Issued at 500 AM HST Fri Aug 23 2024 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 231434 TCDEP2 Hurricane Gilma Discussion Number 21 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072024 500 AM HST Fri Aug 23 2024 The cloud pattern associated with Gilma has lost some organization since the last advisory, with the eye become less distinct and the central dense overcast becoming more ragged. The various objective and subjective satellite intensity estimates have trended downward during the past 6 h, and based on these data the initial intensity is decreased to 100 kt. The westward jog mentioned in the previous advisory continues, with the initial motion now 275/7 kt. A deep-layer trough north of Gilma near the west coast of the United States is expected to lift out over the next couple of days, which will allow a high pressure ridge to gradually build westward over the eastern North Pacific. As a result, Gilma should move generally west-northwestward to westward at a faster forward speed during the next several days. Due to the current westward jog, the guidance envelope has shifted a little to the south and west since the previous advisory. Based on this guidance, the new track forecast, which lies close to the consensus models, will also shift a bit to the south. Gilma is gradually moving toward cooler water, with the center expected to cross the 26C isotherm in about 36 h. The hurricane is also moving into a drier and more stable air mass. This combination should lead to gradual weakening for the next 60 h or so. Beyond that time, increasing shear and sea surface temperatures near 25C should cause a faster weakening rate, and Gilma is now expected to degenerate to a remnant low by 120 h. The new intensity forecast follows the trend of the intensity guidance, but is nudged downward a little from the previous forecast.

Issued at 1100 PM HST Thu Aug 22 2024 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 230838 TCDEP2 Hurricane Gilma Discussion Number 20 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072024 1100 PM HST Thu Aug 22 2024 The satellite presentation of Gilma has not changed much since the previous advisory. The ragged eye of the hurricane is still surrounded by deep convection, with the coldest cloud tops located over the western and southern portions of the inner core. Based on consensus T-5.5/102 kt Dvorak current intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB, and similar estimates from the various UW-CIMSS objective techniques, the initial intensity is held at 105 kt. The center of the hurricane has jogged westward during the past few hours, but the longer-term motion is still west-northwestward at about 5 kt. A deep-layer trough near the west coast of the United States is expected to lift out over the next couple of days, which will allow a high pressure ridge to build westward over the eastern North Pacific. As a result, Gilma should gradually move faster toward the west-northwest and west during the next several days. The track guidance remains tightly clustered, and the NHC forecast is essentially an update of the previous one with no notable changes. As previously discussed, the slow forward speed of Gilma is likely resulting in some upwelling of cooler waters underneath the hurricane. Although the vertical wind shear is forecast to remain relatively weak during the next couple of days, the track of Gilma will bring the hurricane over even cooler waters and into a drier mid-level environment by this weekend. These factors suggest at least gradual weakening should continue in the near term, followed by more significant weakening beyond 72 h as the cyclone encounters stronger shear and the upper air pattern becomes more convergent. Some slight downward adjustments were made to the NHC prediction later in the period. Gilma is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone by 120 h, but the lack of organized convection in GFS and ECMWF model-simulated satellite imagery indicates this transition could occur as early as day 4.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Thu Aug 22 2024

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Gilma, located well west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja
California peninsula.

Central Portion of the East Pacific (EP92):
An area of low pressure located several hundred miles to the
south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula
continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and
thunderstorms to the west of its center. Environmental conditions
appear conducive for further development of this system, and a
tropical depression is likely to form this weekend while moving
westward to west-northwestward at around 10 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

Issued at 500 PM HST Thu Aug 22 2024 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 230234 TCDEP2 Hurricane Gilma Discussion Number 19 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072024 500 PM HST Thu Aug 22 2024 Gilma's satellite presentation has degraded this evening, with the eye becoming cloud filled and more irregularly shaped. Dvorak Current Intensity estimates remain unchanged from TAFB (6.0/115 kt) and SAB (5.5/102 kt) from earlier today, but most objective numbers from UW-CIMSS now range between 95 and 105 kt. 105 kt is set as the initial intensity as a blend of these numbers and the general degradation of the eye definition. Gilma's forward speed is now down to 5 kt toward the west-northwest. A deep-layer trough over the U.S. West Coast is expected to gradually move eastward, allowing mid-level high pressure to build offshore. This should cause Gilma to very gradually accelerate toward the west-northwest and then west through the entire 5-day forecast period. There is high confidence in Gilma's forecast track given a tightly packed guidance suite, and the updated NHC track prediction has only been pushed northward a shade, following the latest consensus trends. On the current forecast track, Gilma would move into the central Pacific basin late Monday. The ocean heat content near Gilma is only about 8 units (for reference, ocean heat content in the northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico exceeds 100 units). Therefore, it is likely that the hurricane's very slow motion is upwelling cold water from below, which may be contributing to the recent degradation in the satellite appearance. Cold water upwelling will probably continue for the next couple of days while Gilma's forward speed remains 8 kt or less, and despite a relatively low-shear environment, gradual weakening is forecast to continue through the entire forecast period. The new NHC forecast has been adjusted downward, but it still lies near the northern bound of the guidance suite. Global model guidance suggests that the cool waters, a drier environment, and increased shear may cause Gilma to struggle to maintain deep convection by early next week, and the new forecast now shows the cyclone becoming post tropical by day 5.
