TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHT-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 11
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP082015
200 AM PDT THU JUL 30 2015
The depression is devoid of deep convection, and is basically a
tight swirl of low clouds. The initial intensity has been lowered to
25 kt based on decreasing Dvorak numbers from both TAFB and SAB. The
depression is heading toward a hostile environment, and the official
forecast calls for dissipation in about 36 hours, but this could
occur later today.
The shallow depression is moving toward the west at 13 kt. The
depression is expected to continue on this general track steered
by the low-level trade winds until dissipation. The depression or
its remnants are forecast to cross into the Central Pacific
Hurricane Center's area of responsibility later today.
