Definitely more well defined circulation, but convective structure needs some work.

I'd probably declare it honestly.

Satellite images indicate that the low pressure area located about
400 miles southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, has become better defined,
and a tropical depression appears to be forming. If the current
development trend continues, advisories will likely be issued this
afternoon or evening on this system. The low is forecast to move
slowly northwestward off the southwest coast of Mexico during the
next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...near 100 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...near 100 percent.

KNHC DDHHMM

Tropical Depression Twelve-E Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122018
400 PM CDT Sun Aug 05 2018

The low pressure area located a few hundred miles south of the
southwest coast of Mexico has become better defined today and the
associated deep convection has enough organization to classify the
system as a tropical depression, the twelfth tropical cyclone of the
2018 eastern Pacific hurricane season. The initial intensity is
set at 30 kt, which is in agreement with Dvorak satellite intensity
estimates from both TAFB and SAB.

The initial motion estimate is northwestward at about 6 kt. The
track and intensity forecast for the depression is complicated due
to the close proximity of Tropical Storm Ileana to its
east-southeast. Somewhat surprisingly, however, the track guidance
is in relatively good agreement on a general northwestward motion
around the western portion of a mid-level ridge over northern
Mexico during the next several days. Since the depression is larger
than Ileana, most of the global models suggest that Ileana will move
around the northeastern portion of the new tropical cyclone's
circulation and weaken and dissipate. The NHC track forecast is
near the middle of the guidance envelope between the slower ECMWF
solution, and the faster GFS, HWRF, and HMON tracks.

The depression is currently over very warm SSTs, within low shear,
and a moist atmosphere. These factors suggest that the depression
will steadily strengthen and the intensity guidance is quite
aggressive in intensifying the system. The NHC forecast is slightly
more conservative during the first 36 h since the system is still
quite broad and lacks an inner core. Regardless, the NHC forecast
brings the system to hurricane strength within 36 h, and shows a
peak intensity of 90 kt in 3 days, which is in agreement with the
HFIP corrected consensus model. Cool waters and less favorable
thermodynamic conditions should lead to steady to rapid weakening
late in the forecast period.

It would have been cooler if HECTOR were given this name instead. But wow, what a season!

Tropical Storm John Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122018
900 PM MDT Sun Aug 05 2018

Convection associated with Tropical Depression Twelve-E has
continued to become better organized, although recent microwave
satellite data suggest the low-level center is elongated from
northwest to southeast. Satellite intensity estimates from TAFB and
SAB have increased to 35 kt, and based on these the depression is
upgraded to Tropical Storm John.

The initial motion is 315/7. A westward-moving mid- to upper-level
trough over northern Mexico has weakened the subtropical ridge over
the northeastern Pacific, and the large-scale models are in good
agreement that John will move northwestward at an increasing
forward speed toward this weakness. A complicating factor is that
John may interact with Tropical Storm Ileana to the east. However,
John is much larger than Ileana, and the most likely impact of this
interaction is that John could move a little slower than currently
forecast. The new forecast track is a little to the north of the
previous track after 48 h, but is otherwise similar to the previous
forecast. The new track also lies just south of the cluster of
consensus models.

John is expected to be in an environment of very warm SSTs, low
shear, and a moist atmosphere through about 60 h. This environment
is quite favorable for rapid intensification (RI), as indicated by
high probabilities in the SHIPS RI index, and it is likely that RI
will begin as soon as the inner core of the storm becomes better
organized. The NHC forecast calls for the storm to become a
hurricane in 24-36 h and to reach a peak intensity of 95 kt in about
three days. After that, the forecast track takes John over rapidly
cooling sea surface temperatures, which should cause at least a
steady weakening. The intensity forecast is in best agreement with
the intensity consensus. It should be noted, however, that the
SHIPS and LGEM models both show more intensification than the
official forecast and make John a major hurricane in about three
days.

Tropical Storm John Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122018
300 AM MDT Mon Aug 06 2018

The convective pattern of John has become significantly better
organized during the past several hours, with a large central dense
overcast forming and cloud top temperatures to -85C. A 0706Z GPM
microwave pass shows the rapid development of an inner core since
the previous pass 6 hours ago, along with impressive curved banding
features. A blend of the satellite intensity estimates gave 45 kt
at 0600 UTC, but given the increase in organization since that time,
the advisory wind speed is set to 50 kt.

All systems are go for the rapid intensification of John in an
environment of very warm SSTs, high mid-level moisture and low wind
shear. With the inner core formation, John will likely strengthen
quickly until it reaches cooler waters after 48 hours. The various
rapid intensification aids are about as high as they get, roughly 60
to 90 percent depending on the threshold, increasing the confidence
in the forecast. Thus the new NHC wind speed prediction is raised
from the previous one, and calls for rapid intensification through
48 hours. It should be noted that even though the NHC forecast is
rather bullish, the corrected consensus aids, the SHIPS and LGEM
models all show an even higher peak intensity.

The GPM pass helped set the initial motion at 300/7 kt, somewhat to
the left of the previous estimate. Model guidance remains in fairly
good agreement that John should move northwestward soon at an
increasing forward speed toward a weakness in the subtropical ridge.
While some interaction with TS Ileana is anticipated, the much
larger John should dominate, leading to perhaps a temporary
slowdown. The latest NHC forecast is shifted to the west in the
first couple of days, following the trend of the model guidance, but
ends up very close to the previous forecast at day 5. The UKMET is
significantly farther west, perhaps due to it having the two
tropical cyclones analyzed with nearly the same size, and little
weight is placed on that model for the official forecast.

John certainly appears to have a good skeletal system to build on top of.

This doesn't have much time but John is well on its way to making the most of it.
