TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHT DISCUSSION NUMBER   2
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       AL082013
400 PM CDT FRI SEP 06 2013
 
THE CENTER OF THE DEPRESSION MADE LANDFALL IN THE TAMPICO MEXICO
AREA AROUND 1800 UTC.  WHILE THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS OF
SIGNIFICANT WINDS FROM THE MEXICAN COASTAL STATIONS...TAMPICO
REPORTED A PRESSURE OF NEAR 1009 MB AS THE CENTER PASSED OVER.  THE
INITIAL INTENSITY IS HELD AT 30 KT SINCE A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE
CIRCULATION IS STILL OVER WATER.  NOW THAT THE CENTER IS INLAND...
THE CYCLONE SHOULD STEADILY WEAKEN DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO UNTIL
IT DISSIPATES COMPLETELY IN 24-36 HOURS.
 
THE INITIAL MOTION REMAINS A SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN 250/5.  A
LOW/MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE NORTH OF THE DEPRESSION SHOULD STEER IT
GENERALLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNTIL DISSIPATION.
 
THE MAIN THREAT FROM THE DEPRESSION IS HEAVY RAINS OVER THE MEXICAN
STATES OF VERACRUZ AND TAMAULIPAS...ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES.
