EPAC: SIXTEEN-E - Remnants

[supercane4867]

[Yellow Evan]

A weak area of low pressure has developed several hundred miles
south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula. Some slow development of this system is possible
during the next several days while it moves northward or
northeastward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

[Ntxw]

Those percentages seems low to me. it looks very good.

[Yellow Evan]

A small area of low pressure located about 875 miles
south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula has become a little better organized during the day.
However, significant development of this system is not anticipated
while it moves generally northward and then northeastward during the
next couple of days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

I think both 94E and 95E should be classified right now (5:00 am EDT). I remember chatter about how the first half of September in the Epac was going to be "dead" with no tropical cyclones and now we have 1 major hurricane and two possible future hurricanes with one maybe major as well in the first half...

[Yellow Evan]

An area of low pressure located about 800 miles south-southwest of
the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula is showing signs
of organization. This low could become a tropical depression
during the next day or two before upper-level winds become
unfavorable. This system is expected to move slowly northward during
the next couple of days and then turn eastward after that.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...60 percent.

Wow. Impressed by the structure and organization of 95E, looks like we could see 16E later today.

I have found out that when conditions are ripe for development like they are in the EPAC the MJO phase does not matter much, IMO, if that is why some might have been thinking the reason why the EPAC was going to be quiet the first 2 weeks of this month.

Yep, both the Atlantic and EPAC have both shown us that the background state of the basins lays the groundwork first of how effective other things are. It's not to say MJO/KW's can't help with the forecast. The EPAC this year has seen multiple active storms during passage of KW vs single systems in between. While the same KW produces one system over in the Atlantic.

When conditions are ripe for development, storms form regardless of MJO. MJO helps though. With that said, we have CCKW support now.

Somehow this isn't a tropical depression...apparently.

1. Satellite images indicate that a tropical depression may be
forming about 850 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the
Baja California peninsula. If current trends continue, advisories
will likely be initiated on this system later today or tonight.
This system is expected to move slowly northward during the next
couple of days and then turn eastward after that.

Why is this not a TD?

[TropicalAnalystwx13]

Why is this not a TD?

No idea. It's met the criteria for the past day. ASCAT from last night showed a closed, well-defined circulation, and satellite imagery shows that the system has maintained organized convection over the center.

Satellite images indicate that the low pressure system located about
800 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula has become a little less organized, with the center
becoming displaced to the north of the shower and thunderstorm
activity. However, only a slight increase in organization of the
system would lead to the development of a tropical depression, and
advisories could still be initiated tonight or on Thursday while the
low moves northward at about 5 mph. The low is forecast to turn
eastward by Friday and could become absorbed by Odile over the
weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
