Tropical Storm Linda Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122021
300 PM MDT Wed Aug 11 2021
After the issuance of the previous advisory, Linda showed hints of
an eye in visible and infrared satellite imagery. That feature
is no longer apparent, and it appears that some dry air has
infiltrated into the circulation. That being said, earlier
microwave data indicated that the storm has a robust structure, and
new convection is developing near the center. The latest Dvorak
T-numbers are T3.5 from TAFB and T4.0 from SAB, and as a result,
the initial intensity is raised to 60 kt.
Linda has been losing latitude for the past 12-18 hours, and the
initial motion is south of due west, or 260/8 kt. The mid-level
ridge that is steering Linda extends over northern Mexico, reaching
as far as the Baja California peninsula. With Linda approaching
the western edge of the ridge, it should begin to gain latitude
again soon and turn toward the west-northwest by 24 hours. General
ridging should remain in control through the 5-day forecast period,
maintaining Linda on a west-northwestward or westward track with
minimal changes in speed. There were no noteworthy changes to the
guidance on this cycle, and the updated NHC track forecast is very
close to the HCCA consensus aid and not too different from the
previous forecast.
As mentioned earlier today, the environment ahead of Linda consists
of a mix of positives and negatives for intensification.
North-northeasterly shear of 15-20 kt is not expected to decrease
much in the coming days, which could allow some dry air to continue
penetrating into the circulation. On the other hand, Linda's track
will keep it over warm 28 degree Celsius waters for several days,
and strong upper-level divergence should support deep convective
development for another couple of days. Therefore, steady
strengthening is shown in the official forecast, which indicates a
slightly higher peak intensity compared to this morning's forecast.
An important note is that several dynamical and statistical models
are showing the intensity peaking near or at major hurricane
intensity in 2 to 3 days. However, given the presence of the shear,
I'd prefer to keep the forecast on the conservative side and only
nudge the forecast up for now. Future upward adjustments may
be required if Linda strengthens more in the short term than what is
shown in the official forecast. Weakening should occur by days 4
and 5 due to Linda moving over cooler waters.
