Tropical Depression Paine Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP172022
900 AM MDT Wed Oct 05 2022
Organized deep convection has been absent from Paine for the past
12 hours, but a couple of small bursts of convection have pulsed
over the past few hours. Therefore, it is prudent to wait to see
if that convection increases through this morning's diurnal maximum
before declaring the system post-tropical. Given the expected
increase in westerly shear and dry mid-level environment it is
unlikely the convection will persist or gain any organization. The
initial intensity has been lowered to 30 kt, in agreement with the
latest TAFB Dvorak classification. Continued weakening is
expected due to the aforementioned unfavorable conditions and Paine
should become a remnant low this afternoon, and the circulation is
foreast to become an open trough within 48 hours.
Paine is moving northwestward or 305/4 kt. The cyclone's motion
should bend toward the west-northwest and west over the next 24 to
36 hours as it becomes increasingly shallow and is steered by the
low-level flow. No significant changes were required to the
previous track forecast.
