Issued at 1000 AM CDT Sat Jun 18 2022 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 181439 TCDEP3 Tropical Depression Celia Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032022 1000 AM CDT Sat Jun 18 2022 After exhibiting a mostly exposed low-level swirl on overnight satellite imagery, this morning a small but deep burst of convection has formed just to the west of the center of Celia. Yet, this activity does not have much organization and already appears to be impacted by significant easterly vertical wind shear over the system currently. Morning satellite intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB are at 35 kt and 30 kt, with objective estimates from ADT and SATCON at 25 kt and 36 kt respectively. The initial intensity will remain 30 kt for this advisory. Celia's long awaited left turn appears to be underway, with the motion now at 290/4 kt. A building ridge to the north of Celia should continue this westward turn in its track as the deep-layer steering flow vector shifts out of the east. In general, a westward motion is anticipated through the forecast period, though with a more southward inflection over the next 48 hours, and a more northward inflection thereafter. The new forecast track is just a touch north of the various consensus aids (TVCE, HCCA) and is changed little from the previous forecast. Greater than 20 kt of easterly shear is forecast to continue affecting Celia for at least the next 36-48 hours. For this primary reason, the depression is expected to only maintain its intensity, and it is quite possible the center may become stretched-out or reform down-shear to the west where the deep-convective activity should remain focused. After 48 hours, the easterly shear is forecast to gradually subside, and Celia could have an opportunity to intensify. The intensity forecast is essentially a carbon copy of the previous one, and is in general agreement with the consensus aids. Key Messages: 1. Areas of heavy rainfall are expected north of Celia's track across portions of far southern Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador through Sunday. This rainfall may cause some instances of flash flooding and mudslides across the region. 2. Interests along the coasts of El Salvador, Honduras, and southeastern Mexico should continue to monitor the progress of this system, although the chances of direct wind impacts continue to decrease.

Tropical Storm Blas Forecast Discussion Number 18

3 years 1 month ago
Issued at 900 AM MDT Sat Jun 18 2022 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 181432 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Blas Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022022 900 AM MDT Sat Jun 18 2022 Blas continues to weaken and is quite disorganized this morning. Satellite images show a partially exposed low-level center with deep convection confined to the southeastern quadrant of the circulation. A blend of the latest Dvorak values from TAFB, SAB, and CIMSS at the University of Wisconsin support nudging the intensity down to 50 kt for this advisory. The tropical storm is moving slowly west-northwestward at about 4 kt. A continued slow westward to west-northwestward motion within the low- to mid-level flow is expected to continue through the middle of next week. The models have trended slower this cycle, and the NHC track forecast has been adjusted accordingly to be positioned closer to the various consensus aids. Although the current shear over Blas could decrease some, the storm is headed over progressively cooler waters and moving into an environment of increasingly stable atmospheric conditions. These factors should continue the weakening trend, and Blas will likely become a shallow remnant low in a couple of days. The NHC intensity forecast is an update of the previous one, and is in line with the majority of the guidance. Swells associated with Blas are still causing dangerous surf and rip currents along the coasts of southwestern Mexico and the southern part of the Baja California peninsula. These conditions should subside tonight.

