Tropical Depression Sixteen-E Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP162021
400 AM CDT Sun Oct 10 2021
The system we have been monitoring over the last several days off
the southern coast of Mexico has been gradually improving in
organization. An earlier ASCAT-A pass at 0257 UTC indicated that a
closed surface vortex was developing, especially after investigating
the ambiguity wind solutions from the instrument. In addition, the
0600 UTC subjective Dvorak from TAFB was at T2.0/30 kt, which is in
good agreement with the peak winds (29 kt) from the earlier
scatterometer data. Since that time, convection near the estimated
center has only increased in coverage and intensity. Therefore,
advisories are being initiated on TD16-E, the first tropical
cyclone in the East Pacific basin in nearly a month. The initial
intensity has been set at 30 kt in agreement with the scatterometer
and satellite intensity estimate.
The current motion of the depression is estimated at 290/15 kt,
though some uncertainty exists given the system is in its formative
stages. At present, the cyclone is situated on the equatorward side
of an expensive mid-level ridge centered over Mexico that stretches
westward into the East Pacific. This ridge should continue to steer
the tropical cyclone to the west-northwest over then next day or so.
Thereafter, a strong shortwave trough is forecast to dig into the
western United States, creating a pronounced weakness in the
mid-level ridge steering the system. The net result of this synoptic
pattern change is that the tropical cyclone will likely bend
sharply right as the ridge becomes oriented to its east, leading to
a turn north to then northeastward in the 48-72 hour forecast. This
track evolution would likely steer the system to the mainland
Mexican coast in around 96 hours. The latest track guidance is in
pretty good agreement on the general track, though investigating the
GFS and ECMWF ensembles solutions reveals significant uncertainty
in the along-track spread of the current forecast track. The
initial NHC track forecast has been chosen to lie near the consensus
aids, splitting the difference between the TVCA and HCCA solutions.
The environment over the depression appears quite favorable for
intensification, with low shear (around 10 kt) high mid-level
moisture (around 70 percent) and warm sea-surface temperatures
(29-30 C) expected to persist for the next three days. It may take
12-24 hours for an inner core to become established, but after this
structural change occurs, the system appears poised for substantial
intensification. In fact, the latest GFS-SHIPS guidance indicates a
44 percent chance of a 65 knot increase in intensity over the next
72 hours. The first NHC intensity forecast follows suit, showing a
peak intensity of 95 kt in 72 hours. It is worth noting that this
intensity forecast is less than some of the more bullish guidance,
including the latest HFIP corrected consensus approach (HCCA) and
this initial forecast could be conservative.
