Shower activity associated with a broad and elongated area of low
pressure located about 750 miles south-southwest of the southern tip
of the Baja California peninsula has changed little in organization
today. However, upper-level winds are expected to become more
conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely to
form over the weekend or early next week while the low moves
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent

Now at 70% / 90%...

1. Satellite images indicate that the low pressure system located
about 800 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja
California peninsula is gradually becoming better defined.
Although the associated showers and thunderstorms remain
disorganized, environmental conditions are conducive for
development, and a tropical depression is likely to form later this
weekend or early next week while the low moves toward the
west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent

Shower activity associated with a low pressure system centered about
800 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula is gradually increasing and becoming slightly better
organized. Environmental conditions are conducive for development,
and a tropical depression is likely to form within the next day
late or two while the low moves toward the west-northwest at 10 to
15 mph. After that time, conditions are expected to be less
conducive for development.

Shower and thunderstorm activity continues to show signs of
organization in association with a low pressure system located about
900 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula. Environmental conditions are conducive for development,
and a tropical depression is likely to form later today or Monday
while the low moves toward the west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Odd since ECMWF peaks this in 3 days and brings this over Hawaii in a week.

91E sure has taken its time. But looks to be getting itself together now

Looks like it's LLC is still elongated and just to the north of the deep convection.

:uarrow: Just not sure there's a closed center yet. Which I suppose if why the NHC hasn't classified.

As long as it gets classified by tonight so we can break the July record for most named storms.

Yeah, true. It is closed per the ASCAT last night, but may still be elongated and broad.

If it gets classified tonight it will be to a TD not a TS, so no record. IMO.

Unless of course it becomes a TD by 2 PM and a TS by the next advisory at 8 PM. :lol:

...EIGHTH TROPICAL CYCLONE OF JULY FORMS WELL SOUTHWEST OF MEXICO...


SUMMARY OF 930 AM PDT...1630 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...14.2N 120.5W
ABOUT 915 MI...1475 KM SW OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...35 MPH...55 KM/H

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.


DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 930 AM PDT (1630 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Nine-E
was located near latitude 14.2 North, longitude 120.5 West. The
depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h),
and this general motion is expected to continue through Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and the
depression is expected to become a tropical storm by tonight.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE-E SPECIAL DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP092016
930 AM PDT SUN JUL 31 2016

The first visible satellite images this morning indicate that a
well-defined center has formed in association with the area of low
pressure located well southwest of Mexico. This, along with the
increase in convective organization, supports classifying this
system as a tropical cyclone. A 1401Z SSMIS overpass indicated that
the low-level center was located beneath the convective canopy, and
the initial intensity is set to 30 kt based on the latest Dvorak
estimates from TAFB and SAB.

The cyclone is currently situated over waters of 27-28C and the
shear is expected to remain relatively low, so gradual strengthening
is forecast through the first 48 hours. Later in the period, the
cyclone will move over cooler waters and into a drier and more
stable thermodynamic environment, which should result in gradual
weakening to remnant low status. The NHC intensity prediction is a
little above the latest intensity consensus, but not as high as the
HWRF and COAMPS-TC models. During the weakening phase, the NHC
forecast is below the SHIPS model and the intensity consensus.

The initial motion estimate is a somewhat uncertain 295/08.
However, the track forecast reasoning appears relatively
straightforward, as a mid-level ridge is expected to build westward
to the north of the cyclone through the forecast period. This
should result in a west-northwestward heading, with a bit of a
westward bend in the track at days 4 and 5 as the shallow cyclone
comes under the influence of the low-level trade winds. The NHC
track forecast is close to the middle of the guidance envelope near
the multi-model consensus.

This marks the formation of the eighth tropical cyclone in the basin
in July, tying the record set in July of 1985.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 31/1630Z 14.2N 120.5W 30 KT 35 MPH
12H 01/0000Z 14.9N 121.9W 35 KT 40 MPH
24H 01/1200Z 15.7N 123.9W 40 KT 45 MPH

48H 02/1200Z 17.8N 128.7W 50 KT 60 MPH
72H 03/1200Z 20.3N 134.4W 40 KT 45 MPH
96H 04/1200Z 21.5N 139.5W 30 KT 35 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW
120H 05/1200Z 22.5N 144.5W 25 KT 30 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW

Oh wow

I was shocked when I checked the page, only to see 91E upgraded and a special advisory issued.
:lol:

Can this make it to TS strength before tomorrow? Let's wait and see! :ggreen: :ggreen:

The drums will now begin to roll..... 8-) 8-)
