TROPICAL STORM CALVIN DISCUSSION NUMBER 5
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
2 PM PDT MON JUN 27 2005

ACAPULCO RADAR IMAGES SUGGEST LITTLE CHANGE IN ORGANIZATION OVER THE
LAST SEVERAL HOURS. IN FACT...THE SPIRAL BANDING IS NOT AS WELL
DEFINED AS IT WAS THIS MORNING. GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE IMAGES
ALSO SUGGEST LITTLE CHANGE. DVORAK T-NUMBERS REMAIN AT 3.0 AND THE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE IS HELD AT 45 KT FOR THIS PACKAGE.
CALVIN IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF MODERATE EASTERLY
VERTICAL SHEAR OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS SO ONLY SLOW STRENGTHENING IS
ANTICIPATED. THE OFFICIAL WIND SPEED FORECAST IS A BLEND OF THE
LATEST GFDL AND SHIPS MODEL OUTPUT. BY 72 HOURS...THE CYCLONE WILL
BE TRAVERSING COOLER WATERS AND ENCOUNTERING A MORE STABLE AIR MASS
SO WEAKENING SHOULD HAVE COMMENCED BY THAT TIME.

THERE IS A LOT OF SCATTER IN THE CENTER FIXES BUT THE STORM HAS
APPARENTLY TURNED TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST. INITIAL MOTION
ESTIMATE IS 300/9. THE TRACK FORECAST APPEARS TO BE RELATIVELY
STRAIGHTFORWARD...WITH A MID-LEVEL RIDGE EXPECTED TO PERSIST TO THE
NORTH OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE...AND PROVIDING AN EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY
STEERING FLOW. BECAUSE OF THE FASTER INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE...
THIS OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST IS SOMEWHAT FASTER THAN THE PREVIOUS
ONE DURING THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. LATER IN THE
PERIOD...THE WEAKENING CYCLONE IS FORECAST TO TURN WESTWARD UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF SHALLOW-LAYER FLOW.

THE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD MOTION REDUCES THE THREAT TO THE COAST...AND
THE TROPICAL STORM WATCH CAN PROBABLY BE DISCONTINUED LATER TODAY.
HOWEVER...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTER
CIRCULATION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHERN COAST OF MEXICO OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

There is 50 knot shear just to the south. With 30 knot shear over this. With 10 to 20 knot increases. This is going to stay about the same at best or get sheared apart most likely.

Traitor! Go live on the Pacific coast, we don't want a traitor like you here in the Atlantic. :lol:

Looks like Calvin is dying already. Another useless E-Pac storm. No worries, though. The E-Pac will die down soon enough, as we rise to the lead. :P

The system looks really bad tonight, I will say that the shear is eating this tropical cyclone and further weakening seems to be taking place right now.

Note the much colder cloud tops near the non-system in the BOC. Looks more impressive up there.

That system in the BOC has a surface cirualtion/MLC. The Gfs 12z took it west-northwest into Mexico over the next 36 hours. I think this is becoming better oreganized then Calvin. Plus much less Shear. One told the shear over Calvin is around 30 knots. While the system over the BOC has 5 to 10 knot shear.

Tropical Storm Calvin Discussion Number 6


Statement as of 8:00 PM PDT on June 27, 2005



the satellite and radar presentations of Calvin have deteriorated
dramatically this evening. On satellite imagery...cloud tops have
warmed and the banding seen earlier has all but disappeared. Two
microwave passes near 01z indicate that the low-level circulation
center is about 50 nmi to the southeast of what rotation can be
seen aloft. Dvorak classifications suggest that Calvin is near
minimal tropical storm strength...and the initial intensity is
lowered to 35 kt for this advisory. Calvin still has 24-36 hours
over warm water...so the convection could well return...but global
model guidance does not suggest that the shear will lessen anytime
soon...and Calvin is likely to struggle in a marginal environment
until its inevitable demise. Both the SHIPS and GFDL intensity
guidance suggest little overall change in strength until Calvin
reaches cooler waters.

Calvin remains basically on track...295/9. The official forecast
has been adjusted to be a little slower than the previous
package...based on the deteriorating structure of the cyclone in an
easterly shearing flow...and is in best agreement with the GFDL
model. A mid-level ridge is expected to maintain Calvin on a
west-northwest track that will gradually edge away from the Mexican
coast...and the tropical storm watch will likely be lowered soon.

Forecaster Franklin

...Calvin weakens...tropical storm watch extended westward...
At 8 PM PDT...0300 UTC...the government of Mexico has discontinued
the tropical storm watch east of Acapulco...and extended the
tropical storm watch westward to Manzanillo. A tropical storm
watch is now in effect from Acapulco to Manzanillo.

For storm information specific to your area...including possible
inland watches and warnings...please monitor products issued
by your local weather office.

At 8 PM PDT...0300z...the center of Tropical Storm Calvin was
located near latitude 15.8 north...longitude 101.6 west or about
130 miles... 210 km...south of Zihuatanejo Mexico.

Calvin is moving toward the west-northwest near 10 mph ...17
km/hr...and this motion is expected to continue for the next 24
hours. On this track the center of the storm will continue to move
parallel to the coast of Mexico overnight.

Calvin has continued to weaken this evening...and maximum sustained
winds are now near 40 mph... 65 km/hr...with higher gusts. Little
change in strength is forecast during the next 24 hours.

Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 45 miles
... 75 km from the center.

Estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb...29.65 inches.

Total rainfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches...with locally higher
amounts over mountainous terrain...are expected within the watch
area.
Repeating the 8 PM PDT position...15.8 N...101.6 W. Movement
toward...west-northwest near 10 mph. Maximum sustained
winds... 40 mph. Minimum central pressure...1004 mb.
