Post-Tropical Cyclone Howard Discussion Number  19
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP092022
800 PM PDT Wed Aug 10 2022
 
The last bit of deep convection near Howard's center faded around 
the time of this morning's advisory, about 12 hours ago.  Since the 
center is now moving over waters colder than 22 degrees Celsius, 
it's very unlikely that significant deep convection will reignite, 
and Howard has therefore degenerated into a post-tropical low.  
The low is still likely producing gale-force winds, which are 
estimated to be as high as 40 kt based on a gradual spin down of 
the circulation and the latest satellite estimates.  Gales could 
continue for another 6-12 hours as the system weakens over cold 
water, and global models are in general agreement that the remnant 
low will dissipate in 2-3 days.

The initial motion remains west-northwestward, or 285/10 kt.  
Howard's remnant circulation is expected to turn westward and slow 
down a bit during the next 24 hours, continuing that motion until 
dissipation.  The previous forecast lies along the northern edge of 
the 00z track guidance envelope, and because of that, the new (and 
final) NHC forecast has been pushed southward, close to the GFS and 
TVCE consensus solutions.
