TROPICAL DEPRESSION ELIDA DISCUSSION NUMBER 31

800 AM PDT SAT JUL 19 2008
DEEP CONVECTION IS GONE AND ELIDA HAS BEEN REDUCED TO A SWIRL OF LOW
CLOUDS AND CIRRUS DEBRIS. THE SYSTEM IS OVER RATHER COOL WATERS
AND CONVECTION APPEARS UNLIKELY TO RESUME TODAY...SO ELIDA WILL
LIKELY BE DECLARED A REMNANT LOW LATER TODAY.
ELIDA CONTINUES MOVING GENERALLY WESTWARD OR 265/10. LITTLE CHANGE
IN THE HEADING WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED ARE
FORECAST AS THE SYSTEM SLIDES ALONG IN THE LOW-LEVEL TRADE WIND
FLOW. IT IS UNCERTAIN JUST HOW LONG A CLOSED CIRCULATION WILL
LAST...BUT BASED ON THE MODEL GUIDANCE THE OFFICIAL FORECAST
CARRIES A REMNANT LOW THROUGH 72 HOURS.
