#803277 (Received by flhurricane at: 4:37 AM 19.Sep.2015) TCDAT4 TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 12 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL092015 500 AM AST SAT SEP 19 2015 Satellite imagery indicates that Tropical Depression Nine is becoming less organized due to the ongoing 30-35 kt southwesterly shear. The convection is weaker in both coverage and intensity than it was 24 hours ago, and the low-level circulation is losing definition. The shear is expected to continue for at least the next 48 hours, and based on this the depression is expected to degenerate to a remnant low pressure area in 24 hours or less. The initial motion is 290/10. The low- to mid-level subtropical ridge north of the cyclone should steer it or its remnants toward the west-northwest until the system dissipates completely in a couple of days. The new forecast track is an update of the previous track.
