Issued at 900 AM MDT Wed Jun 30 2021 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 301439 TCDEP5 Tropical Depression Enrique Discussion Number 22 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052021 900 AM MDT Wed Jun 30 2021 After a brief burst of convection near its center overnight, the satellite presentation of Enrique has degraded this morning. Infrared cloud top temperatures have rapidly warmed near the estimated center position, and the only active convection at this time is occurring over the Baja California Peninsula. Overnight satellite-derived wind data supported winds of 25 to 30 kt in the northeast quadrant of the cyclone, and satellite trends suggest Enrique has weakened since then. Additionally, TAFB gave the system a T2.0 subjective Dvorak classification. Therefore, the initial intensity is lowered to 30 kt this morning, which downgrades Enrique to a tropical depression. Enrique is currently moving northwestward, although it is expected to turn slightly more west-northwestward later today between a weak ridge to its northeast and a low- to mid-level low pressure system well offshore. The track guidance remains in good agreement, and the official NHC forecast lies close to the multi-model consensus. Increasing vertical wind shear and drier mid-level air in the surrounding environment, as well as increasing land interaction, should support continued weakening during the next day or so. As expected, simulated satellite imagery from the GFS and ECMWF do not indicate much potential for additional convective development before the system moves inland tonight. Therefore, Enrique is forecast to become a remnant low over Baja California Sur by Thursday and dissipate shortly thereafter. Key Messages: 1. Heavy rains associated with Enrique are possible across southern portions of Baja California Sur. This will pose a threat of flash flooding and mudslides. 2. Swells generated by Enrique will affect portions of the western coast of Mexico and the coast of Baja California Sur during the next day or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
