ZCZC MIATCDAT5 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Depression Five Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052020 500 PM AST Sun Jul 05 2020 The depression’s cloud pattern has become less organized today, with increasing separation between the remaining convective activity and the low-level center. The circulation also appears to be less defined, but the various ASCAT instruments missed the center late this morning and were not helpful in determining if a well-defined center still exits. Data from the ASCAT-C instrument revealed some 25-30 kt wind vectors over the southeastern portion of the system, so the initial intensity remains 30 kt. The depression is moving northeastward or 055/23 kt. The system should continue to accelerate northeastward or east-northeastward during the next day or so. Given the expected acceleration and current structure, it would not be surprising if the system degenerated into a trough of low pressure later today or tonight. The depression or its remnants, however, are forecast to transition into an extratropical cyclone on Monday. Little change in strength is forecast although it is possible that the system will produce tropical-storm-force winds by the time it becomes extratropical on Monday as it accelerates and gains some baroclinic support. Only slight adjustments were made to the previous NHC track and intensity forecast, and the new official forecast is near the middle of the dynamical model envelope.
