John looks like he's ready to blow his angry lid off.

Normally I'd dismiss this but one thing John has in common so far with Rick is the duel swirling inner-banding during this stage of pre-EI. Rick's was a bit more rapid and tight. My guess for max is 130 knots.

Wouldn't it be something if both Hector and John became category 5 hurricanes at the same time? I'd give that a 4% chance. Who would go first?

This could be a category 5, looking more and more likely. And if recon finds 140-kt winds or greater on Hector.... woah, that will be historic.

Same for me, I was seeing a strange file name with no discussion.

Seems to be fixed now though.

Tropical Storm John Discussion Number 4...Corrected
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122018
900 AM MDT Mon Aug 06 2018

Corrected to remove the percent symbols in the text

Early morning visible satellite images and recent microwave data
show that John continues to quickly become better organized.
Banding features now wrap nearly completely around the center, with
the development of a fairly symmetric CDO. One-minute GOES-16
imagery also show several overshooting convective cloud tops near
and to the east of the center. A TAFB Dvorak estimate of T3.5 was
the basis of the 1200 UTC intensity of 55 kt, but with the increase
in organization since that time, and raw objective T-numbers above
4.0 for the past few hours, the advisory intensity has been
increased to 60 kt.

John is within a very favorable environment for intensification.
The hurricane will be moving over SSTs around 30C, and in a low
shear and moist environment. These conditions are expected to
allow for rapid strengthening during the next day or so. The SHIPS
Rapid Intensification Index shows a nearly 80 percent chance of RI
over the the next 24 h, and DTOPS gives an 80 percent chance of a
40 kt increase in intensity during the next 24 h. Based on these
data and the very aggressive guidance, the NHC forecast calls for a
40 kt increase in strength from 1200 this morning through 1200 UTC
Tuesday. The NHC forecast calls for a peak intensity that is close
to the FSSE and HCCA models in 36 to 48 hours. After that time,
John will be moving over cooler waters and into a more stable
environment which is expected to cause rapid weakening.

John is moving west-northwestward at about 7 kt. The tropical
storm should turn northwestward and accelerate over the next day or
so as it is steered around the western portion of a mid-level ridge
that is centered over northern Mexico. As noted in the previous
discussion, some interaction with Ileana is likely, which could
cause some slow down of the forward speed of John. However since
John is the larger system, it should remain the dominant tropical
cyclone. The latest dynamical model guidance was similar to the
previous cycle and no significant change to the NHC forecast was
required. The NHC forecast is in best agreement with the ECMWF and
is close to the HFIP corrected consensus.

Is it me, or is there an eye starting to clear?

certainly looks like one. I'd go 65 knots.

Yep it's an eye. We'll have some microwave passes soon that'll confirm if they don't miss the center.

Hurricane John Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122018
300 PM MDT Mon Aug 06 2018

John has continued to intensify since the previous advisory.
Visible satellite images continue to indicate an increase in
banding and very recent pictures show the formation of a banding
eye. As a result, the initial intensity is increased to 65 kt,
which is based on a TAFB Dvorak T-number of 4.0 and UW/CIMSS
objective Dvorak estimates that are close to 65 kt. John becomes
the fifth hurricane of the 2018 eastern North Pacific hurricane
season.

John is forecast to remain within a very favorable environment for
strengthening during the next day or so. Although some of the
intensity guidance is not quite as aggressive as this morning, the
various rapid intensification indices still show a high likelihood
of rapid strengthening during the next 24 hours. The NHC forecast
once again calls for rapid intensification and brings John to major
hurricane strength within 36 h. The updated NHC intensity forecast
is near the upper-end of the guidance in best agreement with the
latest SHIPS, HCCA, and FSSE models. After 48 h, John will be
moving over much cooler waters and into a less conducive
thermodynamic environment. This should result in rapid weakening,
and John is forecast to become a remnant low by day 5.

John is moving northwestward at about 7 kt. The hurricane is
forecast to move northwestward around the western periphery of a
mid-level ridge over northern Mexico during the next few days. Once
the system weakens and becomes a more shallow cyclone late in the
forecast period, it should turn westward in the low-level flow.
The overall track envelope has shifted eastward this cycle, with
the GFS and HWRF along the eastern edge of the track guidance
envelope while the ECMWF and UKMET are along the western side.
The new NHC forecast has been adjusted eastward and lies between
the ECMWF and the various consensus aids.

Due to the eastward shift in the forecast track and the predicted
increase in the size of John, interests in the southern portion of
the Baja California peninsula should monitor the progress of this
system.

I take back my predictions on John, I don't like the structure. Too broad and loose for explosive intensification. Eyewall is trash. I saw something that wasn't there this morning as the banding wasn't swirling in the same manner as one would think of EI.

EDIT: Looking at IR John's appearance is even more atrocious than I initially thought. Somehow John is devoid of deep convection in a spot where hot towers should be plentiful due to the environment. I don't even know how John will reach 85 knots anytime soon. Ileana must be robbing John's head (north and east side) of energy. Also sprawling. John must have realized its not 2015 and is 2018'ing.

Great structure but cloud tops seem to be quickly warming. This is looking weird. Odds of a Cat 3/4 are dropping.
