CPAC: EIGHT-C - Post-Tropical

[Kingarabian]

GFS really likes this one.



Possible Cat.4/5.

CPAC hype train go ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

[1900hurricane]

Wow, the GFS really does go ham with this as it nears the dateline.

[Extratropical94]

Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure continue to develop around 1100 miles southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. Although these thunderstorms remain poorly organized, upper level winds are projected to become less hostile Friday night through Saturday.

* Formation chance through 48 hours, medium, 50 percent.

[Extratropical94]

Disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure continue to develop around 1100 miles southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. Environmental conditions will remain conducive for tropical cyclone development over the next couple of days as it remains nearly stationary.

* Formation chance through 48 hours, medium, 60 percent.

[Extratropical94]

2. Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure about 1100 miles southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii remained nearly stationary this morning. Environmental conditions will remain conducive for tropical cyclone development over the next several days.

* Formation chance through 48 hours, high, 80 percent.

[Yellow Evan]

Not likely to be strong since the GFS is showing high shear, but

2. Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure located around 1000 miles southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii have become better organized today. Environmental conditions support tropical cyclone development, and a tropical depression is likely to form by early Saturday morning or through the day Saturday while the low remains nearly stationary.

* Formation chance through 48 hours, high, 90 percent.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHT-C DISCUSSION NUMBER 2
NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI CP082015
1100 AM HST SAT OCT 03 2015

TROPICAL DEPRESSION 08C IS A STRONGLY SHEARED SYSTEM. AN EXPOSED
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER...LLCC...DEFINED BY SPIRALING LOW
CLOUD LINES CAN BE SEEN ON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. OVER THE PAST
6 HOURS A 350NM DIAMETER AREA OF VERY COLD HIGH CLOUDS HAS MOVED OFF
FAR TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE LLCC WITH ONLY ISOLATED CUMULONIMBUS
CLOUDS POPPING UP NORTH OF THE CENTER. SUBJECTIVE DVORAK INTENSITY
ESTIMATES AT 1730 UTC WERE 2.0/30 KT FROM PHFO...SAB...AND JTWC. ADT
FROM UW-CIMSS ALSO SHOWED 30 KT. I WILL KEEP THE INITIAL INTENSITY
AT 30 KT.

WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE CENTER LOCATION BASED ON THE EXPOSED
LLCC I HAVE RE-BESTED THE 1200 UTC POSITION A BIT FARTHER
SOUTH...BUT EVEN AFTER THE ADJUSTMENT THE SHORT-TERM MOTION HAS
SHIFTED FARTHER SOUTHWEST. FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS...THE RELIABLE
TRACK MODELS SHOW EIGHT-C TRACKING WEST SOUTHWEST...THEN
WEST...ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF A DEEP LAYER RIDGE TO THE NORTH.
BEYOND THAT...THE MODELS SHOW EIGHT-C TRACKING TOWARD THE WEST
NORTHWEST WITH GRADUALLY INCREASING FORWARD SPEED AS THE RIDGE
SHIFTS SOUTHWEST AND A NORTH-SOUTH TROUGH DEEPENS SOUTH OF TROPICAL
STORM CHOI-WAN. THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK REMAINS CLOSE TO THE
PREVIOUS TRACK AND NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE CONSENSUS FROM THE TRUSTED
MODELS.

UW-CIMSS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AT 1800 UTC WAS 21 KT FROM THE SOUTH
SOUTHWEST WHILE SHIPS SHOWED 20 KT FROM THE SOUTHEAST. BASED ON
SATELLITE IMAGERY...IT APPEARS THERE IS STRONG SHEAR FROM THE
SOUTHWEST OVER EIGHT-C DUE TO A LOW ALOFT ABOUT 900NM NORTH OF THE
DEPRESSION. EIGHT-C IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE MOVING OVER 29-30 DEGREE
CELSIUS WATER...BUT STRONG SHEAR IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH 36
HOURS AS THE LOW ALOFT DIGS SOUTHWEST. WITH THIS SHEAR CONTINUING...
EIGHT-C IS UNLIKELY TO INTENSIFY. I HAVE KEPT THE INTENSITY AT
30KT. BEYOND 36 HOURS THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS LIKELY TO RELAX AS
THE LOW ALOFT WEAKENS AND MOVES NORTHWEST. GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION
MAY OCCUR IF THE DEPRESSION SURVIVES THAT LONG.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHT-C DISCUSSION NUMBER 3
NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI CP082015
500 PM HST SAT OCT 03 2015

TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHT-C REMAINS A STRONGLY SHEARED SYSTEM. THE
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER...LLCC...DEFINED BY SPIRALING LOW
CLOUD LINES...REMAINS COMPLETELY EXPOSED. OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS THE
COLD...HIGH CLOUDS HAVE DECREASED IN AREA AND MOVED OFF FAR TO THE
NORTHEAST OF THE LLCC WITH ONLY ISOLATED CUMULONIMBUS CLOUDS POPPING
UP NORTH OF THE CENTER. SUBJECTIVE DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES AT
2330 UTC WERE 2.0/30 KT FROM PHFO AND JTWC...WHILE SAB JUDGED THE
SYSTEM TOO WEAK TO CLASSIFY. ADT FROM UW-CIMSS SHOWED 30 KT. THERE
HAVE BEEN NO RECENT SCATTEROMETER DATA OVER THE CENTER OF EIGHT-C
BUT AN ASCAT PASS DID SHOW AN AREA OF 30 KT WINDS MORE THAN 400NM
SOUTHWEST OF THE CENTER. EIGHT-C LOOKS LIKE A MONSOON LOW RATHER
THAN A CLASSIC TROPICAL CYCLONE.

SOMEWHAT SURPRISINGLY...EIGHT-C MOVED SOUTH-SOUTHWEST THIS
MORNING...THEN TURNED TOWARD THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST. THE LARGE-SCALE
PATTERN WITH A DEEP-LAYER RIDGE TO THE NORTH STILL SUGGESTS THAT
EIGHT-C SHOULD MOVE IN A GENERALLY WEST DIRECTION. I WILL ASSUME
THE DEPRESSION IS MAKING A COUNTERCLOCKWISE LOOP AND WILL RESUME
A WESTWARD TRACK LATER THIS EVENING. THE RELIABLE TRACK GUIDANCE
SHOWS EIGHT-C TRACKING TOWARD THE WEST NORTHWEST WITH GRADUALLY
INCREASING FORWARD SPEED AS THE RIDGE SHIFTS SOUTHWEST AND A
NORTH-SOUTH TROUGH DEEPENS SOUTH OF TROPICAL STORM CHOI-WAN. ONCE
EIGHT-C COMPLETES ITS LOOP...THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK REMAINS
CLOSE TO THE PREVIOUS TRACK AND NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE CONSENSUS
FROM THE TRUSTED MODELS.

UW-CIMSS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AT 0000 UTC WAS A VERY HIGH 28 KT FROM
THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST WHILE SHIPS SHOWED 23 KT FROM THE SOUTHEAST.
THIS SHEAR IS DUE TO SOUTH-SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT BETWEEN AN
ANTICYCLONE TO THE EAST AND A TROUGH TO THE WEST OF THE DEPRESSION.
EIGHT-C IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE MOVING OVER 29-30 DEGREE CELSIUS
WATER...BUT THE SHEAR IS FORECAST TO REMAIN QUITE STRONG FOR THE
NEXT 12 HOURS BEFORE GRADUALLY SUBSIDING. WITH THE STRONG SHEAR
CONTINUING...EIGHT-C IS UNLIKELY TO STRENGTHEN THROUGH AT LEAST 36
HOURS AND COULD EVEN DISSIPATE AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE BEFORE THE
ENVIRONMENT BECOMES MORE FAVORABLE. I HAVE KEPT THE INTENSITY AT
30KT...BUT THERE IS HIGH UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE THE INTENSITY
FORECAST.

