ZCZC MIATCDEP3 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Depression Paul Discussion Number 11 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP182018 800 PM PDT Mon Sep 10 2018 Paul remains a sheared tropical cyclone with the associated deep convection limited to the western portion of the circulation. The center of the system is completely exposed and the Dvorak classifications have decreased from all agencies. Based on that data, Paul is now downgraded to a tropical depression with an initial intensity of 30 kt. Although the wind shear is expected to lessen during the next couple of days, Paul will soon cross the 26 deg C isotherm and it will be headed for even cooler waters and a drier airmass during the next few days. These conditions support continued weakening, and Paul will likely become a remnant low in a couple of days or less. The depression has turned toward the west-northwest, with the initial motion estimated to be 300/8 kt. A gradual turn toward the west is expected during the next few days as the cyclone becomes increasingly shallow and is steered by the low-level flow. The new NHC track forecast is adjusted a little to the south of the previous one to come into better agreement with the latest consensus models.
