EPAC: CARLOTTA - Post-Tropical

#1 Postby cycloneye » Wed Jun 13, 2018 7:03 am

EP, 93, 2018061306, , BEST, 0, 118N, 973W, 20, 1009, LO

An area of low pressure centered several hundred miles south-
southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec has become better defined
since yesterday. Environmental conditions are forecast to be
somewhat conducive, and slow development could occur during the
next couple of days as the system drifts north-northwestward. By
the weekend, interaction with land is expected to limit further
organization. Regardless of development, locally heavy rain
causing flash floods and mudslides is possible over the southern
portions of the Mexican states of Guerrero and Oaxaca beginning in
a day or so and continuing into the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

This may actually have some chance at making a run at TD or TS status. Conditions look ok but we won't see more than a weak TS.

Satellite-derived wind data indicate that an area of low pressure
centered about 375 miles south-southeast of Acapulco, Mexico,
continues to become better defined. Environmental conditions are
forecast to be somewhat conducive, and a tropical depression could
form over the next couple of days while the low drifts
north-northwestward. By the weekend, interaction with land is
expected to limit further organization. Regardless of development,
locally heavy rain causing flash floods and mudslides is possible
over the southern portions of the Mexican states of Guerrero and
Oaxaca beginning tomorrow and continuing into the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

This is a dark horse to become the fourth tropical depression of the season and perhaps even TS Carlotta. ASCAT showed that there is a decent circulation already:

A low pressure system located a few hundred miles south of Acapulco,
Mexico, continues to show signs of organization, however satellite
data show that the system does not currently have a well-defined
circulation. Environmental conditions are forecast to be
somewhat conducive for additional development and a tropical
depression could form over the next couple of days while the low
moves slowly north-northwestward. Regardless of development, locally
heavy rain causing flash floods and mudslides is possible over the
southern portions of the Mexican states of Guerrero and Oaxaca
beginning tomorrow and continuing into the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

A low pressure system located a couple of hundred miles south of
Acapulco, Mexico, continues to produce disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are forecast to be somewhat
conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression
could form over the next day or so while the low moves slowly
northwestward near or over the coast of Mexico. Regardless of
development, locally heavy rain causing flash floods and mudslides
is likely over the southern portions of the Mexican states of
Guerrero and Oaxaca through the weekend. Potential tropical cyclone
advisories could be initiated on this system later today.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.

I think this system might well surprise people and exceed some expectations, as Aletta and Bud recently did. The potential system is situated over some of the warmest and deepest oceanic heat content in the eastern North Pacific, and it is co-located with a region of strong atmospheric divergence, relatively weak vertical wind shear, and very high PWATs. The ECMWF consistently closes off a small vortex that intensifies rapidly as it nears and parallels the coast of Mexico. I think this has a good chance to become a Cat-1 or even borderline Cat-2 system prior to interacting with land, so long as it manages to develop a tight inner core, which conditions suggest is quite feasible. A good analog for this system, in terms of size, intensity, and track, might be Hurricane Carlos (2015).

Re: EPAC: INVEST 93E: 11 AM PDT TWO=90%-90%-TD may be forming

#15 Postby cycloneye » Thu Jun 14, 2018 12:29 pm

Satellite images indicate that an area of low pressure centered
about 120 miles south of Acapulco, Mexico, is becoming better
defined, and a tropical depression could be forming. If current
trends continue, advisories will be initiated this afternoon or
evening on this system. The low is expected to move slowly
northwestward near or over the coast of Mexico during the next
couple of days. The system is forecast to produce heavy rains, with
flash floods and mudslides likely over the southern portions of the
Mexican states of Guerrero and Oaxaca through the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

FV3, GFS, and ECMWF all develop this into a weak meandering TS offshore. SHIPS and LGEM are way too bullish here.

Tropical Depression Four-E Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP042018
400 PM CDT Thu Jun 14 2018

Overnight scatterometer data indicate that the circulation of the
system was open on the northwestern side. High-resolution GOES-16
1-min visible data indicate that the low is now closed, with a
well-enough defined circulation center. Since there is plenty of
banded convection, this system is being designated as a tropical
depression, and the initial wind speed of 30 kt is based off the
overnight scatterometer data.

The initial motion estimate is an uncertain 325/5 kt. A weak
mid-level ridge over Mexico is forecast to break down by tomorrow,
leaving the depression in an area of light steering currents. Much
of the model guidance linger the system just south of the coast of
Mexico for the next couple of days until the cyclone gets drawn
northward into a larger trough currently seen over the western Gulf
of Mexico. There is considerable uncertainty in the timing of this
poleward motion, however, with the UKMET, HMON, and COAMPS-TC models
faster than the rest of the guidance. This seems like a pretty
clear case of staying near the model consensus, given the weak
steering flow that makes it nearly impossible to choose one model
over another one. Thus, the official forecast shows a slow
northward motion, near the eastern Pacific model consensus TVCE, and
it should be emphasized that the forecast timing of landfall is
subject to large changes in the future.

The system is not particularly well organized at the moment, with a
few swirls seen in the visible imagery rotating around the larger
gyre. After the low consolidates, light-to-moderate shear with
very warm waters, and high mid-level humidity should lead to steady
intensification. This is a tricky forecast, however, since land is
so close to the north, which would prevent much strengthening. The
official forecast is a blend of the statistical-dynamical guidance
and the regional hurricane guidance, a bit lower than the model
consensus since the HWRF keeps the cyclone well offshore (unlike
the official prediction), leading to a stronger storm.

It has been an active early part of the eastern Pacific season.
This is the 2nd earliest 4th tropical cyclone on record in the
basin during the satellite era (1966-present), only 6 hours behind
the previous record in 1974.