1100 PM HST SAT OCT 03 2015

LAST-LIGHT VISIBLE AND MORE RECENT 11-3.9 MICRON FOG PRODUCT
SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUE TO CLEARLY SHOW THE EXPOSED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER /LLCC/ OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHT-C. ORGANIZED
DEEP CONVECTION HAS BEEN ABSENT NEAR THE LLCC FOR OVER 12 HOURS
NOW...WITH JUST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN
SEMICIRCLE MORE THAN 150 MILES FROM THE CENTER AT PRESENT.
SUBJECTIVE DVORAK INTENSITY ANALYSES FROM PHFO AND JTWC WERE UNABLE
TO DETERMINE A DATA-T DUE TO THE LACK OF CONVECTION...WHILE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES REMAINED AT 2.0/30 KT DUE TO CONSTRAINTS. SAB
HAS CEASED PROVIDING FIXES...AND THE LATEST UW-CIMSS ADT INTENSITY
ESTIMATE IS 25 KT. THE INITIAL INTENSITY WILL BE LOWERED TO 25 KT
FOR THIS ADVISORY. IF ORGANIZED CONVECTION DOES NOT DEVELOP AND
PERSIST NEAR THE LLCC SOON...EIGHT-C WILL LIKELY BE DESIGNATED AS A
POST-TROPICAL REMNANT LOW ON SUNDAY MORNING.

EIGHT-C HAS MOVED TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST NEAR 5 KT DURING THE PAST
SEVERAL HOURS...AND RECENTLY SEEMS TO BE DRIFTING SLOWLY TO THE
EAST-SOUTHEAST. IT APPEARS THAT THE CYCLONE IS CONTINUING TO
MAKE A SLOW CYCLONIC LOOP. ALL OF THE RELIABLE GUIDANCE INSISTS THAT
EIGHT-C WILL COMMENCE A SLOW WEST-NORTHWEST MOTION ON SUNDAY...
WITH INCREASING FORWARD SPEED SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...AS A
STRONG LOWER/MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS NORTH OF THE CYCLONE. GLOBAL
MODELS FORECAST THIS RIDGE TO SHIFT SLOWLY WESTWARD WITH TIME...
WHICH SHOULD KEEP EIGHT-C ON A STEADY WEST-NORTHWEST TRACK THROUGH
120 HOURS. THE NEW OFFICIAL FORECAST IS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY TO THE
NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK...AND IS A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE
PREVIOUS TRACK AND THE TVCN MODEL CONSENSUS.

STRONG SOUTHERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE
DEPRESSION...WITH SHEAR MAGNITUDE ESTIMATED AT 23 KT BY SHIPS AND
28 KT BY UW-CIMSS. THIS SHEAR IS CAUSED BY THE FLOW ALOFT BETWEEN
AN UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE TO THE EAST AND A TROUGH TO THE WEST OF
THE DEPRESSION. SHIPS FORECASTS THE SHEAR TO REMAIN FAIRLY STRONG
FOR ANOTHER 18 TO 24 HOURS...THEN DECREASE THEREAFTER. ALTHOUGH
THE DEPRESSION WILL CONTINUE MOVING OVER WARM SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES OF 29-30C...AND THE SHEAR IS FORECAST TO LESSEN AFTER
24 HOURS...THE SHIPS...GFS/ECMWF AND HWRF SHOW LITTLE INTENSITY
CHANGE THROUGH THE NEXT 48 HOURS. WHILE THE SHIPS DEPICTS SOME
GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION THEREAFTER...THE GLOBAL MODELS AND HWRF KEEP
THREE-C AS A WEAK LOW...AND THE OFFICIAL FORECAST WILL CARRY A 25 KT
REMNANT LOW THROUGH 120 HOURS.

