Forum:2013 Pacific hurricane season/May-June

AOI: South of Cost Rica


System flared up over the far eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean this morning and is now a peculiar and interest blob of thunderstorm activity south of Costa Rica. Latest analysis from the Ocean Prediction Center say that this is a 1008 mbar low-pressure system embedded in the ITCZ. Our first AOI in the EPAC this year. Bears watching.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 20:57, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

I was just coming to the Wiki to tell everyone that too. Haha, It seems that we might have an early riser this season, possibly before the season even starts. This AOI looks particularly interesting to me, as of 7:20 p.m. MDT, I looked at a moving satellite picture on the NHC website. The system is beginning to show some slight rotation and thunderstorm convection looks to be somewhat healthy. Could this become Alvin? Or at least TD 1? We'll have to see. STO12 (talk) 01:20, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Currently, this system is not on the GTWO, but I will not be surprised if the NHC issues a special one soon. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  11:09, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

90E.INVEST
I'm currently not expecting much out of this one, but the next few weeks are going to be quite interesting. Several models see quite a bit of action in the next several days as a powerful MJO pulse comes into the Atlantic and EPac by about May 22nd. By then the CMS sees at least 2 or 3, and possibly even 4, storms developing in the EPac, though heading out to sea. The 06Z GFS is consistent with developing an area of disturbed weather in the Western Caribbean by that time and that could possibly become Andrea. Of course, this is 200 or more hours into the future and the uncertainty is quite high at that point in time, but the next few weeks will bear watching nontheless. I think it's time to wake up from our NHem slumber. There also might have been a subtropical storm in the Atlantic north of the Lesser Antillies the past few days, but NHC never issued any special advisory on that. Might be discovered post-season, if it isn't operationally. Ryan1000 18:52, May 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * The models are in love with this system, most take it up to a hurricane in a few days time, but I think that's a bit bullish for this time of year. Regarding that "sub-tropical storm" we had a few days ago, it was interesting, but it was sort lived and probably will not be added at the end of this year. I found the track I made on several different weather blogs which was cool, but on the other hand felt like they forced a storm out of that low. Going to be tracking more potent systems in the upcoming months. This year is definitely going to be much more interesting than what we have had the last few years. Supportstorm (talk) 23:06, May 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's possible this could become a hurricane, but yeah, that's pretty agressive for a storm this early on. Alma of 1990 remains the earliest hurricane on record to form in the East Pacific proper since the sattelite era began, becoming a cat 1 on the day the season begun, May 15 (though Ekeka of 1992 is undoubtedly the earliest one known to form east of the dateline itself). I have doubts this will do it though. And knowing this year will be ENSO-neutral, we could see anything from a  re-2005 (hopefully not) to a re-2000 or 2008. 2013 will definitely be interesting to watch.

 * On TWO at 30%! Isaac829 E-Mail  19:54, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

This will most likely become Alvin, from nothing to 30%? I mean come on! This thing is getting more organized and is in a slightly favorable environment. Another early season start, about the same time as Aletta from last year. STO12 (talk) 21:43, May 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Some models do see this turning north in 4-5 days and possibly threatining southern Baja California, but I think this will, more likely than not, stay out to sea. I do think this will become Alvin though, it's moving into an increasingly favorable environment. The MJO pulse that will come here in a week or so is just getting warmed up with Alvin-to-be. Ryan1000 11:08, May 15, 2013 (UTC

Neat how Alvin developed on par with the start of the hurricane season. I think this will peak as a solid Category 1 hurricane. As of nightfall its CDO has expanded.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 02:52, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

 * What a twist, now the whole world is dead. As fast as the season began it died out. - HurricaneSpin (Talk)  00:45, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Back up to 30% again. It's got marginal SSTs to work with but the upper level winds are decreasing. Keep an eye out. - HurricaneSpin (Talk)  19:50, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * It looks like it's trying to make the best out of what it has. A look at the NHC's TAFB forecast doesn't expect much from this either. All the winds are stacked towards the north of the system, and it looks like it'll be that way from now on.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 22:08, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

AOI: Over Colombia/Panama
GFS and several other models pulls out a weak tropical storm/depression out of this one four day onwards. Amazingly enough, it is already sitting at 1005mb. With almost non-existent wind shear ahead of its path, we might get Barbara in a couple of days time. - HurricaneSpin (Talk)  00:21, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE SW CARIBBEAN ON WED

AS A TROPICAL WAVE CURRENTLY OVER THE E CARIBBEAN MOVES INTO THE

AREA. THE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL AMERICA INTO THE

E PACIFIC NEAR 09N87W LATE IN THE WEEK.



SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS ACROSS THE SW CARIBBEAN SOF 12N AS

THE MONSOON TROUGH IS ANALYZED ALONG 09N ACROSS PANAMA AND

COSTA RICA.

We've got company. Two separate systems will move into the EPac later today and later this week. GFS anticipates a weak coast-hugger tropical storm/depression, similar to the track of Odile 08'. Keep your eyes open, the sea is not dead. - HurricaneSpin (Talk)  19:31, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

 * I do too, but not until, say 4 days out. Btw (off-topic a bit), pray for the folks in Moore...Their recent tornado was possibly much worse than the one of 1999. Ryan1000 14:47, May 21, 2013 (UTC)

A TROPICAL LOW CROSSING THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA NEAR 10N80W IS

ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IN THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN. IT IS

EXPECTED TO REACH THE SW CARIBBEAN WED. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS

A SURFACE LOW WILL FORM ALONG THE MONSOON TROUGH AS THE TROPICAL

WAVE MOVES INTO THE EASTERN PACIFIC. A SECOND WEAKER LOW IS ALSO

EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE MONSOON TROUGH NEAR 10N86W EARLY

THU...WITH THE LOW MEANDERING IN THAT AREA THIS WEEKEND.

