Tropical Depression SIX-E (Text)

ZCZC MIATCDEP1 ALL
TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM
TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIX-E DISCUSSION NUMBER   4
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
8 PM PDT THU JUL 29 2004
 
THE APPEARANCE OF THIS SYSTEM ON SATELLITE IMAGERY IS THAT OF AN
OPEN TROUGH OR SHEAR AXIS WITH A WELL-DEFINED VORTICITY MAXIMUM AT
ITS APEX.  THERE IS NO EVIDENCE IN THE IMAGERY THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS
A WELL-DEFINED CENTER OF CIRCULATION.  IT IS ALSO ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
TO CLOSE OFF A CENTER IN THE QUIKSCAT AMBIGUITIES FROM THIS
MORNING.  CONSEQUENTLY IT APPEARS THAT THE DEPRESSION HAS
DISSIPATED AND ADVISORIES ARE BEING DISCONTINUED AT THIS TIME.

WITH LOW-TO MID-TROPOSPHERIC RIDGING TO THE NORTH OF THE SYSTEM...A
GENERALLY WESTWARD MOTION OF THE DEPRESSION'S REMNANTS IS LIKELY
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.  THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO
GENERATE SOME DEEP CONVECTION AND REGENERATION IS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION.  

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE REMNANTS OF THE DEPRESSION PLEASE
SEE HIGH SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...
UNDER AWIPS HEADER NFDHSFEPI AND WMO HEADER FZPN02 KWBC.
