Hurricane Fernanda Forecast Discussion Number 5

Issued at 200 PM PDT Sun Aug 13 2023 669 WTPZ42 KNHC 132037 TCDEP2 Hurricane Fernanda Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072023 200 PM PDT Sun Aug 13 2023 Satellite imagery indicates that small Fernanda has been strengthening rapidly today. A faint eye has become apparent on visible satellite imagery, and outer banding features are becoming better defined. Since the presence of a visible eye is usually a good indicator that a tropical cyclone has become a hurricane, the system is being upgraded on this advisory. This intensity is also in agreement with a Dvorak classification from SAB. The upper-level outflow pattern has also become more symmetric over the circulation. Fernanda continues moving west-northwestward at a slightly slower pace with an estimated motion of 285/8 kt. The mid-level ridge to the north of the tropical cyclone is currently rather weak due to the presence of a cutoff low near the California coast. Over the next few days, the ridge to the north of Fernanda is forecast to strengthen as the influence of the cutoff low lessens. As a result, the system should move somewhat faster to the west-northwest during the next 72 hours or so while turning westward later in the forecast period. The official track forecast remains very close to the previous one and is also very similar to the dynamical model consensus aid TVCE. The hurricane should continue to pass over SSTs of around 29 deg C for the next day or two while remaining in a very low vertical shear environment. The rapid intensification (RI) indices such as SHIPS, RII, and DTOPS continue to show a good chance of RI continuing over the next day or so. Thus, the official forecast will again call for RI over the next 24 hours. However, in about 48 hours, drier mid-level air should halt the strengthening process. The numerical guidance is in good agreement that Fernanda will steadily weaken in 2-5 days, and this is reflected in the NHC intensity forecast, which is fairly close to the latest corrected consensus prediction.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 AM PDT Sun Aug 13 2023

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Fernanda, located several hundred miles southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Western East Pacific (EP99):
Showers and thunderstorms are becoming better organized in
association with an area of low pressure located about 1400 miles
east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands. Environmental conditions
appear conducive for continued development, and a tropical
depression is likely to form during the next day or so as it moves
westward or west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. The system is
forecast to cross into the Central Pacific basin late tonight.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Off the Coast of Southern Mexico:
A tropical wave continues to produce a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms over the far eastern portion of the east
Pacific. Environmental conditions appear conducive for development
during the next several days, and a tropical depression is expected
to form by midweek while the system moves west-northwestward,
roughly parallel to the coast of southern and southwestern Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.

Tropical Depression Seven-E Forecast Discussion Number 1

2 years ago
Issued at 300 PM MDT Sat Aug 12 2023 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 122034 TCDEP2 Tropical Depression Seven-E Discussion Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072023 300 PM MDT Sat Aug 12 2023 Satellite images indicate that the area of low pressure located several hundred miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula has attained sufficient organization to be classified as a tropical depression. The last couple of microwave satellite overpasses show a similar scenario, with cold convective curved bands becoming better organized around a low-level center, which appears to be located near the northern edge of the convective cloud mass based on recent visible satellite images. The latest TAFB subjective Dvorak estimate is T-2.0. Based on these data, Invest 98E is upgraded to Tropical Depression Seven-E with an initial intensity of 30 kt. Weak mid-level ridging well to the north of the depression will steer the cyclone toward the west-northwest at about 10 kt over the next few days. Beyond 72 h, the ridge should strengthen enough to cause a turn to the west with a slight increase in forward speed. The NHC forecast track is in best agreement with the HCCA and TVCE consensus models. Environmental conditions are quite favorable for strengthening over the next 48-60 h, with warm ocean temperatures, low vertical wind shear and a relatively moist low to mid-level troposphere. The NHC forecast peaks the system at 75 kt in 48-60 h, which is near the middle of the intensity guidance. The ECMWF version of the SHIPS RI index shows a 52 percent chance of a 65 kt increase in winds over the next 72 h, so there is a chance the cyclone could strengthen more than forecast. After that time, the cyclone is forecast to move into a much drier environment along with slowly decreasing sea-surface temperatures. There is high confidence on significant weakening beyond 72 h due to the very dry airmass that the cyclone will be moving into.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 AM PDT Sat Aug 12 2023

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

Central East Pacific (EP98):
Showers and thunderstorms continue to become better organized in
association with a low pressure system located several hundred
miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula, and it appears that a tropical depression or tropical
storm could be forming. If these trends continue, advisories would
likely be initiated on this system later today. The low is expected
to move westward to west-northwestward at about 10 mph across the
central portion of the basin during the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Western East Pacific (EP99):
A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave is
producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms
well to the east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands. Conditions
appear conducive for development of this system, and a tropical
depression is likely to form during the next few days while moving
toward the west or west-northwest at about 10 mph across the far
western portion of the basin, crossing into the Central Pacific

America and the southern coast of Mexico in a couple of days from
a tropical wave currently moving across the southern portion of
Central America. Environmental conditions are expected to be
conducive for development of this system, and a tropical depression
is likely to form during the early or middle part of next week while
it moves generally west-northwestward, roughly parallel to the coast

1100 AM PDT Sat Aug 12 2023

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

Central East Pacific (EP98):
Showers and thunderstorms continue to become better organized in
association with a low pressure system located several hundred
miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula, and it appears that a tropical depression or tropical
storm could be forming. If these trends continue, advisories would
likely be initiated on this system later today. The low is expected
to move westward to west-northwestward at about 10 mph across the
central portion of the basin during the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Western East Pacific (EP99):
A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave is
producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms
well to the east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands. Conditions
appear conducive for development of this system, and a tropical
depression is likely to form during the next few days while moving
toward the west or west-northwest at about 10 mph across the far
western portion of the basin, crossing into the Central Pacific
basin late Sunday.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Eugene Forecast Discussion Number 10

2 years ago
Issued at 200 PM PDT Mon Aug 07 2023 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 072036 TCDEP1 Post-Tropical Cyclone Eugene Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP062023 200 PM PDT Mon Aug 07 2023 Eugene has not had any organized deep convection for over 12 hours now, and since it is over very cold water, no further thunderstorm activity is anticipated. Thus, Eugene has transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone, and this is the last NHC advisory. The initial wind speed is reduced to 30 kt, in accordance with the remaining Dvorak estimates. The system should gradually spin down and become a trough of low pressure in about 2 days. The remnants of Eugene should turn northward tomorrow into a break in the low- level ridge and slow down as it gets caught in weak steering flow. No significant changes were made to the NHC track or intensity forecasts. For additional information on the remnant low please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI, WMO header FZPN02 KWBC, and on the web at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFEPI.php FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS INIT 07/2100Z 25.1N 120.4W 30 KT 35 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW 12H 08/0600Z 25.7N 121.9W 25 KT 30 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW 24H 08/1800Z 26.3N 122.7W 20 KT 25 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW 36H 09/0600Z 27.0N 122.7W 20 KT 25 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW 48H 09/1800Z 27.8N 121.7W 20 KT 25 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW 60H 10/0600Z...DISSIPATED $$ Forecaster Blake
