Post-Tropical Cyclone Ignacio Discussion Number  10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP102021
800 PM PDT Tue Aug 03 2021

Ignacio consists of a swirl of low-level clouds and has been devoid 
of deep convection anywhere near its center since this morning.  
Therefore the system no longer qualifies as a tropical cyclone and 
is now a remnant low, or a post-tropical cyclone.

The low has been moving east-southeastward, or about 120/6 kt.  A 
turn toward the southeast and south is expected on Wednesday while 
the system moves around the northern side of a low-level ridge.

Although the low will be moving over slightly warmer waters, strong 
easterly shear should prevent regeneration, and the system should 
dissipate in 24 h or so.

This is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center 
on Ignacio.  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
