Tropical Depression Mario Discussion Number  20
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP142019
300 AM MDT Sun Sep 22 2019

Mario continues to be a fully exposed swirl of low clouds devoid of
convection, and is close to becoming a remnant low.  The initial
intensity is reduced to 30 kt based on ASCAT data.  With no models
showing any significant re-development of deep convection, slow
weakening is forecast, and the cyclone should decay into a remnant
low later today.  The new intensity forecast is basically an update
of the previous one, adjusted for lower initial winds.

Mario is now moving a little faster with an initial motion of 335/8
kt.  The track guidance is in good agreement on a north-
northwestward at a slower pace through 48 hours.  The new forecast
track is very close to the previous one and the latest consensus
aids.
