Tropical Depression Eighteen-E Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP182021
1000 AM CDT Fri Nov 05 2021
The convective structure with the depression this morning remains
disheveled, with only scattered convection pulsing around the
circulation without much organization. The latest subjective Dvorak
satellite estimates are T2.0/30 kt from TAFB and T1.5/25 kt from
SAB, while the most recent UW-CIMSS ADT estimate was T2.1/31 kt. A
blend of these data support maintaining the intensity at 30 kt this
advisory.
Early morning visible satellite imagery suggests that the system is
moving south of due west, with the latest motion estimate at 260/8
kt. As an amplified short-wave trough located over the Gulf of
Mexico propagates eastward, a mid-level ridge ridge centered near
the Baja California peninsula is expected to expand eastward over
Mexico. This feature should dominate the steering pattern over the
depression through the forecast period, leading to a general
westward motion but at a gradually accelerating forward speed.
Because the depression is quite shallow currently, low-level flow in
association with a developing gale-force gap wind event in the Gulf
of Tehuantepec may also assist the system in losing a bit more
latitude over the next 24-36 hours. After 48 hours, a weakness under
the ridge from an downstream disturbance may allow the depression to
gain back a bit of latitude. The track guidance remains in fairly
good agreement, though differences in speed are seen between the
slower GFS versus the faster ECMWF guidance, and another southward
shift has taken place. The official NHC track forecast is a bit
further south and a touch faster compared to the previous one,
following the consensus aids TVCE and HCCA.
The current poor organization of the convection argues against any
short-term intensity changes. While deep-layer (200-850 hPa)
vertical wind shear is expected to remain low, higher mid-level
shear may prevent better convective organization over the next 36-48
hours. While mid-level relative humidity is forecast to be
sufficently moist, visible satellite imagery suggests stable
stratocumulus inflow from the south, while the aforementioned gap
wind event to the north may also contribute to a less-than-optimal
thermodynamic environment. The official NHC intensity forecast now
shows no intensification over the next 36 hours with only gradual
intensification thereafter, favoring the more pessimistic guidance.
If the latest ECMWF and LGEM guidance are correct, the depression
may fail to intensify at all over the forecast period.
