to become less favorable, and further 
development is unlikely after that time.  Regardless of development, 
localized areas of heavy rain and gusty winds are possible across 
portions of the Cabo Verde Islands tonight through Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

Tropical Storm Leslie Forecast Discussion Number 34

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number  34
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL132024
500 PM AST Thu Oct 10 2024

The center of Leslie has been exposed for the past 6 h, thanks to 
strong northerly wind shear.  The center has continued to move 
farther away from the convection as the afternoon has progressed.  
The initial intensity is brought down to 60 kt, which agrees with a 
blend of the various objective intensity estimates from UW-CIMSS.
 
Leslie continues to plow through a zone of strong northerly shear, 
and the SHIPS guidance and model fields indicate Leslie will 
continue to experience 40 kt of northerly to northeasterly shear for 
another 12 to 24 h.  In addition, Leslie is forecast to continue 
moving through a relatively dry environment.  Rapid weakening is 
expected to continue over the next 12 to 24 h, and the latest NHC 
intensity forecast is lower than the previous one due to the weaker 
initial intensity.  If Leslie survives as a tropical cyclone for 
another two days, which is not guaranteed, it will approach a 
frontal zone in 2 to 3 days and could take on some frontal 
characteristics.  While all of the models show Leslie dissipating 
by 4 to 5 days, there is significant uncertainty on whether Leslie 
will become extratropical or just dissipate.
 
Leslie is moving northwestward, or 315/7 kt.  Model guidance is in 
good agreement that a northward turn will happen very soon as 
Leslie moves around the southwestern periphery of a subtropical 
ridge over the eastern Atlantic.  On Friday and Friday night, the 
hurricane should speed up and turn to the northeast, followed by an 
east-northeastward turn as it accelerates further over the weekend.  
There is a bit of along-track spread in the guidance after 48 h, as 
some of the models show Leslie accelerating faster toward the 
east-northeast.  Only minor changes are made to the previous NHC 
track to account for the models being slightly farther west during 
the first 36 h of the forecast.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Milton
was located near latitude 29.5 North, longitude 76.3 West.  Milton 
is moving toward the east near 21 mph (33 km/h), and this general 
motion with an increase in forward speed is expected during the next 
several days.  On the forecast track, the center of the 
post-tropical cyclone will pass to the south of Bermuda late Friday.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 70 mph (110 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast during the 
next several days.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 310 miles (500 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 983 mb (29.03 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key Messages for Milton can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC
and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml
 
STORM SURGE: Coastal flooding is expected to continue along 
portions of the southeastern U.S. coast through tonight.  The water 
could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the 
indicated areas...
 
Altamaha Sound, GA to Port Canaveral, FL...1-3 ft
St. Johns River...1-3 ft
 
For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge
inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm
Surge Graphic, available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?peakSurge.
 
RAINFALL: Additional rainfall amounts up to an inch are possible 
along the northeastern coast of Florida through this evening. In the 
wake of heavy rainfall from Milton, the risk of considerable urban 
flooding will linger through this evening across east central 
Florida. Moderate to major river flooding is ongoing and forecast 
throughout central Florida.

For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with 
Milton, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall 
Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?rainqpf and 
the Flash Flood Risk graphic at 
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ero. 
 
WIND: Gusty winds will likely continue along portions of the
southeastern U.S. coast through tonight.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Milton are expected to continue to
affect portions of the southeast U.S. and the Bahamas during the
next couple of days.  These swells could cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult products from your
local weather office.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Milton Forecast Discussion Number 23

Post-Tropical Cyclone Milton Discussion Number  23
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL142024
500 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2024
 
Milton's satellite appearance has continued to take on an 
extratropical appearance, and ASCAT data from a few hours ago 
confirmed that the cyclone has become frontal.  Based on that 
information, Milton was declared post tropical in the 2 pm 
intermediate advisory.  The ASCAT passes showed maximum winds of 
55-60 kt to the northwest of the center, so the initial intensity 
is set to 60 kt.

Milton has turned eastward and sped up a bit (080/18 kt).  A 
general eastward motion with an increase in forward speed is 
expected during the next several days, with the extratropical low 
forecast to pass south of Bermuda in 24-36 hours.  Global model 
fields and intensity models indicate that the intensity should 
gradually decrease during the next several days, and this is 
reflected in the official forecast.  Dissipation is shown by day 4, 
although there is still some uncertainty if Milton will become 
absorbed by the frontal zone before that time, or retain its 
identity beyond 4 days.

Since all storm surge and tropical storm warnings have been 
discontinued, this will be the last advisory on Milton.  Additional 
information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts 
issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header 
NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at 
ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php
 
 
Key Messages:
 
1. Gusty winds and coastal flooding will gradually diminish along
portions of the southeastern U.S. coast through tonight.
 
2. In the wake of heavy rainfall from Milton, the risk of 
considerable urban flooding will linger through this evening across 
east central Florida. Moderate to major river flooding is ongoing 
and forecast throughout central Florida.
 
3. In Florida, continue to use caution since deadly hazards remain, 
including downed power lines and flooded areas.  Ensure generators 
are properly ventilated and placed outside at least 20 feet away 
from doors, windows, and garages to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
If you are cleaning up storm damage, be careful when using
chainsaws and power tools, and drink plenty of water to avoid heat
exhaustion.

HEAVY RAIN/FLASH FLOOD
In Arizona, typically, the heaviest rain falls during the summer thunderstorm season, or Monsoon, in our state. The rain can accumulate very quickly, resulting in flooded streets or washes, and can even cause deaths via flash flooding. In Phoenix, the greatest rainfall in a 24 hour period was 4.98 inches on July 1-2, 1911. This total is quite a bit less than the Arizona record of 11.4 inches, which fell on Workman Creek (near Globe) on September 4-5, 1970.
