...
THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE-E HAVE FLARED UP TODAY
CONVECTIVELY UNDER THE SW PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE VENTING
GUILLERMO. THIS SYSTEM REMAINS IN A MOIST ENVIRONMENT AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE WESTWARD THROUGH AN AREA OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL
SHEAR. THERE IS A MEDIUM CHANCE...30 TO 50 PERCENT...OF THIS
SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

FOR THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC...EAST OF 140 DEGREES WEST LONGITUDE..

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL
STORM GUILLERMO...LOCATED ABOUT 940 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE
SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA.

1. THE REMNANT LOW OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE-E IS LOCATED ABOUT 1300
MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. ASSOCIATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN DISORGANIZED...BUT ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS STILL APPEAR SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE FOR RE-DEVELOPMENT OF
THIS SYSTEM AS IT MOVES SLOWLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD. THERE IS A
MEDIUM CHANCE...30 TO 50 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE AGAIN DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

19Z QuikSCAT sure looks to me like this has a closed circulation again - I'd call it a TD:

Twelve advisories and it's still a depression....this may be a dumb question but what's the longest a depression has persisted without either becoming a tropical storm or dissipating?

Fourteen.

2205 TWD

THE REMNANT LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE-E
WAS LOCATED NEAR 10.5N139.5W AND WAS ESTIMATED AT 1009 MB. THE
CENTER APPEARS TO BE MOVING VERY SLOWLY W...AND IS EMBEDDED
WITHIN ELONGATED TROUGHING OF THE ITCZ. SCATTERED MODERATE TO
STRONG CONVECTION WAS OCCURRING IN THE SW QUADRANT AND EXTENDED
300 NM SW OF THIS LOW. A CONTINUED W TO W-SW MOTION...OR DRIFT
IS EXPECTED WITH THIS LOW...WHICH WILL KEEP IT OVER WARM WATERS.
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE MOVING SW
FASTER THAN THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION...LEAVING IT STRETCHED AND
EXPOSED ON THE NE SIDE. HOWEVER...THERE IS A MEDIUM CHANCE...30
TO 50 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE AGAIN
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.





Could be a Carlos-like death of fading away into the ITCZ.
