This disturbance is rapidly organizing as SSD has classified it with 1.5 T number as the windfield is increasing and also it has ideal conditions aloft to intensifie into TD#3-E and later TS Carlos.

Well at least its something to look at while the Atlantic stays very calm.

This system continues to organize and will probably be a TD in the next 12 to 18 hours or so IMO. Carlos will follow soon after. Some associated is possible along the southern coasts of Mexico in the coming days.

I agree Ticka... at least there is something to monitor.

Looks very impressive... I guess we'll have to watch this and wait for something in the Atlantic to develop...

It's being impacted by some shear from the north at the moment, and you can even tell just by looking at satellite imagery. This will prevent significant intensificiation in the near future. However, it appears the shear will abait over the next 36 hours, which would put the system under a far more favorable environment. So, as long as the moutainous land of Mexico doesn't interfere too much with the inflow, steady strengthening is a distinct possibility as the week progresses. Should we see this become a classified tropical cyclone...a slow WNW to NW drift seems to be the most likely. Regardless if it develops or not, heavy rain will spread inland southern Mexico over the next several days, with the chance of flash flooding.

It would be great if Arizona could get some of the moisture from this tropical system!

It would be nice... but we can't get our hopes up only to get them put down.

This system is a likely cane

Wow, say it as it is, Derek! :lol:

I agree with you... looks like a very impressive system, and will likely become a nasty hurricane!

The wind shear is pretty high not too far west of this system at the current time. It apparently is expected to decrease in order for this system to become at least a tropical storm.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
10 PM PDT TUE JUN 24 2003

FOR THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC...EAST OF 140 DEGREES WEST LONGITUDE..

A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE IS LOCATED A FEW HUNDRED MILES SOUTH OF THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC. THIS SYSTEM HAS CHANGED LITTLE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...BUT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO. THE DISTURBANCE COULD BRING RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS TO THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF MEXICO AND PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AMERICA AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST AT 5 TO 10 MPH.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH THURSDAY.

FORECASTER PASCH

Interesting... they don't seem to think that it'll develop into anything further than a TD, at least they don't mention it. We'll see!

Very heavy rain coming onshore attm. Looks better organized this afternoon. Probably a TD soon.

Convection remains moderate, though it will probably die down a bit this evening due to diurnal fluctuation. The outflow and inflow pattern associated with this system is very healthy to say the least. The only quadrant that is being restricted is the northern, due to interaction with the mountainous terrain of Mexico. Overall though, it's a well organized system. On another note, T numbers are now 2.0 (30 kts) from the Satellite Analysis Branch. With the surrounding conditions relatively favorable, it will probably become a TD within the next 24 hours. A TS is distinct possibility too, if it stays far enough from land.

Model guidance suggests that we will see a curve northward into the Mexican coast over the next few days. However, the models also show most of the moisture dissipating as the storm moves inland.

Well TD#3-E formed tonight and is going to be Carlos as conditions will be favorable in the next couple of days.

Tropical storm Carlos forms this afternoon near the Mexican coast and that is why the TS warning for portions of the coast.
