Atlantic Tropical Action 2013 - Part 2

We would really enter the twilight zone this year if we don't eventually get a hurricane

without a -AMO and or El Nino pattern present. All the years without a hurricane until

later than 2002 or none at all were El Nino and or -AMO. Most years were a combination

of the two.

There is a huge surf contest in Long Beach this weekend. Well I mean there is supposed to be. They have been hosting it during this time of the year for 13 consecutive years and the last 12 featured fantastic surf at least one day during the 7 day waiting period. This year.... Seriously unlucky 13!!!

Last cat 5 in the ATL basin was 07'. Dean & Felix. 

Last Cat 4 was Katia and Ophelia in 2011*

06' and 07' were the last consecutive years without a cat 4 in the ATL basin.86-87' before that

92-94' were 3 years without a cat 4.

Just some random facts. 

 

 

Felix and Dean reached cat 4 before maxing out

Now that we're not looking to the tropics for actual development and storms, time to think of the other purpose of the Atlantic Basin for late Spring through early Autumn, which is providing rain for my lawn when Winters and Spring are unusually dry.

 

2.51 inch PWs with weak tropical waves and 2 to 5 inches of rain across SETX the next week.  Maybe the FIM gets too excited about moisture surges, but the GFS supports the happiness.

 

This probably never closes off, won't mess up breaking the 2002 record, and sure, I was hoping a few days ago 97L/GabbyCorpse would hit Florida.  Who didn't, Hebert Box and eveything.

 

But when life gives you lemons...  Yes, sugar, ice and water help. Speaking of, I could see this being a lemon next Thursday.  Not likely to develp because its 2013, but this time of year, gifts to the temperate climates from the tropics are appreciated.

One good thing about this fail of a season to this point is getting to see rainstorm's excitement level increase lmao. Those antiweenie posts have always made me laugh because of the reactions to them. Ironically, Rainstorm got hit twice directly (Isabel and Irene). Isabel hit after a prediction that the east coast was protected lmao.

Yikes. No hurricanes this year, hopefully you guys get enough swell to hold the contest. Here on the west coast we got the ASP Trestles contest in a little over a week. Surf has been flat here too for the most part, hopefully something shows up in time.

Well its relatively clear via microwave and satellite imagery that 99L is a tropical cyclone of some sort... but since recon won't get there in time, NHC has no choice but to let it slide until the system makes landfall despite having "gale force winds."

 

Perhaps this will be a storm that gets added in the TCR later on.

Yep, we are just collecting different kinds of fail. Including that the Tampico radar chose a good time to malfunction.

Luckily, this wasn't the Quicksilver Pro year. Did you see the guy that went out during Sandy?

99L upped to near 100%. Advisories will be issued in the next couple hours per the TWO.

Even that is a fail :D ... but cool to see that. Tampico/Altamira sitll reporting N winds, so it's still offshore...Altamira station has rapid fire, has dropped 1.7mb in less than an hour.

Ugh chalk up another one...

 

SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE LOW
PRESSURE AREA NEAR TAMPICO MEXICO HAS SLOWED ITS FORWARD MOVEMENT
DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS. THIS HAS ALLOWED IT TO STAY OVER WATER
AND BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED...AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION ADVISORY
WILL BE ISSUED IN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO.
THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH
CHANCE...100 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS...AND A HIGH CHANCE...100 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY
TO BRING 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL...WITH ISOLATED MAXIMUM AMOUNTS
OF UP TO 8 INCHES...IN THE MEXICAN STATES OF VERACRUZ AND
TAMAULIPAS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WINDS TO NEAR TROPICAL
STORM FORCE ARE ALSO EXPECTED IN A FEW SQUALLS TODAY AND TONIGHT.

And another...possibly. 

 

 

OTHER SYSTEMS WITH FORMATION POTENTIAL BEYOND 48 HOURS...

A TROPICAL WAVE APPROACHING THE COAST OF WEST AFRICA IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE OVER THE FAR EASTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN IN A DAY OR TWO...AND
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS LIKELY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS
SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...NEAR 0 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS...BUT A HIGH CHANCE...60
PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS

Tampico just had a wind shift...reporting SW winds...Altamira bottomed at 1008mb and pressure is now rising...It's inland already.

 

Just really poorly played by the NHC... first cancelling the 12z recon mission, next dropping the 99L probabilities to 20%. I guess they thought it was going inland earlier.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHT SPECIAL DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL082013
130 PM CDT FRI SEP 06 2013

THE LOW PRESSURE AREA OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO MOVED MORE
SLOWLY THAN ORIGINALLY PREDICTED...AND THIS ALLOWED MORE TIME FOR
THE SYSTEM TO BECOME ORGANIZED BEFORE REACHING THE COAST OF MEXICO.
WITH THE INCREASED CONVECTIVE BANDING NOTED TODAY
...THE SYSTEM IS
NOW CLASSIFYABLE AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. NO ADDITONAL
STRENGTHENING IS EXPECTED AS THE CENTER IS NOW MOVING INLAND NEAR
TAMPICO MEXICO. FROM THIS TIME...THE CYCLONE SHOULD WEAKEN AND
DECAY TO A REMNANT LOW PRESSURE AREA IN ABOUT 24 HOURS...AND
DISSIPATE COMPLETELY BY 36 HR.

THE INITIAL MOTION IS A SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN 250/5. A LOW/MID-LEVEL
RIDGE TO THE NORTH OF THE DEPRESSION SHOULD STEER IT GENERALLY
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNTIL DISSIPATION.

THE MAIN THREAT FROM THIS DEPRESSION IS HEAVY RAINS OVER THE MEXICAN
STATES OF VERACRUZ AND TMAMULIPAS...ALONG WITH POTENTIAL FOR FLASH
FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 06/1830Z 22.3N 97.8W 30 KT 35 MPH

I wish they would be more specific than just saying the west coast of Africa, it is a fairly large continent.

The only favorable area for development this year is the BOC.

Decent 12Z GEFS support for another Tampico depression or even a minimal storm, mid-late next week.

 

 

Edit

 

 

Bias adjusted product of 11 members of the 0Z GEFS is sort of happy with the BOC/Western Gulf for precip, giving more support to the idea of a weak disturbance.

 

6Z FIM shows a almost tropical depression landfalling near CRP swing 2.5 inch plus PWs into all of SETX.  Just need to get these waves and weak depressions a little further North.

 

12Z FIM a bit farther South, keeps the 2.5 inch PW South of MBY, doesn't close off a circulation, but does have 20 to 25 knot winds on the NE side of the wave next Wednesday, which would probably mean small craft warnings from HGX and CRP if it verifies, and I'd say glass quarter full on a lemon.

Which may make early next week a bit more interesting as the NW Caribbean wave moves generally NW and enters the Western Gulf and tracks a bit longer over water allowing for a spin up prior to moving inland along the Southern/Middle Texas Coast.
