Issued at 800 AM MST Thu Sep 04 2025 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 041438 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Lorena Discussion Number 11 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122025 800 AM MST Thu Sep 04 2025 Lorena has crossed the 26C sea-surface temperature isotherm and is now experiencing about 20 kt of southwesterly wind shear. Recent GMI and AMSR-2 microwave passes indicate that the center is now located near or just outside of the convective area, and the convection is beginning to get sheared off toward the northeast. The latest subjective intensity estimates from SAB and TAFB range from 55-77 kt, and the UW-CIMSS objective intensity estimates range from 50-62 kt. The initial intensity is lowered to 60 kt for this advisory, making Lorena a tropical storm. As Lorena continues to slowly gain latitude, it will progressively encounter colder water temperatures and stronger southwesterly shear. The latest NHC intensity forecast shows fairly quick weakening to a remnant low in about 36 h, in agreement with the guidance. This is a slightly faster rate of weakening compared to the previous official forecast. The remnant low should then dissipate completely in about 3 days, likely offshore, to the west of Baja California. The GFS model and all of NHC's consensus guidance (including the HCCA, Google DeepMind, and TCVE) have come onboard to the solution that the ECMWF, UKMET, and CMC models have been advertising for the past couple of days, which shows Lorena slowing down and dissipating offshore, to the west of Baja California. The only models that still bring Lorena's center into the Baja California peninsula are the HAFS models and the HMON (as a weak low, below tropical storm strength). As Lorena's convection gets stripped off toward the northeast, its path will soon be governed by the low-level steering currents, which should keep Lorena moving slowly offshore as it weakens. The new NHC forecast represents a large change from the previous forecast, and now keeps the center of Lorena offshore. Although the chance of sustained tropical-storm-force winds on land is starting to decrease, the rainfall and flash flooding threat for the Baja California peninsula is still significant. Abundant moisture will continue to stream northeastward away from the cyclone. Because of that, there is still a significant risk of heavy rainfall and flash flooding across portions of Baja California Sur, Sonora, southern Arizona and New Mexico. Key Messages: 1. Heavy rainfall associated with Lorena will continue to impact Baja California Sur and Sonora Mexico through Friday. This will increase the risk of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides across northwest Mexico. 2. Moisture from Lorena will contribute to heavy rainfall concerns across Arizona and New Mexico through Saturday. Isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding are possible across Arizona into Saturday. 3. The center of Lorena is forecast to move parallel to, but offshore of, the southwest coast of the Baja California Peninsula through tonight, and then could move closer to the west-central coast of the peninsula while it weakens on Friday. Tropical storm conditions, mainly in gusts, are likely along portions of the coast of Baja California Sur today through Friday, where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect. 4. Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions will affect portions of the southern and western coasts of Baja California Sur during the next couple of days.

