Forum:2013 Pacific hurricane season/August

August
Is here, but aside from Gil crossing over, nothing's new. Ryan1000 06:30, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

The NHC is now issuing experimental GTWO's which predict a tropical cyclone's formation probability in the next five days. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  16:24, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

AOI: West of Hurricane Gil
This AOI popped up on the TWO. It has a 20% chance of tropical cyclone formation in the next five days. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  00:37, August 2, 2013 (UTC)

I believe its 91E now.Allanjeffs 02:20, August 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * This could become Pewa after moving into the Central Pacific. If it develops before reaching the CPac (which I don't think will happen), it could become Henriette (or Ivo if the above invest develops). Steven09876  (Talk to Me!!!) (My Edits!) 04:16, August 2, 2013 (UTC)

Allan, Wunderground does not have this invest put up yet on its tracking map. However, it has a 40% chance of tropical cyclone formation in the next five days. Also, it looks like this AOI could become a re-Lala (1984), Iniki (1992), Li (1994), and/or Lana (2009) - all four of those storms begun as EPAC tropical depressions, but were named in the CPAC AOR.

 * The only invest 91 is ex-Dorian off of Florida. This one isn't an invest yet, but it could be one very soon. Ryan1000 14:03, August 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Now it's CPac bound, and at 20%. Ryan1000 13:06, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

AOI:South of Mexico
20% risk, but not on GTWO. YE Tropical Cyclone  04:27, August 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * This is a big one some models have been showing. I doubt it'll affect land, but this could become our first major according to HWRF. Ryan1000 06:04, August 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * 20% and like I say probably our first major of the season.Allanjeffs 19:17, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Aside from this and the AOI near the Lessers, there's also a few waves off of Africa that could be worth watching in the long run, if they survive the dry air environment. Ryan1000 20:34, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Alvin report is out.Up to 50knts and is the second lowest latitude tropical cyclone on record in the epacAllanjeffs 03:55, August 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yep, tied with Annette of 1976 and behind Adolph of 1983. Back to this, I'm surprised it's not invested yet. 40% chance for the next two days and 70% for five days. Should be Ivo real soon. Ryan1000 12:30, August 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think this will become Ivo, and maybe even be our first major. Steven09876  (Talk to Me!!!) (My Edits!) 15:02, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

92E.INVEST
Investe'd 50%/70%. YE Tropical Cyclone  02:13, August 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Here comes Ivo, and possibly our season's first major. According to GFS, this one could be a long-term Hawaii threat. Ryan1000 04:33, August 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * How do you guys know this was invested? I'm not seeing anything on Wunderground. Anyway, chances are down slightly to 40%/70%. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 12:29, August 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * I still think this will become Ivo, and possibly be a long-term threat to Hawaii. Steven09876  (Talk to Me!!!) (My Edits!) 15:07, August 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * This invest is down to a 30% (60%) chance of tropical cyclone formation, but conditions should get better for it. Man, the EPAC is really rocking in terms of named storms and hurricanes this year. Major hurricanes, no. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  00:54, August 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Down to 20%/40%. I'm starting to doubt development of this system. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 12:01, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Well, guess what? This invest is up to a 70% chance of tropical cyclone formation! I think we will see Ivo later today. This invest has really surprised us. Steven09876 (Talk to Me!!!) (My Edits!) 15:16, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Holy cow! This invest exploded overnight! Now it has an 80% chance in the next five days. Based on visible imagery, we could see a tropical depression later today. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  15:19, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

Looks like this invest should be Ivo not too long from now. ST✪12 20:18, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

Down to 50%.This invest is bipolar,It better develop or not.Allanjeffs 00:34, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

It has a 60% chance in the next five days. It still has a couple of days left before wind shear takes over. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  01:10, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

It only has until Thursday to develop,Imagine we were all thinking this was going to be the first major of the season and it still hasn`t develop.The irony.Allanjeffs 04:51, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

Now it only has a 40% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone. Time is running out fast for this invest! Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  16:20, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

Down to a 30% chance. So much for this invest becoming our first major! Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  18:38, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

