This depression is really sad, I also anticipate no TS from this. Yes the shear is lessening - etc. etc. etc., but we've been saying this for in excess of 24 hours now with nothing but the same 30 knots/1006 mbar. I can't understand why it didn't strengthen today, since that was the ideal time to do so. The center going closer to the convection really doesn't make a difference if the system isn't intensifying. Now it's even further away from whatever skeletal convection that remains, again with multiple vortices. Virtually hopeless now, in my opinion, unless it can pull a surprise and briefly gain TS strength at diurnal maximum. Another system fails to strengthen despite generally favourable conditions.
