Issued at 200 AM MST Thu Sep 04 2025 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 040852 TCDEP2 Hurricane Lorena Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122025 200 AM MST Thu Sep 04 2025 Lorena has become less organized since the last advisory due to the impacts of increasing vertical shear and decreasing sea surface temperatures underneath the hurricane. Earlier microwave imagery indicated that the eyewall had broken open, and current conventional imagery shows that the low-level center is now located near the southwestern edge of the convective mass. The various satellite intensity estimates are now trending down, and based on this the initial intensity is reduced to a possibly generous 70 kt. The initial motion is now a slower 320/7 kt. Lorena is expected to turn northward with a further decrease in forward speed later today as the cyclone moves farther into a break in the subtropical ridge. After that, the guidance is now considerably slower in moving Lorena to the north-northeast with the 00Z GFS now taking 60 h to reach Baja California Sur. The NHC forecast track is again slowed down significantly and blends the previous forecast with the new consensus models and the 00Z GFS. It should be noted that in contrast to the right turn of the GFS and the regional hurricane models, the ECMWF and Canadian models continue to show a left turn as Lorena approaches the coast that would keep the center offshore until the cyclone dissipates. Lorena should rapidly weaken in the increasingly unfavorable environment, with the cyclone now forecast to weaken to a tropical storm in 12 h or less. After that, the simulated satellite imagery from the 00Z GFS and ECMWF shows the cyclone should stop producing organized convection no later than 48 h, and this could happen earlier. The new intensity forecast now shows the system decaying to a remnant low by 48 h. Whether the system crosses Baja or stays over the cold Pacific waters, it is expected to dissipate completely by 96 h. Although Lorena is forecast to rapidly weaken, abundant moisture will continue to stream northeastward away from the cyclone. Because of that, there is still a significant risk of heavy rainfall and flash flooding across portions of Baja California Sur, Sonora, and southern Arizona and New Mexico. Key Messages: 1. Heavy rainfall associated with Lorena will continue to impact Baja California Sur and Sonora Mexico through Friday. This will increase the risk of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides across northwest Mexico. 2. Moisture from Lorena will contribute to heavy rainfall concerns across Arizona and New Mexico through Saturday. Isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding are possible across Arizona into Saturday. 3. The center of Lorena is forecast to move parallel to, but offshore of, the southwest coast of the Baja California Peninsula today, and then move closer to the west-central coast of the peninsula tonight and Friday. Regardless of the exact track, tropical storm conditions are likely along portions of the coast of Baja California Sur where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect. Tropical storm conditions are also possible late Friday along the east coast of the Baja California peninsula, where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect. 4. Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions will affect portions of the southern and western coasts of Baja California Sur during the next couple of days.

Issued at 1100 PM HST Wed Sep 03 2025 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 040852 TCDEP1 Hurricane Kiko Discussion Number 17 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112025 1100 PM HST Wed Sep 03 2025 The satellite presentation of Kiko has degraded some since the previous advisory, with the eye now mostly obscured by a central dense overcast with cloud top temperatures of -70 to -80C. Given the favorable environment that the cyclone is traversing, it is likely that Kiko is undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle at the moment. The most recent subjective Dvorak current intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB were 6.0/115 kt and 6.5/127 kt respectively, while the objective estimates from UW-CIMSS have ranged between 111 and 132 kt during the past several hours. Based on a blend of these data, the initial intensity has been held at 125 kt for this advisory, and Kiko remains a very powerful category 4 hurricane. Kiko is moving just south of due west, or 265 degrees, at 7 kt. This general westward motion is expected to continue through Thursday, as the cyclone is steered by a building subtropical ridge to its north and northwest. A turn toward the west-northwest is forecast by Friday as an upper-level trough north of Hawaii begins to erode the western portion of the subtropical ridge, with this general motion then continuing over the weekend and into early next week, along with a gradual increase in forward speed. There remains some along-track and cross track spread among the global models, although the spread has decreased considerably during the past 24 hours. A very slight northward adjustment has been made to the official track forecast, which remains in good agreement with a blend of the latest multi-model consensus aids. Kiko will remain over warm waters of 27–28C and influenced by mostly light vertical wind shear through around 60 hours. The surrounding environmental mid-level moisture will remain drier than optimal, hovering between 50 and 60 percent during the next couple of days, before dropping below 50 percent by 60 hours. Despite the somewhat dry mid-level airmass, the light vertical wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures should maintain Kiko as a major hurricane through day 3. There will likely be some fluctuations in strength during the next several days with the potential for eyewall replacement cycles during this time. By days 4 and 5, the cyclone will begin moving over cooler water with gradually increasing westerly vertical wind shear, and mid-level moisture plummeting below 40 percent. These factors should lead to steady and eventually rapid weakening of Kiko as the cyclone approaches the Hawaiian Islands from the east-southeast. Kiko will be influenced by environmental factors that can lead to the development of annular characteristics during the next few days along its approach, which can slow the rate of weakening. As a result, the official intensity forecast remains on the higher end or slightly above the intensity aids through day 5, and is very similar to the previous advisory.

