Mexico.
Central Portion of the East Pacific:
Showers and thunderstorm activity has diminished somewhat with a
trough of low pressure located several hundred miles west-southwest
of southwestern Mexico. Environmental conditions only appear
marginally favorable for slow development of this system as it
moves slowly eastward to the south of the coast of Mexico through
the middle of this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

Tropical Depression Ten-E Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102024
900 PM CST Sun Sep 22 2024
Satellite images show that the depression is gradually becoming
better organized, with some convective banding features developing
around the circulation and a small area of very cold cloud tops
over the estimated center. Upper-level outflow is fairly well
defined over the southern semicircle of the system. Subjective
Dvorak classifications from both TAFB and SAB indicate a T-number of
2.0, so the advisory intensity is held at 30 kt for now.
Center fixes indicate little movement since earlier today, so the
initial motion estimate is nearly stationary. As noted earlier,
the track forecast for this tropical cyclone is quite problematic,
with a large spread in the guidance models. The regional hurricane
models are generally east of the global guidance, with the ECMWF on
the western side of the model tracks. The most recent run of the
GFS takes the cyclone inland in a couple of days but later
develops one or two new centers offshore. Since the dominant
steering mechanism seems to be the Central American Gyre, the
official track forecast shows a mainly east-northeastward motion
during the forecast period, along the southern periphery of the
Gyre. This track moves the center close to the southern coast of
Mexico for several days before making landfall, and lies between
the simple and corrected dynamical model consensus predictions.
During most of the forecast period, the system should remain over
very warm waters with low vertical wind shear and in a moist low-
to mid-level air mass. Therefore strengthening is likely, and the
official intensity forecast is similar to the statistical-dynamical
LGEM guidance. One major source of uncertainty in the forecast is
how much the system interacts with land during the next few days.
Given the favorable environment, it is possible that the system
could become a hurricane before landfall. Interests along the coast
of southern Mexico should closely monitor the latest forecast
updates for this system. A Hurricane Watch could be required for a
portion of the coast now covered by a Tropical Storm Watch.
KEY MESSAGES:
1. Slow-moving Tropical Depression Ten-E will bring very heavy
rainfall to coastal portions of southwest Mexico through the
upcoming week. This heavy rainfall will likely cause significant
and possibly catastrophic, life-threatening flash flooding and
mudslides to the Mexican States of Chiapas, Oaxaca, and southeast
Guerrero, particularly in areas near the coast.
2. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm later
tonight or on Monday. A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for a
portion of the coastline of southern Mexico, where tropical storm
conditions could begin on Tuesday.
3. The system could strengthen more than forecast depending on how
long it remains over water. Interests along the coast of southern
Mexico should monitor the latest forecast updates, as a Hurricane
Watch could be required for a portion of the coastline later tonight
or on Monday.

Tropical Depression Ten-E Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102024
300 PM CST Sun Sep 22 2024
Convection has gradually become better organized today in
association with an area of low pressure that the NHC has been
monitoring off the coast of southern Mexico. A recent scatterometer
pass shows the circulation is closed, with a well-defined center and
peak winds of about 30 kt over the southern semicircle. Therefore, a
new tropical depression has formed in the eastern Pacific basin.
The depression is nearly stationary, but a slow northeastward drift
is expected to begin later tonight. The track forecast is
challenging, as there is a large spread in the guidance regarding
the potential path of the system. Much of the track guidance shows
the system moving generally east-northeastward as it becomes
captured within the broader circulation of a developing Central
American Gyre. However, a couple of global models (ECMWF and UKMET)
instead show a northward drift over the next couple of days. The NHC
track forecast favors the first scenario, and generally lies between
the simple and corrected consensus aids. However, this track
forecast is of low confidence given the large spread in the models,
and adjustments will likely be required with future issuances.
The moist, unstable environment and very warm waters should be
conducive for some strengthening of the system during the next
couple of days. The NHC intensity forecast lies between the IVCN and
HCCA aids, but it should be noted that there are some models
indicating the system could reach hurricane strength. While this is
not explicitly forecast, it certainly cannot be ruled out given the
environmental and oceanic conditions, and interests along the coast
of southern Mexico should monitor the latest forecast updates. The
peak intensity of the system will be highly dependent on how long
the cyclone remains over water before reaching the coast, which is
quite uncertain given the track challenges described above.
Based on this forecast, the government of Mexico has issued a
Tropical Storm Watch for the southern coast of Mexico from Punta
Maldonado to Salina Cruz.
KEY MESSAGES:
1. Slow-moving Tropical Depression Ten-E will bring very heavy
rainfall to coastal portions of southern and southwestern Mexico
through the upcoming week. This heavy rainfall will bring a risk of
significant flash flooding and mudslides to the Mexican States of
Chiapas and Oaxaca, particularly in areas near the coast.
2. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm while
moving near the coast of southern Mexico on Monday or Tuesday. A
Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for a portion of the coastline,
where tropical storm conditions could begin on Tuesday.
3. The system could strengthen more than forecast if it remains
