Tropical Depression Nineteen-E Discussion Number   7

Satellite images indicate that Tropical Depression Nineteen-E is
poorly organized and barely a tropical cyclone. Although the system
is producing some deep convection, it has been transient and lacks
organization. In addition, the low-level circulation is becoming
increasingly elongated from northeast to southwest. The initial
intensity is held at 25 kt, in agreement with the latest satellite
estimates.

Strong vertical wind shear and dry air should cause continued 
weakening. The system could be declared a remnant low on Thursday if 
the convection does not increase in organization. Regardless of its 
status overnight and Thursday, it seems very likely that  
the depression will dissipate in 24 to 36 hours as it approaches 
Hurricane Rachel to its east. The NHC forecast has moved up 
dissipation to 36 hours, in agreement with all of the global model 
guidance.

The depression is moving east-northeastward at 12 kt, and that 
general motion is expected to continue in the low-level flow until 
the system dissipates.
