Tropical Storm Hilary Forecast Discussion Number 18

1 year 10 months ago
Issued at 200 PM PDT Sun Aug 20 2023 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 202036 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Hilary Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092023 200 PM PDT Sun Aug 20 2023 Hilary made landfall over the northern Baja California Peninsula a few hours ago with maximum winds estimated to be around 55 kt. Since then the storm has continued to move north-northwestward with the center now nearing the California/Mexico border. Maximum sustained winds are now estimated to be near 50 kt based on the earlier aircraft data and satellite estimates. Surface observations indicate that tropical-storm-force winds have spread into southern California and there have been a few reports of gusts around hurricane force. In addition, radar images show that bands of heavy rain have spread across portions of the southwestern United States and this will continue through early Monday. The storm is moving quickly to the north-northwest, with the latest initial motion estimated to be 345/20 kt. An even faster motion to the north-northwest is expected during the next day or so as Hilary moves in the fast flow between a ridge over the south-central U.S. and a mid- to upper-level low off the central California coast. Little change was made to the previous track forecast. Continued weakening due to dry air, and land interaction is expected, but Hilary is forecast to remain a tropical storm while it moves over southern California through tonight. The strongest winds are expected to be to the east of the center and in areas of high terrain. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Preparations for flooding impacts across the Southwestern United States should be completed with the peak intensity of heavy rainfall expected later today through early Monday morning. The potentially historic amount of rainfall is expected to cause life-threatening to locally catastrophic flash, urban, and arroyo flooding including landslides, mudslides, and debris flows through early Monday morning. Localized flooding impacts, some significant, are also expected across northern portions of the Intermountain West. 2. Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue across the northern portion of the Baja California Peninsula within the Tropical Storm Warning area during the next few hours. 3. Tropical storm conditions are expected in portions of the southwestern U.S. within the Tropical Storm Warning area through tonight. Winds could be particularly strong and gusty in and near areas of higher terrain. Gusty winds are expected to spread well inland across the western United States. 4. Large swells generated by Hilary will affect portions of the Baja California Peninsula and southern California over the next day or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Baja California peninsula west coast from Punta Eugenia northward * Baja California peninsula east coast from Bahia San Juan Bautista northward * Mainland Mexico north of Guaymas * California/Mexico border to Point Mugu * Catalina Island A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning. Interests elsewhere in the southwestern U.S. should monitor the progress of Hilary. For storm information specific to your area in the United States, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. For storm information specific to your area outside of the United States, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 PM PDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Hilary was located inland near latitude 31.3 North, longitude 116.1 West. Hilary is moving toward the north near 23 mph (37 km/h) and the storm is expected to accelerate even more as it moves north-northwestward to northward during the next day or so. On the forecast track, the center of Hilary will move across southern California in the next few hours. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is expected to continue, but Hilary is forecast to remain a tropical storm while it moves across southern California. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km) from the center. A sustained wind of 47 mph (75 km/h) with a gust of 70 mph (113 km/h) was reported at Sill Hill, California. A sustained wind of 47 mph (75 km/h) with a gust of 72 mph (116 km/h) was reported at Hauser Mountain, California. The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.24 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Hilary can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP4 and WMO header WTPZ44 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDEP4.shtml. RAINFALL: Hilary is expected to produce storm total rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches, with maximum amounts up to 10 inches, across portions of the northern Baja California Peninsula through tonight. Flash and urban flooding, locally catastrophic, is expected. Intense heavy rainfall associated with Hilary is expected across the Southwestern United States through early Monday morning. Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 10 inches, are expected across portions of southern California and southern Nevada leading to dangerous to catastrophic flooding. Across portions of Oregon and Idaho, rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches with local maxima to 5 inches are expected through Tuesday morning, resulting in localized significant flash flooding. A list of rainfall observations compiled by the NOAA Weather Prediction Center for this storm can be found at: www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc4.html WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue through the evening in the Tropical Storm Warning area in the Baja California Peninsula. Tropical storm conditions will continue through tonight in the warning area in southern California. Winds could be particularly strong and gusty in and near areas of elevated terrain. Higher gusts are expected well inland and will persist even after the system becomes post-tropical. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is likely to produce coastal flooding along the western Baja California peninsula of Mexico near where the center passes the coast in areas of onshore winds, or east of the center if Hilary makes landfall. The surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. Coastal flooding is possible along the northern coast of the Gulf of California today through early Monday. TORNADOES: A couple tornadoes are possible through this evening over southeast California, western Arizona, southern Nevada, and far southwest Utah. SURF: Large swells generated by Hilary will affect portions of the Baja California Peninsula and southern California over the next day or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

