The system is organizing as time goes by and TD status may be there for it tommorow.Josh this will pass well south of you so no effects from it.

Definitely looks slightly better organized. Probably TD tomorrow, but it might be Wednesday.

The window for development is closing. Shear is encroaching from the north on this system. It is close to TD now, but if it doesnt become one in 24 hours, it may not become a TD at all

It is a tropical depression as of right now

TCDEP4
TROPICAL DEPRESSION ONE-E DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
8 PM PDT MON MAY 19 2003

THE TROPICAL DISTURBANCE TO THE SOUTH OF MANZANILLO MEXICO HAS
GRADUALLY BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED. ANIMATION OF VISIBLE IMAGERY
SHOWED A DECENT LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION. A FAIRLY WELL-DEFINED
CONVECTIVE BAND WAS OBSERVED OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN SEMICIRCLE OF
THE SYSTEM...AND THE DATA T-NUMBER FROM THE TROPICAL ANALYSIS AND
FORECAST BRANCH IS NOW 2.0 ON THE DVORAK SCALE. THEREFORE THE
SYSTEM IS BEING NUMBERED AS THE FIRST DEPRESSION OF THE EASTERN
PACIFIC SEASON. THE CYCLONE IS OVER VERY WARM WATER BUT THE
UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW IS NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE AT THE MOMENT. THE
INTENSITY FORECAST FOR THIS ADVISORY IS CONSERVATIVE...AND ABOUT 10
KT BELOW THE SHIPS GUIDANCE.

BEST GUESS AT INITIAL MOTION IS 270/8. THE GLOBAL MODELS SHOW A
WELL-ESTABLISHED MID-TROPOSPHERIC RIDGE TO THE NORTH OF THE
TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THEREFORE THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST CALLS FOR A WEST TO WEST-NORTHWEST TRACK DURING
THE PERIOD. THIS IS FAIRLY CLOSE TO...BUT SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF...THE
NOGAPS MODEL TRACK.