500 AM HST SUN OCT 04 2015

OVERNIGHT 11-3.9 MICRON FOG PRODUCT SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO
SHOW THE EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER /LLCC/ OF EIGHT-C AS A
LOW CLOUD SWIRL...WITH THE LLCC BECOMING LESS CLEARLY DEFINED DURING
THE PAST FEW HOURS. ORGANIZED DEEP CONVECTION HAS BEEN ABSENT NEAR
THE LLCC FOR OVER 18 HOURS NOW...WITH CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS
LOCATED MORE THAN 150 MILES TO THE NORTHWEST AND NORTH OF THE CENTER
AT PRESENT. SUBJECTIVE DVORAK INTENSITY ANALYSES FROM PHFO AND JTWC
WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE A DATA-T DUE TO THE LACK OF CONVECTION NEAR
THE LLCC. CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PHFO...JTWC AND UW-CIMSS
ADT RANGE FROM 1.5/25 KT TO 2.0/30 KT. EIGHT-C IS DESIGNATED AS A 25
KT POST-TROPICAL REMNANT LOW WITH THIS ADVISORY PACKAGE.

EIGHT-C HAS REMAINED NEARLY STATIONARY OVERNIGHT...AND APPEARS TO
HAVE RECENTLY COMMENCED A SLOW DRIFT TO THE NORTHWEST. ALL OF
THE RELIABLE GUIDANCE INSISTS THAT THE REMNANT LOW OF EIGHT-C WILL
COMMENCE A SLOW WEST-NORTHWEST MOTION TODAY...WITH INCREASING
FORWARD SPEED TONIGHT AND MONDAY...AS A STRONG LOWER/MID LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDS NORTH OF THE CYCLONE. GLOBAL MODELS FORECAST THIS RIDGE TO
SHIFT SLOWLY WESTWARD WITH TIME...WHICH SHOULD KEEP THE REMNANT LOW
ON A GENERAL WEST-NORTHWEST TRACK THROUGH 120 HOURS. THE NEW
OFFICIAL FORECAST IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND
TO THE TVCN MODEL CONSENSUS THROUGH 72 HOURS...THEN IS SHIFTED
SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK AND CLOSER TO THE TVCN AT 96
AND 120 HOURS.

STRONG SOUTHEASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR CONTINUES TO IMPACT
EIGHT-C...WITH SHEAR MAGNITUDE ESTIMATED AT 22 KT BY SHIPS AND 30 KT
BY UW-CIMSS. THIS SHEAR IS CAUSED BY THE FLOW ALOFT BETWEEN AN UPPER
LEVEL ANTICYCLONE TO THE EAST AND A TROUGH TO THE WEST OF THE
REMNANT LOW. SHIPS FORECASTS THE SHEAR TO WEAKEN RAPIDLY DURING THE
NEXT 24 HOURS...THEN REMAIN LESS THAN 10 KT THROUGH 72 HOURS.
ALTHOUGH THE REMNANT LOW WILL CONTINUE MOVING OVER WARM SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES OF 29-30C WITH LOW WIND SHEAR EXPECTED...NONE OF THE
INTENSITY MODELS SHOW ANY SIGNIFICANT REDEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. THE GFS DOES MAINTAIN THE REMNANT LOW AS AN IDENTIFIABLE
FEATURE THROUGH 120 HOURS...AND SO DOES THE OFFICIAL FORECAST.

THIS WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY ISSUED BY THE CENTRAL PACIFIC
HURRICANE CENTER ON EIGHT-C UNLESS REGENERATION OCCURS. ADDITIONAL

[Extratropical94]

TROPICAL DEPRESSION 1004 HPA AT 14N 178E WNW 10 KT

[euro6208]

Not much strengthening is forecast in the WPAC.

THESE WINDS ARE DUE TO A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE...THE
REMNANTS OF 08C...LOCATED NORTHEAST OF MAJURO. MODELS INDICATE
THIS DISTURBANCE WILL DEVELOP SLOWLY AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
TOWARD THE MARIANAS.

[1900hurricane]

In contrast to model runs from about a week ago, the latest guidance doesn't do much at all with 08C for at least a week. After that, it could find some more favorable conditions as it nears The Philippines, which is when some models redevelop it.

[euro6208]

Indeed...12Z EURO brings this down to 959 mb as it slowly recurves into the Ryukyu Islands. Not again...
