HURRICANE MANUEL DISCUSSION NUMBER 20
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP132013
200 AM PDT THU SEP 19 2013

THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER OF MANUEL HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO LOCATE IN
GEOSTATIONARY IMAGERY OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER A SERIES OF MICROWAVE
PASSES AND RADAR DATA FROM GUASAVE MEXICO SUGGEST THAT THE CENTER
HAS REMAINED OFFSHORE THUS FAR...ALTHOUGH THE NORTHERN EYEWALL HAS
BEEN OVER LAND FOR SEVERAL HOURS. MICROWAVE IMAGERY ALSO SUGGESTED
SOME TILT TO THE CIRCULATION...WITH THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER DISPLACED
A BIT TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE MID-LEVEL CENTER. GIVEN THAT THE
CENTER STILL APPEARS TO BE OFFSHORE...THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS HELD
AT 65 KT BASED ON THE LATEST DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE FROM
TAFB.

THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 355/03. THE AFOREMENTIONED
MICROWAVE FIXES SHOWED THAT THE CENTER IS A LITTLE FARTHER WEST AND
SOUTH THAN PREVIOUS ESTIMATES. WITH WEAK SYNOPTIC-SCALE STEERING...
THE TRACK MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW LARGE SPREAD. THE NHC
FORECAST WILL MAINTAIN CONTINUITY AND SHOW THE CENTER OF MANUEL
MOVING SLOWLY INLAND NEAR THE COAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
THIS GENERAL IDEA IS SUPPORTED BY THE GFS...ECMWF...FIM...AND HWRF
MODELS. AN ALTERNATE SCENARIO IS THAT THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION OF
MANUEL COULD DECOUPLE FROM THE MID/UPPER-LEVEL CIRCULATION AND
LINGER OVER THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE NEXT 2 OR 3 DAYS...AS
SHOWN BY THE UKMET. NEEDLESS TO SAY...CONFIDENCE REMAINS QUITE LOW
IN THE TRACK FORECAST.

AS MORE OF THE CIRCULATION MOVES OVER LAND IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...
WEAKENING SHOULD BEGIN. WITH THE NHC TRACK FORECAST SHOWING THE
CYCLONE REMAINING INLAND...THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST CALLS FOR
STEADY WEAKENING WITH DISSIPATION EXPECTED BY 72 HOURS. IF THE
CENTER REMAINS OVER WATER LONGER...THE CIRCULATION COULD PERSIST
LONGER AND WEAKEN SLOWER THAN SHOWN HERE.

Not too long ago, they had the 5-Day track taking it west out over the Baja. Now they have it doing basically the opposite.

[lukem]

What impact might this new track have on Texas? I know we are getting quite a bit of moisture from Manuel right now, but could we potentially have the remnants of the storm over us late this weekend as well?

[cycloneye]

Manuel down to Tropical Storm.

Most if not all of the remaining moisture/remnant of Manuel is going to get absorbed by the front and come through Texas. It's the main reason why we're going to see a slow soaker vs quick hitting squall line from the front.

[lukem]

Thanks Ntxw. I’m a long time lurker of the site and have always appreciated your opinion of the weather, especially as it relates to Texas.

TROPICAL STORM MANUEL DISCUSSION NUMBER 22
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP132013
200 PM PDT THU SEP 19 2013

RADAR AND SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOW THAT THE ORGANIZATION OF MANUEL HAS
DEGRADED THIS AFTERNOON...AND THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS REDUCED TO
40 KT. MANUEL WILL MOVE OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF WEST-CENTRAL
MEXICO SHORTLY...WHICH WILL CAUSE THE CYCLONE TO RAPIDLY WEAKEN....
AND DISSIPATION IS EXPECTED TONIGHT OR EARLY FRIDAY. THE CYCLONE
IS NOW MOVING NORTHEASTWARD AT ABOUT 6 KT...AND THIS GENERAL MOTION
SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL MANUEL DISSIPATES.

HEAVY RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD
INLAND OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MEXICO DURING THE NEXT
DAY OR SO. THESE RAINS COULD CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS
AND MUD SLIDES...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS OF MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.

Manuel R.I.P

And now we can enjoy a week of no activity

[Yellow Evan]

May or may not be the last storm of the season IMO. But, see ya Manuel, maybe you'll get retired.

[Macrocane]

DEATH TOLL KEEPS RISING IN MEXICO

The number of people killed by Manuel (most of them) and Ingrid has risen to at least 100 in Mexico, 68 are still missing after a landslide in the town of Atoyac and more than 200 000 have been left homeless. A record rain of 987 mm (38.86 inches) has accumulated in the last week in Guerrero state.

Some of the sources:

Cifras de la tragedia (in Spanish)

CNN Mexico (Translated)

155 municipalities in Mexico under state of emergency (Translated)

Manuel should be retired IMO.

[HurricaneBill]

Manuel should be retired IMO.

I think it has a good shot. Acapulco was hit pretty hard. Manuel reminds me of Hurricane Pauline in 1997.

[TheStormExpert]

How many TC's have died and regenerated in the E. Pacific over the years? I know it has been very common in the Atlantic recently.
