Tropical Storm Martin Discussion Number   3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL162022
1100 PM AST Tue Nov 01 2022

Deep convection is gradually increasing near the center of Martin
and banding features are becoming better established on the system's
north side. Even though the core of Martin looks tropical in nature,
the storm still has some subtropical characteristics with frontal
features nearby. The latest Dvorak estimates were unchanged from
earlier, so the initial wind speed remains 50 kt for this advisory.

Martin is moving just south of due east, with the latest initial
motion estimated to be 100/9 kt. The storm should begin to turn
northeastward on Wednesday as a mid- to upper-level trough currently
off the northeast U.S. approaches the system. A stronger mid- to
upper-level trough near Atlantic Canada should help accelerate
Martin northeastward by Wednesday night and Thursday before this
trough interacts and merges with the storm Thursday night and
Friday. After the two systems merge, Martin will likely slow down
and move eastward over the northeastern Atlantic. Little change was
made to the previous track forecast during the first 72 hours, but
notable eastward adjustments were made at days 4 and 5 to be in
better agreement with the latest model guidance.

Although Martin is over relatively cool 25 degree C waters and
headed over even cooler SSTs during the next couple of days,
unstable conditions and upper-level diffluence along with
non-tropical forcing should cause significant strengthening during
the next day or two. Martin is forecast to become a powerful
extratropical low in about 36 hours when it merges with the strong
trough off Atlantic Canada. After that time, the models show a slow
weakening trend. The NHC intensity forecast is in line with the
majority of the guidance and is fairly similar to the previous
forecast.
