The cloud pattern continues to be elongated and the convection is
not very well organized at this time. Since the Dvorak T-numbers
have not changed, the initial intensity is kept at 30 kt.  The
depression has the opportunity to strengthen a little bit during
the next day or two, before stronger southerly upper-level winds
ahead of a trough impact the cyclone. The NHC intensity forecast is
close to the consensus and similar to the previous one.

The initial motion is toward the north-northwest or 330 degrees at 7
kt.  The depression is forecast to be steered toward the
north-northwest and northward by the flow around a sharp trough
located to the west of the cyclone, and eventually recurves toward
the north-northeast by day 3. After that time, the cyclone is
expected to be weaker and become steered by the low-level flow.
Little motion is then anticipated. This is the solution provided by
most of the dynamical guidance. The NHC forecast follows very
closely the consensus of the GFS and the ECMWF global models.