Issued at 200 AM MST Thu Sep 04 2025 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 040852 TCDEP2 Hurricane Lorena Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122025 200 AM MST Thu Sep 04 2025 Lorena has become less organized since the last advisory due to the impacts of increasing vertical shear and decreasing sea surface temperatures underneath the hurricane. Earlier microwave imagery indicated that the eyewall had broken open, and current conventional imagery shows that the low-level center is now located near the southwestern edge of the convective mass. The various satellite intensity estimates are now trending down, and based on this the initial intensity is reduced to a possibly generous 70 kt. The initial motion is now a slower 320/7 kt. Lorena is expected to turn northward with a further decrease in forward speed later today as the cyclone moves farther into a break in the subtropical ridge. After that, the guidance is now considerably slower in moving Lorena to the north-northeast with the 00Z GFS now taking 60 h to reach Baja California Sur. The NHC forecast track is again slowed down significantly and blends the previous forecast with the new consensus models and the 00Z GFS. It should be noted that in contrast to the right turn of the GFS and the regional hurricane models, the ECMWF and Canadian models continue to show a left turn as Lorena approaches the coast that would keep the center offshore until the cyclone dissipates. Lorena should rapidly weaken in the increasingly unfavorable environment, with the cyclone now forecast to weaken to a tropical storm in 12 h or less. After that, the simulated satellite imagery from the 00Z GFS and ECMWF shows the cyclone should stop producing organized convection no later than 48 h, and this could happen earlier. The new intensity forecast now shows the system decaying to a remnant low by 48 h. Whether the system crosses Baja or stays over the cold Pacific waters, it is expected to dissipate completely by 96 h. Although Lorena is forecast to rapidly weaken, abundant moisture will continue to stream northeastward away from the cyclone. Because of that, there is still a significant risk of heavy rainfall and flash flooding across portions of Baja California Sur, Sonora, and southern Arizona and New Mexico. Key Messages: 1. Heavy rainfall associated with Lorena will continue to impact Baja California Sur and Sonora Mexico through Friday. This will increase the risk of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides across northwest Mexico. 2. Moisture from Lorena will contribute to heavy rainfall concerns across Arizona and New Mexico through Saturday. Isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding are possible across Arizona into Saturday. 3. The center of Lorena is forecast to move parallel to, but offshore of, the southwest coast of the Baja California Peninsula today, and then move closer to the west-central coast of the peninsula tonight and Friday. Regardless of the exact track, tropical storm conditions are likely along portions of the coast of Baja California Sur where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect. Tropical storm conditions are also possible late Friday along the east coast of the Baja California peninsula, where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect. 4. Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions will affect portions of the southern and western coasts of Baja California Sur during the next couple of days.

Issued at 1100 PM HST Wed Sep 03 2025 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 040852 TCDEP1 Hurricane Kiko Discussion Number 17 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112025 1100 PM HST Wed Sep 03 2025 The satellite presentation of Kiko has degraded some since the previous advisory, with the eye now mostly obscured by a central dense overcast with cloud top temperatures of -70 to -80C. Given the favorable environment that the cyclone is traversing, it is likely that Kiko is undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle at the moment. The most recent subjective Dvorak current intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB were 6.0/115 kt and 6.5/127 kt respectively, while the objective estimates from UW-CIMSS have ranged between 111 and 132 kt during the past several hours. Based on a blend of these data, the initial intensity has been held at 125 kt for this advisory, and Kiko remains a very powerful category 4 hurricane. Kiko is moving just south of due west, or 265 degrees, at 7 kt. This general westward motion is expected to continue through Thursday, as the cyclone is steered by a building subtropical ridge to its north and northwest. A turn toward the west-northwest is forecast by Friday as an upper-level trough north of Hawaii begins to erode the western portion of the subtropical ridge, with this general motion then continuing over the weekend and into early next week, along with a gradual increase in forward speed. There remains some along-track and cross track spread among the global models, although the spread has decreased considerably during the past 24 hours. A very slight northward adjustment has been made to the official track forecast, which remains in good agreement with a blend of the latest multi-model consensus aids. Kiko will remain over warm waters of 27–28C and influenced by mostly light vertical wind shear through around 60 hours. The surrounding environmental mid-level moisture will remain drier than optimal, hovering between 50 and 60 percent during the next couple of days, before dropping below 50 percent by 60 hours. Despite the somewhat dry mid-level airmass, the light vertical wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures should maintain Kiko as a major hurricane through day 3. There will likely be some fluctuations in strength during the next several days with the potential for eyewall replacement cycles during this time. By days 4 and 5, the cyclone will begin moving over cooler water with gradually increasing westerly vertical wind shear, and mid-level moisture plummeting below 40 percent. These factors should lead to steady and eventually rapid weakening of Kiko as the cyclone approaches the Hawaiian Islands from the east-southeast. Kiko will be influenced by environmental factors that can lead to the development of annular characteristics during the next few days along its approach, which can slow the rate of weakening. As a result, the official intensity forecast remains on the higher end or slightly above the intensity aids through day 5, and is very similar to the previous advisory.
