Post-Tropical Cyclone Kevin Discussion Number 21
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112021
800 AM PDT Thu Aug 12 2021
A little bit of convection continues to persist about 200 n mi to
the southwest of Kevin's center, but at that distance, it is not
considered organized in relation to the cyclone. In fact, Kevin has
had this structure for a good 18 hours or so, and it has
therefore degenerated into a remnant low. Based on last evening's
ASCAT passes, it is assumed that winds as high as 30 kt are still
occurring within the circulation. However, the center will be
moving over waters colder than 23 degrees Celsius very soon, so a
gradual decrease in the winds is expected over the next couple of
days. Dissipation of the remnant low in expected in about 3 days.
Kevin is moving toward the west-northwest, or 300/12 kt. The
remnant low is expected to move along the southwestern periphery of
a low- to mid-level ridge centered over the United States and
Mexico, which should cause a west-northwestward or northwestward
motion until dissipation. There is very little spread in the track
guidance, and this last NHC track forecast is just an update of
the previous one.
This is the last advisory being issued for Kevin. For additional
information on the remnant low please see High Seas Forecasts
issued by the National Weather Service under AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI
and WMO header FZPN02 KWBC.
