offshore of the coasts of Central America and southern Mexico.
Environmental conditions appear favorable for some development of
this system thereafter while it moves generally westward to
west-northwestward at around 10 to 15 mph.

Tropical Storm Alvin Forecast Discussion Number 5

2 months ago
Issued at 200 PM MST Thu May 29 2025 808 WTPZ41 KNHC 292033 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Alvin Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP012025 200 PM MST Thu May 29 2025 Satellite imagery depicts that Alvin has continued to become better organized throughout the day, showing convective banding and a central dense overcast with cold cloud tops near -75C located over the low-level center. An earlier scatterometer pass shows wind speeds around 45 kt. Given the improving convective structure since that pass, and increasing objective satellite intensity estimates, the initial intensity has increased to 50 kt for this advisory. The initial motion is 320/10 kt. The storm is expected to continue moving toward the northwest today, then begin turning toward the north-northwest tomorrow as it moves around a ridge centered over central Mexico. By tomorrow night, Alvin will begin moving northward as it is influenced by a mid-level cut-off low. The NHC track forecast is very near the previous one. The storm will remain within a favorable environment of warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear over the next 12 hours or so. Given the latest convective trends and conducive conditions, the peak intensity forecast has increased this cycle to 60 kt. Tomorrow, Alvin will begin to move into a hostile environment with cooler SSTs, higher wind shear, and a drier mid-level airmass which will induce weakening. Latest model derived IR imagery from both the ECMWF and GFS depict the system becoming devoid of convection, and the latest NHC forecast depicts the system becoming a remnant low in 48 h. Thus, there is high confidence that the system will weaken to a remnant low before it nears the Baja California Peninsula.

SUMMARY OF 200 PM MST...2100 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...15.1N 107.2W ABOUT 565 MI...910 KM SSE OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...60 MPH...95 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 320 DEGREES AT 12 MPH...19 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...999 MB...29.50 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 PM MST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Alvin was located near latitude 15.1 North, longitude 107.2 West. Alvin is moving toward the northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h). This general motion is expected to continue through today, followed by a northward turn tomorrow and Saturday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Some additional strengthening is expected through early tomorrow, but weakening is expected to begin by late Friday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Alvin will affect portions of the coast of west-central Mexico and the coast of the southern Baja California Peninsula during the next couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 800 PM MST. $$ Forecaster Kelly/Mora
