According to the latest news emitted by the NHC the disturbance south of Manzanillo, Mexico, is has continued to become better organize and probably this afternoon advisories are going to be posted concerning this system. Up to now Mexico is not threatened by this system.

Looks pretty good, although no real deep convection at this time.

Wow, they have to upgrade it at 5. Look how organized it is, not to mention the obvious circulation and winds.

So, do you think it will be at 30 or 35 mph?? The convection looks to be slightly southwest of the center, but looks pretty good.

Well in the last few images of satilite a blob has blown up were the center is. That pic is about 4 hours old. So based on that I would expect atleast 35 MPH

KC, I was getting ready to say that, too! We will have to see if the convection persists there.

It is a possibility. I favor more likely tomorrow morning for Agatha. It will almost certainly be a TD at 4 pm PDT.

Yes you are most likely correct on that assumption about it getting named. It will probally wain in convection some after the sun goes down. Then with dinurnal heating it will fire back up tomorrow morning and afternoon and probally be named.

At least at 5:00 PM it wont be a TD as they want to wait for more organization as the center of the disturbance is not at the middle of the convection but on the right side.The tropical models update at 18:00z are seeing that and they have not upgraded the winds from 25kts as they leaved those 25KTS the same as this morning to (30kts)=35 mph which is TD freshold but if it organizes a little more then by 11 PM TD#1 will be born.

It looks like it is a strong tropical depression, maybe even a weak tropical storm. But it may only have another 24 to 36 hours at the rate it is going before it moves over colder waters. To be truthful it is likely a tropical depression at this time. But the nhc doe's not like to upgrade systems unless they have to.

As usual the NHC is waiting too much, it looks a TD, good curvature and good amount of showers and thunderstorms, but the NHC is boss here.
