SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Altata to Huatabampito Mexico A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within 12 hours. Interests elsewhere in the Mexican states of Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, and Sonora should closely monitor the progress of Ileana. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM MST (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ileana was located near latitude 25.2 North, longitude 108.9 West. Ileana is moving toward the north near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue today. A slower motion toward the north-northwest and northwest is expected tonight and on Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Ileana will move near or over the coasts of northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora during the next several hours, and then move over the Gulf of California roughly parallel to the coast on Sunday. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is forecast to begin later this afternoon or evening, and Ileana is likely to degenerate into a remnant low tonight. The remnant low is expected to dissipate by Monday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. The Mexican Navy station at Topolobampo recently reported sustained winds of 31 mph (50 km/h) and a wind gust of 40 mph (65 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Ileana can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP4 and WMO header WTPZ44 KNHC. RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Ileana is expected to bring additional rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches, with localized higher amounts up to 10 inches, across northwest coastal Sinaloa through this weekend. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Tropical Storm Ileana, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep4.shtml?rainqpf WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected across portions of the warning area in northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora through this afternoon. SURF: Swells generated by Ileana will affect portions of the Gulf of California coasts of Sinaloa, southern Sonora, and southern Baja California Sur during the next day or so. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

Issued at 800 AM MST Sat Sep 14 2024 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 141438 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Ileana Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092024 800 AM MST Sat Sep 14 2024 Satellite imagery shows that Ileana is being affected by increasing southwesterly shear. A large burst of convection that occurred in the early morning hours has moved northeast of the exposed low-level center, while new convection is forming to the north and southeast of the center. The initial intensity is held at 35 kt based on various satellite intensity estimates and earlier surface data from Topolobampo, Mexico. The initial motion is just east of due north or 010/6 kt. This general motion should continue for the next 6 hours or so, bringing the center near or over the coast of Mexico near Topolobampo and Los Mochis today. After that, Ileana should begin a slow motion toward the northwest over the Gulf of California roughly parallel to the coast of Mexico, with this motion continuing until the system dissipates. The new track forecast is nudged to the north and east of the previous track and lies near the various consensus models. Ileana is expected to weaken below tropical-storm strength later today due to a combination of shear and land interaction. However, before that happens, the cyclone should bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the northern coast of Sinaloa and southern coast of Sonora through this afternoon. The system is expected to degenerate to a remnant low between 12-24 h, with the remnant low dissipating over the central Gulf of California on Monday. Key Messages: 1. Tropical Storm Ileana will bring heavy rainfall to portions of coastal Sinaloa, Mexico through this weekend. This heavy rainfall will bring a risk of flash flooding and mudslides to portions of the area. 2. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area of northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora through this afternoon.

Issued at 200 AM MST Sat Sep 14 2024 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 140853 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Ileana Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092024 200 AM MST Sat Sep 14 2024 Ileana continues to produce bursts of deep convection, but a sharpening of the west side of the cloud canopy suggests stronger vertical shear is setting in. Maximum winds are still estimated to be 35 kt based on ASCAT data from last evening, and the fact that subjective and objective intensity estimates have not begun to decrease much quite yet. Ileana's center is moving northward over the southern Gulf of California, away from southern Baja California Sur, with an initial motion of 360/8 kt. A northward motion is expected to continue today, bringing Ileana's center near or over the coast of northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora around midday. The new NHC track forecast is a bit to the east of the previous prediction during the first 12 hours or so, mainly due to an adjustment of the initial position. The track guidance indicates that Ileana should slow down and turn north-northwestward and then northwestward tonight and on Sunday, generally running up the length of the Gulf of California. Although deep-layer shear is beginning to increase, several models, including the GFS and ECMWF, indicate that Ileana could maintain tropical storm intensity and bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the northern coast of Sinaloa and southern coast of Sonora later this morning and early afternoon. These same models, however, show Ileana's convection quickly being sheared away and dissipating by this evening and tonight as the cyclone moves into a much drier air mass. As a result, the NHC forecast shows Ileana degenerating into a remnant low in about 24 hours, with the remnant low dissipating over the central Gulf of California by early Monday. Key Messages: 1. Tropical Storm Ileana will bring heavy rainfall to portions of western Mexico through this weekend. This heavy rainfall will bring a risk of flash flooding and mudslides to portions of the area. 2. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area of northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora later this morning and afternoon.
