000 WTPZ41 KNHC 171432 TCDEP1 TROPICAL STORM ENRIQUE DISCUSSION NUMBER 21 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP062015 800 AM PDT FRI JUL 17 2015 Enrique has changed little in organization over the past several hours as it continues to generate small bursts of convection north of the center. There is no recent scatterometer data from the central core, so the intensity is held at 35 kt based on continuity from the previous advisory. The cyclone should decay over sea surface temperatures of 25C, and it is expected to degenerate into a remnant low pressure area in 24 hours or so. It should be noted that while the forecast calls for the remnant low to dissipate after 96 hours, several dynamical models forecast it to last for more than 120 hours. The initial motion is now 270/3. The track guidance suggests that Enrique and its remnants should make a counter-clockwise loop during the next three days or so, followed by a northwestward motion. The new track forecast is similar to the previous forecast and is a blend of the GFS and ECMWF forecasts.
