HURRICANE NICOLE DISCUSSION NUMBER  50

1100 AM AST SUN OCT 16 2016

Nicole appears to be maintaining its strength this morning. The
satellite presentation of the hurricane is slightly better organized
than several hours ago. A large ragged eye of the cyclone is still
evident in visible satellite images, surrounded by patches of cold
cloud tops.  The initial wind speed is held at 75 kt, which is a
little higher than the latest Dvorak estimates. Although Nicole is
over 24 deg C SSTs and is headed for even colder waters during the
next day or two, there should be enough instability for the
continuation of some deep convection near the center of the cyclone.
Therefore, only slow weakening is expected before Nicole completes
the transition to an extratropical cyclone in about two days when it
is absorbed by an upper-level trough.

Nicole is moving slowly east-southeastward as the hurricane is now
largely cut off from the stronger mid-latitude flow.  A slow
northeastward motion is expected later today and tonight, followed
by an acceleration to the north-northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The expected turn and increase in forward speed are due to the
approach of the aforementioned large upper-level trough that is
currently located over eastern Canada. The track models are in
relatively good agreement, and the new NHC forecast is a little
slower than the previous one to come into better agreement with the
latest consensus aids.

The initial wind radii were adjusted based on a 1230 UTC ASCAT-B
pass. Guidance from the NOAA Ocean Prediction Center (OPC) was used
for the forecast wind radii.

The primary hazard associated with Nicole will be high seas.  Recent
wave-height altimeter data indicate that a large area of 20-ft seas
exist near the hurricane.  In addition, swells from Nicole are
spreading far from the system, and High Seas Forecasts from OPC
and TAFB suggest that long-period swells will continue to radiate
outward and affect much of the North Atlantic basin during the next
few days.

HURRICANE NICOLE DISCUSSION NUMBER  12
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       AL152016
1100 PM AST THU OCT 06 2016

Nicole has rapidly intensified during the day, with a pinhole eye
apparent in satellite and microwave imagery.  Although the eye has
recently become obscured, Dvorak satellite estimates support an
initial intensity of 90 kt for this advisory.  All of the guidance
suggests that the shear near Nicole should increase during the next
couple of days since the tropical cyclone will be in an environment
of increasingly strong upper-level northerly winds.  Thus Nicole
is probably near its peak intensity, and slow weakening is forecast
from Friday through the weekend.  The large-scale environment
could become more conducive for re-intensification by days 4 or 5,
and some restrengthening is shown around that time.  The new
intensity forecast is very close to the previous one, slightly above
the model consensus.

Nicole has moved very little during the past several hours.  The
hurricane will likely begin to drift southward by tomorrow
afternoon due to steering from the western side of a mid-level
trough.  Thereafter, Nicole could gradually turn toward the
southwest, west, and northwest over the next few days around a
ridge over the western Atlantic Ocean.  There is better agreement in
the guidance than yesterday, although the ECMWF remains a bit of an
outlier solution to the east.  Since a stronger system would likely
respond more to the deep-layer northerly flow, the new NHC track is
shifted a bit to the south of the previous forecast in a couple of
days, but ends up close to the last NHC advisory by day 5.

A climate note:  This is the first time since September 10, 1964
that two Category 2 (or stronger) hurricanes have occurred
simultaneously in the Atlantic basin west of 65W.  Interestingly,
those hurricanes in 1964, Dora and Ethel, were in similar positions
as Matthew and Nicole are now.

TROPICAL STORM NICOLE DISCUSSION NUMBER   9
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       AL152016
1100 AM AST THU OCT 06 2016

Nicole's cloud pattern hasn't changed much since the last advisory,
and consists of a ragged CDO with some banding features over the
southeastern portion of the circulation.  Upper-level outflow is
restricted over the northern semicircle of the storm.  Dvorak
classifications are unchanged from SAB and TAFB, yielding intensity
estimates of 55 kt and 65 kt, respectively, so the advisory
intensity is held at 60 kt.  Although Nicole could reach hurricane
strength today, increasing north-northwesterly shear should lead to
a slow weakening trend, beginning tomorrow.  The official intensity
forecast is a blend of the latest LGEM and SHIPS guidance.

The forward motion is slowing, and the motion is now estimated to
be about 325/5 kt.  A mid-level high pressure area to the northeast
of Nicole should quickly collapse while a shortwave trough drops
southward into the area.  This will leave the tropical cyclone in
weak steering currents within the next day or so.  A high pressure
area is forecast to build to the west and northwest of Nicole
during the next couple of days, and this should force some
southward component of motion.  Overall, however, the official
forecast, like the previous one, shows little overall motion
throughout the period.  This is in reasonable agreement with the
dynamical model consensus.

Swells associated with this slow-moving storm are affecting
Bermuda, and these conditions are likely to continue for the
next several days.
