Tropical Depression Fourteen-E Discussion Number   5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP142024
900 AM CST Thu Nov 07 2024

The depression is once again struggling to produce deep organized 
convection.  Thunderstorms from the diurnal maximum overnight have 
dissipated, and the low-level center is nearing an area of 
convection not associated with the depression.  Furthermore, the 
outflow boundaries from the adjacent thunderstorms seem to be 
disrupting the low-level circulation.  The TAFB Dvorak Final-T has 
also trended downward to T1.5, reflecting the decaying convective 
organization. The initial intensity is held at a possibly generous 
25 kt for this advisory.

Environmental conditions should remain marginal to hostile and
prevent further strengthening.  Global models continue to predict
that the depression should open into a trough within a day, though
it is possible this has already occurred.  The latest official
intensity forecast still shows dissipation occurring by Friday.

The depression is moving at an uncertain 110/4 kt.  The low-level
flow is expected to turn the depression to the southeast soon.  The
NHC track position is near the corrected consensus aid, HCCA.
