TROPICAL DEPRESSION BORIS DISCUSSION NUMBER  29
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP022008
800 PM PDT THU JUL 03 2008

BORIS REMAINS A SWIRL OF LOW/MID-LEVEL CLOUDS WITH NO ASSOCIATED
CONVECTION.  BASED MAINLY ON CONTINUED WEAKENING FROM THE PREVIOUS
ADVISORY...IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE CYCLONE HAS WEAKENED TO A 30 KT
TROPICAL DEPRESSION.  SINCE BORIS IS OVER COOL SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES AND IN A STABLE ENVIRONMENT....IT IS EXPECTED TO
WEAKEN INTO A REMNANT LOW IN 12 HR OR SO...WITH THE LOW FORECAST TO
DISSIPATE IN 72-96 HR.

THE INITIAL MOTION IS 255/6 ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF A LOW-LEVEL RIDGE. 
TRACK GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THIS MOTION SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL
DISSIPATION.
