  • The Contribution of Eastern North Pacific Tropical Cyclones to The
    AUGUST 2009 C O R B O S I E R O E T A L . 2415 The Contribution of Eastern North Pacific Tropical Cyclones to the Rainfall Climatology of the Southwest United States KRISTEN L. CORBOSIERO Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California MICHAEL J. DICKINSON Weather Predict Consulting, Inc., Narragansett, Rhode Island LANCE F. BOSART Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany, New York (Manuscript received 26 August 2008, in final form 6 March 2009) ABSTRACT Forty-six years of summer rainfall and tropical cyclone data are used to explore the role that eastern North Pacific tropical cyclones (TCs) play in the rainfall climatology of the summer monsoon over the southwestern United States. Thirty-five TCs and their remnants were found to bring significant rainfall to the region, representing less than 10% of the total number of TCs that formed within the basin. The month of September was the most common time for TC rainfall to occur in the monsoon region as midlatitude troughs become more likely to penetrate far enough south to interact with the TCs and steer them toward the north and east. On average, the contribution of TCs to the warm-season precipitation increased from east to west, accounting for less than 5% of the rainfall in New Mexico and increasing to more than 20% in southern California and northern Baja California, with individual storms accounting for as much as 95% of the summer rainfall. The distribution of rainfall for TC events over the southwest United States reveals three main categories: 1) a direct northward track from the eastern Pacific into southern California and Nevada, 2) a distinct swath northeastward from southwestern Arizona through northwestern New Mexico and into southwestern Col- orado, and 3) a broad area of precipitation over the southwest United States with embedded maxima tied to terrain features.

    192 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 139 The Influence of Eastern Pacific Tropical Cyclone Remnants on the Southwestern United States ELIZABETH A. RITCHIE AND KIMBERLY M. WOOD Department of Atmospheric Sciences, The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona DAVID S. GUTZLER Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico SARAH R. WHITE Department of Atmospheric Sciences, The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona (Manuscript received 17 February 2010, in final form 16 June 2010) ABSTRACT Forty-three eastern North Pacific tropical cyclone remnants with varying impact on the southwestern United States during the period 1992–2005 are investigated. Of these, 35 remnants (81%) brought precipitation to some part of the southwestern United States and the remaining 8 remnants (19%) had precipitation that was almost entirely restricted to Mexico, although cloud cover did advect over the southwestern United States in some of these cases. Although the tropical cyclone–strength winds rapidly diminish upon making landfall, these systems still carry a large quantity of tropical moisture and, upon interaction with mountainous topography, are found to drop up to 30% of the local annual precipitation. Based on common rainfall patterns and large-scale circulation features, the tropical cyclones are grouped into five categories. These include a northern recurving pattern that is more likely to bring rainfall to the southwestern United States; a southern recurving pattern that brings rainfall across northern Mexico and the Gulf Coast region; a largely north and/or northwestward movement pattern that brings rainfall to the west coast of the United States; a group that is blocked from the southwest by a ridge, which limits rainfall to Mexico; and a small group of cases that are not clearly any of the previous four types.

Minnesota has reported the coldest temperature in the 48 contiguous states four times so far this month, the coldest being -33 degrees F at Bigfork on the 3rd. In fact several places including Bemidji, International Falls, Bigfork, Babbit, and Cass Lake have recorded -30 degrees F or colder already this month. Temperatures are expected to continue colder than normal well into the third week of the month, with perhaps some moderation in temperature and a January thaw during the last ten days of the month. Topic: Overlooked feature of 2010 weather In my write-up and radio comments of last week about significant weather in 2010 several people mentioned that I overlooked the flash flood event in southern Minnesota over September 22-23, 2010 affecting at least 19 counties. One of the largest flash floods in history, this storm produced rainfall amounts greater than 10 inches in some places (11.06 inches near Winnebago) and near record flood crests on many Minnesota watersheds.

  • Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Hilary (EP092011) 21-30 September 2011
    Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Hilary (EP092011) 21-30 September 2011 John L. Beven II and Christopher W. Landsea National Hurricane Center 20 January 2012 Hilary twice reached category 4 status (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale) off of the west coast of Mexico. Although the cyclone passed close to Acapulco, its effects on land were minimal. a. Synoptic History Hilary developed from a tropical wave that emerged over the eastern North Atlantic Ocean on 7 September. The well-defined wave moved westward with very limited convection for the next three days. On 10 September, the system briefly exhibited some deep convection, however, no significant development occurred at that time. During 11-16 September, the convection-free wave continued moving westward across the Caribbean. On 17 September, the tropical wave reached the eastern North Pacific and began developing within a pre-existing monsoon trough. A broad low formed on the next day, and deep convection gradually increased allowing Dvorak satellite classifications to commence on 20 September. A tropical depression developed around 0600 UTC 21 September, about 310 n mi southeast of Acapulco, Mexico. The “best track” chart of the tropical cyclone’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressure histories shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are listed in Table 11. The cyclone initially moved slowly northwestward and then somewhat faster toward the west-northwest over the next couple of days, as its convective structure quickly became organized in an environment of very warm (29-30oC) sea surface temperatures, very low (5-10 kt) tropospheric vertical wind shear, and a moist (~70% relative humidity) mid-troposphere.
