Tropical Depression Three-E Forecast Discussion Number 3
2020-06-25 04:35:05| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 500 PM HST Wed Jun 24 2020 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 250234 TCDEP3 Tropical Depression Three-E Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032020 500 PM HST Wed Jun 24 2020 There has been little change in the organization of the depression since the previous advisory. Deep convection that was located over the southern portion of the circulation waned during the early afternoon, but a new convective burst has developed within the past couple of hours to the south of the exposed low-level center. The intensity has been held at 30 kt, and is based on the earlier ASCAT data and the most recent Dvorak CI numbers from TAFB and SAB. Although the depression is moving over warm waters and within an area of low wind shear, water vapor imagery indicates that mid-level dry air is located near and just north of the cyclone which is likely the cause of the lack of convection over the northern portion of the circulation. As a result, only modest strengthening is anticipated over the next 24 to 36 hours. After that time, dry air and gradually decreasing SSTs along the forecast track are likely to cause weakening. The latest intensity guidance is slightly lower than the previous cycle, and the NHC intensity forecast has been adjusted accordingly. The new official intensity forecast is in best agreement with the latest HFIP corrected consensus aid. The depression has been moving more westward than expected, with an initial motion estimate of 285/8 kt. A cut-off low well to the north-northwest of the depression is expected to weaken the deep-layer ridge that is currently steering the cyclone. This should cause the depression to turn northwestward on Thursday, with this motion continuing over the next couple of days. By 60-72 h, the weakening tropical cyclone should turn back toward the west as it is steered by the low-level flow. Later in the period, the remnant low is forecast to turn west-southwestward within the trade wind flow over the central Pacific. The latest track model envelope has shifted somewhat southward, which has required a southward adjustment to the official forecast. The new NHC forecast lies between the previous advisory and the latest consensus aids, along the northern portion of the guidance envelope.

Tropical Depression Three-E Forecast Discussion Number 2
2020-06-24 22:32:03| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 1100 AM HST Wed Jun 24 2020 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 242031 TCDEP3 Tropical Depression Three-E Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032020 1100 AM HST Wed Jun 24 2020 Satellite imagery indicates that Tropical Depression Three-E has a small and well-defined circulation with the center just to the northeast of the main convective mass. A recent ASCAT-B overpass showed 25-30 kt winds to the southeast of the center and 20-25 kt winds in other parts of the circulation. Based on this, the initial intensity remains 30 kt. The initial motion is now 290/8. There is no change in the forecast philosophy from the previous advisory. A deep-layer ridge to the north of the cyclone is weakening as a mid- to upper-level trough develops to the northwest and west. This evolution should cause the depression to move northwestward between 12-60 h. After that, the cyclone should be weakening with the low-level trade winds becoming the main steering mechanism, resulting in a west-southwestward motion for the balance of the forecast period. There is some spread in the forward speed between the faster GFS and the slower UKMET/ECMWF, and the new official forecast compromises between them in a track that is near, but a little faster than, the consensus models. There is also no change to the intensity forecast reasoning. Conditions appear favorable for strengthening for the first 36 h or so, and the depression is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm during that time. Beyond that time, increasing vertical wind shear and dry air entrainment should cause a gradual weakening, and most of the global models forecast dissipation near 120 h. The intensity guidance for this advisory is weaker than the previous guidance, so the new intensity forecast, which is little changed, now lies near the upper end of the guidance through 72 h.

Tropical Depression Three-E Forecast Discussion Number 1
2020-06-24 16:57:54| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 500 AM HST Wed Jun 24 2020 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 241457 TCDEP3 Tropical Depression Three-E Discussion Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032020 500 AM HST Wed Jun 24 2020 The small low pressure area well southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula has acquired enough organized convection near and southwest of the center to be designated a tropical depression. Thus, advisories are being initiated on Tropical Depression 3-E. The initial intensity is set at 30 kt in agreement with satellite intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB. The initial motion is 275/6. A deep-layer ridge to the north of the cyclone is weakening as a mid- to upper-level trough develops to the northwest and west. This evolution should cause the depression to move northwestward between 24-72 h. After that, the cyclone should be weakening with the low-level trade winds becoming the main steering mechanism, resulting in a west-southwestward motion for the balance of the forecast period. The official track forecast is near the various consensus models. Conditions appear favorable for strengthening for the first 36 h or so, and the depression is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm during that time. Beyond that time, increasing vertical wind shear and dry air entrainment should cause a gradual weakening trend, and most of the global models forecast dissipation near 120 h. The forecast peak intensity of 45 kt is near the upper end of the intensity guidance, with the remainder of the forecast near the intensity consensus.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Dolly Forecast Discussion Number 9
2020-06-24 16:33:25| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 AM AST Wed Jun 24 2020 000 WTNT44 KNHC 241433 TCDAT4 Post-Tropical Cyclone Dolly Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042020 1100 AM AST Wed Jun 24 2020 The center of Dolly has been exposed since last night, and any remaining convection has been displaced well to the system's south. The circulation is now traversing over waters below 20 degrees C, and therefore is not anticipated that any deep convection will return to the post-tropical remnant low. The initial intensity of 30 kt is based on an overnight ASCAT overpass. The low is forecast to gradually spin down through tonight and will likely open to a surface trough sometime on Thursday as it continues to move northeastward at around 15 kt. This is the last NHC advisory on this system.

Tropical Depression Dolly Forecast Discussion Number 8
2020-06-24 10:32:20| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 AM AST Wed Jun 24 2020 000 WTNT44 KNHC 240832 TCDAT4 Tropical Depression Dolly Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042020 500 AM AST Wed Jun 24 2020 Deep convection associated with Dolly has become limited and it is confined to an area well to the east of the exposed center. This degraded structure is because the cyclone is now over very cool 22 degree C waters. ASCAT data from several hours ago indicated that maximum winds have fallen below tropical storm force, and the initial intensity is lowered to 30 kt based on that data and the latest Dvorak estimate from TAFB. This makes Dolly a tropical depression, and the system is well on its way to becoming a remnant low. Since the depression is headed for even cooler waters, continued weakening is expected and Dolly will likely become a remnant low later today. Dissipation is now expected to occur by 36 hours, but the global models suggest that it could occur even sooner than that. The tropical depression is moving northeastward at 10 kt. A faster northeastward motion on the north side of a subtropical ridge is expected until the system dissipates on Thursday. The NHC track forecast lies near the middle of the tightly clustered model solutions.