Bye, bye, 92E! It's at a 20% chance now, and as it enters the CPAC, it will not encounter any better conditions. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  13:27, August 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I think this is done since this has entered unfavorable conditions. Remember when we were all expecting this to become a major? It didn't even become named. What a fail. Steven09876  (Talk to Me!!!) (My Edits!) 15:52, August 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * It tried...poor invest. Ryan1000 17:21, August 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * The invest still has a 20% chance of tropical cyclone formation. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  18:54, August 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Now its chance has been downgraded to 10%. It was a promising storm, but it did not become anything significant at all. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  02:34, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

Don't expect anything from this invest anymore. Its chance is down to near 0% and conditions are nothing but unfavorable. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  15:09, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

Might do something like 93E which was only forecast to become a ts and this one that was forecast to become a major.Figures.Allanjeffs 15:21, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

AOI:Behind Henriette
Wow, the EPac is really going on a hot streak. The one near Mexico could become a major hurricane (Ivo), and this will probrably become Juliette. Near 0% for now, and 20% for the next five days, but conditions are expected to improve, according to NHC. Ryan1000 12:30, August 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think this will become Juliette in a few days. The East Pacific has become really active lately! Steven09876  (Talk to Me!!!) (My Edits!) 15:05, August 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * This AOI is now at a 10% chance of tropical cyclone formation in the next two days, and a 30% chance in the next five days. Gradual development should lead to a minor hurricane, in my opinion. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  19:43, August 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think a strong TS or minor hurricane is possible from future Juliette (or the CPac name Pewa, if it doesn't become a TS until then). Either way, this should follow Henriette and pass out to sea, missing Hawaii. Ryan1000 21:07, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

93E.INVEST
Invested. No, this is a bit of a long-term Hawaii threat. Models have been showing it hitten there for days. 93E is more of a Hawaii threat though, since that's likely to be stronger. but 93E is also a threat to Jonhston Atoll in like a week since it's suppose to re-intensify when it arrives over there. YE Tropical Cyclone  02:17, August 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have doubts this will head directly towards Hawaii like Flossie did, but it's way too far out to tell. The Euro keeps it south of the Islands, the GFS also expects this to pass south of the islands, but it sees 92E hitting the Big Island 264 hours from now (but that's way too far out to be certain) and HWRF keeps this south of Hawaii as well. 92E could turn due west and threaten them in the long run, but this should stay south of them. It could become a hurricane though. Ryan1000 04:33, August 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * 10%/20%. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 12:30, August 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't know if this will become much. It might become Juliette if it develops before reaching the CPac (assuming the above invest develops into Ivo), or it might become Pewa if it develops after crossing into the CPac. I don't think this will threaten Hawaii that much. Steven09876  (Talk to Me!!!) (My Edits!) 15:11, August 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Shower activity is very limited in this system. It is possible it could develop, though. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  00:55, August 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Now it has only a 10% chance of tropical cyclone formation in the next five days. I doubt this will become anything significant. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  19:46, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Back up to 20%. I would prefer this to become Pewa since Hawaii doesn't get a lot of named storms. I would want Juliette to wait in exchange for Pewa. The invest behind it looks to become Ivo too. ST✪12 20:20, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

This invest has potential, but tropical cyclone status is not guaranteed. It is also currently crossing into the CPAC. Should it become a tropical storm, it will be first CPAC AOR tropical storm since 2010's Tropical Storm Omeka. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  21:17, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

 * Woah, didn't check in lately on CPac, and this guy is up to 80%. Wow. Here comes TS Pewa, first storm to be named in CPac in 3 years. Ryan1000 16:58, August 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * A tropical depression might be here from this invest, so its at a near 100% chance of tropical cyclone formation right now. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  12:09, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

