Deep convection associated with Pena has largely dissipated during 
the past several hours. In addition, an ASCAT-B pass at 0842 UTC 
showed that the system had degenerated into an open trough. 
Therefore, Pena is no longer a tropical cyclone, and this is 
the last NHC advisory on this system. The initial intensity is held 
at 30 kt based on the ASCAT data that showed peak winds of 28 kt, 
and the subjective and objective intensity estimates that range 
from 25-32 kt.

Given that the system is expected to accelerate westward into a 
dry mid-level environment, on the south side of a strong 
low- to mid-level subtropical ridge, re-development is not 
anticipated.
