Tropical Storm Erick Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052025
300 AM CST Wed Jun 18 2025
Satellite imagery indicates continued improvement in Erick’s
structure, with deep convection wrapping tightly within the
inner-core region. A recent AMSU microwave pass confirmed a
better-organized inner core, consistent with the observed
intensification trend. Although ASCAT data from several hours ago
sampled about 40-kt peak winds in the northeastern quadrant, Erick
has strengthened since that time. This is supported by the latest
subjective Dvorak classifications of T3.5 from TAFB and T4.5 from
SAB, while the objective ADT estimate from UW-CIMSS has increased to
near 60 kt and continues to rise. Based on a blend of these data,
the initial intensity is increased to 55 kt for this advisory.
Erick is moving northwestward at about 310/6 kt. This relatively
slow forward motion has persisted for the past several hours,
consistent with a weakening of the mid-level ridge to the north in
response to a mid- to upper-level trough progressing eastward across
the central United States. This general motion is expected to
continue through landfall, which is forecast to occur early Thursday
along the southern coast of Mexico. The track guidance remains in
good agreement, and confidence in the overall track is relatively
high. That said, small track deviations could still lead to
significant changes in where and when the strongest winds and
coastal impacts occur due to the oblique angle of approach. The
official forecast aligns closely with the consensus of the HCCA and
TVCE aids and remains near the previous NHC track.
The environment ahead of Erick remains highly conducive for
additional strengthening, with sea surface temperatures near 29 C,
low vertical wind shear, and abundant mid-level moisture. Several
dynamic regional models project Erick to reach major hurricane
strength before landfall, and the Rapid Intensification (RI)
guidance continues to indicate a significant chance for rapid
strengthening within the next 36 hours. The NHC forecast remains
near the upper end of the guidance envelope but could still be
somewhat conservative, especially if the current trend of improved
structure continues today.
KEY MESSAGES:
1. Erick is expected to rapidly intensify before reaching the coast
of southern Mexico on Thursday, and a hurricane warning is in effect
for portions of the coast of Oaxaca and Guerrero.
2. Erick will produce heavy rainfall across portions of Central
America and Southwest Mexico through this week. Life-threatening
flooding and mudslides are likely, especially in areas of steep
terrain.
3. A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding
near and to the east of where the center crosses the coast, in
areas of onshore winds.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 300 AM CST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Erick was
located near latitude 13.3 North, longitude 95.4 West. Erick is
moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h). A northwestward
motion with a gradual increase in forward speed is expected later
today or tonight. On the forecast track, the center of Erick is
expected to approach the coast of southern Mexico late tonight and
move inland or be near the coast on Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts. Rapid strengthening is expected today, and the system may
reach major hurricane strength when it approaches the coast of
southern Mexico Thursday.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.42 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Erick can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP5 and WMO header
WTPZ45 KNHC.
RAINFALL: Erick will produce rainfall totals of 8 to 16 inches, with
maximum totals of 20 inches, across the Mexican states of Oaxaca and
Guerrero. This rainfall will lead to life-threatening flooding and
mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain. Rainfall totals of
3 to 5 inches, with maximum totals of 8 inches, are expected across
the Mexican states of Chiapas, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Tropical Storm Erick, please see the National Weather Service Storm
Total Rainfall Graphic available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep5.shtml?rainqpf
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning
area early Thursday and possible in the hurricane watch area on
Thursday. Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical
storm warning area later today and tonight.
STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce coastal
flooding near and to the east of where the center crosses the coast
in areas of onshore winds. The surge will be accompanied by large
and destructive waves.
SURF: Swells generated by Erick are expected to begin affecting the
coast of southern Mexico later today. These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.

Tropical Storm Erick Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052025
900 PM CST Tue Jun 17 2025
Satellite imagery shows that Erick is becoming increasingly
well-organized. Deep convection has expanded and cooled, with
enhanced infrared imagery indicating cloud tops as cold as -85 C
near the center. A recent SSMIS microwave pass revealed an improved
inner-core structure, including a developing curved band. The latest
Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB were T3.0 and T4.0, respectively,
and objective ADT values are approaching T3.5. In addition,
just-received synthetic aperture radar data indicate winds near
50 kt. The initial intensity is increased to 50 kt for this
advisory to represent a blend of these estimates.
Erick is moving northwestward at about 310/6 kt. This slowing in
forward speed is consistent with a weakening of the mid-level ridge
to the north, caused by a mid- to upper-level trough progressing
eastward across the central United States. This general motion is
expected to continue through landfall, with only a gradual increase
in forward speed. The track guidance remains in good agreement and
continues to show the center of Erick approaching the coast of
southern Mexico within the next 24 to 36 hours. Although confidence
in the overall track is relatively high, small deviations could lead
to significant changes in where and when the strongest winds and
coastal impacts occur. The official forecast lies near the consensus
of the HCCA and TVCE aids and is very close to the previous NHC
track.
The environment ahead of Erick remains highly conducive for
additional strengthening, with sea surface temperatures near 29 C,
low vertical wind shear, and abundant mid-level moisture. Several
dynamic regional models bring Erick to major hurricane strength
before landfall, and the Rapid Intensification (RI) guidance
continues to indicate a significant chance for rapid strengthening
in the next 24 to 36 hours. The NHC forecast remains near the upper
end of the guidance envelope but could still be somewhat
conservative, especially if the current trend of improved structure
continues overnight.
KEY MESSAGES:
1. Erick is expected to rapidly intensify before reaching the coast
of southern Mexico on Thursday, and a hurricane warning is in effect
for portions of the coast of Oaxaca and Guerrero coast.
2. Erick will produce heavy rainfall across portions of Central
America and Southwest Mexico through this week. Life-threatening
flooding and mudslides are possible, especially in areas of steep
