Issued at 900 PM CST Sun Nov 17 2019 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 180235 TCDEP1 Tropical Depression Twenty-One-E Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP212019 900 PM CST Sun Nov 17 2019 The depression is barely hanging on as a tropical cyclone. Satellite images indicate that the depression still has a closed circulation and patches of deep convection mainly on its north side. The initial intensity remains 25 kt for this advisory based on T1.5/25 kt Dvorak classifications from TAFB and SAB. The GFS and ECMWF models suggest that the depression could continue to produce a modest amount of deep convection on Monday before it moves into an environment of increasing southwesterly wind shear. The NHC forecast shows the cyclone becoming a remnant low by 24 hours, but it could reach this status sooner given how weak the system is. All of the global models shows the cyclone degenerating into a trough by day 3, and the NHC forecast follows that scenario. The center of the depression appears to have reformed a little to the north of what we have been tracking. A long-term motion of the system is 300/9 kt. A low- to mid-level ridge situated to the northeast of the depression should steer it west-northwestward at a slower pace until it dissipates in a few days. The NHC track forecast has been adjusted to the north of the previous one mostly due to the initial position being farther north than expected.
