TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALETTA DISCUSSION NUMBER  15
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP012006
200 PM PDT TUE MAY 30 2006
 
VISIBLE IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON REVEALS THAT THE CIRCULATION OF ALETTA
HAS BECOME DIFFUSE AND ILL-DEFINED. CONSEQUENTLY...THE SYSTEM IS NO
LONGER A TROPICAL CYCLONE AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY. THE
CONVECTION THAT WAS PRESENT EARLIER HAS LARGELY EVAPORATED. VERTICAL
SHEAR IS STRONG OVER THE SYSTEM AND EXPECTED TO GET STRONGER. GIVEN
THIS AND THE DRY ENVIRONMENT...REGENERATION IS UNLIKELY. THE
REMNANTS OF ALETTA ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE GENERALLY WESTWARD TO THE
SOUTH OF A MID- TO LOWER-LEVEL RIDGE.
