DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Nicholas was located by Doppler radars, satellites, and surface observations near latitude 29.9 North, longitude 94.4 West. Nicholas is moving toward the east-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h) and this general motion should continue through tonight. An eastward turn is expected over Louisiana on Wednesday. Little motion is anticipated on Thursday. NOAA Doppler weather radar and surface observations indicate that maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Continued gradual weakening is expected during the next couple of days, and Nicholas is forecast to degenerate into a remnant low on Wednesday or by early Thursday. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches) based on nearby surface observations.
