At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Wilfred
was located near latitude 15.9 North, longitude 45.8 West. The
depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 20 mph (31 
km/h). Wilfred should slow its forward speed while heading toward
the west or west-northwestward for the next couple days until
dissipation.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Wilfred should weaken to a remnant low within a day or two, but

time.
