Re: EPAC: FIFTEEN-E - Tropical Depression

TROPICAL DEPRESSION FIFTEEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 2
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152015
300 AM MDT SUN SEP 06 2015

Deep convection associated with the depression has increased in
coverage overnight, but the overall organization of the cyclone has
not changed very much. The center appears to be located near the
eastern edge of the deep convection due to moderate northeasterly
shear. An ASCAT overpass at 0416 UTC was very helpful in locating
the center and revealed wind speeds of around 30 kt, which is used
as the initial intensity for this advisory. The shear is forecast
to decrease during the next 24 hours, which should allow for steady
strengthening, and the depression is likely to become a tropical
storm very soon. The cyclone is expected to remain in a favorable
environment through late Tuesday, and the NHC forecast calls for
the system to become a hurricane within the next couple of days.
This is supported by the SHIPS and LGEM models. After 72 hours,
decreasing sea surface temperatures and increasing shear should
cause weakening by days 4 and 5.

The depression is moving northwestward at about 10 kt. The cyclone
is expected to continue moving northwestward over the next 3 to 4
days while it remains on the southwestern side of a mid-level
ridge over Mexico. The models are in relatively good agreement on
this scenario, but have trended a little northward after 72 hours
and indicate a faster forward motion through much of the forecast
period. As a result, the new NHC forecast is faster than the
previous advisory, and has also been nudged northward after 48
hours. The new forecast lies along the southern edge of the guidance
envelope in best agreement with the GFS.

TROPICAL STORM LINDA DISCUSSION NUMBER 3
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152015
900 AM MDT SUN SEP 06 2015

Satellite images indicate that deep convection associated with the
depression has been increasing during the last several hours and
banding features are becoming better established on the west side
of the circulation. The Dvorak classifications have increased to
3.0/45 kt from TAFB and 2.5/35 kt from SAB. The latest ADT value
from CIMSS at the University of Wisconsin is 2.9/43 kt. Based on
these data, the initial intensity is increased to 40 kt, making the
system Tropical Storm Linda.

Recent microwave images indicate that the center of Linda is located
on the northeast side of the main area of convection due to
northeasterly shear. This shear, however, is not expected to be
strong enough to prevent strengthening while Linda remains embedded
in a moist air mass and over 28-29 degree C waters during the next
couple of days. After 48 hours, the atmosphere is expected to be
drier and more stable near Linda and water temperatures lower along
the forecast track. These conditions should halt intensification
and result in a gradual weakening of the cyclone. The NHC intensity
forecast is higher than the previous one and a little above the
intensity model consensus, favoring the solutions of the SHIPS and
LGEM models.

Linda is moving northwestward at about 10 kt, steered by a mid-level
high pressure system centered over northern Mexico and the southern
United States. The ridge is expected to more or less remain in
place during the next couple of days, which should keep Linda on
the same general course. After that time, a slowdown is predicted
as the ridge weakens some. The NHC track forecast has again been
shifted a little to the north and is faster than the previous one,
trending toward the latest guidance.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 06/1500Z 14.1N 109.0W 40 KT 45 MPH
12H 07/0000Z 15.5N 110.2W 50 KT 60 MPH

Latest vis looks good. It's been five hours since the last microwave pass, and it looks like it has made some good progress building a core in that time.

Image

Also, the Hadley Cell must be very deep at the moment for Linda (and Kevin a few days ago) to be generating convection as deep as it has. CDO temps were between -80*C and -90*C before sunrise, with overshoots even colder (pictured below).

It looks much better now than it did last night. May be nearing 45 knots now. LEt's see if this can build an inner core in the near term. If it can, this will have a good chance at becoming a Category 4.

So, she shares the same name with the strongest EPAC hurricane on record which also occurred during the month of September of the last strong El Nino (1997). WOW, that's sweet.

Similar track and steering setup as well. It's pretty creepy, but this storm will not become anywhere near as strong that the 1997 monster.

Up to 50kt (which may be conservative).

I think it has a decent chance at major hurricane status if it can get going soon.

Looks like if it intensifies into a major AND takes the northeastern most track in "the cone", there is a decent shot of us getting some moisture out of this one :D

Absolutely. And so far it's been doing good as shear has dropped off quite a bit.

TROPICAL STORM LINDA DISCUSSION NUMBER 4
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152015
300 PM MDT SUN SEP 06 2015

Linda is strengthening. Satellite images indicate that banding
features have become better defined during the last several hours,
and deep convection has been persisting near the center. The
circulation and cloud field of Linda are quite large, extending
several hundred miles across. The Dvorak classifications at 1800
UTC have increased to 3.5/55 kt from TAFB, 3.0/45 kt from SAB, and
ADT values from UW-CIMSS are around 3.4/53 kt. Based on these
estimates, the initial wind speed is raised to 50 kt.

Additional strengthening is likely during the next couple of days as
the shear is expected to remain relatively light while the cyclone
is embedded within a moist air mass and over warm waters. After 48
hours, however, Linda is expected to move over progressively cooler
water and into a drier and more stable air mass. These conditions
should end the strengthening trend, and induce a gradual weakening.
The NHC intensity forecast shows a higher peak intensity than the
previous one and leans toward the upper end of the guidance, in best
agreement with the SHIPS model.

Linda continues to move northwestward at about 9 kt on the
southwestern side of a mid-level high pressure system located over
northern Mexico and the southern United States. The ridge is
expected to be nearly stationary during the next couple of days,
which should keep Linda moving northwestward at a similar or
slightly faster forward speed. After that time, a slowdown is
predicted as the ridge weakens some and shifts westward. The NHC
track forecast has again been shifted a little to the north of the
previous one, trending toward the latest guidance.

Linda is strengthening. Satellite images indicate that banding
features have become better defined during the last several hours,
and deep convection has been persisting near the center. The
circulation and cloud field of Linda are quite large, extending
several hundred miles across. The Dvorak classifications at 1800
UTC have increased to 3.5/55 kt from TAFB, 3.0/45 kt from SAB, and
ADT values from UW-CIMSS are around 3.4/53 kt. Based on these
estimates, the initial wind speed is raised to 50 kt.

Additional strengthening is likely during the next couple of days as
the shear is expected to remain relatively light while the cyclone
is embedded within a moist air mass and over warm waters. After 48
hours, however, Linda is expected to move over progressively cooler
water and into a drier and more stable air mass. These conditions
should end the strengthening trend, and induce a gradual weakening.
