Tropical Storm Mario Advisory Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132025
900 AM CST Fri Sep 12 2025
...MINI MARIO FORMS JUST OFF THE COAST OF MEXICO...
...TROPICAL STORM WATCH ISSUED FOR A PORTION OF THE STATE OF
MICHOACAN...
SUMMARY OF 900 AM CST...1500 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...17.2N 101.9W

MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1006 MB...29.71 INCHES
WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:
The government of Mexico has issued a Tropical Storm Watch from
Lazaro Cardenas to Punta San Telmo.
SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for...
* Lazaro Cardenas to Punta San Telmo
A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, in this case within 12 hours.
Interests elsewhere along the coast of southwestern Mexico should
monitor the progress of Mario.
For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM CST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Mario was
located near latitude 17.2 North, longitude 101.9 West. Mario is
moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this
motion is expected to continue through this evening. A slower
motion toward the west-northwest is forecast tonight through the
weekend. On the forecast track, the center of Mario should move
roughly parallel to the coast of Mexico through tonight, and then
begin to move farther away from the coast on Saturday.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph (65 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during
the next couple of days.
Mario is a tiny tropical storm, and tropical-storm-force winds
extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) to the north of the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Mario will lead to rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches, with
local amounts of 6 inches, across southern Mexico through Sunday.
This brings a risk of flash flooding, especially in areas of higher
terrain.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding
associated with Mario, please see the National Weather Service Storm
Total Rainfall Graphic, available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep3.shtml?rainqpf
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible along portions of the
coast of Michoacan today. Gusty winds are possible elsewhere along
coastal portions of the states of Guerrero, Michoacan, and Colima
through tonight.

Tropical Depression Thirteen-E Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132025
300 AM CST Fri Sep 12 2025
The depression remains poorly organized tonight, with only small
areas of convection bursting to the west of the estimated low-level
center. Recent scatterometer data and surface observations indicate
the circulation remains very small. While believable scatterometer
winds up to about 30 kt were noted offshore in the northern
semicircle of the circulation, observations from the Acapulco
International Airport indicated these winds did not reach the coast
when the system made its closest approach earlier tonight. Since the
overall satellite presentation has slightly worsened since the
earlier scatterometer pass, the initial intensity is held at 30 kt.
The initial motion is west-northwestward (295/10 kt), and the system
should maintain this heading during the next couple of days while
being steered by a mid-level ridge centered over northern Mexico.
Later this weekend through early next week, the system is forecast
to move toward the northwest as it rounds the southwestern portion
of the steering ridge. The NHC track forecast through 60 h has been
nudged slightly northward this cycle, in agreement with the latest
multi-model consensus aids.
In the near term, only modest strengthening is forecast due to the
system's close proximity to land. Some models, including the GFS and
ECMWF, completely lose the circulation later today. But if the
system remains offshore and survives its close passage to the
southwestern coast of Mexico, the environment should become somewhat
more favorable for strengthening with weaker shear conditions over
warm waters. Overall, the intensity guidance trended much lower this
cycle. The updated NHC intensity forecast reflects this trend, but
remains on the high end of the guidance envelope. Future downward
adjustments may be necessary, and it cannot be ruled out that the
system dissipates before the end of the 5-day forecast period.
Key Messages:
1. Heavy rainfall associated with Tropical Depression Thirteen-E
will impact southern and southwestern Mexico through Sunday, which
could result in flash flooding, particularly in areas of higher
terrain.
2. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm today while
moving parallel to the southwestern coast of Mexico. While the
strongest winds are expected to remain offshore, gusty winds are
possible along portions of the southwestern coast of Mexico from
Acapulco to Manzanillo during the next day or so. Interests in these
areas should monitor the progress of this system.

Tropical Depression Thirteen-E Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132025
900 PM CST Thu Sep 11 2025
The satellite appearance of Thirteen-E has improved some since the
previous advisory, with deep convection continuing to burst over or
near the estimated low-level center. The latest subjective Dvorak
current intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB were 2.5/35 kt and
2.0/30 kt. Meanwhile the objective estimates from UW-CIMSS have
ranged from 28 to 35 kt since the previous advisory. Based on a
blend of these data, the initial intensity has been held, perhaps
conservatively, at 30 kt for this advisory package.
The depression is moving to the west-northwest, or 290 degrees, at
10 kt. This general motion is expected to continue for the next
couple days, as the cyclone is steered by a mid-level ridge over
northern Mexico and Texas. A turn toward the northwest along with a
decrease in forward speed is expected over the weekend, as the
system moves along the southwestern periphery of the mid-level
ridge, with that motion continuing through day 5. The official
track forecast lies is very close to the previous advisory, roughly
between the corrected consensus HCCA and AI-Driven GDMI track aids.
The circulation of Thirteen-E remains very small, with an estimated
radius of the outermost closed isobar only 80 n mi, and this may be
generous. In the next couple of days, the global models suggest
that moderate northeasterly vertical wind shear, along with the
proximity to land, should limit the system's ability to intensify
significantly, and the intensity forecast only calls for some slow
strengthening. Over the weekend, environmental conditions should
become more favorable for intensification, as the system will be
farther offshore, over very warm water and surrounded by moist
mid-level air, while vertical wind shear will drop off to light
levels and become aligned with the motion of the cyclone. This
should lead to steady strengthening, with the system forecast to
become a hurricane by 72 hours. By day 5, cooler sea surface
temperatures and drier more stable environment should lead to a
weakening trend. The official intensity forecast lies on the higher
end of the intensity guidance envelope and closest to the AI-Driven
GDMI intensity aid.
Key Messages:
1. Heavy rainfall associated with Tropical Depression Thirteen-E
will impact southern and southwestern Mexico through Sunday, which
could result in flash flooding, particularly in areas of higher
terrain.
2. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm later
tonight, while moving parallel to the southern and southwestern
coasts of Mexico. While the strongest winds are expected to remain
offshore, gusty winds are possible along portions of the southern
and southwestern coast of Mexico from Punta Maldonado through
Manzanillo during the next day or so. Interests in these areas
should monitor the progress of this system.
