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.
