TROPICAL STORM SIMON DISCUSSION NUMBER 20
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP192014
800 AM PDT MON OCT 06 2014

Simon's cloud pattern continues to deteriorate...with almost all of
the remaining deep convection displaced well to the east and north
of the low-level center. Using a blend of Dvorak T-numbers from
TAFB and SAB yields a current intensity estimate of 40 kt. The
vertical shear over the cyclone is currently near 25 kt, and is
forecast to increase to 40-50 kt within the next couple of days.
Given the hostile dynamical environment, continued steady weakening
is expected. The official forecast shows Simon becoming a remnant
low in 36 hours, although this event may well occur sooner than
that.

The motion is now just east of due north or 010/6 kt. Simon is
moving along the northwestern periphery of a low- to mid-level
anticyclone. An approaching shortwave trough should cause the
cyclone to move north-northeastward, with the remnant low moving
across the northern Baja California peninsula and then into extreme
northwestern mainland Mexico and the southwestern United States over
the next couple of days. The official track forecast follows the
dynamical model consensus, TVCE, rather closely.

Even if Simon or its remnant circulation does not make it across the
rugged terrain of the Baja California peninsula, moisture associated
with this system is expected to spread across the northern Baja
California peninsula, northwestern Mexico, and into the U.S. Desert
Southwest, which could trigger heavy rains in those regions during
the next few days. Please refer to statements from your local
weather office for information on hazards specific to your area.

TROPICAL STORM SIMON DISCUSSION NUMBER 21
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP192014
200 PM PDT MON OCT 06 2014

Although the tropical cyclone has very little deep convection
remaining, a recent ASCAT overpass indicated that the system had
not weakened as much as earlier estimated. Data from that pass
showed that the current intensity is about 45 kt. Water vapor
imagery shows quite a bit of southwesterly shear affecting Simon at
this time, and dynamical models show the shear becoming even
stronger within a day or two. The official intensity forecast is
above most of the numerical guidance and shows the system
degenerating into a remnant low in 24 hours. However, since the
ASCAT data revealed a slightly larger and stronger cyclone, and
considering the uncertainties in the forecast track, it is prudent
to issue a tropical storm watch for a portion of the west coast of
the Baja peninsula at this time.

The motion continues about the same as before, or 010/6 kt. There
is little change to the track forecast or reasoning. Simon is
moving around the northwestern periphery of a mid-level high
pressure area. An approaching shortwave trough should cause the
tropical cyclone or its remnant low to move north-northeastward
over the next couple of days. The official track forecast is a
blend of the latest GFS and ECMWF predictions, with the former
guidance farther north and the latter guidance farther south.

Even if Simon or its remnant circulation does not make it across the
rugged terrain of the Baja California peninsula, moisture associated
with this system is expected to spread across the northern Baja
California peninsula, northwestern Mexico, and into the U.S. Desert
Southwest, which could trigger heavy rains in those regions during
the next few days. Please refer to statements from your local
weather office for information on hazards specific to your area.

TROPICAL STORM SIMON DISCUSSION NUMBER 22
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP192014
800 PM PDT MON OCT 06 2014

The cloud pattern of Simon has changed little since the previous
advisory. The tropical cyclone continues to produce a small area
of deep convection well to the north of the exposed low-level
center. Subjective satellite intensity estimates continue to
slowly decrease and the initial wind speed has been lowered to 40 kt
for this advisory. Westerly shear of 30 kt or more, along with
cool water, and a drier mid-level atmosphere should cause the
tropical storm to weaken during the next day or so. Simon is
expected to degenerate into a post-tropical cyclone by late Tuesday
and dissipate within 2 to 3 days.

The latest satellite fixes indicate that Simon has turned
north-northeastward or 015/7 kt. Simon should move north-
northeastward to northeastward in southwesterly flow between a
mid-level ridge to its southeast and an approaching mid-latitude
trough. The NHC track forecast lies between the ECMWF and the more
poleward GFS. The new track is close to the previous advisory
through 24 hours, but has been adjusted a little northward
thereafter.

Even if Simon or its remnant circulation does not make it across the
rugged terrain of the Baja California peninsula, moisture associated
with this system is expected to spread across the northern Baja
California peninsula, northwestern Mexico, and into the U.S. Desert
Southwest, which could trigger heavy rains in those regions during
the next few days. Please refer to statements from your local
weather office for information on hazards specific to your area.

