ZCZC MIATCDEP2 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Storm Aletta Discussion Number 23 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022018 200 AM PDT Mon Jun 11 2018 Deep convection associated with Aletta has waned overnight, and as a result, objective and subjective Dvorak T-numbers have decreased. A recent ASCAT overpass that was very helpful in locating the center of Aletta indicated that the cyclone's winds have decreased to around 35 kt. The tropical storm is forecast to weaken while it moves over decreasing sea surface temperatures and into a more stable air mass during the next day or so. Aletta is expected to degenerate into a remnant low in about 24 hours, but this could occur sooner if organized deep convection does not redevelop soon. Recent satellite fixes indicate that the tropical storm is moving west-northwestward at about 5 kt. The cyclone should turn westward today, then west-southwestward by Tuesday as it is steered by the low-level tradewind flow. The low-level flow is expected to become quite light as Hurricane Bud moves northwestward off the coast of southwestern Mexico. This should cause Aletta's remnants to become nearly stationary by mid-week. The track guidance is in fairly good agreement through 48 hours, but diverges considerably after that time due to the lack of well-defined steering currents. The NHC forecast has been shifted slightly eastward at 48 h and beyond to be closer to the various consensus tracks.
