Re: EPAC: INVEST 98E
Again, as of now, I see no significant development of this system. Simply because several of the models are showing a 45 knot peak, it will soon be within close proximity to land and over cold waters, and because it is currently lacking organisation. Maybe a brief storm may be the most this system becomes, but I see nothing much beyond an invest.

Special Tropical Weather Outlook
SATELLITE AND MICROWAVE DATA INDICATE THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED ABOUT 500 MILES
SOUTHWEST OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA HAVE
BECOME MUCH MORE ORGANIZED. THIS LOW IS LIKELY TO BECOME A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION LATER TODAY OR EARLY TOMORROW BEFORE IT ENCOUNTERS
COOLER WATERS LATER THIS WEEKEND. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH
CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS WHILE IT MOVES TO THE NORTH AT ABOUT 10 MPH...AND
A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING
THE NEXT 5 DAYS.

Re: EPAC: INVEST 98E
Good thing I said "as of now". 
Anything is possible in this fascinating basin. It is definitely less affected by hostile consitions than the Atlantic.

Is this one of the earliest dates of formation for the eleventh depression?

Even the NHC is getting tired of these weak systems. Official forecast shows modest strengthening into a weak tropical storm.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION ELEVEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 2
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP112013
200 AM PDT SAT AUG 31 2013
A 0407 UTC TRMM PASS SUGGESTS THAT THE CENTER OF THE DEPRESSION IS
LOCATED ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE CONVECTIVE CANOPY. THIS
STRUCTURE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 10-15 KT OF NORTHERLY SHEAR
ANALYZED OVER THE CYCLONE BY THE SHIPS MODEL AND UW-CIMSS SATELLITE
ANALYSES. THE INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS 30 KT BASED ON THE LATEST
TAFB DVORAK CLASSIFICATION AND A 0445Z ASCAT-A PASS. THE DEPRESSION
HAS ONLY A DAY OR SO TO STRENGTHEN BEFORE IT BEGINS TO MOVE OVER
COOLER WATERS. HOWEVER...A MID/UPPER-LEVEL LOW LOCATED OFF THE
SOUTHWEST COAST OF THE BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA SHOULD CONTINUE TO
IMPART MODERATE SHEAR ON THE CYCLONE DURING THAT TIME...WHICH
SUGGESTS ONLY MODEST STRENGTHENING. THE INTENSITY GUIDANCE HAS
TRENDED DOWNWARD THIS CYCLE...WITH ONLY THE SHIPS MODEL SHOWING THE
DEPRESSION REACHING TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH. THE NHC FORECAST HAS
BEEN NUDGED DOWNWARD BUT STILL REMAINS ABOVE MOST OF THE GUIDANCE.
THE CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A REMNANT LOW BY DAY 4 AND
DISSIPATE BY DAY 5...BUT THIS COULD OCCUR SOONER.
THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 330/07. THE AFOREMENTIONED MID/UPPER-
LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE WESTWARD DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...WHICH
SHOULD RESULT IN A SLOW NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD TO NORTHWARD MOTION OF
THE DEPRESSION DURING THAT TIME. THEN AS THE CYCLONE WEAKENS...MOST
OF THE TRACK MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A SLOWING IN FORWARD SPEED AND
A TURN TOWARD THE SOUTH BY DAY 4 AS THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE BECOMES THE
DOMINANT STEERING MECHANISM. THE NEW NHC TRACK FORECAST IS CLOSE TO
THE PREVIOUS ONE AND LIES A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF THE TVCE MULTI-
MODEL CONSENSUS THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

Re: EPAC: ELEVEN-E - Tropical Depression
TROPICAL DEPRESSION ELEVEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 3
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP112013
800 AM PDT SAT AUG 31 2013
CONVENTIONAL SATELLITE IMAGERY OVERNIGHT WAS AMBIGUOUS ON THE EXACT
POSITION OF THE CYCLONE. FORTUNATELY...A 0938Z NOAA-19 AMSU AND A
1217Z TRMM MICROWAVE PASSES WERE HELPFUL IN MORE ACCURATELY LOCATING
ITS CENTER. THESE INDICATE A MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF 325/6...
PRIMARILY DUE TO STEERING PROVIDED BY A MID-LEVEL RIDGE NORTHEAST
OF THE CYCLONE. AS THE CYCLONE WINDS DOWN IN ABOUT TWO TO THREE
DAYS...IT WILL SLOW ITS FORWARD SPEED AS IT BECOMES EMBEDDED WITHIN
THE LIGHT LOW-LEVEL FLOW. THE TRACK FORECAST IS SLIGHTLY TO THE
LEFT OF THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY DUE TO THE SOMEWHAT MORE WESTWARD
INITIAL POSITION AND IS CLOSE TO THE TVCE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS.
THE CURRENT INTENSITY REMAINS AT 30 KT...IN AGREEMENT WITH THE
TAFB...SAB...AND ADT SATELLITE-BASED INTENSITY ESTIMATES. THE
CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE HAS IMPROVED SOMEWHAT SINCE THE 1200Z
ESTIMATES AND THE SYSTEM COULD BE REACHING TROPICAL STORM INTENSITY
SHORTLY. HOWEVER...INTENSIFICATION OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE WILL
LIKELY BE QUITE SHORT-LIVED...AS COOLER SSTS AND A MORE STABLE
ATMOSPHERE LIE ALONG THE PROJECTED PATH OF THE SYSTEM STARTING IN
ABOUT A DAY AND A HALF. THE INTENSITY GUIDANCE IS UNANIMOUS IN
NOT BRINGING THE CYCLONE HIGHER THAN A MINIMAL TROPICAL STORM. THE
INTENSITY PREDICTION MIRRORS THIS AND IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE
PREVIOUS ADVISORY. THE CYCLONE IS LIKELY TO BECOME A REMNANT LOW
IN ABOUT THREE DAYS AND DISSIPATE IN ABOUT FOUR DAYS...WHILE
REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY WEST OF BAJA CALIFORNIA.
