Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Thu Aug 1 2024

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Carlotta, located several hundred miles south-southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Western East Pacific (EP95):
A broad area of low pressure located well to the west-southwest of
the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula is producing some
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Marginal environmental
conditions are expected to limit development of this system during
the next couple of days. The low is forecast to meander over open
waters during the next day or so, then move northeastward by late
this weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

South of Central America and Southern Mexico:
A trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles to the south of
Central America and southern Mexico is producing a large area of
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. An area of low pressure is
expected to form from this system during the next day or so, and
thereafter environmental conditions appear conducive for additional
development. A tropical depression is likely to form by late this
weekend or early next week while the system moves westward to
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, remaining well offshore of the
coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Tropical Storm Carlotta Forecast Discussion Number 7

1 year ago
Issued at 800 PM MST Thu Aug 01 2024 805 WTPZ43 KNHC 020246 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Carlotta Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032024 800 PM MST Thu Aug 01 2024 Carlotta continues to hold steady. Geostationary satellite imagery show a healthy central dense overcast with periodic overshooting cloud tops. Recent microwave satellite imagery from AMSR2 and SSMIS reveal a more asymmetric low-level circulation. Subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates range between 48-61 kt, and the initial intensity is held at 55 kt. The storm is moving at an estimated 285/10 kt along the south side of a mid-level ridge centered over the southwestern United States. The strengthening ridge is expected to turn Carlotta westward within a day or so and steer the storm slightly north of west for the remainder of the forecast period. The official forecast has again shifted slightly northward, largely due to the estimated initial center location, and lies closest to the HCCA corrected consensus model. While the deep layer vertical wind shear appears to be weak, the microwave satellite imagery suggested Carlotta could be experiencing some moderate mid-level shear. Models indicate the generally conducive environmental and oceanic conditions should allow for additional strengthening within the next day or two. Beyond 48 h, cooling waters and more marginal environmental conditions should weaken Carlotta through the end of the forecast period. The intensity forecast remains similar to the previous forecast and lies near the top of the guidance envelope.

Tropical Storm Carlotta Forecast Discussion Number 6

1 year ago
Issued at 200 PM MST Thu Aug 01 2024 583 WTPZ43 KNHC 012046 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Carlotta Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032024 200 PM MST Thu Aug 01 2024 Carlotta has changed little in organization since the last advisory, with satellite imagery showing a well-defined central dense overcast with a complex of outer bands in the eastern semicircle. Objective and subjective satellite intensity estimates are mainly in the 45-55 kt range, and they have nudged upward a little over the past six hours. Based on this, the initial intensity is increased to 55 kt. The initial motion is now 285/10 kt. Carlotta is on the south side of a low- to mid-level ridge located over the southwestern United States and the adjacent northeastern Pacific. The ridge is expected to strengthen during the next day or two, and this should steer the cyclone more westward during this time. After about 60 h, Carlotta should move west-northwestward as it approaches a weakness in the mid-level part of the ridge caused by a large trough over the north Central Pacific. The track guidance has again shifted northward, and the new forecast track, which is in best agreement with the HCCA corrected consensus model, has also been shifted northward. Carlotta is expected to remain in an area of light shear for the next 48 h, with sea surface temperatures slowly decreasing along the forecast track during that time. Thus strengthening is expected, although the intensity guidance is forecasting less strengthening than on the previous cycles. Based on this, the forecast peak intensity has been decreased slightly, and the 85-kt peak intensity forecast is at the high end of the intensity guidance. After 48 h, increasing westerly shear and decreasing sea surface temperatures should cause Carlotta to weaken for the remainder of the forecast period.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 AM PDT Thu Aug 1 2024

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Carlotta, located a few hundred miles west-southwest of
Manzanillo, Mexico.

Western East Pacific (EP95):
An area of low pressure located more than a thousand miles to the
west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula
continues to produce disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity
around its center. Environmental conditions appear marginal for some
development of this system during the next couple of days while it
drifts slowly westward. By this weekend, environmental conditions
are forecast to become increasingly unfavorable, and further
development is not expected.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

South of Central America and Southern Mexico:
A trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles to the south of
Central America is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
An area of low pressure is expected to form from this system during
the next day or so, and thereafter environmental conditions appear
conducive for additional development. A tropical depression is
likely to form by this weekend or early next week while the system
moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, remaining
well offshore of the coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Tropical Storm Carlotta Forecast Discussion Number 5

Issued at 800 AM MST Thu Aug 01 2024 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 011449 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Carlotta Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032024 800 AM MST Thu Aug 01 2024 After intensifying over the past 12 to 18 hours, Carlotta is taking a brief pause as the inner-core becomes better established, though the system is still quite healthy looking on satellite imagery with plenty of curved bands around a formative central dense overcast (CDO). A blend of the latest subjective Dvorak intensity estimates still support an intensity of 50-kt this advisory, which is also roughly in the middle of objective intensity guidance. Carlotta continues to move west-northwestward at 295/10-kt. This motion is caused by a prominent deep-layer ridge located over the southwestern United States, and Carlotta may turn more back westward over the next few days as this ridge continues to strengthen. However by day 3 and beyond, the tropical cyclone will begin to feel a weakness to the north, which will likely result in a gradual slowdown in its forward motion and another gentle shift more poleward in the track. The latest track guidance is ever so slightly further north and faster compared to the previous cycle. Thus, the NHC track forecast has been shifted a bit in that direction, roughly in between the prior track forecast, and the reliable consensus aids TVCE and HCCA. Environmental conditions still appear quite favorable for intensification, with warm 28-29 C sea-surface temperatures (SSTs), and low to moderate shear between 10-15 kt out of the northwest. The rate of intensification may be determined more by how Carlotta's inner-core evolves, and there have not been any recent microwave images to diagnose the current structure. The SHIPS rapid intensification index is a little lower than last night, though this could also be in response to the temporary pause in the intensification. However the last few GOES-18 images suggest the CDO is becoming better established though an eye has yet to fully appear on first-light visible imagery. Even though the intensity guidance has shifted a little lower than last night, I have elected to keep the same intensification rate in the NHC forecast from the last cycle over the next 24 hours. This forecast is in better agreement with the regional-hurricane models HAFS-A/B versus the lower consensus aids that have been influenced by the lower SHIPS and LGEM guidance. After 48-60 hours, SSTs begin to markedly decrease along the forecast track, dropping under 26 C in 96 hours. Thus, the NHC intensity forecast shows gradual weakening between days 3 to 5.
