Issued at 200 PM CVT Sat Aug 01 2020 000 WTNT45 KNHC 011432 TCDAT5 Tropical Depression Ten Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL102020 200 PM CVT Sat Aug 01 2020 The center of the depression is mostly exposed this morning with deep convection remaining only over the northwest portion of the circulation. A recent ASCAT overpass showed a small area of winds of 20 to 25 kt in the northern semicircle. Based on this data, the initial intensity has been lowered to 25 kt. The persistent convection has likely bought a little more time for the depression to survive. However, the cyclone is forecast to remain over SSTs of about 24 to 25 C for the next day or so. This should cause the convection to gradually decrease, causing the depression to become a remnant low by tonight. An alternative scenario is that the low could open into a trough before the convection dissipates. The depression is moving northwest at around 12 kt. A turn to the west-northwest is expected later today as the cyclone pivots around a large mid-level gyre to its southwest. This west-northwest motion should continue until the system dissipates.
