Post-Tropical Cyclone Gil Discussion Number   7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP082019
800 PM PDT Sun Aug 04 2019

Gil has lacked significant organized deep convection for more than
12 hours. Therefore, the depression has been downgraded to a
post-tropical remnant low. Although the system may still produce
some sporadic, nonpersistent convection into early Monday, dry
and stable air along with strong northwesterly shear will likely
prevent any appreciable convection from developing over the next
couple of days. This should cause the remnant low to weaken and then
open into a trough within the next 24-36 hours.

The initial motion estimate is 270/10 kt. The remnant low is
expected to move westward tonight then west-southwestward on Monday,
steered by the low-level environmental flow. This
west-southwestward motion should continue until the low dissipates.

This is the last advisory on this system. For additional information
on the remnant low please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the
National Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI, WMO header
FZPN02 KWBC, and on the web at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFEPI.php
