Hurricane Gilma Discussion Number 24
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072024
1100 PM HST Fri Aug 23 2024
Gilma continues to exhibit a central dense overcast pattern in
geostationary satellite images, though earlier microwave data did
show that the hurricane still had an eye feature. The objective and
subjective satellite intensity estimates have decreased a little
this cycle, and range from about 75 to 90 kt. Based on that data,
the initial wind speed is nudged downward to 85 kt. Gilma has a
compact appearance in satellite images, and the wind field is
estimated to be relatively small. The associated tropical storm and
hurricane-force winds are estimated to extend outward up to 100 n mi
and 30 n mi from the center, respectively.
The hurricane continues to move westward at a relatively slow 8 kt.
A westward to west-northwestward motion with a gradual increase in
forward speed is expected during the next several days as a
mid-level ridge builds to the north of the cyclone. There
continues to be along-track, or forward speed, differences in the
models, but they are all showing a similar theme. The NHC track
forecast is similar to the previous one and near the TVCE consensus
model.
Gilma is expected to remain over marginally warm waters and in a
low wind shear environment during the next day or two, so only a
little weakening is expected during that time frame. However,
after that time, a notable increase in westerly shear coupled with
a drier environment and slightly cooler waters should cause
steady weakening. The NHC intensity forecast shows Gilma falling
below hurricane strength by early Monday and degenerating into a
post-tropical low in about 4 days. This forecast lies roughly near
the middle of the guidance envelope.

Hurricane Gilma Discussion Number 23
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072024
500 PM HST Fri Aug 23 2024
Gilma's satellite depiction has changed very little since earlier
today, as the eye has become filled and now the center resides
beneath the central dense overcast (CDO) on both visible and
infrared imagery. Deep convection continues to burst within the
inner core with cold cloud tops to near -80 C, with generally good
outflow in all directions. The subjective and objective intensity
estimates have remained steady with this advisory as well, with a
current intensity (CI) of 5.0 from both SAB and TAFB. Given the
steady state of satellite imagery and the intensity estimates, the
initial intensity is held at 90 kt for this advisory.
The hurricane is continuing to move generally westward at an initial
motion of 280/8 kt. A ridge has started to build to the north of
Gilma, which will keep the system on a generally westward track,
with a gradual increase in forward motion. The track model guidance
is in fairly good agreement with the general direction the system
moves, however how fast that increase in forward speed occurs leads
to some along-track differences in the model suite, particularly at
the end of the forecast period. The official NHC track forecast is
near the previous forecast, just nudged slightly southward and
faster, near the consensus aids.
Gilma is in a low wind shear environment, however the system is
about to run into cooler sea surface temperatures with very little
ocean heat content beyond the next 24 h or so. As the system moves
over cooler waters it will also encounter a much drier and stable
airmass. These changes in oceanic and atmospheric conditions will
lead to gradual weakening over the next 24 hours followed by an
increasing rate of weakening through the end of the period. Towards
the end of the forecast period, conditions continue to become
unfavorable with upper-level westerly wind shear increasing, and
the GFS depicts the system struggling to produce convection,
becoming a remnant low at 120 h. The official NHC intensity forecast
is similar to the previous advisory, near the simple consensus

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Gilma was located
near latitude 17.5 North, longitude 128.4 West. Gilma is moving
toward the west near 9 mph (15 km/h). A generally westward motion
with an increase in forward speed is expected during the next
couple of days.
Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher
gusts. Weakening is forecast during the next several days, but Gilma
is expected to remain a hurricane through the weekend.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles
(185 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 970 mb (28.65 inches).

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Gilma, located well to the west-southwest of the southern tip of
the Baja California peninsula.
Central Portion of the East Pacific (EP92):
Shower and thunderstorm activity remains displaced to the west of an
area of low pressure located several hundred miles south-southwest
of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Upper-level
winds are forecast to decrease over the low during the next day or
two, and a tropical depression is expected to form this weekend or
early next week while moving toward the west or west-northwest at
around 10 mph.

Hurricane Gilma Discussion Number 22
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072024
1100 AM HST Fri Aug 23 2024
The satellite appearance of Gilma has decayed a little more since
the previous advisory, although a cloud-filled eye is still
present. The various objective and subjective satellite intensity
estimates are in the 80-100 kt range, and the initial intensity is
thus reduced to 90 kt in best agreement with the estimates from SAB
and CIMSS satellite consensus technique. The cyclone remains in an
environment of light shear with good anticyclonic outflow in all
directions.
The initial motion is now 275/8 kt. Gilma is slipping west of the
axis of the deep-layer trough near the west coast of the United
States, and a ridge is expected to build north of the cyclone during
the next few days as the trough lifts out. The track guidance is in
good agreement with a general westward or just north of westward
motion through the forecast period. However, the guidance has again
shifted a little southward, and the official forecast track will
again be nudged southward. While the guidance is in good agreement
on the direction, there is a notable spread in forward speed between
the faster GFS and the slower ECMWF. The new NHC track lies near
the consensus models, which split the difference in forward speed
between these two models.
Gilma's more westward motion is keeping it over warmer water for a
little longer in the short term, so little change in strength is
likely during the next 12 h. After that, the hurricane is expected
to cross the 26C isotherm in about 36 h while moving into a drier
and more stable airmass. This combination should lead to gradual
weakening, and the rate of weakening should increase after 48-60 h
when Gilma is expected to encounter westerly shear. The new
intensity forecast follows the general trend of the intensity
guidance with a faster rate of decay after 48 h than seen in the
previous forecast. The forecast still calls for the cyclone to
degenerate to a remnant low by 120 h.
