TROPICAL DEPRESSION BONNIE DISCUSSION NUMBER  28
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       AL022016
1100 AM EDT FRI JUN 03 2016

Convection associated with Bonnie has decreased this morning as the
center moves over sea surface temperatures of less than 25C east
of the Gulf Stream.  The initial intensity remains 30 kt based on
satellite intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB.  While little
change in the wind speed is forecast during the next 48 hours,
Bonnie should degenerate into a remnant low in 24 hours or less due
to the affects of the cold water and increasing vertical wind
shear. The system is then expected to weaken to a trough by 72
hours.

The initial motion is now 080/10.  The cyclone should move
generally eastward along the southern edge of the westerlies with
some increase in forward speed until dissipation.  The new forecast
track lies near the multi-model consensus.
