Issued at 800 AM PDT Tue Aug 24 2021 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 241433 TCDEP3 Tropical Depression Marty Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132021 800 AM PDT Tue Aug 24 2021 There has been no significant deep convection within 100 nmi of Marty's center since about 0600 UTC. The cyclone's cloud pattern now consists of some mid-level clouds and mostly low-level cold-air stratocumulus clouds. The current intensity of 30 kt is based on a unanimous Dvorak satellite classification of T1.5/2.5 (25 kt/35 kt) from TAFB and SAB, which has resulted in Marty being downgraded to a tropical depression. Due to the cyclone's future track remaining over sub-26C sea-surface temperatures, coupled with additional entrainment of stable low clouds, Marty is now forecast to degenerate to a post-tropical remnant low later today. The new NHC intensity forecast closely follows the trends of the intensity consensus models IVCN and NOAA-HCCA. The initial motion remains westward, or 270/10 kt. The strong deep-layer ridge to the north of the weakening shallow cyclone is expected to keep Marty on a generally westward track over the next 36 hours or so, followed by a west-southwestward motion thereafter until the cyclone dissipates. The new official forecast track lies near the extreme southern edge of the model guidance envelope, owing to the models' slight poleward bias noted over the past 36 hours.