90C.INVEST
Soewhere along the line, presumably soon after it got itself back together, this invest was redesignated as 90C. This invest is actually at 30%, since the AoI to its west is shearing it apart. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 12:29, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yep, like Gil vs Henriette, Pewa is dominant over 90C. This could still become Unala, but it'd better get on with it while dodging Pewa, if it can. Ryan1000 20:58, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Pewa's enjoying its breakfast; this invest is down to 10% as it essentially crashes into the northeastern edge of Pewa's circulation. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 03:15, August 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * I am not sure if this is the right invest, but it is now at a 20% chance of tropical cyclone formation. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  17:54, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

 * CPHC at it's finest :P YE Tropical Cyclone  05:57, August 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Central Pacific is just exploding this year. We already have our second named system in the CPAC. Tropical Storm Unala is looking to cross the dateline and then zoom out to sea. Not expecting it to become a hurricane whatsoever. ST✪12 05:27, August 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, I must've been early then. Well, it made the upgrade just before it crossed the dateline. Won't do much though. And the 30% area behind Unala could become Wali; also the 20% area behind that has a chance of becoming Ana, if it holds on. That would make for 4 storms forming in CPac, first time since 1992 and the only time in a non-El Nino year, if I recall correctly. Pretty impressive. Ryan1000 12:20, August 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * I never expected Unala to come from this. If it crosses the dateline, it will mark the first time since 2009 two storms did so in one year! Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  12:56, August 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * And per the CPHC, Unala has crossed the International Date Line! Yes! 2013's now the first season since 2009 to do this! Unfortunately, Pewa will just tear its little sibling apart. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  13:09, August 19, 2013 (UTC)

 * Yikes, CPac is going nuts. If the system behind this becomes Pewa, this would be named Unala. I don't expect this to become as strong though, and both this and the above system should stay well away from Hawaii anyways. Ryan1000 22:53, August 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh my goodness! The CPAC is insane! After going over two and a half years without a named storm, we could easily get two at once. Looks like we are in for a wild week here. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  23:45, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

Oh my god, what? I was just like freaking out once I saw the CPAC graphic on the NHC website. I was just like "What the heck? There's just a giant explosion of activity! TWO 80%s wow!". This is the most impressive thing I've ever seen from the CPAC (besides Hurricane Ioke). Two large areas of activity in which could be named? We are looking to have Pewa and Unala before it's all said and done. I seriously was just in a loss of words on how shocked I was when I first saw this. ST✪12 01:24, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Bad news...This AOI's organization collapsed. It's chance of formation has been downgraded to 30%. Also, one of these AOIs used to be Invest 93E, so it would be better to continue that AOI's discussion up above. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  12:12, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, that's the invest that used to be 93E. This is the AoI that's at 100%. (Confusing, isn't it?) Anyway, it's approaching the midpoint between 170W and the International Date Line, so I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes Trami instead of Pewa. Hopefully we'll get the latter, but I'm not too sure we will at this point. Regardless, it looks excellent on infrared imagery. I honestly think it might be Pewa or One-C already. I mean, if it's strong enough to create hostile conditions for the former 93E... --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 12:26, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

The CPHC advisory package has yet to make it to the front page of their site, but it's up on Wunderground. 35 kt, 1005 mbar. Forecast to peak at 50 kt just after it crosses the dateline, and weaken afterward. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 15:04, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

 * Its not the best model of all but not the worse it is not bullish like the gfdl or ships,so it might I believe she will become a hurricane or a typhoon,With the name Pewa being use now we just need two more name storms to end the third set of use and leaving us one more set.Allanjeffs 15:56, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Btw I discover that of the 4 name retired in the central pacific 3 out of 4 are with an I letter Iwa,Ioke and Iniki.Paka is the only one not starting with and I and be retired.That may mean that Iune have a great chance of being retired when use or it might pull and Isaac and be the only I veteran not being retired.Allanjeffs 16:12, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes! We finally have Pewa. I think this will become a moderate to strong TS. Steven09876  (Talk to Me!!!) (My Edits!) 16:17, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * (ec) Thanks for the info, Allan. The first name on the fourth set is Ana, which is also in use in the Atlantic and will next be used in 2015. I'm hoping that we have just enough CPAC activity this year and next year so that we will have a rare occasion where one name (Ana) is used in two different basins (ATL and CPAC) in the same calendar year (2015). --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 16:19, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

