REMNANTS OF TARA DISCUSSION NUMBER 11
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP222018
1000 PM CDT TUE OCT 16 2018
DATA FROM SEVERAL RECENT MICROWAVE OVERPASSES, LAST-LIGHT VISIBLE
IMAGERY, AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM MEXICO INDICATE THAT TARA NO
LONGER HAS A WELL-DEFINED SURFACE CENTER. THE MID-LEVEL CENTER OF
THE FORMER TROPICAL CYCLONE APPEARED TO MOVE INLAND EARLIER THIS
EVENING, THOUGH IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THE SURFACE CENTER MADE IT
THAT FAR. REGARDLESS, THE HIGH TERRAIN OF MEXICO HAS CAUSED THE
SURFACE CIRCULATION TO OPEN INTO A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AND
DISSIPATE. THIS IS THE LAST NHC ADVISORY ON TARA. ALTHOUGH THE
REMNANT TROUGH WILL LIKELY PRODUCE INTERMITTENT CONVECTION NEAR THE
COAST OF MEXICO TONIGHT, CONTINUED CLOSE PROXIMITY TO LAND SHOULD
PREVENT IT FROM REORGANIZING INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE, AND ALL OF THE
GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE THAT THE REMNANTS WILL GRADUAL WEAKEN OVER
THE NEXT 12 HOURS OR SO.
ALTHOUGH TARA IS NO LONGER A TROPICAL DEPRESSION, ITS REMNANTS
COULD STILL CAUSE HEAVY RAINFALL ALONG PORTIONS OF THE COAST OF
SOUTHWESTERN MEXICO OVERNIGHT. LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING AND
MUDSLIDES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS.
