000 WTPZ42 KNHC 082032 TCDEP2 TROPICAL DEPRESSION BLANCA DISCUSSION NUMBER 33 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP022015 300 PM MDT MON JUN 08 2015 Blanca's cloud pattern continues to lose organization, and deep convection is diminishing. Assuming a continued spin down of the circulation during the day, the current intensity is set at 30 kt. This is also consistent with the Dvorak intensity estimate from UW-CIMSS. Continued weakening should occur due to shear and interaction with the Baja California peninsula, and Blanca is expected to become a remnant low in about 12 hours. The official intensity forecast is near the high end of the guidance. The initial motion is a little faster, or 340/15 kt. Over the next day or so, Blanca or its remnants should move north-northwestward to northward in the flow between a high to its east and a low to its west. The official track forecast is similar to the dynamical model consensus. Moisture associated with Blanca and its remnants is expected to affect portions of the southwestern United States today and Tuesday.
