800 AM PDT MON JUL 23 2007
FIRST-LIGHT VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE CENTER OF DALILA IS
EXPOSED BETWEEN TWO LARGE...BUT DISORGANIZED...CONVECTIVE MASSES.
SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM TAFB AND SAB REMAIN 35 KT...AND
THAT REMAINS THE INITIAL INTENSITY. ANALYSES FROM CIMSS AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN INDICATE CONTINUING 20-25 KT NORTHEASTERLY
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. SO FAR THOUGH...THE LARGE SIZE OF DALILA'S
CYCLONIC CIRCULATION HAS HELPED IT STAND UP TO THE SHEAR.
THE CENTER OF DALILA IS NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY POSITION...
AND THE INITIAL MOTION IS NOW ESTIMATED AT 315/9. DALILA REMAINS
SOUTH OF A WEAK MID-LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER NORTHWESTERN
MEXICO...WITH A MID-LEVEL TROUGH OVER NORTHEASTERN MEXICO. THE
LARGE-SCALE MODELS FORECAST THE TROUGH TO MOVE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
TO THE NORTH OF DALILA...WHICH WOULD WEAKEN THE STEERING CURRENTS
AND ALLOW A MORE NORTHWARD MOTION. THE ECMWF HAS THE STRONGEST
DEPICTION OF THE TROUGH AND THUS HAS THE SHARPEST NORTHWARD TURN
AND THE MOST EASTWARD FORECAST TRACK...WHILE THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN
HAS THE WEAKEST DEPICTION AND THE MOST WESTWARD FORECAST TRACK. IT
SHOULD BE NOTED THAT EVEN THE ECMWF DOES NOT BRING DALILA OVER BAJA
CALIFORNIA...AS THE RIDGE TO THE NORTH RE-BUILDS BEHIND THE TROUGH
AND FORCES THE CYCLONE NORTHWESTWARD WITH SOME INCREASE IN FORWARD
SPEED AFTER 72 HR. THE NEW FORECAST TRACK IS ADJUSTED TO THE EAST
OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK BASED ON THE INITIAL POSITION AND MOTION.
THE TRACK IS DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ENVELOPE OF MODEL GUIDANCE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NOGAPS AND THE SUPERENSEMBLE.
THE LARGE-SCALE MODELS AGREE THAT THE SHEAR WILL ABATE IN ABOUT 24
HR. SHOULD THIS VERIFY...THIS WOULD ALLOW DALILA TO INTENSIFY AT A
FASTER RATE THAN IT HAS DONE SO FAR. THE GFDL AND SHIPS MODELS
FORECAST A PEAK INTENSITY OF 60 KT...WITH THE GFDL REACHING IT IN
36 HR AND THE SHIPS IN 60 HR. THE INTENSITY FORECAST CALLS FOR
SLOW DEVELOPMENT FOR 24 HR...THEN FASTER INTENSIFICATION TO 60 KT
BY 48 HR AS THE SHEAR DECREASES. AFTER 72 HR...DALILA SHOULD MOVE
OVER COLDER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND WEAKEN. IT CANNOT BE
RULED OUT THAT DALILA COULD BECOME A HURRICANE. HOWEVER...EVEN
AFTER THE SHEAR DECREASES THE STORM HAS WORK TO DO TO OVERCOME ITS
INTERNAL DISORGANIZATION.

Re: Tropical Storm Dalila in Eastern Pacific
There has been almost no discussion so far in this thread on Dalila. This new system isn't working guys.
I'm surprised TD7-E became a TS at 5:00 am because at 1:00 am, it looked like it was weakening and the convection was very thin and a sheared mess. During those 4 hours, it must have really burst with convection to look like a TS. Not bad but the shear is still the enemy and it's holding up well.
There is a chance this could become the next hurricane. I'm still waiting for that major...
(after all, it is the Epac).

Considering this storm has been of status for under twelve hours, of course during the day while most are at work, school, etc... I think it's a little early to call this system a bust.

12 hours is quite a while for tropical cyclones. School? Maybe summer school for the very few
. I do know that even if it's a weekday morning, there are more posts then this usually.

We are talking about a tropical cyclone in the EPAC--twelve hours on this forum is a lifetime. School--a lot of schools go year round, especially those near where this cyclone is somewhat remotely near. This is actually par for the course. I wouldn't freak out just yet.

