ZCZC MIATCDEP3 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Depression Eight-E Discussion Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082018 200 PM PDT Thu Jul 26 2018 A recent ASCAT pass indicated that a very small 30-kt circulation has developed in association with the disturbance that the NHC has been tracking southwest of Baja California Sur during the past several days. On this basis, advisories are initiated on Tropical Depression Eight. However, the satellite presentation is not very well organized at this time, and Dvorak T-numbers are still low. Given the current environment of low shear and warm ocean, gradual strengthening is anticipated. However, global models indicate that the shear will markedly increase beyond 48 hours, and this wind pattern should result in weakening. The NHC forecast is a blend of HCCA and the simple intensity consensus. The depression is moving toward the west or west-northwest at 14 kt around the periphery of the strong subtropical ridge. Since the ridge is forecast to persist, no significant change in the steering flow is anticipated. The cyclone should then continue on the same track for the next several days, although by the end of the forecast period, the cyclone is forecast to become a westward moving remnant low. The NHC forecast is very close to the multi-model consensus.
