Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave a few
hundred miles south of the southwestern coast of Mexico have become
slightly better organized since yesterday. Some development of this
system is possible during the next day or so before environmental
conditions become less conducive over the weekend while the wave
moves to the west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph.

A weak area of low pressure located a few hundred miles south of the
southwest coast of Mexico has become better organized overnight, and
continues to produce persistent showers and thunderstorms. Some
additional development of this system is possible later today or
tonight before environmental conditions become less conducive over
the weekend while the system moves toward the west-northwest at 10
to 15 mph.

An area of low pressure located a few hundred miles south of the
southwestern coast of Mexico has continued to become better
organized during the morning and recent satellite wind data suggest
that a tropical depression is forming. If current trends continue,
advisories will likely be initiated later today. This system is
expected to move toward the west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph, well
offshore the coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

[TheAustinMan]

The NHC's probably waiting around for persistence after the mess that was Cosme, but other than that, the scatterometer data suggests that 96E's good to go for classification if it keeps this up.

Now a Depression

[StruThiO]

Tropical Depression Four-E Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP042019
300 PM MDT Fri Jul 12 2019

Convection associated with an area of low pressure located south of
the southwestern coast of Mexico has increased substantially since
last night. Furthermore, ASCAT data from 1630 UTC show that the low
has developed a small but well-defined center with maximum winds of
25-30 kt. The system now meets the criteria for a tropical cyclone,
and advisories have been initiated on Tropical Depression Four-E.
The initial intensity is 30 kt, based on the ASCAT data.

The depression is being sheared by strong upper-level easterly winds
and is not expected to last long. In fact all of the dynamical
models suggest that the depression will weaken and become a
post-tropical low in about 36 h, if not sooner. The statistical
guidance is a little higher, but still generally agrees that the
depression will not strengthen much. The official forecast shows the
cyclone becoming a short-lived tropical storm and then slowly
weakening through 48 h, and is generally close to IVCN.

The depression is moving west-northwestward, or 290/11 kt along the
southwestern periphery of a low- to mid-level ridge. There is
surprisingly little agreement in the track guidance on the track of
the depression for the brief period it survives, but they all
generally show it moving near its current heading for a day or so. A
turn toward the west is expected by Sunday as the cyclone weakens
and becomes shallow. I have no reason to favor any one solution over
another at this point, so the NHC forecast closely follows the
consensus at all forecast times.

Boy does this look lousy. Not sure why this is forecast to even become a tropical storm whatsoever.

Tropical Depression Four-E Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP042019
900 PM MDT Fri Jul 12 2019

The depression looks less organized than a few hours ago, with the
apparent low-level center displaced a fair distance from the
mid-level circulation to the southwest. In addition, deep
convection has decreased markedly during that time, although a new
burst is forming in the southwestern quadrant. The initial wind
speed is kept 30 kt in agreement with the latest Dvorak estimates.

The cyclone probably only has the convective maximum period
overnight to become a tropical storm before a combination of strong
shear, cooling SSTs, and upper-level convergence start a steady
weakening. In fact, the depression is forecast by all of the
dynamical guidance to lose deep convection near or just after 24
hours. Thus, the NHC intensity forecast is lowered 5 kt from the
previous one, similar to the consensus, and the remnant low timing
is pushed up to 36h as well.

An uncertain motion is 300/11 kt. A low- to mid-level ridge to the
north of the cyclone should gradually turn the depression westward
during the next couple of days with a slight increase in forward
speed. Models have come into better agreement on the track of the
depression, not too far from the previous NHC track prediction, so
the new forecast is basically the same as the previous one.

[cycloneye]

Tropical Depression Four-E Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP042019
300 AM MDT Sat Jul 13 2019

The depression has a ragged and sheared appearance. The low-level
center briefly became exposed several hours ago before a burst of
deep convection developed over the southwestern semicircle. The
subjective satellite intensity estimates continue to support a 30-kt
system, which is the initial intensity for this advisory.

The convective maximum over warm SSTs will likely maintain this
current increase in the convection through mid morning. Thereafter,
the circulation is expected to entrain stable air to its west while
continuing to be impacted by 20 kt of northeasterly shear. This
should cause a weakening trend to begin later on today or tonight.
By Sunday, the system is expected to become a remnant low devoid of
deep convection. Shortly thereafter, the low will degenerate into a
trough. The official intensity forecast is in agreement with all
available intensity guidance, with just some minor variations in
timing noted between the model solutions.

The current motion is 305/13 kt. The aforementioned exposed center
allowed for a northeastward adjustment of the cyclone's position
over the past 12 hours or so. This northwestward motion is expected
to continue while the system maintains its convection. Once the
convection dissipates, the system will become steered more toward
the west-northwest to west in the lower-level steering flow. The
latest forecast track is very near the previous official forecast
and is near the track model consensus.

Tropical Depression Four-E Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP042019
900 AM MDT Sat Jul 13 2019

There are no changes of significance to report on the depression or
its official forecast. The system is still strongly sheared from
the east, and Dvorak classifications from TAFB and SAB support
maintaining the cyclone's intensity at 30 kt. First-light visible
imagery revealed that the depression's center is still exposed to
the northeast of a small area of deep convection. All of the
global and hurricane dynamical models indicate that the system will
begin to weaken later today and could dissipate as early as late
Sunday or early Monday due to the combination of a dry near-storm
environment and unfavorable upper-level winds. There is no change
to the NHC intensity forecast, which closely follows the intensity
consensus.

The initial motion estimate is 300/12 kt. The cyclone will likely
turn westward as it weakens and loses its deep convection later
today or tonight, and then continue on a westward heading until it
dissipates in a couple of days. The NHC forecast continues to
closely follow the track model consensus, with a little extra weight
given to the GFS model which has performed well for the depression
so far.
