TROPICAL DEPRESSION THIRTEEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 2  
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP132024  
800 PM PDT FRI NOV 01 2024  
 
THE DEPRESSION HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION DURING THE PAST  
SEVERAL HOURS, WITH VISIBLE AND MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING  
A CLUSTER OF CONVECTION NEAR OR A LITTLE EAST OF THE LOW-LEVEL  
CENTER. SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES HAVE CHANGED LITTLE SINCE THE  
LAST ADVISORY, AND THUS THE INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS 30 KT.  
 
THE INITIAL MOTION REMAINS 270/6 KT. THE DEPRESSION IS EXPECTED TO  
CONTINUE MOVING GENERALLY WESTWARD DURING ITS LIFETIME AS IT IS  
STEERED BY A BROAD MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE NORTH. THE LATEST TRACK  
GUIDANCE IS SIMILAR TO, BUT A LITTLE SLOWER THAN, THE EARLIER  
GUIDANCE. BASED ON THE LATEST AIDS, THE NEW FORECAST TRACK IS ALSO A  
LITTLE SLOWER, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK GUIDANCE ENVELOPE.  
 
THE DEPRESSION IS CURRENTLY IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LIGHT SHEAR AND  
OVER RELATIVELY WARM WATER, AND THIS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH 48 H.  
WHILE THIS ENVIRONMENT SEEMS FAVORABLE, THE REGIONAL-HURRICANE  
MODELS AND THE GLOBAL MODELS SHOW LITTLE STRENGTHENING DURING THIS  
TIME. THE INTENSITY FORECAST FOLLOWS THESE MODELS AND THEREFORE  
CALLS FOR LITTLE CHANGE IN STRENGTH. HOWEVER, ANY STRENGTHENING  
WOULD BRING THE SYSTEM TO TROPICAL-STORM STRENGTH, AND THE  
STATISTICAL-DYNAMICAL MODELS DO FORECAST SOME INTENSIFICATION.  
AFTER 48 H, INCREASING SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE THIS SMALL SYSTEM  
TO DEGENERATE TO A REMNANT LOW PRESSURE AREA. A 72-H POINT AS A  
REMNANT LOW WAS ADDED BASED ON THE GLOBAL MODEL GUIDANCE.
