ZCZC MIATCDAT4 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 9 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL092015 1100 AM AST FRI SEP 18 2015 After the burst of convection overnight, shear and dry air appear to be getting the best of the depression, with no deep convection remaining near the low-level center. If deep convection does not return, the depression could be declared a remnant low by tonight. Weakening is forecast as the depression and its remnant low gradually spin down and dissipate in 3 to 4 days. Visible imagery shows the low-level center has been moving toward the west-northwest with an initial motion estimate of 295/7. The initial position and motion have resulted in a leftward shift of the NHC track forecast this cycle of about a degree. The NHC forecast shows the shallow cyclone moving generally west-northwestward through dissipation as it is steered by the low-level ridge to the north. The official forecast continues to favor the weaker models, such as the GFS and the GEFS ensemble mean, on the left side of the guidance envelope.
