Cloud tops are pretty cold. That kind of expanse of -80*C tops is fairly rare in the western hemisphere.

TROPICAL STORM PAINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 3
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP172016
900 AM MDT SUN SEP 18 2016

An AMSR2 image from 0859 UTC revealed that the low-level center of
Paine was displaced somewhat to the east of the earlier estimated
track, indicative of easterly shear over the system. Paine has a
fairly well-defined curved band, with very cold cloud tops, over the
western semicircle of the circulation. Dvorak intensity estimates
from TAFB and SAB remain at 35 kt, and this value will be used for
the advisory intensity. The dynamical guidance shows a decrease in
shear over the next 24 hours, so Paine is likely to strengthen into
Monday. In around 48 hours, SSTs are expected to drop below 24 deg
C, and this should cause significant weakening, and remnant low
status seems likely by 72 hours. The official intensity forecast is
similar to the previous one, and near or above the model consensus.

Based on the aforementioned microwave image, the track has been
shifted eastward somewhat, and the initial motion estimate is 305/11
kt. Over the next couple of days, Paine should move around the
southwestern periphery of a mid-level high centered over Texas. The
official forecast track is to the right of the previous one, mainly
due to the eastward relocation of the center, but lies generally to
the left of the model consensus.

Although the cyclone is likely to dissipate before reaching land,
deep-layer moisture associated with Paine is expected to be advected
into extreme southeastern California and southwestern Arizona, which
could enhance the potential for unusual September rains across these
areas.

Looks like a Paine in the butt for the northern Baja.

TROPICAL STORM PAINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 4
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP172016
300 PM MDT SUN SEP 18 2016

Paine has strengthened significantly today, with increasingly better
defined convective bands wrapping at least 3/4 of the way around
the circulation. The intensity is set, perhaps conservatively, to
50 kt which is the average of Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB.
Vertical shear has relaxed, and the tropical cyclone has about 24
hours over warm water. The official intensity forecast now calls
for Paine to become a hurricane within that time frame, in close
agreement with the SHIPS guidance. By tomorrow night, the cyclone
will be encountering SSTs below 24 deg C, so a weakening trend
should be underway by that time. Paine will continue to move over
progressively cooler waters thereafter, and should decay into a
remnant low in about 72 hours.

The initial motion estimate, 310/12 kt, is not much different than
in the earlier advisory. The track forecast philosophy has not
changed. Paine should move along the southwestern periphery of a
mid-tropospheric high pressure system centered near Texas for the
next couple of days and remain offshore of the Baja California
peninsula. In 72 hours, the remnant low is forecast to approach
the northern portion of the peninsula, but it should dissipate
before reaching land.

Deep-layer moisture associated with Paine or its remnants is
expected to spread over portions of the southwestern United States
in a couple of days. This could enhance the rainfall potential in
these areas.

Wow! 50 knots? :eek:

Chances of this becoming our 11th hurricane are high right now IMO. :eek:

Paine will be lucky to become a hurricane. As it moves over much colder waters over the California Current/EPAC SST gradient and shear increases soon, It will start rapidly weakening by this time tomorrow, and by Tuesday, maybe Wednesday, Paine will be history

NHC goes with 60 knots, which seems reasonable IMO given the eye like feature present now.

TROPICAL STORM PAINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 5
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP172016
900 PM MDT SUN SEP 18 2016

Paine continues to quickly strengthen this evening. The convective
banding has improved, with a mid-level eye feature now apparent in
recent microwave images. The latest subjective Dvorak T-numbers
from TAFB and SAB are T3.5/55 kt, and objective estimates from
UW/CIMSS have climbed to T3.8 or about 60 kt, which is the basis
for the 60-kt advisory intensity. Paine is expected to remain in a
low shear environment through tomorrow morning, while it remains
over SSTs greater than 26C. This should allow for some additional
strengthening and Paine is forecast to become a hurricane overnight
or early Monday. After that time, the tropical cyclone is forecast
to move over progressively cooler waters and into an area of
increasing southwesterly shear, which should cause rapid weakening.
Paine is forecast to become a remnant low within 72 hours, and
dissipate shortly thereafter. The NHC intensity forecast is below
the SHIPS/LGEM statistical guidance, and is closest to the HWRF
model.