PEWA!!! PEWA!!! Yes! Expect this to reach the WPAC! Also, the CPHC expect winds of 55 knots before it reaches the dateline. Sorry for my immaturity, but it is not everyday you see a CPAC system get named (You should have seen me when Omeka got named!) Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  17:36, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Also, Dylan, that phenomenon could technically happen this year as well. In the WPAC, Tropical Storm Mangkhut's PAGASA name was Kiko. If we can hit the K name (Kiko) in the EPAC, it will happen this year too (EPAC and WPAC). Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  17:57, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Liz, Pewa will not have enough time in the CPAC to become a hurricane, but it could Oliwa or Paka out over in the WPAC. Also, the pronounciation of Pewa is PEH-vah. And Allan, just because Iune is the final original I CPAC name does not guarantee its retirement once its used. Of the original six F names in the Atlantic, Frederic was retired in 1979, Fran after 1996, Floyd in 1999, Frances in 2004, and Felix in 2007. Even though Florence is the last original 'F' name, it is still on the list. Same with the "I"s in the Atlantic (Iris, Isidore, Isabel, Ivan, Irene, and Isaac; only Isaac remains). Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  20:01, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Andrew that is why I said it might not be retired,but it has more of a chance than others,we just need to wait and see.Allanjeffs 20:07, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * 11am advisory keeps Pewa at the same intensity. Looking at the satellite imagery, I'm honestly surprised; Pewa looks excellent. In my own unprofessional opinion, I'd say Pewa looks like a 50-55 knot storm on satellite imagery. And I forgot about that, Andrew, thanks for reminding me! We'd have to pull a 2010 not to make it to Kiko this year. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 20:52, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Pewa could become a typhoon in the West Pacific basin, but other than causing some unpleasant weather for a few of the Marshall Islands or Wake Island, Pewa will probrably be a fishspinner. Ryan1000 20:55, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Now up to 45 kt/1004 mbar. Surprisingly small decrease in pressure given the 10-knot increase in winds. The models are really liking this thing right now. GFDL's going nuts, making Pewa a 130-knot super typhoon in 132 hours. IVCN makes it a 100-knot Category 3, HWRF a 90-knot Category 2. This could be fun to watch. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99)

Severe Tropical Storm Pewa
Pewa has become the first storm since Ioke in 2006 to cross the dateline as a tropical storm! (Kika and Maka were extratropical when they crossed, and Tropical Depression Two-C remained a tropical depression.) Anyways, the JMA is reporting winds of 50 knots (10-minute sustained) and a pressure of 994 millibars. The JTWC is reporting winds of 55 knots. The JMA take Pewa to a 60 knot (10-minute), 975 millibar severe tropical storm, and the JTWC take Pewa to 90 knots (1-minute). Assuming Pewa becomes a typhoon, it will mark the first time since Paka in 1997 a tropical storm formed east of the Date Line, but did not attain hurricane-force winds (a.k.a. typhoon intensity) until after crossing it. (Huko does not count because it already had hurricane-force winds before the crossing!) Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  11:45, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * All the major models develop Pewa into a cat 4 or 5.Allanjeffs 12:29, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * If Pewa explodes in WPac it might be a threat to some islands over there. Hopefully it misses them, the last time we had a storm explode after crossing from CPac to WPac was Paka in 1997, and Oliwa did so earlier that year too. JMA's current forecast for Pewa takes it to 975 mbars 5 days out, but it might get stronger than that. And yeah, for basin-crossovers, we can just put a link to the page where that storm originally developed. Ryan1000 14:51, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think this could become a super typhoon, or pull an Oliwa or Paka. Steven09876  (Talk to Me!!!) (My Edits!) 15:15, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

Typhoons Sarah and Ruby (1967 and 1972, respectively) also exploded once they crossed the Date Line. I think Category 3 status is a good estimate for Pewa right now. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  17:12, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

