 POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE EIGHT-E DISCUSSION NUMBER  12
 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       EP082015
 800 AM PDT THU JUL 30 2015
 
 Tropical Depression Eight-E has been devoid of organized deep
 convection near the center for more than 18 hours, except for an
 isolated thunderstorm that has recently developed just south of the
 well-defined circulation center.  However, the main band of
 convection is located in the northeastern quadrant, but it is more
 than 200 n mi from the center.  Therefore, this system no longer
 meets the criteria of a tropical cyclone; it is being designated
 as a remnant low, and advisories are being discontinued at this
 time.  The initial intensity remains at 25 kt based on an earlier
 RapidSCAT overpass. Since the remnant low is heading toward a more
 hostile environment, the new NHC official forecast is similar to the
 previous advisory, calling for dissipation in about 24 hours.
 
 The remnant low is moving at 270/11 kt. This general motion should
 continue today, followed by a turn toward the west-southwest by
 Friday morning. The remnant low is forecast to cross into the
 Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of responsibility within the
 next couple of hours.
 
 For additional information on this remnant low please see High Seas
 Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS
 header NFDHSFEPI and WMO header FZPN02 KWBC.
