Issued at 900 PM MDT Sun Sep 06 2020 595 WTPZ45 KNHC 070241 TCDEP5 Tropical Depression Julio Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP152020 900 PM MDT Sun Sep 06 2020 Julio is losing organization. A small area of deep convection remains near the assumed center, which is best identified by SSMIS microwave data a few hours ago. However, Socorro Island, located about 30 miles south of the center, never showed any westerly winds. While it is possible the system has already opened up into a trough, advisories are being continued on the assumption that the island missed the small system's circulation. The initial wind speed is set to 30 kt due to the decay in overall satellite presentation. The depression is moving westward at a slower speed than before, roughly 11 kt. This motion is expected tomorrow at a slower speed as a ridge breaks down to the north of the cyclone. Afterwards, since the tropical cyclone is so small, a larger surface low to the southwest of the system seems likely to weaken Julio and then absorb the tropical cyclone in a couple of days. Thus the track forecast is adjusted south of the previous one, and the new intensity forecast is reduced as well. A plausible alternative scenario is that overnight scatterometer data will show that the system has already degenerated into a surface trough.
