ZCZC MIATCDEP2 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Depression Guillermo Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072021 200 PM PDT Mon Jul 19 2021 Guillermo is now producing a small shapeless area of convection about 70 miles to the southeast of the center, but otherwise, the cyclone consists mainly of a swirl of low clouds. A recent METOP-A scatterometer pass showed an area 25-30 kt winds well north (about 90 miles) of the center. Based on this data, the initial intensity is lowered to 30 kt. With the combined negative contributions of cool sub 25C oceanic temperatures, stiff west-northwesterly shear and entrainment of high statically stable marine-layer air, Guillermo should degenerate to a remnant low by Wednesday night, if not sooner. The large-scale models and the statistical intensity guidance show the cyclone opening up into a trough of low pressure by day 4, and the NHC forecast follows suit. The depression has increased in forward speed to 15 kt, while moving westward in the fresh tradewind steering flow. A continued westward motion on the south side of a low- to mid-level subtropical ridge at about the same aforementioned speed is forecast during the entire period. The official track forecast is close to the middle of the model guidance envelope and a little to the left of the previous advisory.