CONVENTIONAL AND MICROWAVE IMAGERY DEPICT A TROPICAL CYCLONE THAT

ENVIRONMENT. THE RATHER DISORGANIZED CIRCULATION CENTER IS EXPOSED
APPROXIMATELY 35 NM NORTHEAST OF THE DEEP CONVECTION....AND TO THE

SOUTHWESTERN MEXICO. DVORAK SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE 30 KT
FROM SAB AND 35 KT FROM TAFB...WITH THE INITIAL INTENSITY SET AT A
GENEROUS 35 KT.
DYNAMICAL MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT THE NORTHEASTERLY SHEAR
OVER THE SYSTEM WILL WEAKEN DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS...ALLOWING THE
CYCLONE TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY. BEYOND 72 HOURS...DALILA IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER LOWER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES THAT SHOULD
INDUCE A WEAKENING TREND THROUGH THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE
FORECAST. THE INTENSITY FORECAST FOLLOWS A BLEND OF THE
SHIPS...GFDL...LGEM...AND THE HWRF...WHICH INDICATE A PEAK INTENSITY
OF 55 KT BY DAY 3...BEFORE A WEAKENING TREND COMMENCES.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS ESTIMATED AT 325/7...SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT OF
THE PREVIOUS MOTION. THE FORECAST TRACK PHILOSOPHY REMAINS
UNCHANGED...WITH DALILA'S MOTION INFLUENCED BY A WEAK
MID-TROPOSPHERIC RIDGE TO THE NORTH...EXTENDING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
FROM THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES. THE ECMWF AND THE GFDN CONTINUE
TO SUGGEST A STRONGER INFLUENCE FROM THE DEVELOPING WEAKNESS OVER
CENTRAL MEXICO...WITH A MORE NORTHWARD MOTION THAN THE OTHER MODELS
AROUND MID-PERIOD. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF
THE AVAILABLE DYNAMICAL MODELS AND THE SUPERENSEMBLE...WITH LESS
EMPHASIS ON THE TWO AFOREMENTIONED MODELS.
THE WIND RADII HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED BASED ON THE 1312Z QUIKSCAT

THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE CHANGE WITH THE STRUCTURE OF DALILA THIS

SOUTHWEST QUADRANT NEAR THE CENTER...CLOSE ENOUGH AT 00Z TO RESULT
IN A T3.0...45 KT...DVORAK CLASSIFICATION FROM TAFB...ALTHOUGH THE
CONVECTION HAS RETREATED A BIT SINCE THEN. ON THE OTHER HAND...AN
ASCAT PASS AROUND 1630 UTC SUGGESTED PEAK WINDS OF ONLY AROUND 30
KT. AS A COMPROMISE...THE ADVISORY INTENSITY WILL REMAIN 35 KT.
DALILA HAS BEEN MOVING TO THE RIGHT OF ITS PREVIOUS TRACK AND MOST
OF THE GUIDANCE MODELS...WITH AN INITIAL MOTION OF 340/7. MOST OF
THE GLOBAL MODELS SHOW A WEAK INVERTED MID-LEVEL TROUGH PASSING
NORTH OF DALILA NEAR SOUTHERN BAJA...ERODING THE RIDGING THAT HAD
BEEN STEERING THE CYCLONE ON A MORE WESTERLY TRACK. THE GFS AND
ECMWF SUGGEST THAT A NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD MOTION COULD CONTINUE FOR
ANOTHER 24-36 HOURS AS THE TROUGH PASSES TO THE NORTHWEST OF DALILA
AND ENHANCES A SOUTHERLY STEERING FLOW. AFTER THAT...THE GLOBAL
MODEL CONSENSUS CALLS FOR DALILA TO BEGIN TO FEEL DEEP LAYER
RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES...AND CURVE BACK TO THE
NORTHWEST. THE GUIDANCE SUITE IS A LITTLE LESS CLUSTERED THAN IT
WAS EARLIER TODAY...AND THE GFDN NOW SHOWS A TRACK VERY NEAR THE
BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST HAS BEEN SHIFTED A
LITTLE TO THE RIGHT OF THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY...AND IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE GFS.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL SHEAR IS SLOWLY DECREASING...AND SHOULD SOON
PERMIT DALILA TO STRENGTHEN. BY 72 HOURS...HOWEVER...THE CYCLONE
SHOULD BE NEAR THE 26C SST ISOTHERM...WHEN A WEAKENING TREND IS

