Data for the post-advisory stage was sent to the author by Kevin Boyle. In the post-season "best track", Grace's peak MSW has been reduced to 55 kts. The TPC/NHC storm report dissipates post-Grace's circulation before reaching Wales; however, according to Julian Heming, observations suggest that there was a surface circulation at least up through 07/0000 UTC (landfall was approximately 06/2039 UTC). ************************************************************************* Storm Name: HENRI Cyclone Number: 10 Basin: ATL Date Time Lat Lon Cent MSW MSW Remarks (GMT) Press 1-min 10-min (mb) (kts) (kts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 09 OCT 06 1800 17.7 N 53.4 W 1007 35 09 OCT 07 0000 18.1 N 54.7 W 1006 40 09 OCT 07 0600 18.0 N 55.6 W 1005 45 09 OCT 07 1200 18.6 N 56.6 W 1007 40 09 OCT 07 1800 19.1 N 57.8 W 1008 35 09 OCT 08 0000 19.3 N 59.2 W 1009 30 09 OCT 08 0600 19.7 N 60.6 W 1009 30 09 OCT 08 1200 19.7 N 61.5 W 1010 30 09 OCT 08 1800 20.2 N 62.1 W 1012 25 Final NHC advisory 09 OCT 09 0000 21.0 N 63.0 W 1012 25 Remnant LOW 09 OCT 09 0600 21.0 N 63.0 W 1013 25 ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* NORTHEAST PACIFIC (NEP) - North Pacific Ocean East of Longitude 180 Sources of Information ---------------------- The track coordinates, central pressure and 1-minute average maximum sustained wind values were obtained from the operational forecast/advisories issued by the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, for locations east of longitude 140W, and from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, for locations west of longitude 140W.

S. Air Force and Navy, located at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The central pressure and 10-minute average maximum sustained wind estimates for most systems were obtained from warnings issued by the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA), which is the World Meteorological Organization's Regional Specialised Meteor- ological Centre for the basin. In a few instances, information from warnings issued by other Asian warning centers may have been utilized. The center position coordinates from JMA and other centers were com- pared with those from JTWC and annotations made in the Remarks column when the differences in general amounted to 40-50 nm or more.

IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ !!!!!! To repeat the caveat which is included in the Author's Note at the end of the cyclone summaries--the tropical cyclone tracks I prepare are based upon the operational warnings/advisories/ advices/bulletins which are issued by the various tropical cyclone warning agencies around the world. Users of these tracks should be aware that they are preliminary and subject to revision during post-seasonal analyses of the cyclones by the forecasters and analysts at the several warning centers. For the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific basins, official tropical cyclone reports and "best tracks" can be found at the website of the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center: The Joint Typhoon Warning Center's website contains links to their Annual Tropical Cyclone Reports which include that agency's "best tracks" for tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific basin, the North Indian Ocean, and the Southern Hemisphere: SPECIAL NOTE: Back issues of the global tropical cyclone summaries and monthly cyclone track files can be obtained at the following websites: PREPARED BY: Gary Padgett garyp@alaweb.com SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS BY: Michael V.
