Agree with you, SAB has 4.5 estimate.

Shear to the north of the system has subdued noted by the expanding outflow to the N/NE. Good shot at RI in the next 24 hours before conditions become unfavorable again.

:uarrow: As long as shear remains low, 26C is ample enough to maintain strength if not intensify. So I would say it actually has about 48 hours left of ideal conditions. If shear remains around 10-12kts, It can maintain hurricane strength for another 84 hours. Only issue is dry air and how much gets entrained in the system.

Hurricane Aletta Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022018
300 PM MDT Thu Jun 07 2018

An eye has become apparent in visible geostationary satellite
imagery, although the central deep convection is not very symmetric
on enhanced infrared imagery. Based on a blend of objective and
subjective Dvorak T-numbers, the current intensity is estimated to
be 65 kt, which makes Aletta the first eastern North Pacific
hurricane of 2018. Since the system should continue to traverse a
warm ocean and experience weak vertical shear for the next day or
two, additional strengthening is forecast. By Saturday some
increase in shear is likely, which should cause weakening to
commence. The official intensity forecast is at the high end of
the numerical guidance.

Aletta has been moving somewhat north of the previous track
projections, and the initial motion is about 300/5 kt. The main
factors controlling the steering of the hurricane are a mid-level
ridge to the northeast and a weakness in the ridge to the northwest
of Aletta, as well as the future intensity of the cyclone. There is
significantly more spread in the track guidance model than is usual
for an east Pacific tropical cyclone. The GFS and HWRF, which
depict a stronger system, have the northernmost tracks. The ECMWF,
which does not show that strong of a cyclone in its forecast,
predicts the southernmost track. The official forecast lies between
these options and is close to the corrected consensus guidance.
This is somewhat north of the previous NHC track.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 07/2100Z 15.3N 110.0W 65 KT 75 MPH
12H 08/0600Z 15.6N 110.5W 75 KT 85 MPH

Yeah Aletta looks like it is finally getting its act together now. This system may get a good deal stronger than what a lot of the models are showing.

Dry air ls lurking but it's made tremendous progress today. I still have reservations about a major but it's at least making a run at it. Comparing its appearance today to yesterday's is like night and day.

If that eye starts to clear this thing could easily jump up 20-25 knots over night.

Compared to the AMSR2 pass taken @ 2030Z, this SSMIS pass shows that Aletta has constricted its eyewall quite a bit. Lot's of evidence that RI is going on and this thing is on its way to Cat.3 within the next 6 hours.

This system looks in a intense ri phase, with a more than reasonable chance @ reaching
cat4 intensity @ peak.