Tropical Storm Emily Forecast Discussion Number 2

1 year 10 months ago
Issued at 500 PM AST Sun Aug 20 2023 000 WTNT42 KNHC 202033 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Emily Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072023 500 PM AST Sun Aug 20 2023 Emily is feeling the effects of southwesterly vertical wind shear with the low-level center fully exposed to the southwest of the main area of deep convection. The initial intensity is held at 45 kt based on the earlier ASCAT data and the TAFB Dvorak satellite estimate. The environment around Emily is expected to become increasingly hostile the next couple of days with shear increasing to near 40 kt while the system remains in relatively stable air. These unfavorable atmospheric conditions should cause steady weakening, and Emily could become a remnant low in a few of days. The storm is moving to the northwest at 8 kt, and a general west-northwest to northwest motion is expected during the next 2 to 3 days while the storm moves along the southwestern periphery of the ridge. After that time, a turn to the north is forecast while the storm moves around the west side of the ridge and toward a weakness. The new track forecast is similar to the previous one and near the middle of the guidance envelope.

Tropical Depression Six Forecast Discussion Number 5

Issued at 500 PM AST Sun Aug 20 2023 413 WTNT41 KNHC 202032 TCDAT1 Tropical Depression Six Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062023 500 PM AST Sun Aug 20 2023 Visible satellite imagery indicates that the deep convection north and east of the depression has dissipated this afternoon. Once again, the center of circulation is completely exposed and is not as well-defined as earlier today. Based on a blend of objective and subjective satellite estimates, the initial intensity estimate for this advisory is held at 30 kt. Not much has changed with the forecast reasoning. Strong deep-layer westerly shear and unfavorable mid-level thermodynamics are expected to preclude further development of the depression. Global models and ensembles are in agreement that intensification is unlikely, and thus the official forecast has the depression as a remnant low in 12 h and dissipated in 24 h. The depression is now moving slightly north of due west, and this general motion is expected to continue until dissipation occurs. The official track forecast is a blend of consensus guidance and is similar to the previous forecast.

SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0239 PM CDT Sun Aug 20 2023 Valid 202000Z - 211200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST CA INTO THE LOWER CO VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... A couple tornadoes are possible across the Lower Colorado Valley and southern Mojave Desert vicinity through around dusk. ...20z Update... Only minor adjustments have been made to the 2 percent tornado probabilities over AZ. Otherwise, the previous outlook remains on track. See previous discussion below for more details, and reference MCD 2017 for short term severe/tornado hazard information. ..Leitman.. 08/20/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1119 AM CDT Sun Aug 20 2023/ ...Desert Southwest... The conditional TC-tornado environment evident over the northern Gulf of CA and northwest Sonora is expected to spread north-northwest across the Lower CO Valley and southern Mojave Desert vicinity. The primary corridor of concern will be across southeast CA and adjacent portions of western AZ/southern NV this afternoon into early evening. Here, meager MLCAPE from 300-600 J/kg should develop with some thinning of the cloud canopy amid upper 60s to low 70s boundary-layer dewpoints. This will remain coincident with an enlarged low-level hodograph in the northeast quadrant of weakening TC Hilary. Most 12Z HREF guidance struggles to maintain deep convection, but sustained low-topped convection could acquire updraft rotation and be capable of producing a brief tornado. This threat will end from south to north during the evening as low-level drying and decreasing hodograph curvature occurs within the southeast quadrant of the remnant TC. Relatively greater likelihood of deeper convective development is anticipated during the mid to late afternoon along the differential boundary-layer heating corridor from southeast AZ to southwest UT. This zone will be within the pronounced west to east gradient of high to low PW and consequently along the fringe of meager MLCAPE. At least isolated thunderstorms should form off the higher terrain and possess progressively weaker low-level SRH relative to the west/south. Some 12Z HREF members do depict a 2-5 km UH signal which makes sense given adequate shear within this layer. While mid-level rotation will be possible, isolated severe wind gusts should be the primary threat, particularly with any cells/small clusters that can propagate towards the more deeply mixed environment to the north-northeast.

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0232 PM CDT Sun Aug 20 2023 Valid 221200Z - 281200Z A large-scale upper-level anticyclone will meander across the central U.S. through much of the week before slowly drifting westward toward the Rockies by next weekend. Relatively rich deep-layer moisture pivoting around the upper anticyclone will promote overall cooler/moist conditions across much of the Pacific Northwest into the central Rockies. Meanwhile, hot and dry surface conditions will prevail beneath the upper anticyclone over the central and southern CONUS. The latest guidance consensus suggests that some overlap in dry/windy conditions may occur over eastern Colorado Day 3/Tuesday, with 40% Critical probabilities introduced. Thereafter, overall weaker surface winds are expected on a widespread basis across the southern High Plains into the Southeast, with more focused areas of relatively greater wildfire-spread potential confined locally. ..Squitieri.. 08/20/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
