Tropical Storm Douglas is moving aimlessly across the Pacific Ocean. As of the 0300Z NHC advisory, the following information was posted on Douglas:
Wind: 40 mph, with higher gusts
Location: 16.4°N 113.0°W
Movement: WNW at 16 mph
Pressure: 1003 mb
Latest satellite data shows an increase in central convection, although scatterometer and satellite data indicate that the radius of maximum winds is still probably about 75 miles, localized within the vigorous convective band orbiting cyclonically around the south side of the center. Interestingly, the prominent rainband that was emanating north from the center earlier has essentially dissipated, which could herald the formative stages of an inner core as the outer circulation becomes less competitive, but we shall see. The 6z satellite estimates certainly haven’t convinced me that Douglas is strengthening, and the large size will likely continue to be its own worst enemy.
