A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. Interests in elsewhere in southern and southwestern Mexico should monitor the progress of Otis. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Otis was located near latitude 13.6 North, longitude 97.9 West. Otis is moving toward the north-northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this general motion is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, Otis is expected to reach the coast of southern Mexico on Wednesday. Maximum sustained winds remain near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast, and Otis is expected to be near hurricane strength before it reaches southern Mexico. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Otis can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP3 and WMO header WTPZ43 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDEP3.shtml RAINFALL: Otis is expected to produce rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches with maximum amounts of 15 inches through Friday across Guerrero and the western coastal sections of Oaxaca. This rainfall will produce flash and urban flooding, along with mudslides in areas of higher terrain. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected and hurricane conditions are possible within the warning area beginning Tuesday night. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce significant coastal flooding near and to the east of where the center makes landfall. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. SURF: Swells generated by Otis will begin to affect portions of the southern coast of Mexico on Tuesday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

Tropical Depression Twenty-one Forecast Discussion Number 2

1 year 8 months ago
Issued at 1100 PM EDT Mon Oct 23 2023 000 WTNT41 KNHC 240233 TCDAT1 Tropical Depression Twenty-One Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL212023 1100 PM EDT Mon Oct 23 2023 It has been a challenge to find the center of the depression this evening. Surface observations from Bluefields Airport in Nicaragua indicated that the center of the depression likely moved northeast of the observing station earlier this evening, but pressures in the area were not particularly low. Since then, a robust mid-level circulation has been visible in shortwave-infrared imagery, but it isn't clear if this extends to the surface. ASCAT data is expected within the next couple of hours, which should provide clarity over whether the center of the depression has reformed under the mid-level circulation, or if has already moved inland. TAFB and SAB Dvorak estimates still support an intensity near 25 kt. Once inland, the depression should quickly weaken and dissipate. However, its worth noting that if the center is still over water and remains there for any period of time overnight, some slight strengthening could occur since the environment is otherwise favorable for intensification. The long-term estimated motion is around 310/4 kt, but this is highly uncertain. The depression, or its remnants, are forecast to continue northwestward tonight, and then generally head westward toward the eastern Pacific after that. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Heavy rains from the depression will continue to impact portions of Nicaragua through Tuesday night with heavy rainfall spreading into Honduras during the day on Tuesday. This rainfall is likely to produce flash and urban flooding, along with possible mudslides in areas of higher terrain.

Hurricane Tammy Forecast Discussion Number 23

1 year 8 months ago
Issued at 1100 PM AST Mon Oct 23 2023 000 WTNT45 KNHC 240231 TCDAT5 Hurricane Tammy Discussion Number 23 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL202023 1100 PM AST Mon Oct 23 2023 Microwave data from multiple polar-orbiting satellites received during the last few hours indicate that Tammy still has a well-organized low- to mid-level circulation, even as its deep convection is getting sheared northward. The most recent TAFB Dvorak classification was a 4.0/65 kt, which supports maintaining Tammy as a hurricane. While Tammy's future path remains unusually unclear, especially at the 4-5 day range, very little change was made to the official track forecast. The hurricane is currently moving north-northeastward, and it should get steered northward starting in about 2 days as the hurricane interacts with a mid-latitude trough approaching from the northwest. The uncertainty in the forecast increases considerably after that point as Tammy will likely reach a col point in the steering flow over the western Atlantic. Many models and ensemble members indicate another mid-latitude trough will cause the cyclone to begin to accelerate eastward or northeastward. However, it appears equally likely that Tammy will then turn westward or southwestward under the influence of a mid-level ridge that should build behind the second trough. With no clear reason to support one solution or another, the NHC track forecast is unchanged for now. It remains near the consensus of the GFS and ECMWF through about 72 h, and then favors the ECMWF and ECENS mean after that. Conversely, the intensity forecast appears to be more straightforward. Most of the intensity guidance indicates that slight strengthening is possible during the next day or so, as Tammy gets a convective boost while interacting with an upper-level trough. However, after about 48 h, it should begin to weaken and transition to a post-tropical cyclone. Based on simulated satellite imagery, this process is expected to complete in about 72 h, though Tammy will likely continue to produce gale- to storm-force winds for several days thereafter.

Tammy is moving toward the northeast near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through Wednesday. A turn toward the north at a slower forward speed is forecast to begin on Thursday. Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Slight strengthening is possible during the next day or two. Weakening is expected after that. Tammy is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone on Thursday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 987 mb (29.15 inches) based on data from a NOAA Saildrone. HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Tammy will continue to affect portions of the Leeward Islands, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico during the next few days.

These storms will be capable of large hail (1.5-2 in.). A watch is possible. DISCUSSION...Subtle signs of lift are evident in parts of west-central/northwest Iowa on IR satellite imagery. The KOAX VAD is showing the low-level jet at around 40 kts already this evening. This is expected to increase into the overnight. Lift along a warm front will eventually support potentially scattered elevated thunderstorm development within the next 2-3 hours. The 00Z observed OAX sounding showed very steep mid-level lapse rates. Though more muted, these lapse rates also extend into Iowa/Minnesota per this evenings DVN/MPX soundings. Mid/upper-level winds are strong enough to support long hodographs and 35-40 kt of effective shear. The strongest storms will be supercellular and capable of large hail (1.5-2 in.). Convective trends will continue to be monitored and a watch is possible this evening. ..Wendt.. 10/24/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

In the low levels, a warm front will advance north across portions of the Midwest as an elongated warm air conveyor belt extends from the southern Great Plains arcing north-northeast into the Great Lakes. ...IA/MN/WI... Latest surface observations show the northern periphery of richer moisture has moved into western IA/eastern NE. The 00z Omaha raob featured 8 deg C/km 700-500 mb lapse rates and moderate buoyancy. The LLJ is forecast to intensify this evening and focus large-scale ascent mainly in the form of isentropic ascent/warm-air advection in the vicinity of the warm front. Recent time-lagged HRRR model runs indicate isolated to scattered storms developing farther west and near the MO River by late this evening. This activity seems to favor a west-east corridor across northern IA and perhaps far southern MN. Given the favorable lapse rates and deep-layer shear profiles supporting the potential for updraft rotation, have introduced a small 15-percent hail probability (Slight Risk). ...Rio Grande/western part of the Edwards Plateau... The 00z Del Rio raob showed relatively weak lapse rates above the boundary layer, indicative of moisture via decayed TC remnants. Despite the lack of lightning and weak updraft development through early evening, a low probability for a strong updraft could materialize later tonight across this region as southerly 850-mb flow strengthens. However, it seems the risk for severe will be limited by overall weak buoyancy/lapse rates. ..Smith.. 10/24/2023 Read more

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 PM PDT Mon Oct 23 2023

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Otis, located a few hundred miles south-southeast of
Acapulco, Mexico.

South of Central America and Mexico:
A broad area of low pressure is likely to form in a couple of days
over the far eastern Pacific, partially related to the remnants of
Atlantic Tropical Depression Twenty-One which are forecast to move
into the region. Environmental conditions could support some slow
development of this system by late this week or this weekend while
the low moves slowly westward to west-northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
