TROPICAL DEPRESSION ONE-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
8 PM PDT MON MAY 19 2003
THE TROPICAL DISTURBANCE TO THE SOUTH OF MANZANILLO MEXICO HAS
GRADUALLY BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED. ANIMATION OF VISIBLE IMAGERY
SHOWED A DECENT LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION. A FAIRLY WELL-DEFINED
CONVECTIVE BAND WAS OBSERVED OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN SEMICIRCLE OF
THE SYSTEM...AND THE DATA T-NUMBER FROM THE TROPICAL ANALYSIS AND
FORECAST BRANCH IS NOW 2.0 ON THE DVORAK SCALE. THEREFORE THE
SYSTEM IS BEING NUMBERED AS THE FIRST DEPRESSION OF THE EASTERN
PACIFIC SEASON. THE CYCLONE IS OVER VERY WARM WATER BUT THE
UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW IS NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE AT THE MOMENT. THE
INTENSITY FORECAST FOR THIS ADVISORY IS CONSERVATIVE...AND ABOUT 10
KT BELOW THE SHIPS GUIDANCE.
BEST GUESS AT INITIAL MOTION IS 270/8. THE GLOBAL MODELS SHOW A
WELL-ESTABLISHED MID-TROPOSPHERIC RIDGE TO THE NORTH OF THE
TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THEREFORE THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST CALLS FOR A WEST TO WEST-NORTHWEST TRACK DURING
THE PERIOD. THIS IS FAIRLY CLOSE TO...BUT SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF...THE
NOGAPS MODEL TRACK.

Well windshear shouldnt be too much of a factor.........Looking at a water vapor loop thier is some westerlies but they appear light.........I would say if anything this will stay on a course due west for atleast a couple of days or so before it gets caught up in the strong sw windflow just east of Hawaii.........Probably will become a min Cane before it weakens......

This is the floater and the TD looks like a storm already and that is what the TPC will do later today to classifie it as Andres.

Can't wait to get a visible shot today! Here's a portion of the 2AM Forecast Discussion from the NHC
THE CYCLONE CURRENTLY HAS FAIR TO GOOD OUTFLOW IN ALL DIRECTIONS...AND IF CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE IT SHOULD BECOME A TROPICAL STORM LATER TODAY. LARGE-SCALE MODELS INDICATE GENERALLY FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS THROUGH 48-72 HR...WITH SOME INCREASE IN SHEAR POSSIBLE AFTERWARDS AS THE CYCLONE MOVES INTO COOLER WATER. THE INTENSITY FORECAST THUS CALLS FOR STEADY
STRENGTHENING THROUGH 48 HR AND WEAKENING AFTER 72 HR IN AGREEMENT WITH THE SHIPS MODEL. ONE POTENTIAL INHIBITING FACTOR IS A LARGE AREA OF MID/UPPER-LEVEL DRY AIR SEEN IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY JUST NORTHWEST OF THE DEPRESSION. SHOULD THIS AIR ENTRAIN INTO THE CYCLONE IT COULD SLOW OR PREVENT DEVELOPMENT.

Wow. Looks like a tropical storm Ana will be here today, but I doubt that it will become a hurricane. It is running out of real estate.
