ZCZC MIATCDEP2 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Depression Guillermo Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072021 800 AM PDT Tue Jul 20 2021 A small burst of convection formed around 12Z, and it's just large enough to hold on to Guillermo as a 30-kt tropical depression. This small area of convection is located in the northeastern quadrant, and it likely won't last long as the cyclone remains embedded in a very dry and stable air mass and over cool 24 C waters. Guillermo should degenerate into a remnant low later today, assuming the deep convection dissipates. The continued influences of dry air and cool waters should cause the weak system to spin down, and it should ultimately dissipate in a few days prior to reaching the Central Pacific basin. The tropical depression is moving westward at 15 kt. A general west-southwestward motion is expected during the next few days as Guillermo, or its remnants, remains embedded in the flow on the south side of a low- to mid-level ridge. The NHC track forecast is just a tad to the north of the previous one and lies near the middle of the guidance envelope.
