 TROPICAL DEPRESSION LISA DISCUSSION NUMBER  11
 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   AL142010
 1100 AM AST THU SEP 23 2010
  
 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES DEEP CONVECTION HAS
 INCREASED AND BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED NEAR THE CENTER OF
 LISA. A 23/0907Z SSMIS MICROWAVE OVERPASS INDICATED A WELL-DEFINED
 CURVED BAND OF CONVECTION HAD FORMED AND WRAPPED BETTER THAN HALF
 WAY AROUND THE NORTH AND WEST SIDE OF THE CENTER. DVORAK SATELLITE
 INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE T2.0/30 KT FROM TAFB...T1.5/25 FROM SAB.
 UW-CIMSS ADT ESTIMATE REMAIN WELL ABOVE THE SUBJECTIVE INTENSITY
 ESTIMATES AT T3.3/51 KT. THE INITIAL INTENSITY FOR THIS ADVISORY
 WILL BE HELD AT 30 KT...WHICH COULD BE A LITTLE LOW GIVEN THE RECENT
 UPWARD TREND NOTED IN THE VARIOUS SATELLITE DATA.
 
 LISA HAS BEEN DRIFTING EASTWARD...BUT A SLOW NORTHWARD MOTION OF
 360/02 IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN WITHIN THE NEXT 6-12 HOURS. WATER VAPOR
 IMAGERY INDICATES THE ELONGATED MID- TO UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH THAT HAS
 BEEN NUDGING LISA EASTWARD THE PAST FEW DAYS IS BEGINNING TO SHOW
 SIGNS OF SLOWLY LIFTING OUT TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE
 WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH OF THE CYCLONE TO
 FILL IN AND BEGIN TO STEER LISA TO THE NORTH AND EVENTUALLY
 NORTHWESTWARD. THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS
 DEVELOPING SCENARIO AND SHOWS LESS SPREAD THAN PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS.
 THE NHC FORECAST TRACK HAS BEEN SHIFTED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT OF
 THE PREVIOUS OF ADVISORY TRACK...BUT REMAINS ALONG THE EXTREME LEFT
 SIDE OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE ENVELOPE.
 
 NOW THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND ITS ASSOCIATED
 SOUTHWESTERLY ARE MOVING AWAY FROM LISA...THE UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW
 PATTERN HAS IMPROVED. HOWEVER...THE NEARBY PRESENCE OF DRY
 MID-LEVEL AIR REMAINS PROBLEMATIC IN THE INTENSITY FORECAST
 PROCESS. THE LOWEST SHEAR AND BEST MOISTURE PROFILES FOR
 INTENSIFICATION TO OCCUR ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT LISA DURING THE
 NEXT 24-36 HOURS. AFTER THAT...DRIER MID-LEVEL AIR...COOLER
 SSTS...AND INCREASING WESTERLY SHEAR AHEAD OF ANOTHER
 MID-TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH ARE EXPECTED TO INDUCE A STEADY WEAKENING
 TREND. THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS
 ADVISORY AND A BLEND OF NHC INTENSITY MODELS.
