Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Mon Sep 15 2025

For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Mario, located a few hundred miles west-southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula.

Off the Coast of Southwestern Mexico:
An trough of low pressure located several hundred miles off the
coast of southern Mexico continues to produce a broad area of
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions
appear conducive for additional development of this system, and a
tropical depression is likely to form during the middle to latter
part of this week as it moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph
over the central east Pacific.
*Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
*Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

Tropical Storm Mario Forecast Discussion Number 14

1 day 19 hours ago
Issued at 800 PM PDT Mon Sep 15 2025 261 WTPZ43 KNHC 160234 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Mario Discussion Number 14 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132025 800 PM PDT Mon Sep 15 2025 After its strengthening episode earlier today, Mario has begun a weakening trend. There has been a dramatic decrease in the coverage and intensity of the associated deep convection, making Dvorak classifications problematic. The lastest subjective and objective intensity estimates vary substantially, and the advisory intensity is set at a rather uncertain 50 kt. Given the decrease in convection, this may be a generous estimate. Hopefully an upcoming scatterometer pass will provide more information on the strength of the cyclone. There is a fair amount of scatter in the center fixes, and my best estimate for initial motion is 310/11 kt. Mario should continue to move along the western periphery of a mid-level high pressure system centered over northern Mexico for the next couple of days. The official track forecast is just slightly to the right of the previous one and close to the latest corrected consensus model, HCCA, guidance. Mario will be traversing progressively cooler waters for the next couple of days, with the SSTs below the system dropping below 24 deg C by late tomorrow. Moreover, increasingly strong southwesterly vertical wind shear is expected to affect the system for the next 48 hours. The official forecast calls for the system to degenerate into a remnant low in 36 hours, however if the current trend in deep convection persists, this could occur sooner than that.

Tropical Storm Mario Forecast Discussion Number 13

2 days 1 hour ago
Issued at 200 PM MST Mon Sep 15 2025 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 152034 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Mario Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132025 Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 200 PM MST Mon Sep 15 2025 The satellite presentation has improved with Mario during the day, with a more circular central dense overcast and consistent convection. A recent 1838Z GPM microwave pass also shows the development of some inner-core features. Subjective and objective Dvorak estimates range from 45-65 kt, a bit higher than earlier, so the initial intensity is set to 55 kt for this advisory. Mario is now moving northwestward (305/11 kt), steered between a mid-level ridge over northern Mexico and a mid-level low to its northwest. The most notable thing about the track forecast is what happens when Mario becomes a remnant low in a couple of days. Model guidance has been leaning more to the northeast during the past few cycles as they seem to have caught onto a more vertically intact Mario. While the new official forecast has been shifted to the north, it remains on the western side of the model consensus, closest to the ECMWF and Google Deep Mind solutions. The intensity forecast is a little tricky for Mario with it soon crossing into cooler waters with higher shear. While the forecast shows weakening, it could hang on a bit stronger in the short-term if it is able to take advantage of its primitive inner-core. Mario should begin to weaken in earnest on Tuesday when it gets over cold waters with much higher shear, causing it to lose convection in about 36 h and totally dissipate by 72h. The new intensity forecast is similar to the previous one, between the model consensus and the HFIP Corrected Consensus model HCCA.
