Issued at 200 AM PDT Sat Aug 15 2020 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 150834 TCDEP5 Tropical Depression Ten-E Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102020 200 AM PDT Sat Aug 15 2020 Intermittent bursts of convection continue to develop near the depression's center, before northeasterly shear re-exposes the center of circulation. A recent ASCAT overpass shows that the initial intensity remains 30 kt for this advisory. None of the global or regional models make the cyclone a tropical storm, with the only guidance suggesting strengthening being the SHIPS at the end of the forecast period, when the vertical wind shear may finally abate. However,the atmospheric environment begins to dry out by that time. The official forecast no longer shows intensification, and keeps the cyclone a depression for the duration of the 5-day forecast. The depression continues to meander westward, now at 2 kt. A low- to mid-level ridge to the north of the system should continue to move the cyclone slowly westward this morning. The ridge is forecast to weaken, which should allow the depression to gain a little latitude later this weekend through early next week. Regardless of this motion, the system will not move very far over the next several days. The official forecast is very near the previous one, and is close to the consensus track guidance.
