ODETTE Land Hazards

• SURF - Swells generated by Odette are affecting portions of the United States Mid-Atlantic coast and are expected to spread northward to portions of the U.S. Northeast and Atlantic Canada coasts during the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

...THIS IS THE LAST NHC ADVISORY...
 
 
SUMMARY OF 500 PM AST...2100 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...39.1N 65.1W
ABOUT 295 MI...475 KM ESE OF NANTUCKET MASSACHUSETTS
ABOUT 385 MI...625 KM SSW OF HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...45 MPH...75 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...ENE OR 60 DEGREES AT 18 MPH...30 KM/H

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
 
Please refer to products issued by the Canadian Hurricane Centre
for Odette's potential impacts to Newfoundland as a post-tropical
cyclone.
 
 
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Odette
was located near latitude 39.1 North, longitude 65.1 West.  Odette 
is moving toward the east-northeast near 18 mph (30 km/h), and this 
general motion with an increase in forward speed is expected 
through Sunday.  A turn toward the east and east-southeast with a 
decrease in forward speed is expected on Monday and Tuesday.  On 
the forecast track, the center of Odette will pass well south of 
Atlantic Canada tonight through Monday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Strengthening is forecast during the next day or two.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Odette are affecting portions of the
United States Mid-Atlantic coast and are expected to spread
northward to portions of the U.S. Northeast and Atlantic Canada
coasts during the weekend.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.

Post-Tropical Cyclone ODETTE Forecast Discussion

Post-Tropical Cyclone Odette Discussion Number   5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL152021
500 PM AST Sat Sep 18 2021
 
Odette appears to have completed extratropical transition, perhaps 
a little earlier than the global models want to admit.  The cyclone 
has developed a frontal structure similar to that of a bent back 
occlusion, with cold-air stratocumulus clouds advecting eastward 
to the south of the center behind the trailing cold front.  In 
addition, the remaining deep convection is closer to the system's 
triple point than multiple-swirled center of circulation.  The 
initial intensity is highly uncertain since all three ASCAT 
instruments completely missed the area where the strongest winds 
were likely to have been occurring, and it is held at 40 kt based on 
continuity.

The post-tropical cyclone has turned to the east-northeast and is 
moving a little faster--now with a motion of 060/16 kt.  Additional 
acceleration is expected during the next 24 hours while Odette is 
embedded in the mid-latitude westerlies.  After 24 hours, Odette is 
expected to detach from the prevailing flow, which will cause the 
cyclone to slow down and meander southeast of Newfoundland by days 
3 through 5.  The track guidance has shifted slightly southward on 
this cycle, and the NHC forecast follows that trend and continues 
to hedge toward a consensus of the GFS and ECMWF models.

Now that Odette is extratropical, global models indicate that 
baroclinic forcing should support strengthening and expanding of 
the gale-force wind field during the next couple of days.  During 
this evolution, the strongest winds will also migrate to the 
northern and western side of the circulation.  The frontal low is 
expected to occlude in about 3 days, coincident with the beginning 
of its meandering motion, and that occlusion process should cause a 
slow weakening of the winds through the end of the forecast period. 
One caveat is that some of the models have been hinting that the 
occluded low could redevelop deep convection near the center and 
transition to a tropical or subtropical cyclone, but there has not 
been enough consistency among the guidance to explicitly make that 
forecast.  If the system's forecast track continues to shift 
southward toward warmer waters on days 3 through 5, that scenario 
could become a stronger possibility.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Odette is forecast to affect portions
of Newfoundland with strong winds and heavy rainfall Sunday and
Monday.  Please refer to products from the Canadian Hurricane
Centre for additional information on potential impacts in
Newfoundland.