 * I never said it would reach Japan or other countries over in Asia (it won't), but it could threaten some islands out in the open Pacific on it's way. I doubt it'll hurt them too bad though, if it does at all. Ryan1000 02:27, August 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * 55 kt (10-min) and 990 mbar per JMA, 60 kt (1-min, 70 mph) per JTWC. Almost a typhoon by JTWC's standards. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 03:09, August 19, 2013 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Pewa (2nd time)
JMA estimates 40 kt (10-min) and 996 mbar, while JTWC estimates 45-knot winds. The ULL mentioned in the last CPHC discussions must be taking a toll on Pewa. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 12:26, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Yep, its collapsing rapidly. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  13:14, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Pewa is rapidly weakening! Looks like this won't pull an Oliwa or Paka, as the ULL is really affecting it. But the JTWC predicts it to restrengthen into a typhoon, so this might not be over yet. I also have a new signature: Steven09876 <font color="#030">T 22:00, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Pewa currently has winds of 35 knots (10-minute) and a pressure of 998 mbar per the JMA. The JTWC assesses winds of 45 knots (1-minute). The JMA expects a 40 knot tropical storm, and the JTWC expects a 85-knot Category 2 typhoon. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  02:39, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

One-minute winds are down to 35 knots per the JTWC and the pressure has risen to 1000 mbar per the JMA. While the JTWC still takes it to 85 knots (1-minute), the JMA is giving up. It only forecasts Pewa to reach 45 knots (10-minute) /992 mbar. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  12:42, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

Pewa's winds remain the same per the JMA and JTWC, but the JMA's pressure for the system has risen to 1006 mbar. The JMA expects Pewa to get no stronger than 40 knots (10-minute winds) /1000 mbar and the JTWC has lowered its forecast to 80 knots (1-minute winds). Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  02:21, August 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * The JTWC has lowered their forecast peak strength to 55 knots (1-min). I thought we were supposed to get a Category 3 from this thing. Kinda disappointing, honestly. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 13:44, August 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * Down to a 30-knot (1-min) tropical depression per JTWC, and not forecast to restrengthen :( --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 16:00, August 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * The JTWC has issued their final warning on Pewa. The JMA keeps the system as a 35 knot (10-minute winds), 1002 mbar weak tropical storm. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  01:25, August 25, 2013 (UTC)

Remnants of Pewa
And with a concluding pressure of 1004 mbar (hPa; 29.65 inHg) per the JMA, Pewa has been sheared into oblivion without ever officially becoming a typhoon. However, meteorologically, this storm was quite interesting. It engaged in two Fujiwhara interactions during its lifetime (Unala and 03C), much like Atlantic Hurricane Iris in 1995.

Advisory 6 rolls in with big changes. Ivo's winds are now at 40 knots (45 mph), and a handful to warnings have been issued. A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Pacific Baja California Peninsula coast from Punta Abreojos to Cabo San Lucas, and the Gulf of California Baja California Peninsula coast from Loreto to Cabo San Lucas. Also, a tropical storm watch is in effect for the Pacific Baja California Peninsula from Punta Abreojos north to Punta Eugenia. Tropical storm conditions will are forecast to begin affecting these regions late tomorrow and Sunday night. Precipitation of one to three inches, with isolated amounts of five inches, along with huge swells causing life-threatening rip currents, are expected in the adivised regions as well. Gale-force winds extend 175 miles (280 kilometers) from Ivo's center, and the storm is forecast to attain 45 knot winds. This system also has a six percent chance of becoming a hurricane, but that likely will not happen. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  22:15, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

And as of Advisory 7, Ivo has the same windspeeds and no changes in watches and warnings have occured, but its pressure has risen to 998 mbar (29.47 inHg). It also is still expected to reach 45 knots (50 mph) and has a five percent chance of becoming a hurricane. I expect Ivo to remain below hurricane intensity, unless it pulls a Gil. And in reply to Allan's comment in the previous section, our ACE is rather suckish due to the lack of many strong systems (a la 2003). Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  02:46, August 24, 2013 (UTC)

