000 ABPZ20 KNHC 061147 TWOEP Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 500 AM PDT Sun Oct 6 2024 For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude: Offshore of Southwestern Mexico: Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located off the coast of southwestern Mexico are associated with a broad area of low pressure. Gradual development of this system is possible, and a tropical depression could form during the next few days while the system moves slowly west-northwestward, roughly parallel to the coast of southwestern Mexico. Regardless of development, this system could bring areas of heavy rain to portions of southwestern Mexico during the next few days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent. $$ Forecaster Kelly

Hurricane Leslie Forecast Discussion Number 16
2024-10-06 10:57:51| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 AM AST Sun Oct 06 2024 000 WTNT43 KNHC 060857 TCDAT3 Hurricane Leslie Discussion Number 16 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132024 500 AM AST Sun Oct 06 2024 The center of Leslie was embedded within a cold, asymmetric central dense overcast for much of the overnight hours. But recently, geostationary satellite images indicate an eye feature is trying to emerge, with a warm spot in infrared imagery surrounded by a ring of deep, cold convection. Based on these satellite trends, the initial intensity is raised to 75 kt, in best agreement with T4.5 Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB. Leslie is moving northwestward (310/9 kt) while being steered by a subtropical ridge centered to the north and northeast of the hurricane. This ridge is expected to build eastward over the eastern Atlantic and remain the primary steering feature for much of the 5-day forecast period. As a result, the NHC forecast shows a continued northwestward motion, remaining near the center of the track guidance envelope. Only small right-of-track adjustments were made to the previous forecast, mainly beyond 48 h. Some near-term intensity fluctuations are possible today, depending on whether Leslie is able to fully clear out an eye this morning. But overall, the environmental conditions are still forecast to become less favorable for further development in the coming days. Drier mid-level air, a more convergent upper-level environment, and increasing southwesterly shear should induce at least a gradual weakening trend in the coming days, and this is reflected in the latest NHC prediction. Since Leslie is a relatively small tropical cyclone, it could be more susceptible to these negative factors and weaken even faster than the NHC forecast later in the period, as suggested by the regional hurricane models.
