ZCZC MIATCDEP5 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM TROPICAL STORM SEYMOUR DISCUSSION NUMBER 19 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP202016 200 PM PDT THU OCT 27 2016 A combination of cold sea surface temperatures and 35 kt of southwesterly shear has reduced Seymour to an almost convection-less swirl of clouds. The initial intensity is reduced to 55 kt based on a blend of satellite intensity estimates, and this could be generous. Rapid weakening should continue, and Seymour is forecast to become a remnant low in 24 hours or less, and dissipate completely between 48-72 hours. The initial motion is 345/10. Seymour is forecast to turn northward during the next several hours, and then northeastward tonight or on Friday ahead of a large deep-layer trough located well offshore of the west coast of the United States. The new track forecast is a little to the left and a little faster than the previous track, and it remains near the center of the guidance envelope.
