TROPICAL DEPRESSION ENRIQUE DISCUSSION NUMBER  15
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP072009
200 AM PDT FRI AUG 07 2009
 
ENRIQUE HAS BEEN A RESILIENT CYCLONE. DESPITE THE HOSTILE
ENVIRONMENT...IT STILL HAS A TIGHT CIRCULATION WITH SMALL AREA OF
THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE CENTER. EARLIER QUIKSCAT DATA SUPPORT
30-KNOT WINDS BUT...GIVEN THE CURRENT ORGANIZATION AND THE FACT THAT
ENRIQUE IS MOVING OVER COOL WATERS...WEAKENING IS INDICATED. 
ENRIQUE IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A REMNANT LOW LATER TODAY.

THE CIRCULATION IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST OR 315 DEGREES AT 12
KNOTS...EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW. THIS GENERAL MOTION WITH
A TURN MORE TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED UNTIL DISSIPATION IN
ABOUT A DAY OR SO.
