#988415 (Received by flhurricane at: 10:35 AM 31.Oct.2019) TCDAT4 Subtropical Storm Rebekah Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192019 1100 AM AST Thu Oct 31 2019 The storm has lost organization since yesterday with only a skeletal curved band west and north of the center. However, ASCAT just came in with 35-40 kt winds, so the initial wind speed will stay 40 kt. Weakening is anticipated today as the low moves over cool waters and into a convergent environment aloft. All of the guidance shows any remaining convection dissipating by this evening, so the storm will likely be in the graveyard in about 12 h. A general eastward track is forecast until Rebekah decomposes into a trough sometime tomorrow, at best becoming a wave along an approaching cold front. Since Rebekah is not expected to be a tropical or subtropical cyclone near the Azores, hazard information can be found in regular products issued by the Portuguese Institute for the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) for those islands at https://www.ipma.pt/pt/index.html.
