 TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALETTA DISCUSSION NUMBER  15
 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP012006
 200 PM PDT TUE MAY 30 2006
  
 VISIBLE IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON REVEALS THAT THE CIRCULATION OF ALETTA
 HAS BECOME DIFFUSE AND ILL-DEFINED. CONSEQUENTLY...THE SYSTEM IS NO
 LONGER A TROPICAL CYCLONE AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY. THE
 CONVECTION THAT WAS PRESENT EARLIER HAS LARGELY EVAPORATED. VERTICAL
 SHEAR IS STRONG OVER THE SYSTEM AND EXPECTED TO GET STRONGER. GIVEN
 THIS AND THE DRY ENVIRONMENT...REGENERATION IS UNLIKELY. THE
 REMNANTS OF ALETTA ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE GENERALLY WESTWARD TO THE
 SOUTH OF A MID- TO LOWER-LEVEL RIDGE.
