000 WTPZ42 KNHC 232034 TCDEP2 POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE KAY DISCUSSION NUMBER 21 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP122016 200 PM PDT TUE AUG 23 2016 Kay has been devoid of deep convection for about 12 hours. Since the system is over waters of around 24 deg C and forecast to soon move over even cooler waters, deep convection is not expected to return. On this basis, Kay is being declared a post-tropical cyclone on this advisory. Dissipation is forecast by the global models just after 24 hours. The post-tropical cyclone is moving a little faster toward the northwest or 310/11. A turn toward the west-northwest or west is likely before the low dissipates tomorrow. This is the last advisory from the National Hurricane Center on this system.
