Tropical Depression GENEVIEVE Forecast Discussion Number 9
2014-07-27 10:42:01| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)
Issued at 200 AM PDT SUN JUL 27 2014 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 270841 TCDEP2 TROPICAL DEPRESSION GENEVIEVE DISCUSSION NUMBER 9 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP072014 200 AM PDT SUN JUL 27 2014 Genevieve continues to battle westerly shear. The low-level center remains exposed to the west of the deep convection, which has been pulsating during the past several hours. The initial intensity is held at 30 kt, in agreement with a Dvorak classification from TAFB. The official forecast calls for little change in strength during the next several days. Although the strength of the system is not expected to change much, the depression is anticipated to become a remnant low in the next 24 h due to the continued influence of shear and dry air. Regeneration into a tropical cyclone is possible, however, in a couple of days when the system moves into a more favorable atmospheric environment. The depression is moving westward at about 8 kt on the south side of a low- to mid-level ridge. A turn to the west-northwest is expected during the next 24 to 48 hours, and that motion should persist through the remainder of the forecast period. The official track forecast is slightly slower than the previous one and near the middle of the guidance envelope. Genevieve has crossed 140W longitude and, therefore, the next advisory on this system will be issued by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center. Forecast discussions can be found under AWIPS header HFOTCDCP2 and WMO header WTPA42 PHFO.
