Tropical Storm Kiko Forecast Discussion Number 36

Issued at 200 AM PDT Sat Sep 21 2019 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 210900 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Kiko Discussion Number 36 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132019 200 AM PDT Sat Sep 21 2019 The initial intensity remains 55 kt based on recent Dvorak satellite intensity estimates. All of the intensity guidance continues to show quick weakening as the cyclone moves over marginal SSTs and into a drier and slightly more stable environment. The new NHC intensity forecast is similar to the previous advisory, except the intensity has been held steady for the next 36 hours due to forecast very low shear conditions by the GFS and ECMWF models. The initial motion estimate is 360/02 kt. Despite this most recent slow northward jog, the new NHC guidance still shows Kiko turning westward later today, followed by an unusual wave-like motion as mid-level ridge to the north fluctuates in strength during the 5-day period. The new NHC track is close to the latest consensus aids and similar to the previous NHC forecast.

Tropical Storm Mario Forecast Discussion Number 16

5 years 10 months ago
Issued at 300 AM MDT Sat Sep 21 2019 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 210859 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Mario Discussion Number 16 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142019 300 AM MDT Sat Sep 21 2019 Mario has become quite disorganized tonight. Geostationary satellite and microwave images indicate that the low-level center is now located well to the east of the main area of deep convection. This asymmetric cloud pattern is due to about 25 kt of east-northeasterly shear as shown by the SHIPS model. The initial intensity is lowered to 50 kt, using a blend of the Dvorak final T and CI numbers, and this could be generous given its current appearance. Although the strong shear currently affecting Mario is expected to lessen during the next couple of days, the cyclone will be moving into a drier airmass and over decreasing SSTs. Therefore, steady weakening seems likely, and the NHC intensity forecast shows a slightly faster rate of weakening than the previous one. This prediction is in good agreement with the HCCA and IVCN guidance. Mario is expected to become a remnant low in 2 or 3 days when it will be over SSTs of about 24 C, and dissipate by day 4 over very cool waters offshore of the Baja California peninsula. The tropical storm is moving northward, or 350 degrees, at 4 kt. The increasingly shallow system is expected to move northwestward to north-northwestward, following Lorena, with the low-level flow. The track models are in fair agreement, and only minor changes were made to the previous NHC forecast.

Hurricane Lorena Forecast Discussion Number 16

5 years 10 months ago
Issued at 300 AM MDT Sat Sep 21 2019 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 210857 TCDEP5 Hurricane Lorena Discussion Number 16 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP152019 300 AM MDT Sat Sep 21 2019 Lorena made landfall over the southeastern portion of Baja California Sur several hours ago, and it has now moved back over the warm waters of the Gulf of California. Around the time Lorena made landfall, an observation near La Ventana, Mexico, reported sustained winds just below hurricane-force and a minimum pressure of 986 mb when it was in the eye of the hurricane. The satellite appearance of the cyclone has degraded some because of the land interaction, and an eye is no longer apparent in geostationary images. The initial intensity for this advisory is set at 65 kt based on the TAFB Dvorak classification. An ASCAT-C pass confirmed that Lorena is a compact hurricane, with its tropical-storm-force winds extending only out to 40 n mi from the center. Lorena has been a challenging system to forecast as the models have not had a good handle on its future track. The models this cycle have all shifted to the east and now show a landfall in mainland Mexico tonight or Sunday. The NHC track forecast has been adjusted to the right to be in better agreement with the latest model solutions, but this forecast still lies on the western side of the guidance envelope. If this model trend continues, additional shifts to the right might be needed. Based on this change, the Government of Mexico has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for a portion of northwestern Mexico. The hurricane is expected to maintain its intensity today as it remains over the warm waters of the Gulf of California, but a pronounced increase in southwesterly shear and land interaction with mainland Mexico should cause a quick weakening on Sunday and dissipation is likely to occur on Monday. The NHC intensity forecast is lower than the previous one, but still lies on the high side of the guidance envelope. Key Messages: 1. Regardless of any changes in track, Lorena will produce heavy rain, with life-threatening flash floods possible during the next couple of days in parts of Baja California and northwest Mexico. Moisture associated with Lorena is forecast to bring a chance for heavy rain to the southwest United States late this weekend and early next week. 2. Lorena is forecast to continue to produce hurricane-force winds over a portion of the southern Baja California today, where a Hurricane Warning is in effect. It could also bring hurricane conditions to portions of mainland Mexico tonight where a Hurricane Watch is in effect.
