Tropical Depression Adrian Discussion Number   7

The cloud pattern has deteriorated significantly, and it now
consists of a broad swirl of low clouds. Most of the convection is
well removed to the north and is already over the coast of Mexico. I
was tempted to declare the system dissipated at this time and issue
the last advisory. However, it is prudent to confirm the rapid
weakening with early visible images, and also to be sure that
convection does not redevelop near the center.

The GFS insists on intensification, but the ECMWF dissipates the
system quickly. A compromise between these two models is to keep a
weak and shallow remnant low drifting west-northwestward and then
westward within the low-level flow for the next several days.
