Tropical Depression One-E Forecast Discussion Number 2

Issued at 800 PM PDT Thu May 10 2018 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 110235 TCDEP1 Tropical Depression One-E Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP012018 800 PM PDT Thu May 10 2018 Tropical Depression One-E continues to maintain a cluster of strong convection to the northeast of the center even though it is encountering 25-40 kt of west-southwesterly vertical wind shear. Various subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates range from 25-35 kt, so the initial intensity remains 30 kt. The continued convection is possibly being aided by a weak upper-level trough just west of the depression. The dynamical models forecast this trough to move east of the depression in 24 h or less, exposing the cyclone to even stronger shear. Based on this, the intensity forecast follows the trend of the previous forecast in calling for the system to degenerate into a remnant low pressure area in less than 24 h. One small change from the previous forecast is to keep the system an extra 12 h as a remnant low in agreement with the dynamical model guidance. The initial motion is 295/8. Through its lifetime, the cyclone should move generally west-northwestward to northwestward around the western end of a weak subtropical ridge with a gradual decrease in forward speed. The new forecast track is similar to the previous track and lies a little to the east of the consensus models.
