Tropical Depression Eighteen-E Discussion Number 9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP182021
1000 AM CDT Sat Nov 06 2021
After struggling to produce much in the way of deep convection
yesterday, a large nocturnal deep convective burst, with
overshooting cloud tops as cold as -85 C, occurred near the
estimated center of the depression, though this activity is
beginning to wane. An 0815 UTC AMSR2 microwave pass also
suggested modest organization under the cirrus, with some banding
features present in the deep convection. While last night's
scatterometer derived winds only topped out at 27 kt, the most
recent subjective Dvorak intensity estimate from TAFB is at T2.0/30
kt. The latest objective UW-CIMSS ADT estimate is even higher at
T2.5/35 kt. These estimates support bringing the intensity back up
to 30 kt for this advisory.
Using both scatterometer and microwave fixes, the depression has
maintained a south of due west heading over the past 12-24 hours,
with the latest motion estimated at 260/12 kt. This general heading
is expected to continue for the next several days with a gradual
bend poleward in the latter half of the forecast period as the
cyclone rounds the southern side of a expensive mid-level ridge
centered over Mexico. The latest NHC track forecast has been
adjusted just a bit faster, blending the tightly clustered
consensus aids TVCE and HCCA.
The depression's overnight convective burst was well anticipated by
the both the GFS and ECMWF simulated IR brightness temperature and
both models show more persistent activity continuing through the
forecast period. Despite this factor, neither model shows much, if
any, additional strengthening. This result is interesting, since
both the GFS- and ECMWF-based SHIPS guidance indicate low 200-850
hPa vertical wind shear, 27-28 C sea-surface temperatures, and a
fairly moist mid-level environment. One factor possibly limiting the
intensity forecast is the possibility of higher westerly mid-level
shear undercutting the more favorable deep-layer shear. In addition,
the tropical cyclone is forecast to remain at fairly low-latitude
which can sometimes limit vortex spin-up in a lower Coriolis
environment. Even the overzealous HWRF model has come back down to
earth, showing only a peak intensity as a more modest tropical
storm. The latest NHC intensity forecast does still show TD18-E
eventually becoming a tropical storm in 36 h, but does not show any
additional development. This forecast is a blend between the
slightly higher intensity consensus aids (IVCN, HCCA) with the more
pessimistic global model guidance (UKMET, GFS, ECMWF) which do not
indicate any additional intensification over the forecast period.
