ZCZC MIATCDEP1 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM TROPICAL STORM JAVIER DISCUSSION NUMBER 3 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP112016 300 PM MDT SUN AUG 07 2016 Javier has not become better organized during the day, and the associated deep convection is ragged-looking and not very extensive. Based on the earlier surface wind report from Manzanillo, the current intensity is held at 40 kt. The storm is experiencing some easterly shear, but gradual intensification while Javier passes over the warm waters to the south of the Baja California peninsula seems likely. The official intensity forecast again follows the SHIPS model guidance. The cyclone accelerated somewhat today, and the initial motion estimate is 300/12 kt. Javier is moving along the southwestern periphery of a mid-level anticyclone centered near Texas. In the next couple of days, the system should gradually turn toward the right as a trough near California weakens the ridge. The GFS and ECMWF global models have shifted to the left of their previous forecasts, so the official forecast is also shifted in that direction. The official forecast track lies between the GFS/ECMWF solutions and the latest HWRF model run.
