Tropical Storm Hilda Forecast Discussion Number 22
2021-08-05 04:35:50| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 800 PM PDT Wed Aug 04 2021 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 050235 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Hilda Discussion Number 22 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082021 800 PM PDT Wed Aug 04 2021 Hilda's satellite appearance has changed little over the past several hours. Small bursts of moderate to deep convection persist in the eastern semicircle of the system, and the low-level center is still partially exposed to the west of the convective cloud mass. Without any recent scatterometer data, the initial intensity is held at 35 kt for this advisory, in best agreement with a T2.5/35 kt Dvorak classification from TAFB. A subtropical ridge over the eastern North Pacific continues to steer Hilda west-northwestward, or 290/7 kt. This general motion is expected to continue for the next day or so, followed by a slight westward turn on Friday as the shallow cyclone becomes steered by a low-level ridge to its north. While most of the models show limited interaction between Hilda and TD Nine-E to its southwest, it is worth noting that the GFS moves both Nine-E and Hilda much farther northward than the rest of the guidance. The GFS solution is not favored at this time, and the latest NHC track forecast remains very similar to the previous one and lies near the multi-model guidance consensus. Hilda is not expected to remain a tropical storm for much longer. As sea surface temperatures decrease along its track and the cyclone moves into a drier, more stable environment, it will become increasingly difficult for Hilda to sustain organized convection near its center. The latest NHC forecast calls for Hilda to weaken to a tropical depression on Thursday and degenerate to a 25-kt remnant low on Friday morning. Then, the global models agree that the system should open into a trough and dissipate by Saturday morning well east of the Hawaiian Islands.

Tropical Depression Nine-E Forecast Discussion Number 8
2021-08-04 22:35:46| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 1100 AM HST Wed Aug 04 2021 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 042035 TCDEP4 Tropical Depression Nine-E Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092021 1100 AM HST Wed Aug 04 2021 Satellite images today indicate that the system has been maintaining two hooking bands of convection to the north and south of the center. In addition, scatterometer data shows a well-defined, albeit a touch elongated, center and 30-kt winds. Thus, advisories are being re-started on Tropical Depression Nine-E after a 3-day hiatus, with an initial intensity of 30 kt. The depression probably only has a few days as a tropical cyclone again because SSTs begin to drop off in a day or so, along with increasing shear and mid-level dry air. Nine-E does have a chance to finally become a tropical storm in the meantime before the aforementioned environmental conditions get less conducive on Friday. The system is likely to degenerate into a remnant low again this weekend (or sooner) as it encounters a very hostile environment. The NHC wind speed forecast is close to the model consensus, but is a smidge higher near peak intensity, owing to the HCCA corrected-consensus guidance. The depression has been moving slowly toward the north-northwest today. A distant mid-level ridge to the northeast is providing the steering for the cyclone. This ridge should strengthen somewhat during the next few days, causing the depression to gradually turn to the northwest on Thursday and continue that motion through late week. Similar to a lot of forecasts this year, the GFS-based guidance is on the right side of the track envelope while the ECMWF and UKMET solutions lie on the left side. The official track assumes that the GFS shows a bit too deep of a tropical cyclone, and so the NHC prediction leans just west of the consensus throughout the forecast period.

Tropical Storm Hilda Forecast Discussion Number 21
2021-08-04 22:34:47| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 200 PM PDT Wed Aug 04 2021 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 042034 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Hilda Discussion Number 21 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082021 200 PM PDT Wed Aug 04 2021 Convection associated with Hilda continues to weaken and shrink in areal coverage due to modest northwesterly vertical wind shear, sub-25C sea-surface temperatures (SSTs), and entrainment of stable, cold-air stratocumulus clouds. A 1656Z partial ASCAT-A scatterometer pass revealed two 33-kt vectors in the southeastern quadrant in the radius-of-maximum winds. Even allowing for some undersampling, this indicates that Hilda is barely hanging on to tropical storm status, and the initial intensity will remain at 35 kt for this advisory. Model analyses show virtually no instability in the center of and north of Hilda right now, and with the cyclone forecast to move over even cooler water and into increasing westerly wind shear during the next 12-24 hours, a rapid decrease in both the convection and cyclone's intensity appears to be forthcoming soon. Hilda is forecast to become a depression later tonight and a remnant low on Thursday. Dissipation is expected by late Friday or Saturday well to the east of the Hawaiian Islands. The latest NHC official intensity forecast is similar to the previous advisory, and follows a blend of the HCCA and IVCN consensus intensity models. Hilda continues on a steady west-northwestward course or 295/08 kt. This general motion is expected to continue into Thursday, followed by a more westward motion on Friday and Saturday as a low- to mid-level ridge builds to north of Hilda on days 2 and 3. The official NHC track forecast is essentially just an update of the previous advisory track, and lies along the southern edge of the guidance envelope between the tightly packed consensus track models to the north and the ECMWF model to the south.
