Post-Tropical Cyclone Fabio Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP062024
200 PM PDT Wed Aug 07 2024
This afternoon's satellite presentation shows that Fabio has
succumbed to the increasingly harsh surrounding environment. Only a
poorly defined surface circulation of low cloud elements is what
remains of the tropical cyclone. Therefore, Fabio no longer meets
the definition of a tropical cyclone, and this will be the last NHC
advisory. The post-tropical cyclone's initial intensity is reduced
to 35 kt, based on the TAFB and SAB satellite intensity estimates.
Further weakening is forecast in the short term before merging with
Emilia on Thursday.
Fabio's initial motion is estimated to be southwestward or
225/14 kt and this general motion is expected to continue through
tonight, while it moves around the western periphery of Emilia's
circulation and eventually merges with Emilia on Thursday, or
sooner.