I've got a bad feeling for this storm, there isn't much shear ahead of its path and the seas are well over what it should be at this time of the year. The surface low haven't established yet and GFS is predicting a borderline hurricane. And of course, it's pretty horrible to see what's happening in Moore. Hope they can recover from their losses. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  21:25, May 21, 2013 (UTC)

I think we will see at least tropical depression from this. Probably, we will see a tropical storm. Anyway, this invest is already affecting Mexico. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  21:49, May 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have a feeling this might turn out to be like Five-E or Eleven-E. It might not have enough time to strengthen before it makes landfall. Probably will be a tropical depression. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  23:00, May 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * The models are all over the place for this one. GFDL sees a landfalling hurricane around Texas after reintensifying in the Gulf. HWRF sees a category 2 hurricane making landfall and rapidly dissipating. Conservative models doesn't pick up on 92E at all. Anyway, NHC noted decreased convection and is still sticking with 80%. The outflow of 92E is enormous, with curve bands all the way the Cuba. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  00:03, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

 * I agree, it actually looks rather nice on sattelite imagery. Barbara is looking more impressive now than it ever was. It's pretty similar to the 2007 Barbara, but this one might have a shot at getting a bit stronger. Ryan1000 01:03, May 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I do not think Barbara will become a hurricane; it should peak as a strong tropical storm at the greatest. Also, Barbara's formation marks the first time in Pacific history two consecutive seasons had two storms forming in May. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  02:03, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Up to 40kts and 1001mb. Strongest storm so far this year. Yqt1001 (talk) 02:38, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

NHC says they still anticipate Barbara to become a 75 mph hurricane by the next advisory, when it makes landfall in Mexico, but if it doesn't make it by then, it won't become one at all. Ryan1000 16:17, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, you spoke too soon Andrew. And btw, I think she rivals Humberto to an extent. It wasn't even around a day ago and now we have a hurricane hitting Mexico. This one went from TD to hurricane in less than 24 hours, Humberto made it in 14 before landfall at High Island. Ryan1000 18:11, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

I knew she would topography,low shear and warm water really help this system.Allanjeffs 18:45, May 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, this is only a temporary upgrade. I feel it will be downgraded to a TS by the next advisory and it might die within 12 hours. Barbara's tiny circulation stands no chance against the mountains on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. It would be even less likely for her to reach the BoC. So while this is an imressive spree of intensification she put on, we might have to say good bye to Barbara at the same time. Hopefully it won't be too bad for the folks there, the only other hurricane to hit this area was 1997's Rick. Ryan1000 19:12, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Barbara (2nd time)
50 mph and weakening. Ryan1000 03:38, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Barbara
Almost in the BoC, but it's barely alive. Ryan1000 11:17, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

The NHC expects complete dissipation in about 12 hours. However, there is a new small flare of convection to the storm's north that might make Barbara survive into the BoC. I am crossing my fingers Barbara will become the first storm since Tropical Storm One in 1965 to cross from the Pacific to the Atlantic without losing tropical characteristics. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  11:42, May 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't expect that by now, especially since it's now going northwest, farther over Mexico and not into the BoC. Ryan1000 17:57, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Still at 30%. I think we'll be seeing a season similar to last year, probrably near-normal to slightly below or above normal, more likely than not. However, I'm not looking forward to anything exceptional. My predictions for EPac remain at 14-18 named storms, 6-9 hurricanes, 3-5 majors, and near-normal to slightly above normal ACE. We're going to have ENSO neutral this year, not El Nino or La Nina, but nontheless, it's a year to watch in both the ATL and EPac. Ryan1000 23:36, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

 * Most Pacific hurricanes I've seen are pretty small, some other big storms I've seen include Aletta of 1982, which remained well offshore from Central America but still caused a similar number of deaths and damage as Agatha of 2010 from severe flooding in Guatemala. Cosme should become a hurricane soon, but likely not a strong one, maybe cat 1 or 2 at most. Ryan1000 13:06, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

 * I can be quite sure that even after NHC stop issuing advisories, the LLC is here to stay. Cosme's large circulatory vortex is warping up quite some rotational velocity.

 * I agree with that, HurricaneSpin, some of the model runs even keep Cosme's large circulation alive until it passes north of Hawaii, where it could cause some rainfall and surf in the long run. Even though it won't last much longer as a tropical system, the remnant low will stick around for quite some time. Ryan1000 20:57, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

Invest'ed and 20%. The dynamic models see this potentially recurving north to strike Mexico, or move very near Mexico, in 4-5 days time. Ryan1000 11:46, June 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, it is a good thing that the earlier GFS and CMC runs sending a hurricane up towards the Gulf Coast isn't exactly accurate. This still needs to be watched for Dalila-to-be as impact towards the Mexican coastline is likely. But I don't think it will get anywhere near a hurricane in terms of intensity if the current model runs are accurate. This will need to pass through cooled SSTs in Cosme's wake and interact with land. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  20:52, June 27, 2013 (UTC)
