Blas Advisories

[HURAKAN]

90E. continues to get better organized by the minute and the NHC has posted a Possible Tropical Cyclone Formation statement (visible far below). I think development would occur tomorrow morning or afternoon. Let see what happens!

[Hurricanehink]

Cool. Glad to see some action somewhere. It's been 6 whole days since we had a storm!

[Aquawind]

The models have shown development for a couple days. The circulation has been obvious and large since it left the SA coast. Invest-Noname-Blas..? The morning qscat still has a elongated low pressure like many other possibilites this year..but the overall rotation suggests it will develop..imho

Hopefully the next pass won't miss it.

Storms like that are interesting to watch. I hope it goes out to sea though.

We have a NRL NONAME... it's going to happen!!

Well... We're still waiting for the NHC is issue their first advisories on 03E.

The JTWC has issued this formation alert...

SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 121321Z JUL 04//

1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
130 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 13.8N2 105.0W6 TO 16.6N3
109.1W1 WITHIN THE NEXT 06 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT
JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF A NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING AT THIS
TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MET­
SAT IMAGERY AT 121245Z5 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 14.0N5 105.4W0. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-NORTH-
WESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: AN AREA OF CONVECTION LOCATED NEAR 14.0N5 105.4W0,
APPROXIMATELY 300 NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF MANZANILLO, MEXICO
HAS BECOME WELL ORGANIZED OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. RECENT
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS AN AREA OF
CONSOLIDATING DEEP CONVECTION OVER A POSSIBLE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS DECREASED
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD DIVERGENCE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE
IS ESTIMATED AT 1002 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD.

I presume the jul 04 in that message is a typo or is it justMonday morning and I am missing something?

Don't get me wrong, it is pretty obvious we will have a TC within 24 hours in the EPAC, if not 12, but that Jul04 in the message caught my eye.

Tropical Depression Three-E Discussion Number 1

Statement as of 8:00 am PDT on July 12, 2004

 
a large area of disturbed weather located to the south of Mexico has
developed considerable deep convection near its center this morning
and this system is upgraded to a tropical depression.

 
The location of the center is rather uncertain as it is obscured by
the convection.  The initial motion estimate is 300/09.  Most of
the track guidance models show a mostly west-northwestward motion
with the suggestion of a turn toward the west after day four.  This
motion is controlled by a mid-level ridge over the southwestern
United States that is forecast to be nearly stationary for the next
five days.  The GFS and other global models introduce some
uncertainty in the track by developing tropical cyclones both east
and west of this depression with the possibility of interaction.

 
Conditions are favorable for strengthening until about 48 hours when
the system should begin to encounter SSTs less than 26 degrees
centigrade.  The SHIPS model peaks at 49 knots at 48 hours while
the GFDL takes the wind to 55 knots.  The official forecast is for
the wind to peak at 50 knots at 36 and 48 hours.
