This looks to be the one I believe... GFS consistently makes this a strong major hurricane. Baja California needs to monitor this closely.

Correct. The gfs has been showing this hitting the Cabo area for just about every run since this past weekend. Haven't looked at today's runs yet though. Was supposed to be going down there at the end of the minth, guess will find out shortly if I have to reschedule or not. Been trying to spread the word on a travel forum and nobody knew anything about the possibility of this.

Although models haven't been superb this year, this track by the GFS is just inside of short range and has considerable climo support. So a threat towards southern Baja definitely has credence in my opinion.

Right on in warning those folks on that travel forum. Last place you want to be is in a foreign country smashed by a hurricane.

Kingarabian,why is a big difference in track between GFS that goes to BCS and Euro that stays well away from land?

Looks to me that the GFS has a considerably stronger trough which digs lower, to the N of the system, compared to the Euro.

Image

So with the Euro overdoing ridges and the GFS overdoing trough's, you would split their solutions -- which would still pose a threat to Baja California.

Kingarabian,

This is the kind if responses I received today. Some people just seem to live in a world of denial and just assume since it's nothing right now, it won't be anything :roll:

People!! Chill!! It is not a hurricane or even a tropical storm..... It is a CHANCE of forming a tropical depression (rain storm). Even IF it forms, there is still a good chance it won't even hit Cabo. No need to panic. Yes, you may get rain.... You won't melt....lol

Don't worry a Hurricane is NOT heading to Cabo San Lucas. However if you click the link to the nhc above you will see that there is a possibility of a tropical depression that may bring some rain.

What can you do, that's just the way people are unfortunately.

Hopefully the Euro is right and it goes out to sea. But the Euro has been all over the place with this system if you look at its past runs, flip-flopping between a Baja hit/OTS solution, while the GFS remains very adamant about a Baja hit. 18z GFS is running so let's see what it shows.

18z GFS is a repetition of landfall at Los Cabos/BCS.

And in 90hrs. Going to be a big hit or huge bust for the gfs. With the euro being so different within the time frame leaves a big question mark still. I know the gfs has been beyond bad but hard not to notice within 90hrs and been so consistent run after run.

NHC sides with ECMWF so far.

A broad area of low pressure is located several hundred miles south
of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Shower
activity continues to show signs of organization, and a tropical
depression is expected to form within the next couple of days while
the system moves slowly northwestward. For more information on
this system, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National
Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Favoring the GFS atm largely due to historical model biases in this part of the world.

My opinions are mine and SHOULD not be treated as an official source of information. PLEASE see National Hurricane Center, or any other meteorological agencies, for that matter. By the way, I was born and came from Indonesia, which is rarely hit by tropical cyclones, but regardless, I have LOTS of interest in meteorology.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a low pressure system
located about 400 miles south of the southern tip of the Baja
California peninsula continue to show signs of organization, and it
appears that a tropical depression could be forming. If these
trends continue, advisories will likely be initiated on this system
later today. The low is expected to drift northward during the next
couple of days, and interests in the southern portion of Baja
California Sur should monitor the progress of this system. For more
information on this system, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by
the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...near 100 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...near 100 percent.

97E INVEST 170914 1200 17.0N 109.5W EPAC 35 1004

Looks like you were right. BT is at 35 knots and advisories will likely be initiated later today.

Edit: Only a few moments after I posted this they update the BT file to change 97E INVEST to 17E NORMA:

17E NORMA 170914 1200 17.0N 109.5W EPAC 35 1004
