Hurricane SIMON


Baja is not out of the woods yet; this is a week's notice for a heads' up for more weather.

It appears that this system will almost certainly become a tropical storm very close to the southern coast of Mexico. Does that bode well or ill for Baja or is it too early to say? I ask at the zero hour! After weeks of putting off plans to drive down, I plan to do so in the wee hours of the morning. Any idle chatter on the topic I will greedily devour. I will probably go on the thinking that conditions are no longer ripe for a major hurricane event and also because the most models suggest that this system will stay out at sea, away from the Peninsula. The NHC says that it is 90% likely that this system will become a tropical storm within the next five days.... Will it never end?

my crystal ball says that this will certainly develop into at least a tropical storm and most likely Hurricane Simon that will bring more nice surf our way mid week next week but not much wind...maybe some rain...but probably not here as we are muy saladas when it comes to rain...meaning we have bad luck and rarely get rain.

I think Odile was "the big one" I had predicted way back in the spring although it was Norbert who did more damage here in Asuncion with the big swell.

OHHHH CHRYSTAL BALL.........!!!!

Zola, call the gal in Lake Elsinore and borrow a few Xanax. This late, water is cooling down (general ocean temps) so JUST GUESSING won't be a major 'nuther hurricane, but WILL bring tropical moisture up to the western mainland and Baja. MAYBE. So, whatever you ran out of, BUY MORE. And, maybe, just MAYBE, could fizzle, but keep kewl, and plan accordingly.

Shari, your crystal balls are very impressive. Let's hope Mulege doesn't do any more 'dredging' upstream for the nonce. Once again, El Niño has impressed the living chite out of me... man, what a show of nature. I once again feel for all of you , and am sorry I can't physically be there to help. Y'all button up and keep the THIRD-EYE open (for those who knows). I didn't post this thread for me.

Thanks for the advice, and I didn't mean to overreact. I never before paid close attention to hurricane weather, and I am getting a crash course this season! I will pass on the Xanax and take comfort in some red wine instead. :)

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
1100 PM PDT MON SEP 29 2014

An elongated area of low pressure located a few hundred miles
south of Acapulco, Mexico, is producing disorganized showers
and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected to
gradually become more conducive for development, and a tropical
depression is likely to form later this week while the system moves
west-northwestward or northwestward near 10 mph. Regardless of
tropical cyclone formation, this disturbance should produce locally
heavy rains over portions of southern Mexico that could cause flash
flooding and mud slides.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

I think this is a great statement. But could it be the world is not flat and there isn't really an invisible man in the sky pulling my strings?

we have been closely watching storm developments and tracks since we got internet here...before that, we listened to reports on the VHF radio and could only guess and hope for the best.

It is fascinating to study the different models and how reliable they each are or not and take into consideration all the factors of water temps, ridges etc. Reading the discussions on eebmike is interesting to learn what steers these things and one gets to know the fellows writing the discussions too.

It is so comforting to be able to watch the storms real time via satellite imagery...until the power & internet goes out...then we are back to square one listening to the vhf again and watching the sky.

Simon looks like a crap shoot...could go either way at this point... east or west? I am leaning west...:light:

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
500 PM PDT TUE SEP 30 2014

An elongated area of low pressure a few hundred miles south of the
southern coast of Mexico has shown little change in organization
during the past several hours. Environmental conditions conditions
are favorable for a tropical depression to form tomorrow or Thursday
while the system moves toward the west-northwest or northwest near
10 mph. Regardless of tropical cyclone formation, this disturbance
will likely produce locally heavy rains over portions of southern
Mexico that could cause flash flooding and mud slides.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

500 AM PDT WED OCT 1 2014

Shower and thunderstorm activity has increased a little in
association with an elongated area of low pressure located a couple
hundred miles south of the southern coast of Mexico. Environmental
conditions are favorable for a tropical depression to form later
today or Thursday while the system moves toward the west-northwest
or northwest near 10 mph. Regardless of tropical cyclone formation,
this disturbance will likely produce locally heavy rains over
portions of southern Mexico that could cause flash flooding and mud
slides.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

I am new to this site, and have a question about these forecasts. Can someone tell me if these are six different possibilities created by the same program, or predictions of six different programs? Has your experience shown any one model to be more reliable than another?
I notice that storm track NGFDL, exactly matches my destination and timetable!
Thanks, G.L.

AK, even the bestest of the bestest will testify that anything more than a 72-hour forecast is at best a 60% probability of an educated guess (Quote by Mark Eubanks, Utah meteorologist extraordinaire). Best to plan on being flexible, load for bear, and have lots of extra cervezas..
