    Post-Tropical Cyclone Epsilon Advisory Number 29
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL272020
    300 AM GMT Mon Oct 26 2020

    ...EPSILON BECOMES A POWERFUL POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER THE
    NORTH ATLANTIC...
    ...THIS WILL BE THE LAST NHC ADVISORY ON EPSILON...


    SUMMARY OF 300 AM GMT...0300 UTC...INFORMATION
    ----------------------------------------------
    LOCATION...48.6N 38.8W
    ABOUT 675 MI...1090 KM ENE OF CAPE RACE NEWFOUNDLAND
    MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...70 MPH...110 KM/H
    PRESENT MOVEMENT...NE OR 55 DEGREES AT 46 MPH...74 KM/H
    MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...968 MB...28.59 INCHES


    WATCHES AND WARNINGS
    --------------------
    There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.


    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 300 AM GMT (0300 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone
    Epsilon was located near latitude 48.6 North, longitude 38.8 West.
    The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the northeast near 46 mph
    (74 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through
    Monday night.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
    gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next day
    or so before the post-tropical cyclone is absorbed by a large
    extratropical low pressure system on Monday night or early Tuesday.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 450 miles (720 km)
    from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 968 mb (28.59 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    SURF: Large swells generated by Epsilon will affect Bermuda, the
    Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, the Leeward Islands, portions of the
    east coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada through Monday.
    These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
    current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
    office.


    NEXT ADVISORY
    -------------
    This is the last public advisory issued by the National Hurricane
    Center on Epsilon. Additional information on this system can be
    found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service,
    under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at

NHC Discussion on Epsilon
  • Mon, 26 Oct 2020 02:36:14 +0000: Atlantic Post-Tropical Cyclone Epsilon Discussion Number 29 - Atlantic Post-Tropical Cyclone Epsilon Discussion Number 29

    000
    WTNT42 KNHC 260236
    TCDAT2

    Post-Tropical Cyclone Epsilon Discussion Number 29
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL272020
    300 AM GMT Mon Oct 26 2020

    Recent satellite-derived wind data indicate that Epsilon no longer
    has the structure of a tropical cyclone. The low-level circulation
    is stretched out along a north-south axis, with an area of lighter
    winds noted near and north of the ill-defined center. Furthermore,
    infrared cloud tops have warmed over the past several hours as
    convection wanes near the center. Therefore, Epsilon has been
    declared a post-tropical cyclone, and this will be the last NHC
    advisory for the system.

    A partial 22Z ASCAT-A overpass showed at least 55-kt winds in the
    southern semicircle of the cyclone, which supports keeping the
    initial intensity at 60 kt. Post-tropical Epsilon is firmly embedded
    in the mid-latitude westerlies, and the cyclone will continue racing
    northeastward at around 35-40 kt for the next day or so. The cyclone
    will remain a very powerful and dangerous storm until it is absorbed
    by another large extratropical low pressure system over the
    northeastern Atlantic. The global models remain in very good
    agreement with this scenario, and no notable changes were made to
    the official NHC forecast.

    Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas
    Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS
    header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at
