661 WTPZ43 KNHC 120232 TCDEP3 Tropical Depression Paul Discussion Number 15 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP182018 800 PM PDT Tue Sep 11 2018 Active deep convection associated with Paul appears to have ceased a little earlier today, shortly after 1900 UTC. At least one more advisory will be issued just in case Paul makes an unexpected comeback, but this seems unlikely due to the 24 deg C SSTs beneath the cyclone. With no convection to sustain it, Paul will likely gradually spin down over the next few days until dissipating entirely by the weekend. Paul is now moving west with an initial motion of 275/10 kt. Now that Paul's circulation has become very shallow, it should continue to be steered generally westward to west-southwestward by the low-level tradewind flow until dissipation occurs in a few days.
