Re: EPAC: DANIEL - Hurricane
My personal predictions on hurricanes becoming pretty powerful have been well supported lately.....what is going on??? I tend to argue against NHC predictions.

Its really amazing how its trying to strengthen even though its over 25c ssts..
What is the MPI for 25 C?

HURRICANE DANIEL DISCUSSION NUMBER 19
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP042012
200 PM PDT SUN JUL 08 2012
CENTRAL CONVECTION HAD BEEN DIMINISHING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY...
ALTHOUGH RECENTLY CLOUD TOPS NEAR THE EYEWALL HAVE COOLED. THE EYE
IS STILL APPARENT IN INFRARED IMAGERY...AND IS CLOUD FILLED ON THE
VISIBLE IMAGES. THE ADVISORY WIND SPEED IS HELD AT 90 KT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM TAFB AND SAB.
ALTHOUGH DANIEL SHOULD REMAIN IN A LOW SHEAR ENVIRONMENT FOR THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...GRADUAL WEAKENING IS LIKELY AS THE TROPICAL
CYCLONE MOVES OVER RELATIVELY COOL WATERS AND THROUGH A STABLE AIR
MASS. THE NHC INTENSITY FORECAST IS CLOSE TO THE LGEM PREDICTION
AND THE INTENSITY MODEL CONSENSUS.
DANIEL CONTINUES ITS PERSISTENT WESTWARD TREK AND THE CURRENT MOTION
ESTIMATE IS 275/12. THE TRACK FORECAST SCENARIO HAS NOT CHANGED
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. A PRONOUNCED MID-TROPOSPHERIC
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN AN EASTERLY STEERING
CURRENT FOR THE CYCLONE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE OFFICIAL
TRACK FORECAST IS BASICALLY AN EXTENSION OF THE PREVIOUS ONES AND
LIES BETWEEN THE LATEST GFS AND ECMWF TRACKS.
FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS
INIT 08/2100Z 15.2N 125.0W 90 KT 105 MPH

Re: EPAC: DANIEL - Hurricane
How do you arrive at the conclusion that the eye is warming by looking at a conventional channel-4 image? Doesn't make any sense to me.

No I just posted that picture because it looked good. Sorry for the confusion.
My basis for saying that they eye is warming is based on the last few frames and analysis from ADT:
Code: Select all
UW - CIMSS
ADVANCED DVORAK TECHNIQUE
ADT-Version 8.1.3
Tropical Cyclone Intensity Algorithm
----- Current Analysis -----
Date : 08 JUL 2012 Time : 213000 UTC
Lat : 15:09:38 N Lon : 125:15:33 W
CI# /Pressure/ Vmax
4.6 / 975.8mb/ 79.6kt
Final T# Adj T# Raw T#
4.6 5.0 5.0
Estimated radius of max. wind based on IR : 13 km
Center Temp : -0.2C Cloud Region Temp : -52.0C
Scene Type : EYE
Positioning Method : RING/SPIRAL COMBINATION
Ocean Basin : EAST PACIFIC
Dvorak CI > MSLP Conversion Used : PACIFIC
Tno/CI Rules : Constraint Limits : NO LIMIT
Weakening Flag : OFF
Rapid Dissipation Flag : OFF
C/K/Z MSLP Estimate Inputs :
- Average 34 knot radii : 87km
- Environmental MSLP : 1009mb
Satellite Viewing Angle : 21.0 degrees
Edit:
Really funny how the weakening flag is off right now despite t/he dry air and very cool SST's.
How does a storm strengthen with this much dry air around it?

Re: EPAC: DANIEL - Hurricane
Isn't the low shear the reason why the dry air hasn't penetrated into the system?
