Ed Lizard Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yeah that plume of convection on the west side pushed the rest of the convection out of the way in the western half. Meanwhile on the east side, what had looked like its own coherent circulation is now degenerating into another ball of thunderstorms. It's a pretty unusual evolution for a TC, isn't it? Usually if there's two circulations in play you'll see one eat the other but it's almost like they're going toe-to-toe. GFS a few days ago was showing that on repeated runs, two distinct 850 mb vort maxes in very close proximity and sort of Fujiwara-ing each other. The GFS ensembles like the wave I was wishcasting to develop in the SW Caribbean a few days ago, as CIMSS MIMIC-TPW showed a most excellent wave that just came in a little too low, with its center running very near the coast of South America. I am assuming a 996 mb storm on a half resolution ensemble means the perturbation is predicting a hurricane. An aside on Ivo, 6Z GFS does wonders for the Salton Sea.

HurricaneJosh Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 It's nice getting rain from a tropical cyclone. I suppose. But I just don't think Jim needs to beat himself up over a tropical shower. As much as Irene was a huge pain in the sack for our house, neighbors, and many citizens, I enjoyed the environment it created. The constant wind, the rain, the duration of the event. It was interesting. Sandy too. I know you have been through some wicked storms but here in Jersey... and California of course... we don't get to see this stuff much and I try to appreciate it for what it is, even if it's not much in the grand scheme of weather. Of course I enjoyed running around in the rain from an early age so I am probably just brain damaged I guess all of us here are a little weird, right? I mean, we hang here on this board, talking about these nerdy topics endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 40 knts stiil, but likely to weaken. All eyes will then move on the wave off Mexico, which has a chance to become the first MH of the season.

Geonerd Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 What's left of Ivo has spun off what appears to be a tightly rotating anticyclonic 'whorl' of thunderstorms over the Gulf of California. It's hard to say for sure, but the IR cloud tops suggest that this new circulation is spinning quite nicely. (Who's got a nice zoomable sat image link to share?) In any event, there's plenty of convection going on. At the moment the complex is heading straight north toward Hermosillo and Tucson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I wonder where Steve (aslkahuna) is. Among many other things, he's our resident expert on the impact that EPAC tropical systems have on the American Desert Southwest, He's literally an almanac of all the potential scenarios.

icebreaker5221 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 I can't believe how badly the East Pac is struggling too. Ivo was a complete flop, and 96E still does not have a closed circulation. A week ago, some model projections showed that 96E could perhaps have been a major hurricane by now, or at least a solid cat 1/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 New Invest 98- whenever I see an invest way out in the Pacific, I always think back to all the 1992 Iniki home movies I have watched on TV. Hawaii Iniki Cradle, I term I just invented, rather active. Still attached to the ITCZ, Neither 97 or 98E appear to be Hawai'i threats, but at least it is something. The formation of Fernand might have ruined what could have been a hurricane and possibly Baja threat, judging from the models that didn't see the Fernand wave developing, and crossed the wave cleanly and at lower latitude across Central America, rather than through the mountains of Mexico, with almost all the GEF members suggesting a sub 1000 mb Juliette passing near the Baja, many below 996 mb.

HurricaneJosh Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 In the long range, the 12Z GFS shows a cyclone threatening the Baja somewhere around Day 11-13. The basic pattern of stuff forming close to the MX coast and riding up in the general direction of the Peninsula seems to persist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 11E is a good example of how a robust convective maxima can easily alter ambiguous upper level flow. In this case, the system was experiencing some northerly shear, and as long as the convection remained pretty weak, it was going to continue to fight that shear, until it reached cooler waters. Instead we see a huge burst of convection, resulting in widespread anticyclonic outflow and now the storm is likely to become much stronger in this storm created lower shear environment.
