Hurricane Hector Forecast Discussion Number 18

2018-08-05 04:39:42| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)

Issued at 800 PM PDT Sat Aug 04 2018 058 WTPZ45 KNHC 050239 TCDEP5 Hurricane Hector Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102018 800 PM PDT Sat Aug 04 2018 Hector has the textbook appearance of a major hurricane in satellite imagery this evening, as it is maintaining a well-defined 10 nm wide eye inside a central dense overcast. Satellite intensity estimates are mostly near 115 kt, and based on these estimates that will be the initial intensity for this advisory. The most notable change since the last advisory has been an increase in convection in an outer band that now mostly surrounds the CDO. The initial motion is 275/10. There is little change to the forecast philosophy from the previous advisory. A large subtropical ridge to the north should steer the hurricane generally westward through the forecast period, with Hector gradually gaining some latitude on Sunday and beyond due to a weakness in the ridge. By 72-96 h, most of the guidance shows a more westward motion south of the Hawaiian Islands. Based on slight shifts in the consensus models, the new forecast track is nudged a little to the north of the previous track through 72 h, and it is similar to the previous track after that time. It should be noted that there remains some spread in the dynamical models as Hector approaches Hawaii, with the NAVGEM, HWRF, and GFS to the north of the center of the guidance envelope and the ECMWF to the south. The recent increase in outer band convection decreases the short- term chance that Hector will become an annular hurricane. However, the cyclone will be in the light-shear moderate-SST conditions favorable for such an evolution, and it could occur later in the forecast period. Before this, it is likely that Hector will undergo another eyewall replacement with associated fluctuations in intensity. After 36-48 h, the hurricane should start to encounter a drier airmass and slowly weaken in consequence. The new NHC intensity forecast is unchanged from the previous one, and it lies at the upper end of the intensity guidance. While the official forecast track continues to lie south of the Hawaiian Islands, it is too soon to determine what kind of impacts might occur in the state, since track errors can be large at long time ranges. This remains a good time for everyone in the Hawaiian Islands to ensure they have their hurricane plan in place.

Hurricane Hector Public Advisory Number 18

2018-08-05 04:38:14| National Hurricane Center (East Pacific)

Issued at 800 PM PDT Sat Aug 04 2018 204 WTPZ35 KNHC 050238 TCPEP5 BULLETIN Hurricane Hector Advisory Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102018 800 PM PDT Sat Aug 04 2018 ...HECTOR BECOMES A CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE... SUMMARY OF 800 PM PDT...0300 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...14.3N 134.7W ABOUT 1395 MI...2245 KM ESE OF HILO HAWAII MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...130 MPH...215 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 275 DEGREES AT 12 MPH...19 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...953 MB...28.15 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. Interests in the Hawaiian Islands should monitor the progress of Hector. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 800 PM PDT (0300 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Hector was located near latitude 14.3 North, longitude 134.7 West. Hector is moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue for the next few days with an increase in forward speed. On the forecast track, Hector will cross into the central Pacific basin Sunday night or early Monday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher gusts. Hector is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Fluctuations in strength are likely during the next few days. However, Hector is expected to remain a major hurricane as it moves into the central Pacific basin. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 953 mb (28.15 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 200 AM PDT. $$ Forecaster Beven