A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area within 48 hours. Interests elsewhere on the Baja California peninsula and in northwestern Mexico should monitor the progress of Lorena. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 AM MST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lorena was located near latitude 24.0 North, longitude 113.7 West. Lorena is moving toward the northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue through this morning. A slow northward or north-northeastward motion is expected to begin this afternoon and continue into the weekend. On the forecast track, the center of Lorena is expected to move parallel to the west coast of the Baja California peninsula today and approach the coast of Baja California Sur tonight through Friday night. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher gusts. Lorena is expected to quickly weaken for the next couple of days, and it is forecast to weaken to a tropical storm later today. Lorena is likely to degenerate into a remnant low near or over the Baja California peninsula by early Saturday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Lorena can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP2 and WMO header WTPZ42 KNHC. RAINFALL: Bands of heavy rainfall will continue to impact Baja California Sur and Sonora Mexico through Friday. Additional rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches, with maximum storm total amounts of 15 inches, are possible across portions of Baja California Sur, far southeast Baja California and southwestern Sonora into Friday. This will bring the risk of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of higher terrain. Elsewhere across Mexico, 2 to 4 inches of rain, with isolated totals up to 6 inches, are expected across the remainder of Sonora and northern Sinaloa. These amounts will lead to isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding. Across the southwestern United States, 1 to 3 inches of rain, with isolated totals up to 5 inches, are expected across portions of Arizona and New Mexico through Saturday, bringing the potential for isolated to scattered flash flooding. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Hurricane Lorena, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep2.shtml?rainqpf WIND: Tropical storm conditions will spread northward within the warning area in Baja California Sur today through Friday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area on the east coast of the Baja California peninsula late Friday into Friday night. STORM SURGE: Coastal flooding from storm surge is likely along the coast of Baja California Sur near and to the right of where Lorena makes landfall. SURF: Swells generated by Lorena will continue affecting portions of the south and west coasts of Baja California Sur through Friday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0346 AM CDT Thu Sep 04 2025 Valid 071200Z - 121200Z ...DISCUSSION... A seasonally cool and dry continental airmass will be in place across much of the eastern US at the start of the forecast period, resulting in low severe potential. By Monday/Day-5, the surface high pressure responsible for this airmass will have begun to move east allowing return flow to become established across the Plains. At the same time, lee troughing in response to a western US longwave trough will reinforce the return flow regime. As the moisture is drawn northward into the Plains, steep lapse rates will advect out into the Plains from the higher elevations to the west. This combination of moistening low-levels and steep midlevel lapse rates will support increasing buoyancy profiles through the week. Any subtle shortwave trough that ejects out of the western trough and emerges into the central and northern Plains will have an opportunity to tap into this moist, buoyant atmosphere. The result would be at least some potential for thunderstorms, some of which could be severe. However predictability of these kinds of subtle features is too poor at these lead times to attempt to highlight favored days or corridors, thus predictability remains too low for unconditional probabilities.

SPC 0730Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0215 AM CDT Thu Sep 04 2025 Valid 061200Z - 071200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA... ...SUMMARY... Strong thunderstorms are expected from northern North Carolina into southern Pennsylvania on Saturday. The strongest storms may pose a threat for damaging winds. ... Discussion ... A surface cold front will slowly move east across the eastern US on Saturday. Along and ahead of this front, surface temperatures should warm into the upper-80Fs to low-90Fs from the Mid-Atlantic region southward into the Carolinas, with surface dewpoint temperatures in the upper-60Fs to low-70Fs. As a result a corridor of instability perhaps as great as 2000 J/kg will develop from North Carolina northward into the Mid-Atlantic area. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms should develop during the afternoon along the slow moving front across the Carolinas into the Mid Atlantic. Despite deep layer shear on the order of 40 knots and 2000 J/kg CAPE, poor mid-level lapse rates and precipitable water values around 1.75 inches should limit the overall severe threat to the potential for isolated damaging thunderstorm winds. ..Marsh.. 09/04/2025 Read more
