000 WTPZ41 KNHC 140835 TCDEP1 TROPICAL STORM ENRIQUE DISCUSSION NUMBER 8 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP062015 200 AM PDT TUE JUL 14 2015 Deep convection associated with Enrique has increased in coverage overnight, however, the overall organization of the system has not changed appreciably. A recent ASCAT overpass was very helpful in locating the center, and indicated that the maximum winds remain near 35 kt. Little change in intensity is forecast during the next day or so. After that time, Enrique is expected to weaken while it moves into an area of increasing southerly wind shear and over cooler waters. The cyclone is forecast to become a remnant low in about 72 hours. The initial motion estimate is 300/8 kt. Enrique is expected to continue on a west-northwestward heading during the next couple of days to the south of a narrow mid-level ridge. In about 3 days, the cyclone is forecast to decelerate as the low-level steering flow weakens over the far eastern Pacific due to the approach of Dolores' large circulation. The updated NHC track forecast is similar to the previous advisory, but shows the remnant low becoming nearly stationary a bit east of the previous 4- and 5-day positions.
