000 WTNT41 KNHC 070841 TCDAT1  Tropical Storm Wanda Discussion Number  30 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL212021 900 AM GMT Sun Nov 07 2021  Wanda is barely hanging on as a sheared tropical storm due to a  small burst of deep convection located in the southeastern quadrant.  The initial intensity has been maintained at 35 kt based on earlier  30-kt ASCAT data being co-located with the new burst of deep  convection. Little or no change in strength is expected during the  next 36 hours due to southwesterly vertical wind shear increasing to  more than 40 kt by 18-24 hours, and sea-surface temperatures  decreasing to less than 20 deg C beneath the cyclone. In the 18-24-h  period, Wanda is expected to merge with a rapidly approaching cold  front currently located to its west, becoming extratropical tonight  and dissipating over the far northeastern Atlantic on Monday.  The initial motion estimate is now 050/15 kt. There are no  significant changes to the previous forecast track and rationale.  During the next 24 hours or so, Wanda is expected to continue   accelerating northeastward ahead of a strong deep-layer trough and  associated cold front. After merging with the front system, the  extratropical low should maintain a fast northeastward motion until  it dissipates by 48 hours. The new NHC forecast track is very  similar to the previous advisory track, and lies close to the  tightly packed consensus track models.
