EPAC: HILARY - Post-Tropical
Moderator: S2k Moderators
Re: EPAC: NINE-E - Tropical Depression
Timeline of the models suggest this is probably Hilary by tomorrow (unless 10-E beats it somehow) then Irwin. Rapidly deepens it to a Hurricane and latest GFS has 928mbar. Tues-Thurs is probably peak period.

Re: EPAC: NINE-E - Tropical Depression
This one has to beat 10-E to become a TS JUST so it can swag the name "HILLARY". A mighty storm is deserving of a mighty, noble name.

What is taking Hillary so long? She was supposed to be a TS by last night. Hope that this delayed start doesn't mean she will underperform.

Systems this far east can take time to really take off.

Re: EPAC: NINE-E - Tropical Depression
Both the GFS and ECMWF ultimately show TD-10 wrapping into the large circulation of this system in what looks like a Fujiwhara effect. Just shows how large this system could become.

Definetely more of a Cat.5 watch than Fernanda. Just needs to hurry and wrap up to take full advantage of the very high SST's and OHC.

Re: EPAC: NINE-E - Tropical Depression
Tropical Depression Nine-E Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092017
400 PM CDT Sat Jul 22 2017
Recent ASCAT data confirmed that the depression has not become any
better organized and that the low-level center is on the southern
edge of the main convection. T-numbers have remain either steady or
decrease slightly, so the initial intensity has been kept at 30 kt
at this time. Despite the current lack of organization, the cyclone
is expected to be in a very favorable environment of low shear and
over warm waters. With these conditions, I have no option but to
forecast strengthening. This process will probably be slow during
the next day or so, but after that time, the cyclone should
strengthen at a faster pace and become a hurricane. This follows the
latest intensity guidance which suggest that the most rapid increase
in the winds should occur beyond 48 hours.
The depression appears to be moving toward the west-northwest or
290 degrees at 11 kt. The steering pattern has not changed, and
global models continue to forecast a strong ridge extending from
Mexico westward across the Pacific. This flow pattern will keep the
cyclone on the same general west-northwestward track for the next 5
days, as indicated by the general guidance. This solution is not
different from the previous NHC track forecasts which have been
keeping the core of the cyclone well south of the coast of Mexico.

Boy, satellite can be a liar as by appearance alone it would lead to one making the comment that this looks better then Bret, Cindy and Don.

If there was recon the plane would probably find 50kt winds somewhere in an embedded thunderstorm . As wxman57 likes to say.

This is precisely the kind of system where Dvorak fails quite a bit.

Re: EPAC: NINE-E - Tropical Depression
Any Pro met:
Why do storms like Bret and Don manage to produce tropical storm force winds, while appearing less impressive on satellite compared to 8E and 9E. It is my observation that Eastern Pacific systems appear to need deeper convection to produce the same winds. Is there something different in pressure set up that causes this difference like a stronger pressure gradient in the Atlantic between the subtropical high to the north and the area of low pressure(cyclone).

These early season Atlantic waves are moving at 20 to 25 knots. It means it doesn't take that much organization to produce tropical storm force winds on the north side of the low where the winds are easterly with respect to the center. These easterly winds get added to the strong background flow to produce 40+ knot winds despite poor organization.
