Tropical Depression Amanda Discussion Number  20
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP012026
500 AM HST Sun Jun 07 2026
 
Although Amanda's circulation once again became exposed to the 
east of the sheared cloud pattern overnight, deep convection has 
redeveloped over the surface center.  Recent METOP-A/B scatterometer
overpasses indicated just a few 30 kt winds in the northwest 
quadrant, and the surface circulation has become a little less 
defined.  The initial intensity is held at 30 kt for this advisory 
and agrees with TAFB's Dvorak satellite intensity estimate.
 
Amanda is moving southwestward at 4 kt in the low-level flow 
through an increasingly dry/stable and sheared surrounding 
environment.  A turn toward the west-southwest is expected later 
today and Amanda should continue in this general motion through the 
period.  Although oceanic surface temperatures along Amanda's path 
are warm (27-28C), further weakening is expected due to the 
inhibiting environmental conditions.  The Global model Simulated/IR 
forecasts from both the GFS and ECMWF indicate that Amanda will lose 
organized convection soon, and the NHC forecast follows suit with 
the cyclone degenerating into a post-tropical remnant low tonight.
