Tropical Cyclone Discussion
743 WTPZ41 KNHC 272038 TCDEP1 Post-Tropical Cyclone Odalys Discussion Number 32 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP162026 200 PM PDT Sun Sep 27 2026 Odalys has lacked organized deep convection for about 12 hours, and the system has been a swirl of low-level clouds all day. Therefore, Odalys no longer meets the criteria of a tropical cyclone, and this is the last advisory on this system. A recent ASCAT-B pass from a few hours ago showed peak winds between 35 and 40 kt, and based on that data, the initial wind speed is lowered to 40 kt. Strong wind shear, dry air, and cool waters should cause continued weakening while the system turns southward or south-southwestward in the low-level flow. Dissipation is now shown by 72 hours, in agreement with all of the global model guidance. Distant moisture from both Odalys and Hurricane Polo will be transported into the southwestern United States during the next few days, and may indirectly contribute to a heavy rainfall and flash flooding in the region.
