Tropical Storm Fabio in EPAC

TROPICAL DEPRESSION SEVEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP072006
200 PM PDT MON JUL 31 2006

SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 1411Z QUIKSCAT OVERPASS INDICATE THAT THE
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...LOCATED ABOUT 830 NM SOUTHWEST OF THE
SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA...HAS FORMED INTO A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION. THE TROPICAL CYCLONE IS FORECAST TO REMAIN IN A
MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT OF RELATIVELY STABLE AIR AND
MODERATE EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY SHEAR OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS...AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER COOLER SEA SURFACES
TEMPERATURES IN 48 HOURS. THEREFORE...ONLY MODEST STRENGTHENING IS
ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH GRADUAL WEAKENING
LIKELY THEREAFTER. IN FACT...THE GLOBAL MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE
SYSTEM COULD DISSIPATE BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

INITIAL MOTION IS ESTIMATED AT 280/11. MICROWAVE IMAGERY AND THE
AFOREMENTIONED QUIKSCAT PASS SUGGEST THAT THE CIRCULATION IS A BIT
TO THE SOUTH OF THE GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE FIX ESTIMATES. ALL
MODELS SUGGEST A GENERAL WEST-NORTHWESTWARD MOTION WITHIN THE
DEEP-LAYERED FLOW ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL
ANTICYCLONE THAT IS FORECAST TO BUILD TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE
TROPICAL CYCLONE. IN RESPONSE TO THE EXPECTED BUILDING OF THE
RIDGE...THE NHC TRACK FORECAST SHOWS A SLIGHT INCREASE IN FORWARD
SPEED LATER IN THE PERIOD.

Awwww, it's so cute.

[HurricaneHunter914]

Seems like the EPAC wanted to get one final TC before there active month ended.

[Andrew92]

The name Fabio has recently been one of the weakest storms in the EPAC in the year of rotation. I barely remember it in 1994 and 2000, though I understand a storm named Fabio in 1988 was a C4 hurricane but stayed out at sea. I'm gonna call for this to become Fabio, and be another "nothing" storm. Too close to the cooler waters to really get its act together, I think.

This is now Tropical Storm Fabio with 35 Knots and a pressure of 1005 mb. Change the title of the thread.

He's done "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" commercials.

Fabio also had the unfortunate experience of having a bird hit him in the face while riding a rollercoaster.

I just know of Fabio from that Nationwide commercial.....in which he's older and the woman finds him less appealing.

TROPICAL STORM FABIO DISCUSSION NUMBER 2
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP072006
800 PM PDT MON JUL 31 2006

SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES HAVE INCREASED OVER THE LAST 6 HOURS
TO 45 KT FROM TAFB...35 KT FROM SAB AND AFWA...AND 31 KT FROM UW
CIMSS ADT. ACCORDINGLY...THE CYCLONE HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO TROPICAL
STORM FABIO WITH AN INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KT. FABIO IS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN WITHIN A MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT
OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. THEREFORE...ONLY MODEST STRENGTHENING IS
SHOWN THROUGH 36 HOURS. THEREAFTER...THE CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO
ENCOUNTER A RATHER HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT CONSISTING OF INCREASING
VERTICAL SHEAR...DRY AIR IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER ATMOSPHERE...AND
PROGRESSIVELY COOLER WATERS. THESE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS ARE
EXPECTED TO CAUSE WEAKENING WITH MANY OF THE GLOBAL MODELS
SUGGESTING THAT THE SYSTEM COULD DISSIPATE BY THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST MAINTAINS THE
CYCLONE LONGER THAN THE DYNAMICAL MODELS REPRESENTS A COMPROMISE
BETWEEN THE SHIPS AND GFDL MODELS.

INITIAL MOTION IS ESTIMATED AT 280/12. GUIDANCE IS SPLIT INTO TWO
CAMPS. THE DYNAMICAL MODELS MAINTAIN A WEST-NORTHWESTWARD HEADING
THROUGH 48 HOURS THEN TURN THE CYCLONE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD.
CONVERSELY...THE BAM MODELS SHOW A NORTHWEST MOTION THROUGH 48 HOUR
WITH ONLY A SLIGHT BEND TOWARD THE WEST THEREAFTER. THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST SPLITS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO SCENARIOS AND IS
ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE DYNAMICAL MODEL SUITE. THIS ALSO
REPRESENTS A SLIGHT NORTHWARD SHIFT FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.

He was famous back in the 90s. On the cover of romance novels and as a model or something.
