000WTNT44 KNHC 040257TCDAT4HURRICANE MATTHEW DISCUSSION NUMBER 24NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL1420161100 PM EDT MON OCT 03 2016An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft this evening measuredtwo peak SFMR winds of 125 kt in the northeastern eyewall, alongwith a peak flight-level wind of 129 kt. The lowest pressuremeasured by a dropsonde has been 934 mb, down 6 mb since theprevious flight. Based on these data, the initial intensity has beenincreased to 125 kt.Matthew continues to move a little east of due north, or 010/07 kt.There is no change to the previous short-term track forecastreasoning. Matthew is expected to move northward around the westernperiphery of a strong deep-layer ridge for the next 24 hours,followed by a north-northwestward motion at 36 and 48 hours. Thatportion of the new forecast track is essentially the same as theprevious advisory, bringing Matthew over the southwestern peninsulaof Haiti tonight and near or over eastern Cuba on Tuesday. Beyond 48hours, the GFS has again trended westward, and now lies closer tothe UKMET model track. This change might be related to themid-/upper-level trough currently located over the eastern Gulf ofMexico, which is now forecast to split, with the northern portionlifting out to the northeast and dissipating while the southernportion cuts of into a low pressure system that drops southward overthe northwestern Caribbean Sea by 36-48 hours. The new trackforecast has again been shifted westward closer to Florida, and liesnear a blend of the 18Z GFS and 12Z ECMWF model solutions.Only slight weakening is expected during the next couple of days dueto Matthew interacting with the land masses of western Haiti andeastern Cuba. After the hurricane emerges over the Atlantic watersbetween Cuba and the Bahamas, low vertical wind shear and warm SSTsof near 30C should help Matthew to recover some before southwesterlywind shear increases by 96-120 hours and induces a faster rate ofweakening. The new NHC intensity forecast is basically identical tothe previous advisory, and closely follows the consensus model IVCN.KEY MESSAGES:1. Matthew is likely to produce devastating impacts from stormsurge, extreme winds, heavy rains, flash floods, and/or mudslides inportions of the watch and warning areas in Haiti, Cuba, and theBahamas. Please consult statements from the meteorological servicesand other government officials in those countries.2. Direct hurricane impacts are possible in Florida later thisweek. Tropical storm and/or hurricane watches are likely tomorrowmorning for portions of the Florida peninsula and the Florida Keys.3. Tropical storm or hurricane conditions could affect portions ofGeorgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina later this week or thisweekend, even if the center of Matthew remains offshore. It is toosoon to specify what, if any, direct impacts Matthew might have onthe remainder of the U.S. east coast farther north. At a minimum,very dangerous beach and boating conditions are likely along much ofthe U.S. east coast later this week and weekend.FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDSINIT 04/0300Z 16.9N 74.6W 125 KT 145 MPH 12H 04/1200Z 18.3N 74.5W 125 KT 145 MPH 24H 05/0000Z 20.0N 74.4W 120 KT 140 MPH 36H 05/1200Z 21.8N 75.2W 115 KT 130 MPH 48H 06/0000Z 23.4N 76.2W 110 KT 125 MPH 72H 07/0000Z 26.6N 78.7W 105 KT 120 MPH 96H 08/0000Z 30.0N 79.6W 100 KT 115 MPH120H 09/0000Z 33.3N 77.6W 90 KT 105 MPH$$Forecaster Stewart