TROPICAL STORM SIMON DISCUSSION NUMBER 23
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP192014
200 AM PDT TUE OCT 07 2014


The cloud pattern of Simon consists of a tight swirl of low
clouds with some patches of convection to the northeast of
the center. A recent ASCAT overpass indicated that there are
35-kt winds associated with the circulation. These winds were
primarily occurring to the southeast and northwest of the center. A
strong shear is forecast to remain over the cyclone, and Simon is
expected to become a post-tropical cyclone in about a day, and then
dissipate over the rugged terrain of Baja California peninsula.

Simon is moving toward the north-northeast or 015 degrees at 6 kt.
The cyclone is already embedded within the mid-latitude
southwesterly flow and this general motion should continue until
dissipation. The NHC forecast is very close to the multi-model
consensus.

Even if Simon or its remnant circulation does not make it across the
rugged terrain of the Baja California peninsula, moisture associated
with this system is expected to spread across the northern Baja
California peninsula, northwestern Mexico, and into the U.S. Desert
Southwest, which could trigger heavy rains in those regions during
the next few days. Please refer to statements from your local
weather office for information on hazards specific to your area.

TROPICAL STORM SIMON DISCUSSION NUMBER 24
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP192014
800 AM PDT TUE OCT 07 2014

The deep convection associated with Simon has diminished even
further, with only a small patch of showers remaining near the
north-central Baja California peninsula. Unless significant
convection returns to the circulation later today, the cyclone
could degenerate into a remnant low by tonight. The intensity is
maintained at 35 kt for now, based mainly on continuity from the
earlier ASCAT pass. The surface circulation of Simon or its remnant
low is likely to dissipate while it moves into the southwestern
United States, unless it fails to survive its passage over the
mountainous Baja peninsula during the next day or so.

The motion is just slightly faster than before, or 025/8 kt. With
the cyclone expected to remain embedded in low- to mid-level
south-southwesterly flow, this motion should continue until the
system loses its identity. The official forecast is close to
TVCN, the dynamical model consensus.

Even if Simon or its remnant circulation does not make it across the
rugged terrain of the Baja California peninsula, moisture associated
with this system is expected to spread across the northern Baja
California peninsula, northwestern Mexico, and into the U.S. Desert
Southwest, which could trigger heavy rains in those regions during
the next few days. Please refer to statements from your local
weather office for information on hazards specific to your area.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIMON DISCUSSION NUMBER 25
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP192014
200 PM PDT TUE OCT 07 2014

An ASCAT pass from a few hours ago indicates that there are no
longer winds of tropical storm force in the circulation. Therefore
the system is being downgraded to a depression and the tropical
storm watch for Baja California is discontinued. The current
intensity is 30 kt, and since the wind shear over Simon is forecast
to be very strong and even increase a little more over the next day
or so, additional weakening is expected. The interaction
with land could cause even more weakening than indicated here.
In any event, given the lack of deep convection, the system is
likely to degenerate into a remnant low tonight.

The north-northeastward motion continues, at around 030/6.
A consensus of the dynamical guidance calls for this general
direction of motion with a little acceleration, for the next 24-36
hours. This will take Simon, or its remnant low, across
north-central Baja California and into Mainland Mexico.

Even if Simon or its remnant surface circulation does not make it
across the rugged terrain of the Baja California peninsula, moisture
associated with this system is expected to spread across the
northern Baja California peninsula, northwestern Mexico, and into
the U.S. Desert Southwest, which could trigger heavy rains in those
regions during the next few days. Please refer to statements from
your local weather office for information on hazards specific to
your area.

POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE SIMON DISCUSSION NUMBER 26
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP192014
800 PM PDT TUE OCT 07 2014

Simon has been devoid of organized deep convection for more than 12
hours. Strong shear and an unfavorable thermodynamic environment
should prevent any significant redevelopment of convection, and the
system is being declared a post-tropical remnant low at this time.
Based on earlier ASCAT data, the initial wind speed remains 30
kt for this advisory. The low should weaken during the next day or
so, and the global models suggest that the cyclone will become
an open trough within 24 to 48 hours as it interacts with land.

The low has turned northeastward this evening with an initial motion
estimate of 040/6 kt. A northeastward motion with some increase in
forward speed is expected until dissipation occurs. This will take
the cyclone, or its remnant, across north-central Baja California
and into Mainland Mexico.

Even if Simon or its remnant surface circulation does not make it
across the rugged terrain of the Baja California peninsula, moisture
associated with this system is expected to spread across the
northern Baja California peninsula, northwestern Mexico, and into
the U.S. Desert Southwest, which could trigger heavy rains in those
regions during the next couple of days. Please refer to statements
from your local weather office for information on hazards specific
to your area.

This is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center
on Simon. For additional information on the remnant low please see
High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service...under
AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI and WMO header FZPN01 KWBC.