Tropical Storm Celia Forecast Discussion Number 4

3 years 1 month ago
Issued at 1000 AM CDT Fri Jun 17 2022 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 171457 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Celia Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032022 1000 AM CDT Fri Jun 17 2022 The satellite presentation of the system has improved somewhat this morning, with a well-defined band in its western semicircle and some deep convection persisting near and just west of the estimated center. Subjective intensity estimates are up to 35 kt from SAB and 45 kt from TAFB, while the most recent objective intensity estimates from UW-CIMSS were in the 40-45 kt range. There were also a few wind retrievals from overnight scatterometer imagery in the 34-36 kt range. The initial intensity has been set to a possibly conservative 35 kt for this advisory, upgrading Tropical Depression Three-E to Tropical Storm Celia. Celia still appears to be drifting generally northward, with the initial motion estimated at 020/4 kt. As discussed in the prior advisory, the storm is currently embedded within weak steering currents as a result of being a small vortex embedded within a much broader low-level cyclonic circulation centered over Central America, causing Celia to drift just east of due north over the past 12-18 hours. Possibly due to this small size, the model guidance does not have a good handle on the current position or structure of the cyclone. For example, the latest GFS run places Celia about 150 nm west of its actual position. The latest ECMWF run was closer to the correct position but barely depicts Celia as a distinct entity within the larger gyre circulation. Even the higher-resolution regional hurricane models are struggling to depict this cyclone. Given these difficulties, the short-term track forecast is quite problematic, with the track guidance spread more than double the typical climatological value in the 24-48 hour period. Generally the guidance has shifted further south this cycle, when Celia is expected to be steered by a building mid-level ridge and perhaps some low-level flow enhanced by a gap wind event in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. The track forecast this advisory follows suit, and is further south than the previous advisory after 36 hours, but still is not as far south as the reliable consensus aids. Given all the complicating factors above, this track forecast is of low confidence. The substantial uncertainty in the track forecast also applies to the current intensity forecast with Celia. Easterly vertical wind shear is already starting to increase over the system, as suggested by both GFS- and ECMWF- based SHIPS guidance, and is forecast to be above 20 kt in 24-36 hours. The GFS model, which seems to be best capturing Celia's current structure, quickly shears off the current deep convection to the east due to the increasing upper-level flow. In addition, current sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) under the cyclone are already marginal (26-27 C) and could cool further over the next 36 hours given Celia's slow motion. The intensity guidance this cycle is lower than the previous one for the first 48-72 hours, and only some slight additional intensification is anticipated before these negative factors limit Celia's intensity. Towards the end of the forecast period, the shear is expected to decrease and SSTs warm, which could provide an opportunity for the storm to began intensifying again. However, it is also possible the negative factors indicated above may result in Celia weakening or degenerating into a remnant low, devoid of organized convection, as suggested by the ECMWF solution. Key Messages: 1. Areas of heavy rainfall are expected north of Celia's track across portions of far southern Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador through Sunday. This rainfall may cause some instances of flash flooding and mudslides across the region. 2. Interests along the coasts of El Salvador, Honduras, and southeastern Mexico should monitor the progress of this system. While Celia is expected to stay offshore, any motion to the north of the current forecast track, or increase in size could require a tropical storm watch or warning for part of this area.

Hurricane Blas Forecast Discussion Number 14

3 years 1 month ago
Issued at 900 AM MDT Fri Jun 17 2022 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 171445 TCDEP2 Hurricane Blas Discussion Number 14 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022022 900 AM MDT Fri Jun 17 2022 Blas has become a little better organized this morning. Microwave data from overnight showed an eye feature and numerous curved bands, especially south of the center. Since then, deep convection has been increasing and has become a bit more symmetric around the center. The latest Dvorak estimates range from 77 to 90 kt, and the initial intensity is nudged up to 80 kt based on that data. The hurricane continues to move west-northwestward, or 295 degrees, at 12 kt. Blas is being steered by a strong mid-level ridge centered over the south-central U.S. The hurricane is expected to slow down on Saturday and turn westward on Sunday as the system weakens and becomes increasingly steered by the lighter low-level flow. This slow westward motion is forecast to continue through the middle of next week. The NHC track forecast is nudged to the north of the previous one to be in better agreement with the latest consensus aids. Blas is currently in favorable conditions for strengthening, but that is not expected to last much longer. The hurricane should cross the 26 degree C isotherm later today and move over progressively cooler waters during the next several days. In addition, Blas will be moving into an environment of increasingly more stable and dry air. These conditions should promote a steady weakening trend, and Blas will likely become a shallow post-tropical system in a few days. The NHC intensity is forecast is a touch higher than the previous one, due to the slightly stronger initial intensity. While Blas is moving farther away from the coast of Mexico, its associated swells are expected to continue to affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico for another day or so. These swells are expected to spread to parts of the southern Baja California peninsula later today and continue through the weekend. These conditions are likely to cause dangerous surf and rip currents in those areas.
