A broad area of low pressure located about 750 miles south-southwest
of Manzanillo, Mexico, is producing a large area of disorganized
cloudiness and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected
to be conducive for gradual development during the next several
days, and a tropical depression could form later this week. This
system is forecast to move generally westward at around 10 mph for
the next couple of days, and then turn northwestward and then
northward by the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent

A large area of cloudiness and thunderstorms associated with a
broad area of low pressure is located about 900 miles
south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula. Although the system has changed little in organization
since yesterday, environmental conditions are expected to be
conducive for gradual development during the next several days, and
a tropical depression is likely to form later this week or over the
weekend. This system is forecast to move westward to
west-northwestward at around 10 mph for the next couple of days
and then turn northward by the weekend.

idk why ppl stopped posting here

A broad area of low pressure is located about 800 miles south-
southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.
While shower and thunderstorm activity has increased during the past
several hours, there are still no signs of a well-defined surface
circulation. Environmental conditions are expected to support the
development of a tropical depression over the weekend while the
disturbance moves slowly toward the northwest and then north at
about 5 to 10 mph.

Clearly this hasn't developed since yesterday morning. What's holding it back?

5 pm TWO ...

Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a broad area of
low pressure located about 800 miles south-southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California peninsula has not become any
better organized during the past several hours. Environmental
conditions are still expected to support the formation of a
tropical depression over the weekend. This disturbance is moving
slowly toward the northwest at about 5 to 10 mph, and a turn toward
the north is expected in a day or two.

Starting to make progress again.

A large low pressure area centered about 900 miles southwest of the
southern tip of Baja California Sur is producing disorganized shower
and thunderstorm activity. Satellite images indicate that the low's
circulation, although still broad, is gradually becoming better
defined, and environmental conditions are conducive for a tropical
depression to form during the next day or two. This disturbance is
expected to move slowly northward during the next few days.

Almost there ...

Showers and thunderstorms are gradually becoming better organized in
association with a large low pressure system located about 900 miles
southwest of the southern tip of Baja California Sur. Environmental
conditions are conducive for development, and a tropical depression
will likely form later today or Sunday. This disturbance is

No change. Certainly taking its time!

A low pressure system located about 850 miles southwest of the
southern tip of Baja California Sur continues to produce a large
area of showers and thunderstorms. Satellite data indicates that a
well-defined surface circulation does not yet exist. Environmental
conditions are forecast to remain conducive for development while
the system moves slowly northward, and a tropical depression is
expected to form on Sunday.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHTEEN-E SPECIAL DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP182016
1000 AM PDT SUN SEP 25 2016

Deep convection associated with the low pressure area located well
southwest of the Baja California has become better organized
overnight, and early morning visible satellite imagery indicate
that the circulation has become better defined. Based on these
observations, and Dvorak classifications of T2.0 and T1.5 from
TAFB and SAB respectively, advisories are being initiated on a
30-kt tropical depression at this time. The depression is currently
located over warm water and within an area of low vertical wind
shear, which is favorable for some gradual strengthening today.
However, in about 24 hours, the tropical cyclone is forecast to move
into an area of higher southwesterly shear caused by large mid- to
upper-level low and associated trough over northwestern Mexico. The
global models suggest that the shear will become quite strong in 36
to 48 hours as the cyclone begins moving over cooler waters. This
should result in a rapid spin down, and the system is likely to
become a post-tropical remnant low within 3 days. The official
intensity foreast is slightly above the SHIPS guidance but is in
good agreement with the intensity consensus.

Since the depression is still in its formative stage, the initial
motion is a somewhat uncertain 360/4 kt. The cyclone is expected to
be steered slowly northward or north-northeastward during the next
couple of days around the western portion of a weak mid-level ridge
that extends southwestward from southern Mexico. By 72 hours, the
low should turn northwestward in the low-level steering flow after
it weakens and becomes a vertically shallow system. Although the
ECMWF and GFS models are on opposite sides of the guidance envelope,
the track models are in general agreement on the overall scenario
and the NHC forecast lies near the multi-model consensus.

Wow, that was unexpected! Something similar happened to Howard earlier this year, the first advisory was a special one outside of the normal advisory times.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHTEEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 2
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP182016
200 PM PDT SUN SEP 25 2016

The overall organization of the depression has not changed much
since this morning. The center is exposed to the north of the main
area of thunderstorm activity, with some banding noted over the
northeastern quadrant. Visible imagery shows that there are
several smaller swirls rotating around the mean center. Dvorak
intensity estimates are T2.5/35 kt from TAFB and T1.5/25 kt from
SAB, so the initial intensity remains 30 kt for this advisory.

