ZCZC MIATCDEP4 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Depression Mario Discussion Number 24 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142019 300 AM MDT Mon Sep 23 2019 Mario earned an extra life yesterday but has just about reached its time limit. Satellite images indicate that an earlier burst of deep convection has dissipated, with only a couple of small disorganized blobs left over. If there is no further convective re-development, Mario will likely be declared a remnant low later this morning. The initial wind speed is reduced to 25 kt in agreement with the latest satellite estimates. The depression is nearing cool waters and a drier, more stable environment. These conditions should be enough to cause Mario to continue to gradually weaken and open up into a trough within a day or so. The latest intensity and track forecasts are based on the consensus guidance, tilted toward the global models which generally do well at this stage of the tropical cyclone life cycle. No significant changes were made to the previous forecast.
