Finnally is a Hurricane.

BULLETIN
Hurricane Sergio Advisory Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP212018
900 PM MDT Mon Oct 01 2018

...SERGIO BECOMES A HURRICANE...


SUMMARY OF 900 PM MDT...0300 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...10.9N 112.0W
ABOUT 760 MI...1220 KM SW OF MANZANILLO MEXICO
ABOUT 840 MI...1350 KM S OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...75 MPH...120 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 265 DEGREES AT 14 MPH...22 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...992 MB...29.30 INCHES



Hurricane Sergio Discussion Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP212018
900 PM MDT Mon Oct 01 2018

A just-received GMI overpass indicates that Sergio has become better
organized with formation of a well-defined eye and eyewall under a
convective overcast with cloud tops to -85C. Satellite intensity
estimates are in the 55-65 kt range, and based on the improved
structure, the intensity will be set at the upper end of that range.
Thus, Sergio is upgraded to a hurricane.

The intensity forecast is low confidence. The better structure of
Sergio is now conducive for rapid intensification. However, the
large-scale models forecast northeasterly vertical shear to increase
to 20-25 kt by 24 h, which should be strong enough to stop rapid
development, although the guidance suggests at least slow
strengthening during this time. The intensity forecast follows the
guidance trend in calling for gradual strengthening, but there could
be a 12-h or so burst of rapid intensification before the shear gets
too strong. The shear should subside after about 36 h while Sergio
is still over warm water, and the forecast shows the system becoming
a major hurricane near the 72 h point in response to the more
favorable conditions. After 72 h, a combination of decreasing
sea-surface temperatures along the forecast track and entrainment of
drier air should lead to gradual weakening.

The initial motion is 265/12. As stated in the previous discussion,
a westward motion at about the same forward speed is expected during
the next day or so while the storm remains on the south side of a
mid-level ridge. A turn to the west-northwest is forecast by late
Tuesday, followed by a northwestward motion on Wednesday as the
western portion of the mid-level ridge erodes due to a large scale
mid- to upper-level trough near the southwestern United States. By
the end of the forecast period, a ridge is expected to build to the
north of Sergio, which should cause a turn back toward the west. The
track guidance has changed little since the last advisory, and the
new NHC track is close to both the previous forecast track and the
consensus models.

He's got the flare up for it. Lets see if he can wrap it around.

Hurricane Sergio Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP212018
300 AM MDT Tue Oct 02 2018

Geostationary satellite imagery indicates that Sergio continues to
strengthen. The center is located within a fairly symmetric CDO
with cloud tops of -70 to -80 degrees C. Earlier microwave data
showed a well-defined eye and inner core, but a more recent AMSU
overpass suggests that there has been some slight erosion of the
eastern portion of the eye, possibly due to some intrusion of dry
mid-level air. Dvorak intensity estimates ranged from 75 to 90 kt,
and the initial intensity has been increased to a possibility
conservative 75 kt for this advisory.

The intensity forecast remains somewhat uncertain. Although
Sergio has developed an inner core and strengthened during the past
12 hour or so, the dynamical models suggest northeasterly shear
will increase over the hurricane today. This is expected to temper
the intensification somewhat over the next 12-24 hours, however,
most of the guidance shows at least gradual strengthening during
the next day or so. The NHC intensity forecast calls for a gradual
increase in wind speed over the next 36-48 hours, and is close to
the IVCN model consensus. After 72 h, cooler waters and the
entrainment of drier air is expected to cause gradual weakening.

Sergio is moving slightly south of due west or 265/12 kt. The
hurricane is currently located to the south of a mid-level ridge,
and Sergio should continue westward today. The global models show
the western portion of the ridge weakening over the next several
days, which should cause Sergio to turn west-northwestward, then
northwestward on Wednesday. By late in the week, another ridge
is predicted to build to the northwest of Sergio and the hurricane
is forecast to turn back toward the west. The overall guidance
envelope has changed little this cycle, and the new NHC track is
similar to the previous advisory and close to the various consensus
aids.

Could Sergio join the Pacific wide Cat 5 party in the next 1 to 3 days?

Here comes the eye. Easily will be the 9th major and 9th Cat 4 for the EPAC. He will have to keep those cloud tops very cold for a 5 given the conservative nature of the agencies these days.

A few days delayed, but definitely looks like RI may have begun if the dry air is mixed out enough

Hurricane Sergio Discussion Number 13
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP212018
900 AM MDT Tue Oct 02 2018

The cloud pattern of Sergio continues to become better organized on
satellite imagery. The hurricane has a very cold cloud-topped
central dense overcast, with a developing eye, surrounded by curved
banding features. The current intensity is set at 85 kt based on a
blend of subjective and objective Dvorak estimates. Sergio is
forecast to continue moving over warm waters, under moderate
vertical shear and within a moist mid-level airmass for the next
few days. Therefore, additional strengthening is likely, and Sergio
will probably become a major hurricane in a day or so. The official
intensity forecast is close to the latest model consensus, IVCN.

The hurricane has been moving westward at a slightly slower pace,
and the motion estimate is 270/11 kt. A mid-level ridge to the
north of the system will soon be eroding, due to a trough dropping
in from the northwest. This change in steering currents should
result in Sergio turning toward the west-northwest today followed
by a northwestward motion in 2-3 days. In the latter part of the
forecast period, the ridge builds back in, and this is likely to
cause the tropical cyclone to turn back toward the west. The NHC
track forecast is similar to the previous one and follows the
dynamical model consensus, TVCN, fairly closely.

Raw T# jumped to 6.6 as the eye became more evident. Definitely wouldn't be shocked to see it pass forecast intensity at peak.

Hurricane Sergio Discussion Number 14
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP212018
200 PM PDT Tue Oct 02 2018

Sergio has intensified significantly today. The eye of the
hurricane has become better defined, and is embedded in very cold
convective cloud tops. Outer banding features are also well
defined. Upper-tropospheric outflow is strong over the western and
southern portions of the circulation, and a little restricted to
the northeast. The advisory intensity is set, probably
conservatively, to 100 kt in agreement with a Dvorak estimate from
SAB. Only modest northeasterly shear is expected to affect Sergio
over the next few days. That, along with warm waters and a very
moist middle troposphere, should be conducive for further
strengthening. The official forecast is near the upper end of the
intensity guidance model suite.

The system continues moving mostly westward, or 280/11 kt. There
is little change to the track forecast reasoning from the previous
couple of advisory packages. A mid-level ridge to the north of
Sergio should weaken within the next 12 to 24 hours as a broad
trough drops in from the northwest. These changes in the steering
flow should cause the hurricane to turn toward the west-northwest by
this evening or tonight, and to begin moving northwestward on
Wednesday. The official track forecast is is very similar to the
previous one and, again, follows the latest multi-model consensus.

Some slight enlargements to the wind radii were made over the
eastern semicircle of Sergio based on scatterometer data.

How often is it that we have majors active in all three North Pacific basins? Can't be too common.

Sergio has pumped ~5 units of ACE so far. The NHC 5 day forecast yields an additional ~13 units. Euro has Sergio still around in 10 days.
