Hurricane Enrique Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052021
1000 AM CDT Sun Jun 27 2021
Enrique has been holding its own over the past several hours, with
some warming of the cloud tops over the estimated center, suggesting
that an eye is attempting to form. The northern portion of the core
appears to be entraining some dry air, which is likely due to
down-sloping from the offshore flow over the mountainous terrain of
Mexico. Otherwise, the core of the hurricane appears well intact,
and the latest Dvorak intensity estimate T-number from TAFB
indicates that the initial intensity remains 80 kt for this
advisory.
Enrique has been wobbling on a nearly due north trajectory for the
past 12 h or so, while the forward motion has appeared to increase
to about 5 kt. There is little change to the forecast track
reasoning. Embedded in generally weak steering flow, Enrique is
forecast to move toward a mid-level trough over northwestern Mexico.
This trough is expected to gradually fill in over the next day or
so, causing the system to turn to the north-northwest. By late
Monday and Tuesday, the weakening cyclone should turn northwestward
as it becomes steered by the lower-tropospheric environmental flow.
The latest NHC track forecast is very near the previous one, and is
close to the TVCE consensus.
Overall, the environment surrounding Enrique is favorable for
strengthening in the near term. On Monday, the hurricane is forecast
to begin moving over waters of decreasing oceanic heat content. Due
to the fairly slow motion of the cyclone over these waters,
upwelling should bring cooler waters to the surface. This would
induce a gradual weakening trend beginning sometime tomorrow. By
Tuesday, the cyclone is expected to begin moving over much cooler
waters and into a drier and stable atmospheric environment, which
will hasten the pace of weakening. Most of the guidance shows
Enrique becoming a remnant low very near the time it reaches the
southern Baja California peninsula, with the low dissipating a short
time thereafter. Other than indicating a little faster transition to
a remnant low and dissipation, the official intensity forecast is
very similar to the previous one, near the high end of the guidance
through 36 h, and then a blend of the SHIPS/LGEM models and the
intensity consensus after 36 h.
Key Messages:
1. The outer rainbands of Enrique are likely to produce heavy rains
across a portion of southwestern Mexico during the next couple of
days, which would likely cause life-threatening flash flooding and
mudslides.
2. Tropical-storm-force winds are expected to continue across
portions of southwestern Mexico through early Monday. Although the
core of Enrique is still forecast to remain just offshore, any
deviation to the right of the forecast track or expansion of the
wind field could bring even stronger winds onshore over a portion of
the southwestern coast of Mexico. Therefore, a Hurricane Watch
remains in effect for a portion of that area.
3. Swells generated by Enrique are expected to affect the
southwestern coast of Mexico during the next few days. These swells
could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.
