Tropical Storm Nora Forecast Discussion Number 4
2021-08-26 16:47:29| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 1000 AM CDT Thu Aug 26 2021 373 WTPZ44 KNHC 261447 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Nora Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142021 1000 AM CDT Thu Aug 26 2021 Satellite images show that deep convection embedded within the sprawling circulation of the depression is gradually becoming better organized, and 91-GHz SSMIS data from 1117 UTC showed improved curvature to the bands, especially within the western semicircle. Subjective Dvorak estimates are now a consensus T2.5/35 kt from TAFB and SAB, while objective numbers from UW-CIMSS are running a little higher. Therefore, the depression is being upgraded to Tropical Storm Nora with 35-kt winds. The microwave data, as well as first-light visible imagery, suggest that the center may be consolidating or re-forming a little farther east of where we had been tracking it. Nora is moving slowly toward the west-northwest (296/6 kt), steered by a strong mid-level ridge located over the southern United States. This ridge is expected to dissolve over the next 24 hours as a shortwave trough moves across the Rocky Mountains, allowing Nora to turn toward the northwest and north-northwest through the weekend. Most of the differences among the track models still appear to be related to the initial location of Nora's center. The GFS continues to show the system having multiple low-level vortices, with a dominant one forming well to the east and moving inland along the southwestern coast of Mexico as early as late Friday, and many more GEFS ensemble members show a similar scenario compared to yesterday. The HWRF and HMON are also in the camp of bringing Nora's center inland over Mexico. Other models, including the ECMWF (and most of its ensemble members), the UKMET, and the consensus aids, still show Nora's center staying just offshore. The new NHC track forecast has been shifted eastward, primarily due to the adjustment of the initial position, and shows Nora's center very close to the coast of southwestern Mexico over the weekend. If Nora's center re-forms, then additional shifts in the track forecast will be likely. By early next week, Nora is likely to head towards Baja California Sur, but here is still a lot of uncertainty on the exact track at that time. Moderate northeasterly vertical shear continues to affect Nora, but this shear is expected to decrease to 10 kt or less in 36-48 hours. In addition, the storm will be moving over warm waters of 28-29 degrees Celsius and through an environment of high mid-level moisture. These factors should allow for continued strengthening, although the system's large size could be one limiting factor in how fast that strengthening happens. Nora is expected to be near or at hurricane strength when it approaches the coast of southwestern Mexico in 2-3 days. However, the intensity forecast, especially on days 3-5, hinges on whether or not the center moves inland. If it does not, Nora will have greater opportunity to strengthen while it heads toward the Baja California Peninsula. Since several of the intensity models assume a scenario where Nora moves inland, the NHC intensity forecast more closely follows the no-land versions of the GFS and ECMWF SHIPS models through day 4 to be consistent with what is shown in the track forecast. Given the high uncertainty in Nora's future track, and its roughly shore-parallel path, a larger-than-normal hurricane watch area has been issued for the southwestern coast of Mexico by the Mexican government. Key Messages: 1. Nora is forecast to strengthen to a hurricane by late Saturday while it approaches the coast of southwestern Mexico, and hurricane and tropical storm watches are now in effect for portions of that area. Interests along the southwestern coast of Mexico should closely monitor the progress of this system and updates to the forecast. 2. Heavy rain associated with Nora is expected across coastal sections of the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco. As a result, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides could occur. 3. Nora is forecast to be near the southern portion of Baja California Sur as a hurricane early next week, bringing a risk of wind and rain impacts to that area. Given the above average uncertainty in the forecast, it is too soon to determine the magnitude and location of these potential impacts.

A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued east of Lazaro Cardenas to Tecpan de Galeana, Mexico. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Hurricane Watch is in effect for... * Lazaro Cardenas to Cabo Corrientes Mexico A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * East of Lazaro Cardenas to Tecpan de Galeana Mexico A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours. Interests elsewhere along the west-central coast of Mexico should monitor the progress of Nora. Warnings or additional watches will likely be required later today and tonight. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Nora was located near latitude 12.5 North, longitude 100.8 West. Nora is moving toward the west-northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through this evening. A motion toward the northwest and north-northwest is forecast to begin overnight and continue through Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Nora will approach the southwestern coast of Mexico on Friday and be very near the coast on Saturday and Sunday. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next few days, and Nora is expected to become a hurricane by late Saturday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Nora can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP4, WMO header WTPZ44 KNHC, and on the web at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep4.shtml?key_messages. WIND: Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area Saturday and Sunday, with tropical storm conditions possible by late Friday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch area beginning Friday or Friday night. RAINFALL: Nora is expected to produce heavy rains over coastal sections of the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco. Rainfall totals of 8 to 12 inches are forecast through this weekend with isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches possible. As a result, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides may occur. SURF: Swells generated by Nora are expected to begin affecting the southern coast of Mexico today and will spread northward to the southwestern coast of Mexico through the end of the week. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
