The last hurrah of the EPac outbreak? (99E is the red circle with a westward track shown with arrow)

What are the models forecasting for this one in terms of intensity?

In about 4 days from now 99E is going to be tracking over the same cooled down waters from Estelle, Danielle, etc.
Not much support from initial model runs for it to become anything more than a Cat 1 hurricane, if at all.

Hmmm, seems like it could be similar to Estelle then? Unless it organises very quickly to take advantage of the favourable conditions now.

Showers and thunderstorms are showing some signs of organization in
association with a broad area of low pressure located several
hundred miles south of Acapulco, Mexico. Environmental conditions
are expected to be conducive for further development of this system,
and a tropical depression is likely to form during the next couple
of days while it moves generally northwestward at about 10 mph to
the south of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent

Danielle was in the Atlantic, don't you mean Darby? :D

100%-100%

Satellite wind data show that the area of low pressure centered
about 300 miles southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, has a well-defined
center and is producing winds of tropical storm force. Shower and
thunderstorm activity has continued to become better organized, and
advisories will be initiated on this system as a tropical storm
this afternoon while it moves northwestward at about 10 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...near 100 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...near 100 percent

Re: EPAC: FRANK - Tropical Storm

TROPICAL STORM FRANK DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP072016
400 PM CDT THU JUL 21 2016

A 1600 UTC ASCAT-B scatterometer pass indicated that the weather
system located off the coast of Mexico has developed a well-defined
center of circulation, and maximum winds were around 40 kt. Based
on these data, advisories are being initiated on Tropical Storm
Frank, the sixth tropical storm to form in the eastern Pacific this
month. Frank currently has broken convective outer banding, but a
burst of convection is developing near the estimated center.

With the recent formation, the initial motion is somewhat uncertain
but is estimated to be northwestward, or 305/12 kt. Frank is
located to the south of a large and strong mid-level anticyclone
which is centered over the Southern Plains of the United States.
Although ridging will remain across the southern U.S. and northern
Mexico, the main center of the anticyclone is expected to migrate
westward over the Pacific Ocean during the next 48 hours, leaving a
minor break in the ridge near the Baja California peninsula. As a
result, Frank is expected to maintain a northwestward heading for
the entire forecast period but with a gradual decrease in forward
speed. There is a normal amount of spread in the track guidance,
and the initial NHC forecast is very near the various multi-model
consensus aids. Although the track is currently off the coast of
Mexico, there is still enough uncertainty that interests in the
southern portion of the Baja California peninsula should monitor
the progress of Frank. In fact, based on the wind speed
probabilities, there is currently a 1-in-4 chance of tropical storm
force winds affecting locations in extreme southern Baja California
Sur during the next 5 days.

Frank is currently over warm SSTs over 29C, and waters are expected
to remain warm for the next four days or so. Although some
vertical shear could persist for much of the forecast period, the
statistical-dynamical guidance and the HWRF show fairly quick
strengthening over the next few days. The NHC intensity forecast
follows suit and is near the higher end of the guidance, making
Frank a hurricane in about 36 hours. Some weakening is anticipated
after day 3 due to cooler waters and the possible continued shear.


FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 21/2100Z 14.9N 104.0W 40 KT 45 MPH
12H 22/0600Z 16.0N 105.4W 50 KT 60 MPH

Considering current structure, Frank might be a more rapid developer.
