Hurricane Danielle Discussion Number   8

300 AM GMT Sat Sep 03 2022

Danielle's satellite presentation has degraded further this
evening, highlighted by a loss of the eye.  Dvorak T-numbers have
decreased from TAFB and SAB since earlier today, but their
respective Current Intensity numbers remain 4.0 and 4.5.
Therefore, the initial intensity is being held at 65 kt.

Danielle has been stationary for the past 6-12 hours while it
remains in a weak steering environment to the south of a blocking
high over the North Atlantic.  This pattern is expected to hold
firm for the next few days, with the hurricane forecast to meander
through about day 3.  After that time, a deep-layer trough moving
off the coast of Atlantic Canada and the northeastern U.S. should
finally shove Danielle on an accelerating path toward the northeast
on days 4 and 5.  During the acceleration phase, the updated NHC
track forecast is a little north of the previous forecast and lies
close to the HCCA, TVCN, and FSSE multi-model consensus aids.

Danielle's convective and organizational struggles during the past
few hours could be due to upwelling of cooler waters.  While
vertical shear is expected to be generally low 3 days or so, the
hurricane's slow motion is likely to continue to upwell cooler
waters, and therefore only slight strengthening is anticipated
during that time.  Danielle is expected to move over colder waters
after day 3, which should induce some weakening toward the end of
the forecast period.  Global models also suggest that the
cyclone could be undergoing extratropical transition by the end
of the forecast period.  The updated NHC intensity forecast is very
similar to the previous forecast.
