800 AM PDT SAT OCT 04 2014
...SIMON RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING...
SUMMARY OF 800 AM PDT...1500 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...20.2N 113.8W
ABOUT 205 MI...330 KM WNW OF SOCORRO ISLAND
ABOUT 310 MI...500 KM SW OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...110 MPH...175 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 295 DEGREES AT 13 MPH...20 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...966 MB...28.53 INCHES
WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
THERE ARE NO COASTAL WATCHES OR WARNINGS IN EFFECT.
DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
AT 800 AM PDT...1500 UTC...THE EYE OF HURRICANE SIMON WAS LOCATED
NEAR LATITUDE 20.2 NORTH...LONGITUDE 113.8 WEST. SIMON IS MOVING
TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 13 MPH...20 KM/H...AND THIS GENERAL
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT. A TURN TOWARD THE
NORTHWEST IS FORECAST BY SUNDAY MORNING.
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT SIMON IS RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 110 MPH...175 KM/H...
WITH HIGHER GUSTS. ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING IS LIKELY TODAY...AND
SIMON IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A MAJOR HURRICANE DURING THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. WEAKENING IS FORECAST TO BEGIN ON SUNDAY. A NOAA HURRICANE
HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE SIMON LATER TODAY.
SIMON REMAINS A SMALL TROPICAL CYCLONE. HURRICANE FORCE WINDS
EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 25 MILES...35 KM...FROM THE CENTER...AND

THE ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 966 MB...28.53 INCHES.
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL...SIMON IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4
INCHES WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS AROUND 6 INCHES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS ACROSS BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR. THESE RAINS ARE EXPECTED TO CAUSE
FLASH FLOODING AND MUDSLIDES.
SURF...SWELLS GENERATED BY SIMON ARE AFFECTING PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHWESTERN COAST OF MEXICO. THESE SWELLS ARE LIKELY TO CAUSE

HURRICANE SIMON DISCUSSION NUMBER 12
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP192014
800 AM PDT SAT OCT 04 2014
Infrared satellite imagery indicates that Simon has undergone rapid
intensification during the past several hours. A small eye has
formed, and the cloud tops surrounding the eye are in the -75C to
-85C range. Satellite intensity estimates have increased to 102 kt
from TAFB and 90 kt from SAB, and the latest estimated from the
CIMSS ADT is 90 kt. Based on these, the initial intensity is
increased to 95 kt, and this could be conservative. A NOAA
Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate Simon later
today.
The initial motion is now 295/11. Simon is expected to move
west-northwest to northwestward for the next 36 hours or so as is
approaches a weakness in the subtropical ridge to its north. After
that, the system is expected to turn northward and northeastward,
although there remains significant spread in the track guidance on
when and how fast this will occur. The GFS, GFS ensemble mean,
NAVGEM, and the GFDL show Simon moving quickly to the northeast,
eventually making landfall on the Baja California peninsula and in
northwestern Mexico. The ECMWF, UKMET, and CMC models show the turn
occurring later and farther west, and these models forecast the
cyclone to dissipate over water west of the Baja California
peninsula. The forecast track continues to compromise between these
two extremes in showing a slow northeastward motion after
recurvature. The new forecast track is similar to the previous track
and is slower than the model consensus.
How long the current rapid intensification will continue is
uncertain, as Simon is now moving over decreasing sea surface
temperatures. The new intensity forecast follows the guidance trend
of showing 12 hours more strengthening. Simon is now forecast to
become a major hurricane, and it would not be a surprise if it
reached a higher peak intensity than currently forecast. After 12
hours, cooler waters under the forecast track should result in a
weakening trend, and this should become more pronounced after 48
hours due to increasing shear. The new intensity forecast shows
rapid weakening after 48 hours, with Simon expected to become a
remnant low by the end of the forecast period. It should be noted
that, if Simon follows the GFS forecast track, it would likely
weaken more slowly than currently forecast since it would stay over
warmer water and encounters less shear.

Also, 90 SFMR w/ undersamplling would support 95 knts. Maybe 100 due to the pinhole.
And they haven't sampled the NE have they?

I'd say it's still deepening, but likely close to its peak.
