Still thinking 14-18 storms, 6-9 hurricanes, 3-5 majors, and 100 to 120% of median ACE values. Pretty average season overall. Ryan1000 16:13, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

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. Ryan1000 23:18, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * 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


 * 80% here comes td1 and possibly Alvin.Allanjeffs 12:50, 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)

Post-Tropical Cyclone Alvin
And it's dead. Never got past 50 mph. Unfortunately, this one failed. I was really hoping at least a cat 1 out of this. Ryan1000 11:12, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

Wow, Alvin passed by so fast. I missed this storm entirely. Maybe I will catch Barbara. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  11:16, May 17, 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)

Back down to 20% again.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 14:38, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Down to 10% as conditions become unfavorable. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  18:08, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

It has been almost a week and Alvin is still quite lively. Seems quite organized on the current satellite images actually. - HurricaneSpin (Talk)  23:11, May 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just crossed the 140W. - HurricaneSpin (Talk)  23:35, May 24, 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)


 * Two Storms in May? For 2 straight years? Wow, that's a first. Hope that happens! Ryan1000 01:26, 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. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(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)

This is the one to the east. Currently forecast to become Barbara before heading into southern Mexico. 91E didn't make it. Ryan1000 12:06, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

 * Yeah, this'll become Barbara. It could even become a hurricane according to some models, but likely not more than 75-80 mph, if that. Ryan1000 11:31, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

Up to 60%. This could shape up to be something interesting.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 15:04, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

 * TD 2E should develop tonight or tomorrow morning if this trends continues I don`t think a hurricane wil ldevelop but Barbara appears poise to come to us from this system.Allanjeffs 21:01, May 27, 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)
 * Looks like it's coming in sooner than I thought. We might not even see Barbara from this, but only 2-e. I think it still has a chance to become Barbara, at most 50 mph, but not much more than that. Ryan1000 00:24, May 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * UP TO 90%! Staying up late to see if a depression forms, and looks like it's going. Advisories should be initiated next morning. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  05:56, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Barbara
Well that didn't take long. (Take 2). 02E wrapped itself quickly and is now a tropical storm per latest NHC advisory.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 23:44, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's developing rather impressively. Yqt1001 (talk) 23:59, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Might have a chance at becoming a hurricane after all.Allanjeffs 00:01, May 29, 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)
 * It sure is developing quickly, with a neat satellite presentation that seems more than a 40 kt tropical storm.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 02:50, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * 65 mph/995 mbar. Also, in the update statement: <span style="line-height:14px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12px;">...HURRICANE WARNING ISSUED FOR THE COAST OF THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC  <span style="line-height:14px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12px;">OF MEXICO...

 * I knew she had a chance at hurricane strength.I had a feeling that it would strength rapidly.Allanjeffs 14:44, 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)

Barbara becomes the first hurricane of the season and Eastern north pacific.Allanjeffs 17:53, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hurricane Barbara
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;">...BARBARA BECOMES A HURRICANE AS IT NEARS THE COAST OF MEXICO... 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)

Remnants of Barbara
NHC fixed the location, so Barbara did make it to the BoC, but not as a TC.-- Isaac829 E-Mail  21:02, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure whether this is the same system. GOES-14 is currently down and I can't really tell if this invest is its westernmost extension or a separate storm.

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)

Quite, yes; Dead? No. This monsoon trough looks slightly more organized today. Although none of the models pull anything out of this, it has still got a chance nevertheless.

It looks as better as ever, with lots of clouds and showers. By the way, this invest now has a 30% chance of forming in the next 48 hours. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  02:48, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

Another tropical wave. Also has the potential to form later this week.

 * I think a depression is forming. Based on the last visible imagery of the day, a ring of convection is forming near the center. We should wait for 03Z advisory to see if advisories are initiated. Also I believe to-be Cosme to develop a banding eye, similar to that of Fausto's or Gustav's when they were tropical depressions. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  01:05, June 23, 2013 (UTC)

 * Cosme is nearly a hurricane. I hope it becomes one today! And Allan, although I do not know the answer to your question, I assume the largest Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone recorded was an intense system, like 1997's Hurricane Guillermo. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  12:05, June 25, 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)

Hurricane Cosme
65 kt, 987 mbar. --HurricaneMaker99 15:13, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

Hooray for Cosme! P.S. A funny coincidence - Cosme's 2007 precedent also had peak winds of 65 kts and a minimum barometric pressure of 987 mbar. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  17:25, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

 * Starting to collapse, It might not even have 36 hours left until it dies out. Ryan1000 17:55, June 26, 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. While it may become convectively defective, the large wind gradient will take a while to degenerate into an open trough. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  20:50, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * 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)

Behind Cosme atm and at 10%. Maybe this could become Dalila. Ryan1000 20:57, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

96E.INVEST
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)

Should be Td 4 pretty soon and probably threaten Mexico.Another thing I am waiting though is to see if Erick fail streak will continue.Allanjeffs 01:22, June 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I would hope for that. :D Eric has never been more than an epic fail every time he was used, and is the only storm in EPac history to never become a hurricane every time he was used since the naming lists of 1978. The ATL has 3 such storms, Ana, Arthur, and Beryl (but they weren't necessarily "fails" all the time...I hardly call last year's Beryl a fail). Ryan1000 02:07, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

Eerie comparison
Okay, I know this section is slightly off-topic, but it relates to Eastern Pacific activity. Anyway, assuming 92E becomes a tropical storm and Mexico, I would just like to point out the following comparisons between 2007 and 2013 so far:
 * Both seasons had its first two storms form in May (and what is even creepier is that it is the same two names!)
 * Both seasons started off with a "Tropical Storm Alvin".
 * In both seasons, the storm named Alvin stayed out to sea.
 * In both seasons, the storm named Alvin reached a peak of 1003 mbar (however, the 2007 "Alvin" had peak winds of 40 mph, whereas the 2013 "Alvin" had peak winds of 50 mph).
 * In both seasons, the storm named Barbara formed in the last week of May.
 * In both seasons, the storm named Barbara made a landfall in Mexico.
 * Both seasons' third storm was a "Hurricane Cosme".

If anyone has additional comparisons, or any comments and/or questions about the comparisons or even this section in general, please feel free to leave them below. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  21:49, May 27, 2013 (UTC)
