The initial intensity is held at 35 kt based on the earlier ASCAT data and the latest Dvorak CI estimate from TAFB based on weakening rules. The cyclone should gradually spin down over the next couple of days as it moves over cool waters and dissipate in 48 to 72 hours. Estelle is moving toward the west-northwest at 14 kt, and this motion should continue until dissipation as the cyclone is steered by the subtropical ridge centered well to its northeast.
