ZCZC MIATCDEP4 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM TROPICAL STORM DOUGLAS DISCUSSION NUMBER 24 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP042014 800 AM PDT FRI JUL 04 2014 Douglas may well have weakened to a tropical depression since the time of an overnight ASCAT pass, given that deep convection associated with the storm has shrunk in size and become displaced well southeast of the center. However, we'll hold Douglas as a tropical storm a while longer pending a more definitive indication of weakening. With some northwesterly shear and a forecast track that takes Douglas over even cooler waters, the cyclone should degenerate into a remnant low soon. The NHC intensity forecast is the same as the previous one and shows remnant low status within 24 hours. The initial motion is 310/05. A building low- to mid-level ridge over the western United States should steer the storm northwestward and then west-northwestward at a slightly faster forward speed until dissipation in about 72 hours. This is in agreement with the latest model guidance and just a bit slower than the multi-model consensus.
