Update 18th September 2.00 p.m. UTC

Valid: Fri 18 Sep 2020 06:00 to Sat 19 Sep 2020 06:00 UTC
Issued: Thu 17 Sep 2020 22:48
Forecaster: PISTOTNIK

A level 3 is issued for a confined area in W Greece for severe convective wind gusts.

A level 1 and level 2 are issued for larger areas of Greece for severe convective wind gusts and excessive convective precipitation.

A level 1 and level 2 are issued for parts of Morocco, Portugal, Spain, S France for excessive convective precipitation, severe convective wind gusts and large hail. In coastal areas, tornadoes are not ruled out.

SYNOPSIS

A blocking anticyclone stretches from the North Atlantic Ocean to Romania. It is flanked to the SW by a cut-off low near Portugal, to the N by a strong zonal flow over Scandinavia, to the NE by another cut-off low in W Russia and to the SE by a suptropical cyclone over the Ionian Sea. Overall, the configuration somewhat resembles an "omega" pattern.
While a surge of polar air advances to the Black Sea in the wake of the eastern cut-off low, very warm air creates still summer-like conditions to the southwest of the axis of highest pressure / geopotential.

DISCUSSION

... Greece and surrounding sea waters ...

The subtropical storm 2020M01 over the Ionian Sea has possibly reached hurricane strength by Thursday evening while it maintains a slow eastward track towards the central west coast of Greece. The Thursday 12 UTC model runs havy largely converged to a track passing between the islands of Zakynthos and Kefalonia shortly before Friday 06 UTC (the beginning of this forecast period). WRF is the only remaining forecast model that still shows a southerly track over the open sea staying slightly southwest of Zakynthos.
Widespread hurricane-force wind gusts (>32 m/s) and extremely intense rainfall are very likely within a few tens of kilometers around the cyclone's center, and this risk extends for at least some hours into the current forecast period. It is not certain whether the innermost rain bands will also be accompanied by thunderstorms - there were only occasional flare-ups of electric activity on Thursday -, but with a few hundred J/kg CAPE in place the chances are high enough to meet our level 3 criteria in a confined area around the expected track of the cyclone's center. In inland areas, the wind risk diminishes betimes, but extraordinary rainfall accumulations, probably exceeding 200 mm in some regions with either prolonged upslope flow or beneath almost stationary and backbuilding rain bands, can easily cause catastrophic and life-threatening flash floods, mudslides and debris flows. Apart from the immediate vicinity of the cyclone center, another hot spot for abundant precipitation with embedded convection is expected to emerge on the northeastern side of the Greek mainland, where very moist and slightly unstable air from the Aegean Sea is persistenly advected against the mountains at the northern periphery of the circulation.
The further fate of the subtropical storm after Fri 12 UTC - either a quick filling over the Gulf of Patras, "disturbed" by the surrounding land mass, or a loop back southward into open sea waters with a slower filling or even partial recovery - will govern how quickly or slowly the wind risk decreases from Friday afternoon onwards, and how large the affected regions will be. The flooding risk is expected to continue into Saturday. For more details and updated information on this subtropical storm, please refer to our experimental 12-hourly Subtropical Cyclone Track and Intensity Forecasts and to the official warnings from the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (HNMS).

... central to S Italy and surrounding sea waters ...

Where not overworked by the subtropical storm, the very warm airmass in the central Mediterranean region features fairly steep lapse rates on top of particularly rich low-level moisture (2m dewpoints often between 20 and 24C). The Thursday 12 UTC soundings from Pratica di Mare, Brindisi and Trapani indicated CAPE between 1500 and 3000 J/kg, rising from north to south.
This CAPE reservoir will largely remain in place on Friday (only gently pushed south by northerly surface winds), but compensating subsidence from the subtropic storm creates a rather strong cap and should mostly suppress convective initiation. At best, only a few short-lived and struggling storms are imaginable over mountains that are high enough to penetrate the cap.

... Iberian Peninsula, France ...

Ahead of the western cut-off low, a fairly strong southerly flow advects steep lapse rates from NW Africa and the Spanish highlands on top of rich coastal moisture. The resulting CAPE will probably reach 1000-2000 J/kg along the Spanish east coast, while some hundred or locally up to 1000 J/kg may also develop further inland, depending on how much moisture can be advected inland and how effective the counteracting mixing processes will be. Increasing mid-level flow drives 0-6 km shear to 15-25 m/s.
The most likely focus for storm initiation are a diffuse cold front and a superimposed mid-level vorticity maximum that cross the eastern half of Spain from SW to NE. Considering a considerable cap, first storms are expected to form either over the mountains or to root down from Altocumulus levels around noon near the western edge of the drawn level 2 area. The CAPE-and-shear overlap allows well-organized storms, including upscale growth into one or several MCSs with a main risk of severe wind gusts at their leading edge(s) and excessive rain. Tail-end storms will most likely move along the east coast or stay just offshore, they can turn supercellular and produce large to very large hail plus one or two tornadoes (considering low cloud bases and enhanced 0-1 km shear in the sea breeze regime).
Convection will gradually weaken after sunset while it spreads into France. If storms stay still surface-based, some severe weather events are also still possible in the French Pyrenees forelands.
The most impressive mid-level wind maximum overspreads SE Spain in the afternoon to evening and creates 0-6 km shear even up to 30 m/s with strongly veering wind profiles. Convection forming in this environment could produce a few extreme hail and wind events. However, the onset of synoptic subsidence makes convective initiation increasingly unlikely by then. Nonetheless, monitoring of this area until the evening is recommended.

