10 best analogs.There is another Blanca (June,1991) there as the majority are out to sea but a few are with landfalls.

A small low pressure system located a few hundred miles south-
southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, is producing an area of showers and
thunderstorms. Strong upper-level winds associated with Hurricane
Andres are likely to inhibit development of this low through
Monday. However, a tropical depression is likely to form by the
middle of the week while the system drifts generally northwestward
and then becomes nearly stationary.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent

What I see from the models on intensity is a slow ramp up with GFS falling fast as it moves over colder waters.SHIP goes to cat 2.

16:05 UTC discussion:

Interesting sentence about track.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED
NEAR 12N102W WITH MEAN SEA LEVEL PRESSURE ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR
1007 MB. NW SHEAR RELATED TO OUTFLOW FROM ANDRES IS IMPACTING
THIS LOW...AND NUMEROUS MODERATE TO STRONG CONVECTION IS NOTED
WITHIN 90 NM SE SEMICIRCLE OF THE LOW PRES. AN EARLIER ASCAT
SATELLITE PASS INDICATED WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KT WITHIN 60 NM ON
THE NORTHERN QUADRANT OF THE LOW PRESSURE. THE STRONG UPPER
WINDS RELATED TO ANDRES WILL INHIBIT SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT OF
THIS LOW PRES AREA THROUGH MONDAY. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY
TUE...ALLOWING FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOW...POSSIBLY
BECOMING TROPICAL DEPRESSION BY MID WEEK AS IT DRIFTS NORTH AND
BECOMES STATIONARY. FORECAST TRACK AT THIS STAGE CONTINUES TO
FOLLOW THE ECMWF WHICH IS CLOSER TO THE EC AND GFS ENSEMBLE

Seems to already have some nice convection and for some reason, has that major hurricane look to it.

Up to 70%-90%


Satellite imagery indicates that a well-defined area of low pressure
has formed about 375 miles south-southwest of Acapulco, Mexico.
Strong upper-level winds associated with Hurricane Andres are
currently limiting the organization of the associated shower and
thunderstorm activity. However, conditions are expected to become
more conducive for development during the next day or so and a
tropical depression is likely to form by mid-week while the system
drifts generally northwestward and then becomes nearly stationary.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent

Updated: Satellite imagery indicates that thunderstorm activity
associated with the well-defined area of low pressure located about
375 miles south-southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, has become
sufficiently well organized to designate the system as a tropical
depression. A special advisory on Tropical Depression Two-E will be
issued soon.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO-E SPECIAL DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP022015
530 PM CDT SUN MAY 31 2015

Visible satellite images this afternoon indicate that deep
convection has developed over the center of the well-defined low
pressure system to the south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Therefore the
system qualifies as a tropical cyclone, and advisories are being
initiated at this time.

The initial motion estimate is 300/05. The depression is located
in a region of weak steering but with enough ridging in the short
term for the cyclone to drift generally west-northwestward to
northwestward through Monday. In 36-48 hours, a mid-level
ridge located west of the cyclone could impart an unusual southward
motion for a day or so. After that time, global models show
stronger ridging developing over northern Mexico and the
south-central United States, which should result in a faster
west-northwestward or northwestward motion. The official NHC track
forecast is close to the multi-model consensus (TVCE) throughout the
forecast period.

Strong northwesterly vertical wind shear associated with the
outflow of Hurricane Andres should preclude significant
intensification during the next day or two. After that time, the
shear is expected to become northeasterly and decrease
substantially, while the cyclone moves slowly in a moist
environment and over very warm waters of around 30 deg C. These
factors should lead to a faster rate intensification, perhaps
greater than what is currently forecast. The NHC intensity
forecast is closest to the SHIPS and HWRF models, which show the
most strengthening of the intensity guidance.

Connect the dots anyone? Anyhow since this is projected to become a cane would be the first time since 85 a storm named Blanca becomes a cane. Would also be only the second time since 78 that both A and B storms become majors if 2-E does indeed become a major hurricane down the road. 95's Adolph and Barbara the only ones to do it.

More EPAC records will be beaten soon.

Eric Blake ‏@EricBlake12 · 4m4 minutes ago
I believe the earliest 2nd #hurricane in the EPac is June 5/00z (1990). Could beat that by about a day given latest @NHC_Pacific forecast
