TROPICAL DEPRESSION TINA DISCUSSION NUMBER   4
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       EP212016
200 PM MST MON NOV 14 2016

Tina is barely holding on to tropical cyclone status due to a curved
band of deep convection that has redeveloped in the northeastern
quadrant.  However, the convection is gradually becoming fragmented
and the exposed low-level circulation continues to separate from the
convection due to Tina moving westward motion beneath southwesterly
upper-level winds of at least 40 kt. A drier and more stable air
mass, along with the aforementioned strong vertical wind shear
conditions, should result in Tina degenerating into a remnant low
pressure system during the next 12 hours and dissipating on
Wednesday.

Light easterly wind flow on the south side of low-/mid-level ridge
located to the north of Tina is expected to keep the shallow cyclone
moving slowly westward for the next 36-48 hours until dissipation
occurs. The NHC track forecast is just an update of the previous
advisory track and lies close to the consensus model TVCN.