The initial motion estimate is 315/13 kt. The cyclone is forecast
to move north-northwestward, then northward around the southwestern
and western portions of a mid- to upper-level ridge centered over
northern Mexico. As Paine weakens and become a more shallow
system, it should slow down and then dissipate just west of the Baja
California peninsula in 3 to 4 days. Some of the dynamical models
take a stronger system northeastward into Mexico, but given the
hostile atmospheric and thermodynamic conditions west of the Baja
peninsula, this solution seems unlikely at this time.

Deep-layer moisture associated with Paine or its remnants is
expected to spread over portions of the southwestern United States
in a couple of days. This could enhance the rainfall potential in
these areas.

Dear Paine,

Your rains are welcome in Arizona. But please don't be a "pain" like Norbert and Odile were two years ago. Or Newton recently in the southeastern part of the state.

Sincerely,

HURRICANE PAINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 6
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP172016
300 AM MDT MON SEP 19 2016

A subjective Dvorak classification from TAFB, ADT intensity
estimates from UW/CIMSS, and the appearance of a faint eye on both
enhanced IR and shortwave IR satellite images indicate that Paine
has become a hurricane. The advisory intensity is set at 65 kt in
agreement with the TAFB estimate. Upper-level outflow is well
established over the western portion of the circulation but is
weak to the east. Even though the vertical shear is expected to
remain low to moderate for the next 24-36 hours, Paine's hurricane
status is likely to be short-lived. The cyclone will begin to
traverse progressively cooler SSTs later today, and water
temperatures will drop below 22 deg C within 36 hours. This should
result in rapid weakening, and Paine is forecast to degenerate into
a remnant low in 48 hours before the center reaches the
north-central Baja California peninsula.

The initial motion estimate continues to be 315/13 kt. Paine is
expected to turn north-northwestward, northward, and eventually
north-northeastward while moving along the western periphery of a
deep-layer anticyclone centered near Texas. The official track
forecast is slightly faster than the previous one but near to, or a
little slower than, the latest multi-model consensus.

The wind radii have been adjusted using data from an ASCAT overpass
at 0430 UTC, which showed a slightly larger system.

Deep-layer moisture associated with Paine or its remnants is
expected to spread over portions of the southwestern United States
during the next day or two. This could enhance the rainfall
potential in these areas.

Looks like Paine will bring rain to S Cal.
They've been doing the rain dance for a while...

HURRICANE PAINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 7
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP172016
800 AM PDT MON SEP 19 2016

A 1008Z SSMI microwave pass showed that an impressive complete
eyewall structure has developed in Paine. While the eye is not yet
apparent in the standard infrared imagery, a transient eye has been
seen in the shortwave infrared pictures. Subjective Dvorak, ADT,
and AMSU intensity estimates have risen and now range from 65 to 85
kt. A blend of these give an initial intensity of 75 kt.

Despite the very rapid intensification observed in Paine - 40 kt in
24 hours - it is likely that the hurricane is at or very near its
peak intensity. Its forecast track takes it over quite cold water
in just a day at the same time that the southwesterly vertical
shear become moderate to high. Thus the NHC intensity forecast
shows steady weakening until Paine becomes a remnant low in 48
hours or sooner. This forecast is based upon a blend of the LGEM
statistical scheme and the GFDL and COAMPS dynamical models, and is
nearly the same as that from the previous advisory, despite the
higher initial intensity.

Paine is moving toward the northwest at 13 kt, as it is being
steered between a deep-layer ridge to its northeast and an
upper-level cut-off-low to its northwest. The tropical
cyclone should recurve to the north in about a day and then
decelerate as it encounters a weak low-level steering flow just west
of northern Baja California. The NHC track forecast is based upon
the tightly clustered members of the TVCN multi-model track
consensus and is slightly faster than the previous advisory.

Deep-layer moisture associated with Paine or its remnants is
expected to spread over portions of the northern Baja California
peninsula of Mexico and the southwestern United States during the
next day or two. This could enhance the rainfall potential in these
areas.

Even though the official forecast does not have Paine making
landfall as a tropical storm, the system will move close enough
to the west coast of Baja California that tropical-storm-force winds
are possible. Thus the Government of Mexico has issued a Tropical
Storm Watch for portions of the northwestern Baja California
peninsula.