The depression is forecast to remain over warm water and to be in a
low-shear environment during the next 12 to 24 hours, but the large
and sprawling nature of the system suggests that any intensification
should be slow to occur. By late Monday, the cyclone will be
moving into an area of increasing southwesterly shear, and by
Tuesday the system will be moving over cooler waters and into
a more stable air mass. These conditions should result in weakening
within 48 hours, and the system is expected to become a remnant low
in about 3 days. The NHC intensity forecast is unchanged from the
previous advisory and is once again in best agreement with the IVCN
consensus model.

The depression is moving northward or 360/6 kt. The track forecast
reasoning is unchanged from the previous advisory. The cyclone
should move north-northeastward around the western portion of a
weak ridge that extends southwestward from southern Mexico.
Although most of the track models agree with this scenario, the
GFS and GFDL take a stronger and deeper cyclone more northeastward,
and northward around the aforementioned upper-level low later in the
period. The NHC track favors the ECMWF and GFS ensemble mean
solutions, which show a weaker and more shallow system turning
northwestward well west of the Baja California peninsula. The new
NHC forecast is essentially an update of the previous advisory.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

Doesn't seem like future Roslyn will become much. Shear should take it out before it significantly intensifies.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHTEEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 3
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP182016
800 PM PDT SUN SEP 25 2016

The cloud pattern of the depression has not changed much during the
last several hours. The center of the system is partially exposed
on the west side of a convective band. Satellite images also show
a pronounced dry slot to the west and northwest of the center. The
Dvorak classifications remain T2.5/35 kt from TAFB and T1.5/25 kt
from SAB, and based on these estimates, the initial wind speed is
held at 30 kt.

Some slight strengthening is possible overnight or on Monday while
the system remains over warm water and in an environment of light to
moderate shear. After that time, the environment should become less
conducive with southwesterly shear increasing to more than 20 kt in
about 24 hours, which will likely end the opportunity for
strengthening. The system is forecast to cross the 26-deg-C
isotherm in 36 to 48 hours, and as a result, it should become a
remnant low by day 3. The global models show the remnant low
dissipating by the end of the forecast period, and that is reflected
in the official forecast. The new intensity forecast is a little
lower than the previous one and is in good agreement with the latest
intensity model consensus.

The center of the depression has wobbled a bit to the west of the
previous track, and the current motion estimate is 345/6 kt. A large
cut-off mid- to upper-level low over northwestern Mexico is expected
to drift southwestward during the next day or two. This should
cause the system to turn north-northeastward to northeastward on
Monday, and continue in that general direction through mid-week.
Once the system becomes a shallow remnant low, a turn to the
west-northwest is predicted, following the low-level trade wind
flow. The NHC track forecast is not too different from the previous
one, and is in best agreement with the GFS ensemble mean and a
consensus of the GFS and ECMWF models.

TROPICAL STORM ROSLYN DISCUSSION NUMBER 4
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP182016
200 AM PDT MON SEP 26 2016

The sheared cloud pattern in infrared satellite imagery has changed
little since the previous advisory. However, a 0304Z SSMI/S pass
indicated the low-level structure had improved markedly, with a
sharp hooked band wrapping more than half around the now
well-defined low-level circulation center. The initial intensity has
been increased to 35 kt based on a Dvorak classification of T2.5/35
kt from TAFB and the improved low-level structure indicated in
SSMI/S 37 GHZ data. This makes Roslyn the seventeenth named storm of
the 2016 eastern North Pacific hurricane season.

The initial motion estimate is 020/4 kt. The advisory position had
to be adjusted more than 30 nmi to the east of the previous advisory
track based on recent SSMI/S and AMSU microwave center fixes.
Otherwise, the previous track forecast rationale remains unchanged.
A large mid- to upper-level low currently located over the central
Baja California peninsula is expected to continue moving westward to
west-southwestward during the next day or two. The combined
southwesterly flow between that low and a deep-layer ridge located
to the east and southeast of Roslyn should keep the tropical cyclone
moving slowly north-northeastward to northeastward for the next 48
hours. After that, Roslyn is expected to weaken into a shallow
remnant low, turning northward on day 3 and then northwestward on
day 4. The new NHC track forecast is to the right of the previous
advisory track, mainly due to the more eastward initial position,
and lies close to the various consensus models.

Little if any strengthening is expected due to gradually increasing
southwesterly vertical wind shear and a very dry mid-level moisture
regime characterized by humidity values less than 40 percent. By 36
to 48 hours, the vertical shear is forecast to increase to more than
30 kt, which is expected to erode the deep convection and induce
steady weakening. As a result, Roslyn is forecast to become a
remnant low by 48 hours, but this could occur sooner. The GFS and
ECMWF models show the remnant low dissipating by the end of the
forecast period when Roslyn will be moving over sub-24C SSTs. The
new intensity forecast is identical to the previous advisory and
closely follows the IVCN intensity consensus model.

INIT 26/0900Z 16.8N 119.5W 35 KT 40 MPH
12H 26/1800Z 17.2N 119.2W 35 KT 40 MPH
