Tropical Storm Genevieve Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122020
400 PM CDT Sun Aug 16 2020
Visible satellite imagery shows that the tropical cyclone is quickly
becoming better organized. Several bands of deep convection are
located around the center, and there is a concentration of
convection near the estimated center, suggesting that a CDO may
already be starting to form. The various satellite intensity
estimates were around 35 kt at 18z, and an earlier ASCAT overpass
revealed a couple of wind vectors slightly higher than that value.
Based on the continued increase in organization, the advisory
intensity has been set at 40 kt. Genevieve becomes the seventh
named storm in the eastern Pacific basin this hurricane season.
Although there are a few dry slots noted within the bands of deep
convection, environmental conditions of warm water, low shear, and
plenty of low- to mid-level moisture along the forecast track
suggest that Genevieve will intensify quite rapidly over the next
couple of days. The statistical and dynamical guidance, along with
the global models, deepen the cyclone rapidly over the next 2-3
days. The latest SHIPS Rapid Intensification Index shows about a
65-percent chance of 65-kt increase in wind speed over the next 72
hours, and DTOPS gives a 90-percent chance of a similar increase in
intensity over that same time period. All of this leads to an
unusually high level of confidence that Genevieve will rapidly
strengthen, likely becoming a hurricane in 24 hours and a major
hurricane within 48 hours. The NHC intensity forecast is similar to
both the SHIPS and HFIP corrected consensus models. After 72 h,
Genevieve is expected to reach cooler waters, and a fairly quick
rate of weakening is forecast after that time.
Recent satellite fixes suggest that the center is located slightly
north of the previous track, but Genevieve's motion remains
west-northwestward at a brisk 17 kt. The track forecast philosophy
is unchanged from before. Genevieve should move west-northwestward
to the south of a deep layer ridge over the western United States
during the next couple of days. After that time, the cyclone will
be approaching the western portion of the ridge and a slightly
slower northwestward motion is expected. The new NHC track forecast
is slightly north of the previous advisory through 24 hours due to
the more northward initial position, otherwise the updated forecast
is similar to the previous advisory, and is close to the HFIP
corrected consensus model.
Although the tropical cyclone is forecast to remain well offshore
the southern coast of Mexico, large swells generated by the
strengthening system are expected to begin affecting portions of
the coast of southern Mexico over the next day or so.
