Tropical Depression Six Discussion Number   5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL062023
500 PM AST Sun Aug 20 2023

Visible satellite imagery indicates that the deep convection
north and east of the depression has dissipated this afternoon. Once
again, the center of circulation is completely exposed and is not as
well-defined as earlier today. Based on a blend of objective and
subjective satellite estimates, the initial intensity estimate for
this advisory is held at 30 kt.

Not much has changed with the forecast reasoning. Strong deep-layer
westerly shear and unfavorable mid-level thermodynamics are
expected to preclude further development of the depression. Global
models and ensembles are in agreement that intensification
is unlikely, and thus the official forecast has the depression as a
remnant low in 12 h and dissipated in 24 h.

The depression is now moving slightly north of due west, and this
general motion is expected to continue until dissipation occurs.
The official track forecast is a blend of consensus guidance and is
similar to the previous forecast.
