Tormenta Tropical FAUSTO (06-E Pacífico Este)

Próximo target en el Pacífico Este, a medio plazo. Los modelos muestran un leve desarrollo, y el NHC activa el código rojo.



2. Satellite wind data indicate that the low pressure area
located several hundred miles south-southwest of the southern tip of
the Baja California peninsula is likely producing winds to gale
force to the southeast of its center.  Although the associated
shower and thunderstorm activity has been decreasing over the past
few hours, any increase in thunderstorm activity could result in
the formation of a tropical cyclone tonight or tomorrow while the
system moves westward or west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...60 percent.

Por cierto, estrenamos "colorines", ya no hay el clásico circulo, sino que ha sido modificado por una cruz.

A ver como evoluciona el sistema y como responde ante la elevada SST

A ver como evoluciona el sistema y como responde ante la elevada SST 

Pues nada, que se ha hinchado y ha decidido pasar de Invest a Tormenta Tropical.
El NHC ha emitido un aviso especial a toda pastilla, visto lo visto y como no,  por el inefable STEWART, que este año está que se sale.

FORECASTER STEWART

Bonito aspecto el que presenta en estos momentos, con toda la convección tapando su centro. Según Dvorak:
CI# /Pressure/ Vmax
2.6 /1009.5mb/ 37.0kt

Pico de intensidad previsto por las agencias: 55 kts.

Bonito sistema

Fausto pasa a ser historia tropical.

Satellite imagery, overnight scatterometer data, and a recent GPM
microwave overpass indicate that Fausto has degenerated to a trough
of low pressure.  The remnants of the cyclone are expected to
continue a general west-northwestward motion for the next several
days through an area of increasing vertical wind shear and
mid-level dry air.  This combination is likely to prevent
regeneration.

This is the last advisory issued on Fausto by the National Hurricane
Center.