Advisory 8A reports Ivo is bringing tropical storm gusts and heavy surf to Baja. It remains the same intensity, but it is slightly larger, about 390 miles wide, Also, its chances of becoming a hurricane are now just two percent. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  13:34, August 24, 2013 (UTC)

Advisory 9 comes in...and Ivo has weakened to 35 knots (40 mph)/1000 mbar (29.53 inHg) per the NHC. All of the tropical cyclone watches and warnings that were in effect for this system have been dropped. However, tropical-storm conditions are still possible for the Baja California Peninsula, and swells, as well as rainfall of one to three inches, possibly up to five inches in some areas, are also still forecast. Ivo is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression in 12 hours, become extratropical in 36 hours, and dissipate in 72 hours. It still has a one percent chance of becoming a hurricane, but I seriously doubt it ever will. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  20:51, August 24, 2013 (UTC)

 * SST's aren't cold Andrew; they're actually really warm, and it's only going to parallel Mexico. A landfall is not going to happen, but it could get very strong out to sea. Ryan1000 19:11, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Models are now showing a weak cat 1 :( hope it doesn`t happen.Allanjeffs 20:46, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh well, it's better than what the Atlantic has been coming out with. As long as it becomes a hurricane, I'll be happy, though of course I'd prefer a major. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 21:04, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * It only has two more days before it enters cooler waters like the NHC are saying might be a Ivo repeat.Allanjeffs 00:11, August 27, 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm starting to doubt any development from this. It might become a depression or even Juliette at the last minute, but I don't think it will happen.

96E.INVEST
This new invest has risen as Invest 95E collapses. Like its predecessor, the invest is in an area of only marginally favorable conditions, and it should be slow to develop, if it ever will. Its chances of tropical cyclogenesis for both the next 48 and 120 hours are 30%. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  20:50, August 27, 2013 (UTC)

Although no well-defined circulation is present in this invest, gale-force winds are being reported in the system. Its large size should prompt heavy wave action across vast portions of the southern Mexican coast. Its chances of tropical formation for both the next two and five days are now at 50%. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  02:41, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

While some are worry that we haven`t had a major,the latest  a major have come in here was October 10 and its the farthest down the alphabat had gone to reach a major hurricane which was Norma in 1981"N" imagine that.5 more letters if we want to tie the record and 6 to broke it.Allanjeffs 03:51, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Despite the increase of shower and thunderstorm activity, no closed circulation has been found in this invest. Some slight development is possible as it moves northwestward at 20 mph, but after tonight, conditions will not be as favorable as they currently are. Tropical storm-force winds are possible across regions of southwestern Mexico and southeastern Baja California today. Its chances of becoming tropical have withered to 40 percent for both the next 48 hours and five days. Also, to Allan, there are three comments I want to make about your post. A.) If you count EPAC storms only, yes, we have five storms left to tie that record, but we have technically already had 11 named storms if you count the CPAC. Thus, we are only three storms away from the record. B.) Yes, using 1971-now data, October 10 is the latest date for a season's first major hurricane set in 1981. However, using 1966-now data, 1967 has that record (October 13), and using 1949-now data, 1957 has that record (October 21). C.) If you are referring to 1971-now data, the 'N' letter is the furthest we have gone down in the alphabet without a major (1981), but using 1966-now data, the 'O' letter is the farthest (Olivia, 1967).

And just like Dorian and Erin in the Atlantic, Invest 96E is suffering from the same fate that killed Invest 95E. It is also about to slam into the Baja California Peninsula, and then, all hopes for development should be gone. Therefore, the invest now only has a 30% chance of becoming tropical within the next 48 and 120 hours. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  18:21, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Juliette
Surprise! Isaac829 E-Mail  20:29, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to say I didn't expect this one to become TS Juliette, but the fact it developed when it had a 30% chance of doing so rather than when it was 50% or higher was odd. Anyways, it'll run into southern Baja, deliver some welcome rainfall, then turn out to sea and die. It's upsetting to see all of these failures this season...Ryan1000 21:18, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, I did not expect this invest to develop at the last minute! However, Romeo will not be impressed. This puny pathetic storm is at 40 knots (45 mph)/1002 mbar (hPa; 29.59 inHg). Tropical storm warnings have been issued for the Mexican coast between San Evaristo and Bahia Magdalena. Gale-force winds and rainfall of one to three inches are expected in the warning areas within the next 24 hours. Also, tropical storm-force winds extend 45 miles (75 km) from the center, primarily to the east. I do not expect any significant impact from Tropical Storm Juliette at all. Here comes Norman (2012) 2.0... Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  21:41, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

