ZCZC MIATCDEP5 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM TROPICAL STORM ELIDA DISCUSSION NUMBER 6 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP052014 200 PM PDT TUE JUL 01 2014 Strong northwesterly wind shear persists over Elida, and the cyclone has become a tight swirl of low clouds devoid of deep convection. Satellite intensity estimates continue to decrease, and on this basis, the initial intensity has been lowered to 35 knots. These winds are probably confined to a small area to the north and east of the center. Global models indicate that the shear will continue and, in fact, most of them weaken Elida to a low or a trough in a few days. The NHC forecast is along the line of such models. Elida continues to be trapped in very weak steering currents, and it has been drifting southeastward during the past several hours. The steering flow is forecast by global models to remain weak during the next day or two, and little motion is anticipated during that period. A ridge is forecast to develop over Mexico beyond 3 days, and this pattern should force Elida or its remnants to begin moving slowly westward away from Mexico. This is consistent with the multi-model consensus trend. The government of Mexico has discontinued the tropical storm warning, however, a few strong squalls could still affect the coast during the next 12 to 24 hours.
