EPAC: EMILIA - Post-Tropical
Here is the first of the 3 systemss that the models develop strongly in the next couple of weeks. The question is how much ACE it gets and definitly will be great to track.

Re: EPAC: INVEST 96E
12z GFS bottoms it to 956 mbs and I think is the first run that goes down this far.

Re: EPAC: INVEST 96E
So essentially 96E and 94E will merge to become hurricane Emilia? That's what I'm getting from the GFS

Yes,that will occur,in fact NHC mentions the merge in TWO for 94E:
Development of this system is becoming less
likely, and this disturbance is expected to merge with a low
pressure area approaching from the east in a couple of days.

Re: EPAC: INVEST 96E
40%/90%

Shower activity associated with a broad low pressure area located
about 600 miles south of eastern Mexico has become better organized
during the last 24 hours. Additional development is forecast, and
a tropical depression is expected to form later this week while the
system moves generally west-northwestward, well south of the coast
of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Re: EPAC: INVEST 96E
96E is looking pretty good already. Has that "look."
I'm not all that particularly skilled at locating a LLC, but judging from satellite, it seems like it already has a pretty good spin at least at the mid levels.

Re: EPAC: INVEST 96E
60%/90%

Shower activity associated with a broad low pressure area located
about 650 miles south-southeast of Acapulco, Mexico, has continued
to increase today. Environmental conditions are forecast to be
favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression is
expected to form within the next few days while the system moves
generally west-northwestward, well south of the coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

SHIP a little less bullish on 00z run but still goes Hurricane.

Re: EPAC: INVEST 96E
Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a broad low
pressure area located about 600 miles south of Acapulco,Mexico, has
changed little over the past several hours. However, environmental
conditions are expected to gradually become more conducive for
development, and a tropical depression is expected to form within
the next couple of days while the system moves generally
west-northwestward, well south of the coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
