Issued at 300 PM MDT WED SEP 02 2015 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 022031 TCDEP4 TROPICAL DEPRESSION FOURTEEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 9 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP142015 300 PM MDT WED SEP 02 2015 Visible satellite imagery shows that the system remains a sheared depression with the center of circulation partially exposed to the south of the cloud mass containing the coldest cloud tops. Convective banding is also a bit fragmented and thin to the east of the cyclone's surface center. Subsequently, the initial intensity remains at 30 kt and is based on a blend of Dvorak CI numbers from TAFB and SAB. Guidance still indicates that the depression could become a tropical storm within the next 12-24 hours. Afterward, the cyclone is forecast to spin down to a remnant low by day 3 as it moves over cooler waters and into a drier and more stable environment. The NHC intensity forecast is again a compromise of the IVCN and FSSE forecasts. The initial motion is estimated to be 360/7 kt. The depression is forecast to move between a mid-tropospheric high pressure system over northern Mexico and a mid- to upper-level trough west of the Baja California peninsula during the next 3 days. As the tropical cyclone degenerates into a remnant low, and the steering flow collapses, the shallow swirl of low clouds should either drift in a generally north-northwestward direction or meander until dissipation. The NHC forecast is close to the previous advisory and is hedged toward the multi-model consensus and the GFEX (GFS/ECMWF blend) model.
