TROPICAL STORM ENRIQUE DISCUSSION NUMBER 8
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP062015
200 AM PDT TUE JUL 14 2015
Deep convection associated with Enrique has increased in coverage
overnight, however, the overall organization of the system has not
changed appreciably. A recent ASCAT overpass was very helpful in
locating the center, and indicated that the maximum winds remain
near 35 kt. Little change in intensity is forecast during the next
day or so. After that time, Enrique is expected to weaken while it
moves into an area of increasing southerly wind shear and over
cooler waters. The cyclone is forecast to become a remnant low in
about 72 hours.
The initial motion estimate is 300/8 kt. Enrique is expected to
continue on a west-northwestward heading during the next couple of
days to the south of a narrow mid-level ridge. In about 3 days, the
cyclone is forecast to decelerate as the low-level steering flow
weakens over the far eastern Pacific due to the approach of Dolores'
large circulation. The updated NHC track forecast is similar to
the previous advisory, but shows the remnant low becoming nearly
stationary a bit east of the previous 4- and 5-day positions.
