So this could enter the BOC? Looks like this invest might only have a small window to develop before striking Mexico, but I'm certain we'll see something from this. If it's Trudy it'll most likely break the extreme record-breaking hurricane streak we've had in this basin and peak as a TS.

Hurricanes are an amazing natural phenomena. While many are spiraling pits of evil that kill people or cause devastation, some are tame and stay clear of land.

The 18Z GFS is shows the low crossing over into the BOC within the next 48 hours now. Looking at the SAT imagery, it does appear that the right part of 92E is starting to move slowly NW toward the Gulf of Tehuantepec where it will try to cross over. The SW part of the blob of convection is moving more W or WNW.
Nice "pick-up" Gatorcane; looks pretty reasonable and I see to clearly see that NE segment appearing to be pulling northward. If the energy from this system is to be already in the BOC by 48 hrs., than time is getting really short for this to technically qualify for an actual "cross-over" system. If it reaches only depression status on the Pacific side, then no doubt enough weakening will occur prior to regeneration as a seperate entity. Should enough deepening occur that we have a pretty solid, and decent sized T.S. make landfall from the south, then I can see perhaps enough of an identity of circulation might make it into the BOC to clearly qualify as an actual cross-over storm.

This looks like a 2 low scenario with 1 heading west and the other ending up in the BOC so IMO we should see development from the northeastern lobe in 60 to 72hrs but track is the most important thing with this as a few of the models eject it NE into Florida and a higher percentage of the models have a stall or even a backtrack into the southern BOC so could be an interesting system

The 0zGFS show part of this in the BOC at 48hrs and at about 180hrs starts to move this ENE and at 216 is ejecting possibly towards Florida. with that 500MB pattern modeled on the GFS it would be a Florida impact but its several days away and the pattern is unpredictable with this one
PS: The 0zGFS has this landfalling between Tampa and Ft Myers between 240 and 252hrs

Showers and thunderstorms have not become any better organized in
association with a trough of low pressure that extends from the
Gulf of Tehuantepec southwestward for several hundred miles.
Environmental conditions remain favorable for development of a
tropical cyclone somewhere within this area over the next couple of
days, and if one were to form it would likely move northward or
northwestward toward the coast of Mexico. Regardless of whether or
not development occurs, heavy rains are likely along portions of the
Pacific coast of Mexico from the Gulf of Tehuantepec westward over
the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

Re: EPAC: INVEST 92E
Off topic here slightly, but early morning visible sat imagery seems to showing some development beginning in the Extreme SW BOC.

I was one of the many that felt we would get something in the BOC, now I am starting to wonder.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWENTY-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP202014
200 PM PDT FRI OCT 17 2014
The tropical disturbance south of Mexico has developed deep
convection organized in rainbands today. Correspondingly, the
subjective Dvorak classifications from SAB and TAFB have come in at
1.5 and 2.0, respectively. Additionally, ship and ASCAT
scatterometer observations suggest that a well-defined closed
circulation has formed. Thus the system is being started as
a tropical cyclone in this advisory. The two ASCAT passes this
afternoon suggest peak winds of 30-35 kt, though these are along the
edge of the swath and may not be reliable. Finally, a couple of
ships at 18Z indicated winds of 30-35 kt. This relative bounty of
observations indicates an intensity of 30 kt, though this may be
somewhat conservative.
The tropical depression appears to be in an environment conducive
for further intensification in the short term, as water temperatures
are near 30C, vertical shear is very weak, and the atmosphere is
quite moist in the low levels and supportive of deep convection.
Intensification is shown, quite similar to a blend of the SHIPS
statistical model and the GFDL and HWRF dynamical models. A 48 hr
point is shown for continuity, but the system is unlikely to exist
that long as a tropical cyclone over the high terrain of Mexico. An
alternative scenario - supported by the ECMWF and GFDL models - is
that the cyclone reaches the coast, but does not press inland,
meandering just offshore as a tropical cyclone for a longer time
than indicated here.
The location and motion of the cyclone's center have substantial
uncertainty, though it appears to be moving toward the north at
about 7 kt. The tropical depression is being steered primarily due
to the interaction of deep-layer southwesterlies equatorward of the
cyclone with a weak ridge to its northeast. The system should slow
its forward speed during the next couple days as the steering flow
weakens. The NHC forecast track is based upon the TVCE multi-model
ensemble.
The primary threat from this system is expected to be heavy
rainfall that will likely produce flash flooding and mudslides in
portions of southern Mexico during the next few days, especially
near areas of elevated terrain.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWENTY-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP202014
200 PM PDT FRI OCT 17 2014
The tropical disturbance south of Mexico has developed deep
convection organized in rainbands today. Correspondingly, the
subjective Dvorak classifications from SAB and TAFB have come in at
1.5 and 2.0, respectively. Additionally, ship and ASCAT
scatterometer observations suggest that a well-defined closed
circulation has formed. Thus the system is being started as
a tropical cyclone in this advisory. The two ASCAT passes this
afternoon suggest peak winds of 30-35 kt, though these are along the
edge of the swath and may not be reliable. Finally, a couple of
ships at 18Z indicated winds of 30-35 kt. This relative bounty of
observations indicates an intensity of 30 kt, though this may be
somewhat conservative.
The tropical depression appears to be in an environment conducive
for further intensification in the short term, as water temperatures
are near 30C, vertical shear is very weak, and the atmosphere is
quite moist in the low levels and supportive of deep convection.
Intensification is shown, quite similar to a blend of the SHIPS
statistical model and the GFDL and HWRF dynamical models. A 48 hr
point is shown for continuity, but the system is unlikely to exist
that long as a tropical cyclone over the high terrain of Mexico. An
alternative scenario - supported by the ECMWF and GFDL models - is
that the cyclone reaches the coast, but does not press inland,
meandering just offshore as a tropical cyclone for a longer time
than indicated here.
The location and motion of the cyclone's center have substantial
uncertainty, though it appears to be moving toward the north at
about 7 kt. The tropical depression is being steered primarily due
to the interaction of deep-layer southwesterlies equatorward of the
cyclone with a weak ridge to its northeast. The system should slow
its forward speed during the next couple days as the steering flow
weakens. The NHC forecast track is based upon the TVCE multi-model
ensemble.
The primary threat from this system is expected to be heavy
rainfall that will likely produce flash flooding and mudslides in
portions of southern Mexico during the next few days, especially
near areas of elevated terrain.

TROPICAL STORM TRUDY DISCUSSION NUMBER 2
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP202014
800 PM PDT FRI OCT 17 2014
Satellite images indicate that the cyclone is becoming better
organized with very deep convection near the center and significant
bands in the southern semicircle. Microwave satellite data and
radar data from Acapulco also confirm this trend, with some evidence
of some inner-core features forming. Dvorak intensity estimates are
increasing, and the initial intensity is set to 35 kt, in best
agreement with the Data-T number from TAFB. Although the
environment is quite favorable for intensification, the cyclone
doesn't have much time before it makes landfall. Thus, the official
forecast keeps the previous peak intensity prediction of 45 kt,
which lies on the higher side of the consensus.
Best estimate of initial motion is northward at about 4 kt.
Deep-layer southerly flow should steer Trudy generally northward
until landfall within 24 hours. Guidance has trended a little
slower after 12 hours, and the new NHC forecast reflects that trend.
Although there is still some chance that the cyclone lingers near
the coast, the surface circulation will probably get disrupted by
the very high terrain, so dissipation is expected in 36-48 hours.
The primary threat from this system is still expected to be heavy
rainfall that will likely produce flash flooding and mudslides in
portions of southern Mexico during the next few days, especially
near areas of elevated terrain.
