Kingarabian, if you dont mind explaining...what does that mean for the storm? My google searches have not helped me understand.

Earlier today shear weakened the system and blew off most of the convection near the center of the storm. The eyewall collapses and the LLC (low level circulation) slowly becomes exposed which is a big flag that the system has considerably weakened or is undergoing major weakening. So as of late, IR imagery and microwave imagery show that convection has built over the LLC and a CDO has formed. A CDO developing means the system is reorganizing and re-trying to build its core.

Yes, no question about it. It appears to be a hurricane again with winds around 75 knots based on the smrf or 65 knots based on the flight level. I'd mix the two and go 70 knots.

My knowledge of recon data is incredibly limited, but aren't those hurricane force winds?

Thank you so much for explaining that! It is truly fascinating. Mother nature!

Yes...The smrf also supports this as a 75-80 knot storm. If they choose to mix the two they'll need to go 70-75 knots.

78 knt * .9 would be around 70 knots.

I think CPHC should've raised it to a hurricane. At least people would take it more seriously. Most people I talked to today are all like, "Eh, just one storm. Gonna be NOTHING!" *sigh*

Tropical Storm Olivia Discussion Number 43
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI EP172018
1100 PM HST Mon Sep 10 2018

Hurricane Hunters from the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron are
again penetrating Olivia's core this evening, and found the low-
level center further east than anticipated. Some conflicting data
exists as to the current intensity, as the central pressure has
risen, but winds in the northwest quadrant were stronger than
earlier today.
A blend of the data supports maintaining the initial
intensity at 60 kt for this advisory.

The initial motion estimate for this advisory is 280/8 kt, with
Olivia still being steered by a mid-level ridge centered to the
distant northeast. Track guidance continues to indicate that a mid-
level ridge building to the northwest of Olivia will induce a
motion toward the west and west-southwest, with this expected to
begin on Tuesday. At 72 hours and beyond, an upper level low is
expected to develop between the ridge and Olivia, imparting a
west-northwest motion on the tropical cyclone. The updated track
forecast is shifted just slightly to the south of the previous,
mostly after day 2, so the track forecast near the islands has
changed little. Notable along-track differences between the GFS and
ECMWF/HWRF exist, with the ECMWF/HWRF continuing to bring Olivia
over the islands about 6-12 hours faster. The official forecast is
on the north side of the guidance envelope, is close to the
multi-model consensus TVCE, with the short-term forward speed a
blend of the GFS and ECMWF/HWRF.

Shear is expected to increase over the next 24 to 48 hours while
SSTs increase to greater than 28C. The shear is expected to induce
slow but steady weakening, and the updated intensity forecast is
close to the previous and closely follows the multi-model intensity
consensus IVCN.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Resist the temptation to make comparisons between Lane and
Olivia. Although Lane was a stronger tropical cyclone near the
islands, it did not bring direct core impacts to the state. In some
areas, Olivia could bring significantly worse impacts than those
brought by Lane. Those impacts could include intense flooding
rainfall, damaging winds, and large and dangerous surf.

2. It is important to not focus on the exact forecast track
and intensity when planning for Olivia. Regardless of the track
that Olivia takes as it approaches the islands, significant impacts
can be expected away from the center. In particular, the
mountainous terrain of Hawaii can produce localized areas of
strongly enhanced wind gusts and rainfall.

Gots to be kidding? :eek: Tens of thousands of dollars are probably spent on each recon mission and yet they choose not to use the data collected. wow.

Like I said previously, they should've kept it as a Cat.1 for continuity's sake. I mentioned there was a strong possibility that the system will oscillate between strong TS status and Cat.1 status. They probably didn't want to upgrade the system back to a hurricane to cause panic only for the system to weaken again.

Hurricane hunters about to make a pass again so we'll see.

Were any of the readings flagged or anything to suggest them not raising the intensity?

Some were, but there were enough unflagged readings for this to at least be bumped to 65kts--75mph.

I'm concerned that they haven't really closed down schools or businesses yet. Don't know how conditions will be but sounds a bit precarious to be out in the upcoming weather.

Olivia's motion continues to be due west. The longer it keeps this up, the more there's a risk to Molokai/Oahu.
