Issued at 1100 PM MST Tue Sep 02 2025 000 WTPZ32 KNHC 030530 TCPEP2 BULLETIN Tropical Storm Lorena Intermediate Advisory Number 5A NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122025 1100 PM MST Tue Sep 02 2025 ...LORENA STRENGTHENING AND EXPECTED TO BECOME A HURRICANE DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS... SUMMARY OF 1100 PM MST...0600 UTC...INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------- LOCATION...20.7N 110.0W ABOUT 155 MI...250 KM S OF CABO SAN LUCAS MEXICO MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...70 MPH...110 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 315 DEGREES AT 14 MPH...22 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...994 MB...29.36 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY: None. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * West Coast of Baja California Sur from Cabo San Lucas northward to Cabo San Lazaro A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours. Interests elsewhere on the Baja California peninsula and in southwestern Mexico should monitor the progress of Lorena. Additional watches or warnings may be required on Wednesday. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 PM MST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Lorena was located near latitude 20.7 North, longitude 110.0 West. Lorena is moving toward the northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this motion with a decrease in forward speed is expected through early Thursday. A generally slow northward motion is expected to begin by late Thursday and continue into late Friday. On the forecast track, the center of Lorena is expected to move parallel to the west coast of the Baja California peninsula on Wednesday and Thursday and then could approach the coast on Friday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is forecast during the next day or so, and Lorena is likely to become a hurricane during the next several hours. Fast weakening is expected to begin on Thursday, and Lorena could be back to tropical storm status by early Friday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Lorena can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP2 and WMO header WTPZ42 KNHC. RAINFALL: Bands of heavy rainfall are expected to begin impacting Baja California Sur by Wednesday and southwestern Sonora by Thursday, with this rainfall potentially persisting through Friday. Rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with maximum amounts of 15 inches, are possible across portions of Baja California Sur through Friday. Significant flash flooding is a possibility. Within the moisture surge ahead of Lorena, 1 to 2 inches of rain, with localized totals to 4 inches, are expected from the northwest Mexico states of Colima to Sinaloa northward into Arizona through Friday, bringing the potential for isolated to scattered pockets of flash flooding. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Tropical Storm Lorena, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep2.shtml?rainqpf WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area on Wednesday and Thursday. SURF: Swells generated by Lorena will affect portions of the west coast of Baja California Sur beginning tonight and continuing through Friday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

Tropical Storm Lorena Forecast Discussion Number 5

2 weeks 1 day ago
Issued at 800 PM MST Tue Sep 02 2025 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 030242 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Lorena Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122025 800 PM MST Tue Sep 02 2025 A pair of AMSR2 and GMI microwave passes from several hours ago revealed that Lorena's structure has improved significantly through the day, with the 37-GHZ channel in particular showing a well-defined cyan ring. The center is embedded beneath a Central Dense Overcast, and Dvorak intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB are a consensus T3.5/55 kt. This is also supported by some of the UW-CIMSS objective numbers, and the initial intensity is therefore set--possibly conservatively given the structure--at 55 kt. Lorena has a low-level structure and small size that would make it a prime suspect for rapid intensification, especially since it will be in an environment of low shear and over warm ocean temperatures for the next 36 hours. In fact, the SHIPS Rapid Intensification (RI) index now shows a 3 in 4 chance of a 30-kt increase in Lorena's winds over the next 24 hours. The NHC intensity forecast therefore explicitly shows RI during the next day or so and most closely follows the SHIPS and LGEM models, which are the highest guidance, during that time. After 36 hours, increasing shear and colder water temperatures are expected lead to weakening, which itself could be rapid due to Lorena's small size. Although there is significant uncertainty on where Lorena will end up in 4-5 days (see discussion below), the cyclone will likely not exist anymore by day 5, and that is when dissipation is shown in the forecast. Lorena continues to move northwestward, or 315/12 kt. The first 36 hours or so of the track forecast are fairly straightforward, with a slower northwestward motion expected while the cyclone moves around the western periphery of a mid-level high centered over Mexico. Things are trickier after 36 hours. Lorena will be moving through a weakness in the subtropical ridge, but how much northward progress it makes will depend on how long it remains strong. A minority of models, particularly the GFS, keep a stronger Lorena moving northeastward across the Baja California peninsula toward Sonora. However, moderate to strong southwesterly shear is likely to set in over Lorena in 48-72 hours, and a good chunk of the other models, including many of the GEFS ensemble members, keep a weakening Lorena offshore the west coast of the Baja California peninsula with landfall never occurring. This new NHC forecast blends the previous official forecast with the latest HCCA, Florida State Superensemble, and GEFS ensemble mean, showing a slower motion on day 4 and 5, and introducing the possibility that Lorena doesn't reach mainland Mexico as a tropical cyclone. Key Messages: 1. Heavy rainfall associated with Tropical Storm Lorena will begin to affect Baja California Sur on Wednesday, southwestern Sonora by Thursday, and contribute to heavy rainfall concerns across Arizona late Wednesday through Friday. This will increase the risk of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides across Mexico, especially in areas of higher terrain. Isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding are possible across Arizona through Friday. 2. Although rapid intensification is possible through Wednesday while Lorena is offshore, the storm is expected to weaken while it approaches the Baja California peninsula on Thursday and Friday. Regardless, tropical storm conditions are possible through Thursday along portions of the west coast of Baja California Sur. Interests in Baja California Sur should closely monitor the latest forecast updates.

Hurricane Kiko Forecast Discussion Number 12

2 weeks 1 day ago
Issued at 500 PM HST Tue Sep 02 2025 892 WTPZ41 KNHC 030233 TCDEP1 Hurricane Kiko Discussion Number 12 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112025 500 PM HST Tue Sep 02 2025 Recent satellite images show that the low-level center of Kiko is now obscured by a large central dense overcast, possibly due to an increase in northeasterly vertical wind shear, with the outflow now somewhat restricted in the eastern semi-circle. A 02/2155Z AMRS2 microwave pass indicated that the cyclone continues to have a well-defined inner-core, with a break in the eyewall evident in the northwest quadrant at that time. The most recent subjective Dvorak current intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB were both 5.0/90 kt, while the objective estimates from UW-CIMSS have ranged between 72 and 92 kt during the past several hours. Taking a blend of these data, the initial intensity for this advisory has been raised to 90 kt. Kiko is moving due west, or 270 degrees, at 6 kt. This general motion is expected to continue during the next 60 hours or so, as the cyclone is steered by a building subtropical ridge to its north and northwest. A turn toward the west-northwest is forecast by day 3 as an upper-level trough north of Hawaii begins to erode the western portion of the subtropical ridge, with this general motion then continuing through day 5. There remains considerable along-track spread among the global models, with the GFS and ECMWF still showing a 240 n mi difference in position on day 5. The official track forecast remains in good agreement with a blend of the latest multi-model consensus aids and is nearly on top of the previous advisory, but with a slightly faster forward speed. Kiko will remain over warm waters of 27–28C and influenced by most light vertical wind shear through day 3. The surrounding environmental mid-level moisture will remain drier than optimal, hovering between 50 and 60 percent through day 3, then trending below 50 percent by days 4 and 5. Despite the drier mid-level airmass, the light vertical wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures should maintain Kiko as a robust hurricane through day 3, with it likely being a major hurricane for much of that time. By days 4 and 5, the cyclone will begin moving over cooler water with gradually increasing westerly vertical wind shear. This should lead to a steady weakening trend, but Kiko is still forecast to be a hurricane at day 5. The official forecast is on the higher end of the intensity guidance suite, and is most closely aligned with the HCCA and regional hurricane model intensity aids.