Behind the cold front, lapse rates are weaker, but moisture from the Atlantic is advected far inland and daytime heating creates a few hundred J/kg CAPE. Under still enhanced vertical wind shear, scattered and rather low-topped, daytime-driven convection is expected. Ths strongest storms may organize into multi- and perhaps a few supercells and produce heavy rain, isolated severe wind gusts and marginally large hail. Again, a tornado is not ruled out in coastal areas, where cloud bases are lowest.

Update 17th September 10.30 a.m. UTC

A rare Cyclone Ianos is currently moving eastward, toward the Greek western coastal area and should be close to it by Friday morning.
Strengthening is expected within the next 18–24 hours.

Maximum sustained winds are near 90 km/h (48.5 knots) with higher gusts.

Ianos will cause heavy rainfall, up to 400 mm in some areas, which can result in flash floods. Damaging winds are expected across the islands of Zakynthos and Kefalonia and the coastal regions near the Gulf of Patras and the western Peloponnese.
There is a risk of tornadoes developing.

Update 16th September 1.30 p.m. UTC

Valid: Wed 16 Sep 2020 09:00 to Wed 16 Sep 2020 21:00 UTC
Issued: Wed 16 Sep 2020 09:05
Forecaster: ESTOFEX

A Mediterranean convectively-driven cyclone has formed across the Central Mediterranean Sea. At 06 UTC, the Dvorak method for estimating storm intensity yields a T-number between 2.5 and 3. This suggests an approximate central pressure of around 1002 mb and sustained wind speeds of around 20 m/s.

A forecast track and intensity evolution based on a consensus of numerical weather prediction models including GFS, ECMWF and ICON is presented in the graphic.

The models are initially in fairly good agreement and predict a rather quick intensification during the next 36 hours until above hurricane speed, aided by high sea surface temperatures near 27C and a lack of relatively dry air at mid-levels.

The models start to diverge late on Thursday and on Friday when ICON steers the cyclone towards Northwestern Greece, while ECMWF predicts landfall on the Peloponnesos, and GFS keeps the cyclone just offshore before it turns to a southeasterly track.

Regardless of the exact scenario, very high accumulations of rain, locally between 200 and 400 mm are expected across the Peloponnesos and possibly parts of Central Greece and Attica late on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Cyclone Yasa, currently located near 21.7S 178.0W, is moving toward the southwest at 15km/h (8 knots).
The system is not directly impacting the island nation of Tonga but it is close enough to bring gale-force winds to the Tongatapu island group.

Maximum sustained winds are 85 km/h (45 knots).

Yasa is expected to steadily weaken throughout the weekend and degenerate into a post-tropical cyclone by the beginning of the next week.

Update: 18th of December, 10.00 a.m. UTC

Yasa, located near 18.6S 178.6W, has rapidly weakened. Moving near 11 km/h (6 knots) southwestward to southward.

Maximum sustained winds are near 139 km/h (75 knots).

It is forecasted that Yasa will steadily weaken.

Update: 17th of December, 9.30 a.m. UTC

Located near 16.30S 178.48E, Yasa has made landfall, earlier than it was expected, on Bua, Vanua Levu, Fiji as Category 4 hurricane-equivalent. The system is moving southeast at 18 km/h (9.7 knots).

The cyclone is forecasted to be located about 25 km west-northwest of Koro or about 130 km north-east of Suva today and about 80 km east of Moala or 230 km east of Suva tomorrow morning.

Fiji's government ordered a nationwide curfew on Thursday. A potentially devastating cyclone is expected to unleash powerful winds and flooding.

Update: 16th of December, 9.30 a.m. UTC

Yasa has significantly intensified to a Category 5 hurricane-equivalent strength. Located near 14.6S 174.1E, the system moves near 11km/h (6 knots).

Maximum sustained winds are 260 km/h (140 knots).

Yasa is expected to weaken before it approaches the main islands of Fiji on Thursday evening. It is forecasted to reach the northern island of Venua Levu on early Friday morning with maximum sustained winds near 220 km/h (120 knots).

Additional weakening is then expected as the cyclone emerges to the south of the islands on Saturday morning.

Update: 15th of December, 10.00 a.m. UTC

Located at 14.9S 173.0E, Yasa has strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane-equivalent. Yasa is slowly tracking eastward at 6 knots and is expected to continue this general motion.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to 105 knots.

Yasa is expected to be near Category 3 hurricane-equivalent as it passes between the main Fijian islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

Update: 14th of December, 1.00 p.m. UTC

Cyclone Yasa, currently located at 15.7S 172.3 E, is moving toward the west-northwest near 6 km/h (3 knots).

The system is expected to gain strength and reach hurricane-equivalent strength by Tuesday morning and begin to move toward the southeast.
Currently, it is forecasted for Yasa to near Category 3 hurricane-equivalent strength as it passes very narrowly to the southwest of the Fijian island of Viti Levu on Friday night.

The system should not make a direct impact on the island but tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rainfall are possible across portions of the island, affecting the cities of Nadi and Suva.
