Issued at 500 AM HST Tue Jul 12 2022 350 WTPZ45 KNHC 121448 TCDEP5 Hurricane Darby Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052022 500 AM HST Tue Jul 12 2022 While Darby remains an impressively compact hurricane, there has been a bit of erosion in the inner-core convective structure this morning. The eye in particular has become less distinct and has cooled relative to yesterday afternoon, though the eyewall convection remains strong and quite circular. While an AMSR2 microwave pass at 1042 UTC still showed a closed eyewall, the convection on the northwestern side has eroded some compared to yesterday. Darby remains a very small tropical cyclone, with overnight scatterometer wind data indicating tropical-storm-force winds extend out to 40 n mi to the northeast of the center. While the latest TAFB/SAB Dvorak classifications were a consensus CI 6.0/115 kt, the objective ADT and SATCON data is quite a bit lower. The initial intensity on this advisory is set at 110 kt, blending the guidance, but favoring the somewhat higher subjective Dvorak estimates. While the current vertical wind shear (VWS) over Darby remains very low, sea-surface temperatures underneath the hurricane are gradually decreasing, now currently just under 27 C. It seems likely that Darby is now post-peak intensity and should begin to gradually weaken in the short-term under the less favorable thermodynamic environment. After 24 hours, a combination of an increasingly stable and dry airmass, plus an increase in southwesterly VWS from a broad upper-level trough to the northwest of Darby, is expected to lead to a more rapid weakening trend later this week. The latest NHC intensity forecast is still on the high side of the guidance envelope early on, but then shows a faster rate of weakening as the small cyclone encounters a more hostile environment. Darby is still expected to become post-tropical by 96 hours as deep convection is completely removed from the center and dissipates as suggested by the GFS and ECMWF models at that period. Darby continues to move on a due westward heading at 270/14 kt. There is not much new to report with the track philosophy, as a mid-level ridge currently north of Darby will be eroded some by the aforementioned upper-level trough. This should result in a bit more west-northwest bend in Darby's track between 24-60 hours. After that period, Darby is expected to become an increasingly shallow vortex, and its track should turn back westward following the trade-wind flow around a large low-level subtropical ridge poleward of Hawaii. The latest track forecast is little changed from the prior advisory, and remains close to the tightly clustered consensus aids.

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Darby, located more than 1300 miles west-southwest of the southern
tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Offshore of Southern Mexico:
A trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles south of the
coasts of Guatemala and El Salvador is producing a broad area of
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions
appear conducive for gradual development over the next several days,
and this system is likely to become a tropical depression later this
week into the weekend. The disturbance is forecast to drift
westward for the next day or two, then move west-northwestward at
10 to 15 mph later this week while remaining offshore of the
southern and southwestern coasts of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.

Hurricane Darby Forecast Discussion Number 9

3 years ago
Issued at 500 AM HST Mon Jul 11 2022 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 111454 TCDEP5 Hurricane Darby Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052022 500 AM HST Mon Jul 11 2022 What a difference 24 hours makes! Darby has been rapidly intensifying for the last 12-18 hours, with the eye continuing to clear out on GOES-17 infrared satellite imagery surrounded by a thick ring of cold -65 to -75C cloud top temperatures. It is clear that the tropical cyclone was able to mix out the remaining dry air near its center last night and the last several microwave passes from GMI at 0732 UTC and AMSR2 at 0959 UTC have an impressive presentation with a thick ring of eyewall convection on the 89-GHz channel. Subjective Dvorak satellite estimates from TAFB and SAB are constrained due to Dvorak rules, but their data-T numbers were both T5.5/102 kt. The most recent CI number from the UW-CIMSS objective Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) was at T6.0/115 kt. Favoring the higher ADT estimate more, the current intensity is set to 110 kt, though this could be conservative. There are no obvious signs currently that would prevent Darby from intensifying further. There are few indications that an eyewall replacement cycle is imminent from the earlier microwave imagery and SHIPS guidance indicates the storm remains in a very low shear (near 5 kt) environment and over sufficently warm sea-surface temperatures (27-28 C). Thus, rapid intensification is forecast to continue over the next 12 h, and the NHC foreast intensity peaks Darby at 120 kt, which matches the latest ECMWF- and GFS-based SHIPS which have correctly been on the high side of the guidance envelope. After 36 hours, Darby is expected to move into sub 26C SSTs, and westerly shear is forecast to increase between 48-72 hours. Thus, the small vortex of Darby could weaken rapidly after 36 hours, with the latest intensity forecast still making the system a post-tropical cyclone at the end of the forecast period. Darby is continuing westward along at the same general speed and heading at 270/13 kt, steered primarily by a mid-level ridge centered to its north. The hurricane is expected to approach a slight weakness in the ridge after 24 hours, allowing the cyclone to gradually shift to a more west-northwestward track between 36-72 hours. However, by the end of the forecast period, as Darby becomes shallow vortex, its track will likely bend back westward as the low-level trade wind flow becomes dominant. The latest track forecast is not all that different from the previous one, choosing to remain close to a consensus of the GFS and ECMWF forecasts (GEFX) which remains just a bit north of the consensus aids HCCA and TVCE, which are influenced by the further south tracks of the weaker HWRF/HMON/UKMET guidance.

Tropical Storm Darby Forecast Discussion Number 4

3 years ago
Issued at 500 AM HST Sun Jul 10 2022 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 101445 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Darby Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052022 500 AM HST Sun Jul 10 2022 Darby has become better organized this morning. A 0916 UTC AMSR2 and more recent 1216 UTC SSMIS microwave pass have revealed increased banding over the eastern semicircle of the storm and an improved low-level inner core structure. Early-light visible satellite imagery also shows an increase in banding and the development of a small CDO feature. Subjective Dvorak intensity estimates have responded accordingly and are now up to 45 and 55 kt from TAFB and SAB, respectively. Therefore, the initial intensity has been raised to 50 kt for this advisory. There still appears to be some entrainment of drier mid-level air over the northwestern portion of the circulation, but with low environmental shear and warm sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) ahead, Darby should be able to strengthen over the next 36-48 hours. The updated NHC intensity forecast shows a faster rate of strengthening during the first day or so, primarily due to the higher initial intensity. The new forecast calls for Darby to become a hurricane in about 24 hours, and then peak in intensity in a couple of days. After that time, gradually decreasing SSTs and a more stable environment should lead to steady weakening during the remainder of the forecast period. The NHC wind speed forecast is near the high end of the guidance during the first 24-48 hours and is in best agreement with the European-based SHIPS model. Thereafter, it is close to the various consensus aids. Darby continues to move westward at about 13 kt. The cyclone should continue on a westward motion to the south of a mid-level ridge extending westward from the northern portion of Baja California. In a few days the western portion of the ridge is forecast to weaken which should cause Darby to turn west-northwestward. The track guidance is in general agreement on this scenario, though the UKMET model depicts a much weaker Darby and shows a faster westward motion. The NHC forecast is closest to the ECMWF, which is a little slower than the consensus aids due to the contribution from the much faster UKMET model.