TROPICAL STORM DALILA DISCUSSION NUMBER 10
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP072007
200 AM PDT TUE JUL 24 2007
LATEST CONVENTIONAL SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT DALILA IS
BEGINNING TO STRENGTHEN. THE AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE
SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE IS NOW SITUATED CLOSER TO THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER AND NEW CONVECTION IS FORMING NORTH OF THE
CENTER. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS SET AT 40 KT IN LINE WITH A
CONSENSUS OF THE VARIOUS OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE SATELLITE
ESTIMATES.
DALILA HAS BEEN MOVING ERRATICALLY DURING THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS BUT
A 12 HOUR AVERAGE YIELDS AN INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE OF 340/6. THE
OVERALL TRACK FORECAST PHILOSOPHY REMAINS UNCHANGED. WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS A WEAK INVERTED MID-LEVEL TROUGH NORTHEAST OF DALILA
NEAR THE WESTERN COAST OF MEXICO. THIS TROUGH HAS TEMPORARILY
ERODED A LARGER-SCALE RIDGE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO RESULTING IN A
GENERAL NORTH-NORTHWEST MOTION. MOST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS MOVE THE
MID-LEVEL TROUGH WESTWARD...TO THE NORTH OF DALILA...OVER THE NEXT
DAY OR SO ALLOWING THE CYCLONE TO CONTINUE NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD.
AFTER THAT...THERE IS SOME DIVERGENCE AMONG THE VARIOUS GLOBAL
MODELS WITH THE CMC...ECMWF...AND GFDN INDICATING THE CYCLONE WILL
CONTINUE NORTHWESTWARD WITHIN A WEAKNESS CREATED BY A SECOND
MID-LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY ALONG THE SOUTHERN COAST OF CALIFORNIA.
THESE MODELS ALSO SHOW A SUSPICIOUSLY STRONG CYCLONE AT THAT TIME.
CONVERSELY...THE GFS...UKMET...AND NOGAPS MODELS SHOW A WEAKER
DALILA TURNING WESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEEP LAYER RIDGING
OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED
WEAKENING BEYOND 48 HOURS...THE SECOND SCENARIO IS PREFERRED
RESULTING IN LITTLE CHANGE TO THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK THROUGH
48 HOURS AND A SLIGHT SOUTHWARD SHIFT THEREAFTER.
EVEN THOUGH VERTICAL SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE DURING THE NEXT
24-48 HOURS...THE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT APPEAR IDEAL.
ADDITIONALLY...DALILA WILL BEGIN TO ENCOUNTER COOLER WATERS IN ABOUT
TWO DAYS. THESE FACTORS SHOULD LIMIT SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHENING IN
THE SHORT-TERM AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN WEAKENING BEYOND 48 HOURS.
INTENSITY GUIDANCE MODELS ARE LITTLE CHANGED AND SO IS THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST.

LATEST CONVENTIONAL SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT DALILA IS
BEGINNING TO STRENGTHEN. THE AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE
SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE IS NOW SITUATED CLOSER TO THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER AND NEW CONVECTION IS FORMING NORTH OF THE
CENTER. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS SET AT 40 KT IN LINE WITH A
CONSENSUS OF THE VARIOUS OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE SATELLITE
ESTIMATES.
DALILA HAS BEEN MOVING ERRATICALLY DURING THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS BUT
A 12 HOUR AVERAGE YIELDS AN INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE OF 340/6. THE
OVERALL TRACK FORECAST PHILOSOPHY REMAINS UNCHANGED. WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS A WEAK INVERTED MID-LEVEL TROUGH NORTHEAST OF DALILA
NEAR THE WESTERN COAST OF MEXICO. THIS TROUGH HAS TEMPORARILY
ERODED A LARGER-SCALE RIDGE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO RESULTING IN A
GENERAL NORTH-NORTHWEST MOTION. MOST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS MOVE THE
MID-LEVEL TROUGH WESTWARD...TO THE NORTH OF DALILA...OVER THE NEXT
DAY OR SO ALLOWING THE CYCLONE TO CONTINUE NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD.
AFTER THAT...THERE IS SOME DIVERGENCE AMONG THE VARIOUS GLOBAL
MODELS WITH THE CMC...ECMWF...AND GFDN INDICATING THE CYCLONE WILL
CONTINUE NORTHWESTWARD WITHIN A WEAKNESS CREATED BY A SECOND
MID-LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY ALONG THE SOUTHERN COAST OF CALIFORNIA.
THESE MODELS ALSO SHOW A SUSPICIOUSLY STRONG CYCLONE AT THAT TIME.
CONVERSELY...THE GFS...UKMET...AND NOGAPS MODELS SHOW A WEAKER
DALILA TURNING WESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEEP LAYER RIDGING
OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED
WEAKENING BEYOND 48 HOURS...THE SECOND SCENARIO IS PREFERRED
RESULTING IN LITTLE CHANGE TO THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK THROUGH
48 HOURS AND A SLIGHT SOUTHWARD SHIFT THEREAFTER.
EVEN THOUGH VERTICAL SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE DURING THE NEXT
24-48 HOURS...THE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT APPEAR IDEAL.
ADDITIONALLY...DALILA WILL BEGIN TO ENCOUNTER COOLER WATERS IN ABOUT
TWO DAYS. THESE FACTORS SHOULD LIMIT SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHENING IN
THE SHORT-TERM AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN WEAKENING BEYOND 48 HOURS.
INTENSITY GUIDANCE MODELS ARE LITTLE CHANGED AND SO IS THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST.

Re: Tropical Storm Dalila in Eastern Pacific
If there was no shear, this could have rapidly formed into a hurricane 
. That convection is not common (it's common in the Wpac though) here. It strongly reminds me of Bud from July 2006. I'm not so sure it's 40 knots, looks more like 45-50 knots. I think it might have to do with the LLC and where the convection is placed. Another thing is they are in some backup mode and the normal forecasters aren't doing the discussions. I like the name Bann.

The gfdl and hwrf models both show it peaking at category 1 strength.

Family members, the farther they are apart, the more they like each other. Distance avoids tension!!!
