Hurricane Lorena Forecast Discussion Number 7

5 years 10 months ago
Issued at 1000 PM CDT Wed Sep 18 2019 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 190244 TCDEP5 Hurricane Lorena Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP152019 1000 PM CDT Wed Sep 18 2019 Earlier microwave imagery showed that Lorena's structure has continued to improve, with a well-defined low-level ring noted in the 37-GHz channel. The convective signature in infrared satellite imagery is somewhat ragged, although it appears that a warm spot may be developing near the estimated center. Objective SATCON and ADT intensity estimates are 66 kt and 75 kt, respectively, which is higher than the 55-kt subjective estimates from TAFB and SAB. However, given the improved microwave pattern, the initial intensity hedges toward the objective numbers, making Lorena a 65-kt hurricane. Both the track and intensity forecast hinge on whether Lorena survives its fly-by of the coast of Mexico. If the center stays just offshore, which several of the models show, then a strengthening ridge over northern Mexico should steer the cyclone northwestward and west-northwestward away from west-central Mexico after 24 hours, heading in the general direction of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. The ECMWF is the only model at the moment that shows Lorena's center moving inland, or interacting with the high terrain enough, to dissipate within the next 12-24 hours. All that being said, the NHC track forecast assumes that Lorena will survive the next 24 hours, and it has been nudged southwestward beyond 36 hours, close to the multi-model consensus aids and the HCCA model. Based on this track, environmental conditions appear favorable for further strengthening during the next couple of days. Weakening should commence by day 3 once the system encounters areas of higher shear and significantly lower oceanic heat content values. As already insinuated above, due the potential for land interaction within the next 12-24 hours, there is greater than usual uncertainty in both the track and intensity forecast for Lorena through day 5. Key Messages: 1. Lorena will be dangerously close to the coast of southwestern Mexico tonight and on Thursday. A hurricane warning is in effect, and preparations to protect life in property should have been completed. 2. Lorena is forecast to cause heavy rain over portions of the Mexican states of Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco during the next few days. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. 3. Lorena could threaten the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula as a hurricane this weekend, but the forecast is more uncertain due to the potential for land interaction tonight and Thursday. Residents should ensure that their hurricane plan is in place as watches may be required on Thursday.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Hurricane Warning is in effect for... * Punta San Telmo to Cabo Corrientes A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Cabo Corrientes to Punta Mita A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within the next 24 hours. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within the next 24 hours. Interests in Baja California Sur should monitor the progress of Lorena. Watches may be required for a portion of the southern Baja California peninsula on Thursday. 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 Hurricane Lorena was located near latitude 18.7 North, longitude 104.7 West. Lorena is moving toward the northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h), and the forward speed is expected to decrease a bit on Thursday. On the forecast track, the center of Lorena is expected to move near or over the southwestern coast of Mexico within the hurricane warning area tonight and Thursday. Lorena is then expected to move west-northwestward away from the west-central coast of Mexico late Thursday and Friday and approach southern Baja California Sur Friday night and Saturday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.24 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Lorena can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP5 and WMO header WTPZ45 KNHC and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDEP5.shtml. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are likely occurring within southern portion of the warning area and will spread northwestward along the coast on Thursday. Hurricane conditions are expected to occur later tonight and on Thursday within the hurricane warning area. RAINFALL: Lorena is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 5 to 10 inches with maximum amounts of 15 inches along the coastal sections of the Mexican states of Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. SURF: Swells generated by Lorena will affect portions of the southwestern coast of Mexico during the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 100 AM CDT. Next complete advisory at 400 AM CDT. $$ Forecaster Berg

Tropical Storm Kiko Forecast Discussion Number 27

5 years 10 months ago
Issued at 800 PM PDT Wed Sep 18 2019 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 190231 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Kiko Discussion Number 27 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132019 800 PM PDT Wed Sep 18 2019 Kiko's appearance has not changed substantially during the past 6 hours. Although the wind shear is very light, at least some dry air appears be getting into the inner core of the tropical storm, limiting Kiko's deep convection. The intensity remains 55 kt based on the most recent UW-CIMSS SATCON and subjective Dvorak current intensity estimates. Both dynamical intensity models (HWRF and HMON) show that Kiko will eventually reform an inner convective core and strengthen, but do so several days apart. It seems likely, given the light shear and warm SSTs beneath the tropical storm, that Kiko will restrengthen at some point. That said, determining the exact timing is probably beyond our current ability to forecast tropical cyclone intensity. The NHC intensity forecast calls for slow strengthening during the next several days, as shown by HCCA, but I would not be surprised if Kiko is nearly steady-state for a day or two, and then strengthens at a faster rate than expected. Confidence in the intensity forecast is therefore somewhat low. The initial motion is now 265/5 kt. Little change was made to the NHC track forecast. Oscillations in the strength of a mid-level ridge to the north Kiko should cause the cyclone to turn northwestward in a day or so, and then back toward the west another day after that. After Kiko reaches the crest of its curvy path, it is expected to turn southwestward yet again by the weekend. The model guidance is in remarkably good agreement for such an unusual track and the NHC forecast remains near the multi-model consensus, with a little extra emphasis placed on the ECMWF which has thus far handled the forecast of Kiko quite well.
