Issued at 500 AM HST Fri Aug 01 2025 102 WTPZ42 KNHC 011439 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Gil Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072025 500 AM HST Fri Aug 01 2025 Deep convection in the storm continues to pulse, though it is mostly concentrated in the southern and eastern quadrants. An AMSR2 pass from 0927 UTC showed a large curved band wrapping around much of the circulation. Subjective satellite estimates from TAFB and SAB both gave Gil a T3.5/55 kt. The initial intensity is held at 55 kt for this cycle based on these estimates. An ASCAT pass over the storm is expected later today which should help update the wind radii estimates. Gil is moving west-northwestward at about 14 kt along the southern side of a subtropical ridge to its north. This general motion should continue for the next few days. By the end of the forecast period, the weakened storm should turn more westward in the low-level flow. Minor adjustments have been made to the latest track forecast which lies slightly south of the previous prediction. Gil only has a short window of about 12 h to strengthen. Thereafter, the storm is expected to cross over cooler sea surface temperatures. By day 2, the vertical wind shear is expected to increase accompanied by falling mid-level humidities. These factors will gradually weaken the cyclone, which is now expected to become post-tropical by 60 h. The latest NHC intensity forecast still expects Gil to strengthen into a hurricane later today, however this prediction lies on the high end of the model guidance.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM PDT Fri Aug 1 2025

For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Iona, located in the central Pacific basin well west-southwest
of the Hawaiian Islands and Tropical Storm Gil, located well
southwest of the southern Baja California peninsula.

Well South-Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands (CP92):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms are associated with a trough
of low pressure located well south-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii.
Environmental conditions are becoming increasingly unfavorable, and
development is no longer anticipated.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.

Central East Pacific:
An area of low pressure is expected to form well southwest of
southwestern Mexico within the next day or two. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this
system, and a tropical depression is likely to form late this
weekend or early next week as the system moves west-northwestward at
10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

South of Southern Mexico:
An area of low pressure is forecast to form offshore of the coast of
Central America and southern Mexico by the middle part of next week.
Thereafter, environmental conditions appear conducive for some
development as the system moves generally west-northwestward at 10
to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

Tropical Storm Gil Forecast Discussion Number 5

1 month 2 weeks ago
Issued at 1100 PM HST Thu Jul 31 2025 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 010848 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Gil Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072025 1100 PM HST Thu Jul 31 2025 Geostationary satellite images indicate that Gil continues to become better organized underneath the southern portion of a central dense overcast that contains a fairly large area of -70 to -80 degree C cloud tops. Gil is also displaying banding features that wrap most of the way around the cyclone. The latest subjective Dvorak estimates are a consensus 3.5/55 kt from TAFB and SAB. Objective numbers from UW-CIMSS are a bit lower. Given continued improvement in organization over the past few hours, the initial intensity has been set to 55 kt, and this might be a tad conservative. ASCAT passes from 0437 and 0527 UTC were helpful in analyzing the wind field, and the data indicate that Gil's radius of maximum winds (RMW) is still about 50 n mi. The initial motion is west-northwestward, or 300/14 kt. A fairly strong mid-tropospheric ridge will continue to prevail to the north of Gil for the next few days, which should maintain the west-northwestward track, with additional acceleration expected over the next 36 h. The official forecast is very near the previous one and lies between the faster HCCA and the slower TVCE consensus aids. By late in the forecast period, the system will likely turn to a more westward track following the low-level flow. Gil should strengthen steadily over the next 12 to 24 h as the vertical wind shear decreases to the 0-5 kt range. The chance of rapid intensification is not very high since the RMW is currently 50 n mi, and the sea-surface temperatures that Gil is forecast to traverse are forecast to decrease quickly, crossing the 26C isotherm in about 24 h. Beyond 24 h, weakening is expected due to decreasing SSTs. In about 60 h, the west-southwesterly vertical wind shear is forecast to increase along Gil's path, and this should cause Gil to lose its convection and become post-tropical in about 3 days, as shown by the GFS and ECMWF simulated satellite solutions. The NHC intensity forecast is toward the high end of the intensity guidance during the first 36 h and down the middle of the guidance envelope thereafter.

of the Hawaiian Islands and Tropical Storm Gil, located well
southwest of the southern Baja California peninsula.

Well South-Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands (CP92):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with a trough of
low pressure located about 650 miles south-southeast of Hilo,
Hawaii, continue to persist. While the system currently lacks a
well-defined low-level center, some development is possible during
the next day or so. By this weekend, environmental conditions are
expected to become less conducive for further development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

Central East Pacific:
An area of low pressure is expected to form well southwest of
southwestern Mexico within the next day or two. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this
system, and a tropical depression is likely to form late this
weekend or early next week as the system moves west-northwestward at
10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

South of Southern Mexico:
An area of low pressure is forecast to form offshore of the coast of
Central America and southern Mexico by the middle part of next week.
Thereafter, environmental conditions appear conducive for some
development as the system moves generally west-northwestward at 10
to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

Tropical Storm Gil Forecast Discussion Number 4

1 month 2 weeks ago
Issued at 500 PM HST Thu Jul 31 2025 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 010235 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Gil Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072025 500 PM HST Thu Jul 31 2025 Gil is gradually becoming better organized, with increased evidence of banding features over the eastern and southern portions of the circulation. However, the low-level center of the storm has been partially exposed, possibly due to drier air being entrained into the core. Upper-level outflow is fairly well defined over the eastern and southern semicircles, but a bit restricted to the northwest. The current advisory intensity is raised to 50 kt based on a blend of subjective Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB and objective estimates from UW-CIMSS. In general, the objective intensity estimates are somewhat lower than the subjective values. The storm is continuing on a west-northwestward heading, but at a faster forward speed of around 13 kt. A fairly strong mid-tropospheric ridge is expected to prevail to the north of Gil for the next few days, which should maintain the west-northwest track. Most of the track guidance models indicate additional acceleration over the next 48 hours, and so does the official forecast. This is also in good agreement with the latest corrected consensus, HCCA, prediction. By late in the forecast period, the system will likely turn to a more westward track following the low-level flow. Further strengthening is likely while the tropical cyclone moves over sufficiently warm waters. Vertical wind shear is predicted to decrease to very low values during the next couple of days and the atmospheric environment should also remain moist during this time. However, SSTs along the path of Gil are likely to decrease below 25 degrees C in about 48 hours. This should somewhat counteract the other favorable environmental conditions. The marginal ocean temperatures are likely one of the reasons that the intensity guidance does not show a lot of strengthening. The official forecast is on the high end of the model guidance envelope, as in the previous advisory package.
