000 WTPZ41 KNHC 122040 TCDEP1 TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIXTEEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 6 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP162014 200 PM PDT FRI SEP 12 2014 The depression is not well organized with limited deep convection and little, if any, convective banding to be seen. Earlier SSMI, SSMIS, and a more recent ASCAT overpass showed that the low-level center was displaced to the east-northeast of a small cluster of showers. The current intensity is kept at 30 kt based on the scatterometer data. The ASCAT overpass, however, also showed that the low-level circulation was becoming elongated from southwest to northeast. The unfavorable low-level influence of the much larger circulation of Tropical Storm Odile, located about 800 n mi to the east, is expected to become increasingly disruptive to the depression. The system is now forecast to degenerate into a remnant low sooner than shown in earlier advisories. Based on the microwave observations and visible satellite imagery, the cyclone has been moving slowly east-northeastward or 070/3. The depression or post-tropical cyclone should soon become entrained into the circulation of Odile and turn eastward to east-southeastward over the next day or so. The official track forecast is between the latest ECMWF and GFS solutions.
