TROPICAL DEPRESSION TEN DISCUSSION NUMBER   3
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT THU SEP 09 2004
 
THE DEPRESSION CONTINUES AS A LOW-CLOUD SWIRL...INCREASINGLY REMOVED
FROM THE DEEP CONVECTION NOW OVER 200 NM AWAY AND SPREADING OVER
THE AZORES. SINCE THE LOW LACKS THE CONVECTION REQUIRED OF A
TROPICAL CYCLONE...ADVISORIES ARE BEING DISCONTINUED AT THIS TIME.
SHIP REPORTS SUGGEST THAT MAXIMUM WINDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE
SWIRL ARE NO MORE THAN 25 KT...ALTHOUGH SLIGHTLY STRONGER WINDS MAY
EXIST IN THE NORTHERLY FLOW A FEW HUNDRED MILES TO THE WEST OF THE
CENTER. THE WEAK REMNANT LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION SHOULD GRADUALLY
SPIN DOWN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS OVER SUB 26C WATER.
 
OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS THE LOW CENTER HAS TURNED TO THE
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST...A MOTION THAT WAS EXPECTED BUT NOT SO SOON. OF
THE PRIMARY GUIDANCE MODELS...ONLY THE GFDL SEEMS TO HAVE A HANDLE
ON THE SOUTHWARD COMPONENT OF MOTION...AND THE OFFICIAL FORECAST
FOLLOWS THE GFDL GUIDANCE.  THE GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO TAKE THE
SYSTEM NORTHEASTWARD TO THE AZORES...BUT THEY APPARENTLY HAVEN'T
NOTICED THAT THE SYSTEM HAS ALREADY SHEARED OFF.

FUTURE INFORMATION ON THIS SYSTEM CAN BE FOUND IN HIGH SEAS
FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER AWIPS
HEADER NFDHSFAT1 AND WMO HEADER FZNT01 KWBC...OR IN HIGH SEAS
FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM MET OFFICE UNDER WMO HEADER
FQNT21 EGRR.
