TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIX-E DISCUSSION NUMBER   2

THE DEPRESSION CONSISTS OF A LARGE CIRCULATION DEFINED BY A FEW
CYCLONICALLY CURVED CONVECTIVE BANDS...BUT IT LACKS A CONVECTIVE
INNER CORE.  THE INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS 25 KNOTS IN ACCORD WITH
LATEST DVORAK ESTIMATES.  ALTHOUGH VERTICAL SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN LIGHT...THE DEPRESSION IS HEADING TOWARD SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES THAT ARE MARGINAL FOR STRENGTHENING.  THEREFORE...ONLY
GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION IS INDICATED...FOLLOWING THE TREND OF BOTH
THE SHIPS MODEL AND CLIMATOLOGY. 
 
THE DEPRESSION APPEARS TO BE MOVING WESTWARD OR 280 DEGREES AT 10
KNOTS.   SINCE THE DEPRESSION IS EMBEDDED WITHIN A WELL-ESTABLISHED
EASTERLY FLOW IN THE DEEP TROPICS...A GENERAL WEST TO
WEST-NORTHWEST TRACK IS EXPECTED.  THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
AVAILABLE GUIDANCE.
