NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Fri Aug 1 2025

For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Gil, located well west-southwest of the southern Baja California
peninsula. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center has issued its final
advisory on Tropical Depression Iona, which is now located west of
the International Date Line, well west-southwest of the Hawaiian
Islands. Future advisories will be issued by RSMC Tokyo, Japan. For
U.S. interests, refer to Department of Defense warnings issued by
the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Western East Pacific:
An area of low pressure is expected to form well southwest of
southwestern Mexico within the next day or two. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this
system, and a tropical depression is likely to form late this
weekend or early next week as the system moves west-northwestward at
10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

South of Southern Mexico:
An area of low pressure is forecast to form offshore of the coast of
Central America and southern Mexico by the middle part of next week.
Thereafter, environmental conditions appear conducive for some
development, and a tropical depression could form late next week as
the system moves generally west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Gil was located
near latitude 16.5 North, longitude 125.1 West.  Gil is moving 
toward quickly the west-northwest near 20 mph (31 km/h), and this 
motion is expected to continue through the weekend.  A slower 
motion toward the west is forecast by Monday.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Some additional strengthening is possible 
overnight.  Weakening is forecast to begin on Saturday, and Gil is 
likely to become post-tropical as early as Sunday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles
(205 km).

Hurricane Gil Discussion Number   8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP072025
500 PM HST Fri Aug 01 2025
 
Gil appears to have rid itself of the intrusion of dry air it had 
been dealing with earlier in the day.  The center is now embedded 
within a Central Dense Overcast, and as a result, subjective 
satellite estimates are a consensus T4.0/65 kt from TAFB and SAB.  
Several objective estimates from UW-CIMSS are at that level or 
higher, so Gil is therefore upgraded to a 65-kt hurricane.

Gil is moving faster toward the west-northwest, now 295/17 kt.  
Strong mid-level ridging is expected to persist to the north of the 
hurricane, which should cause Gil to continue moving quickly toward 
the west-northwest through much of the weekend.  A slower forward 
motion with a turn toward the west is forecast by Monday as the 
weakening cyclone is steered by lower-level flow.  The new NHC 
track forecast is just a touch south of the previous prediction, 
leaning toward the HCCA and AI models.

Gil only has a small window for continued strengthening since 
cooler sea surface temperatures lie ahead.  The NHC intensity 
forecast allows for a bit more strengthening through 12 hours, but 
then fast weakening is expected thereafter due to the cold waters.  
In fact, model-simulated satellite images indicate Gil will likely 
lose its deep convection in about 48 hours, and the NHC forecast 
shows it becoming post-tropical at that time.  Because of Gil's 
fast motion, the decrease in its winds are likely to lag the loss 
of convection, and the 45-kt forecast intensity at 48 hours is 
higher than is typical for when an eastern Pacific tropical cyclone 
becomes post-tropical.  Gil is expected to open up into a trough by 
day 5, which is supported by most of the global model guidance.
