92H Deep low- level cloud suggests a precursor to future eyewall formation.

I don't think it has a good structure but as of right now its okay. Its mainly too broad. A deep convection band started wrapping into the core from the east so we'll see how that goes. The convection right next to it on the south-right really is pitiful. Ileana must be robbing John's head (north and east side) of energy. I'm eager to see how Ileana gets wrapped into John and what that ultimately does. Sometimes when TCs in this spot just suddenly degrade instead of explode I giggle. It strikes me as humorous as everyone is waiting for angry John to pop his lid and instead appears ragged and reefed with shallow convection.

Hurricane John Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122018
900 PM MDT Mon Aug 06 2018

John's satellite presentation has not changed significantly during
the past few hours. The tops warmed up significantly earlier, but a
new convective curved band is developing around the eye as we
speak. T-numbers from TAFB and SAB are 4.0 on the Dvorak scale and
on this basis, the initial intensity is keep at 65 kt in this
advisory. The environment is quite favorable for intensification,
and although the intensity guidance is not as aggressive as earlier,
it still shows a strengthening hurricane, and this is reflected in
the NHC forecast. Beyond 3 days, John should be moving over cooler
waters, and rapid weakening should then begin. John is very likely
to become a remnant low by day 5 or perhaps earlier.

John continues to move toward the northwest or 315 degrees at 7 kt,
steered by the flow around a strong subtropical ridge extending
from the western United States westward across the Pacific. Since
the steering pattern is well established, track models are tightly
clustered increasing the confidence in the forecast. NHC keeps the
hurricane in the middle of the guidance envelope very close to
the HCCA corrected consensus and is not very different from the
previous one.

The core of John with its strongest winds is forecast to remain well
off the Baja California Peninsula, but having said that, any
deviation to the right of the track or an unexpected increase in the
area of tropical force winds, could bring tropical-storm-force
winds to portions of the west coast of the peninsula. Therefore,
interests in the southern portion of the Baja California Peninsula
should monitor the progress of this hurricane.

Now that Ileana is not really much of a factor and likely won’t impinge on this storm anymore, everything is in place for John to rapidly intensify and it looks like it may have already begun this process.

Never mind. Why are the cloud tops warming so much?

Hurricane John Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122018
300 AM MDT Tue Aug 07 2018

Satellite images indicate that John has resumed its intensification
trend, with a ragged eye showing up in the night-visible and other
channels. Dvorak estimates are between 70-90 kt, so 80 kt is used
as the initial wind speed. John has another day or so to intensify
in a low-shear, warm-water environment before it rapidly crosses
into cooler waters. The hurricane has been intensifying at a rate
of about 30 kt/24 hours, so this trend was heavily weighted in the
latest forecast given the continuation of the conducive environment.
All of the guidance show a pretty steep drop in intensity as the
hurricane quickly enters cool waters, with rapid weakening likely.
The latest forecast is close to the previous one, but shows John
becoming post-tropical by day 4 when it will be over 21C waters.

John continues to move northwestward, now at about 8 kt. The
hurricane should move in that general direction but faster over the
next 3 days under the influence of a strengthening subtropical
ridge. As John weakens, the cyclone is forecast to turn westward,
steered more by the low-level ridge. Guidance remains tightly
clustered and no significant change was made to the previous
forecast track.

The dangerous core of John is forecast to remain well offshore of
the Baja California Peninsula. However, an eastward shift of the
forecast track or an unexpected increase in the size of the outer
wind field of the hurricane could bring tropical-storm-force winds
to portions of the west coast of the peninsula. Therefore, interests
in the southern portion of the Baja California Peninsula should
monitor the progress of this hurricane.

Hurricane John Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122018
900 AM MDT Tue Aug 07 2018

Visible and infrared satellite images have continued to show the
ragged eye of John this morning, but the surrounding convective
cloud tops have become more symmetric and cooled since the previous
advisory. The latest Dvorak satellite intensity estimates from
TAFB and SAB were T5.0/90 kt, which support increasing the initial
wind speed to that value. John has about another 24 hours over
warm water in which to intensify, and the NHC intensity forecast
calls for John to attain major hurricane strength later today or
tonight. After that time, decreasing SSTs and a more stable
environment should lead to steady or rapid weakening, and John is
expected to become a post-tropical cyclone by day 4. The NHC
intensity forecast is near the SHIPS and HCCA models for the first
12 to 24 hours, and then is between the aforementioned models and
the intensity consensus thereafter.

John is moving northwestward or 320/8 kt. The track guidance is in
good agreement on taking the hurricane northwestward around the
western portion of a mid-level ridge centered over northern Mexico.
Once John weakens and becomes a vertically shallow system it should
turn westward in the low-level flow. The NHC track forecast is
near the middle of the tightly clustered guidance envelope.

The dangerous core of John is forecast to remain well offshore of
the Baja California Peninsula. However, an eastward shift of the
forecast track or an unexpected increase in the size of the outer
wind field of the hurricane could bring tropical-storm-force winds
to portions of the west coast of the peninsula. Therefore, interests
in the southern portion of the Baja California Peninsula should
monitor the progress of this hurricane.