'O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?' IMO her remnants might pass through California (HOLLYWOOD BABY!) but I guarantee she will stay at Tropical Storm intensity. Romeo will be one happy man indeed. THIS IS PINKAMENA 23:21, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * It might be a failure in terms of storms but it can still be deadly,remember Fernand people.Allanjeffs 23:20, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * With Advisory 1A, Juliette has inched a little closer to Cabo San Lucas. Tropical storm winds should be expected real soon on the Baja California Peninsula, and rainfall of one to three inches are also expected on the peninsula as well. Juliette has a two percent chance of becoming a hurricane, but I doubt it ever will at all. Otherwise, nothing much is new. Also, I do not think Juliette will be a very deadly storm, because A.) Unlike Fernand, Allison, Matthew, Nicole, Olaf, Agatha, Aletta, etc., Juliette is moving quite rapidly, and B.) Unlike Kathleen or Nora, Juliette is not expected to move into the United States. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  00:14, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Romeo will not be impressed at this. Looks like it will be a failure (and I'm talking about it's intensity), but it might bring plenty of rain to Baja. And what's with all the weaklings!? I hope we get a major soon! <font color="#00A" face="High Tower Text">Steven09876 <font color="#030">T 02:37, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Juliette has intensified to 45 knots (50 mph)/999 mbar (hPa; 29.50 inHg). It is expected to graze the coast of Baja California. A tropical storm warning is in effect for the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula from Agua Blanca to Punta Eugenia, and from the east coast of the Baja California Peninsula between from La Paz to San Evaristo. Tropical storm-force winds are gradually spreading over the warning area, and rainfall accumulations of one to three inches are expected across the Baja California Peninsula as well. Gale-force winds extend 60 miles (95 km/h) from the center. Juliette still has a two percent chance of becoming a hurricane per the NHC Wind Probability chart, but I doubt it will do so and it will remain a tropical storm. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  11:53, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * And now, Juliette has collapsed to 35 knots (40 mph/65 km/h)/1003 mbar (hPa; 29.62 inHg). All watches and warnings have been discontinued for Mexico. Juliette is expected to weaken to a tropical depression and degenerate by tomorrow morning. Gale-force winds now extend 30 miles (50 km/h) from the center. Otherwise, not much is new.

Tropical Depression Juliette

 * With winds of 30 knots (35 mph/55 km/h) and a pressure of 1007 mbar (hPa; 29.74 inHg), Juliette will continue moving away from the Baja California Peninsula. Convection has decreased significantly in the system, and rainfall of one to three inches is still expected in the Baja California Peninsula.

'He's coming!' As Juliette heard footsteps outside the room she was locked in, she was worried that someone was coming for her. she was right. To her surprise, it was her one love, her only true love, Romeo. Romeo stormed into the gloomy, eerie room, like a volcano about to erupt. 'JULIETTE! I AM SO ANNOYED AT YOU RIGHT NOW! I DESPISE THE LACK OF EFFORT YOU PUT IN AND YOUR INSUBORDINATION TO YOUR FUTURE. I hate to say this, but we're over.'as he left the room, there was an eerie silence, spoilt by the whimpers of Juliette as the waterworks were unleashed. 'How can this EVER HAPPEN? This is the WORST POSSIBLE THING!' she moaned as tears rolled down from her solemn, forlorn sapphire eyes to her tender, pale cheeks. I'M SURE THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. Juliette. This goes into the Hall of Fail. THIS IS PINKAMENA 00:05, August 30, 2013 (UTC)
