POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE LINDA DISCUSSION NUMBER 20
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152015
200 PM PDT THU SEP 10 2015
Linda is now a swirl of low clouds that has been devoid of deep
convection for more than 12 hours. Based on the lack of convection,
Linda is now a post-tropical cyclone and this will be the last NHC
advisory. The initial intensity is set to 30 kt based on a blend of
the latest Dvorak fixes from TAFB and SAB. The circulation of Linda
should gradually spin down over the next 2 to 3 days until the
cyclone dissipates.
The initial motion estimate remains 320/06. The remnant low should
gradually turn toward the west-northwest and then toward the west
over the next 2 days as the low becomes steered by the low-level
flow. A turn to the south of due west is shown at 72 hours. The new
NHC track forecast is a little to the north of the previous one
based on the latest trends in the track guidance.
Large swells from Linda are affecting the Pacific coast of the Baja
California peninsula and southern California. These swells could
continue for another day or so. In addition, some of Linda's mid-
and upper-level moisture is spreading northward into portions of the
southwestern U.S., which could trigger locally heavy rainfall. For
additional information, please consult products issued by the NOAA
Weather Prediction Center and your local NWS forecast office.
