 TROPICAL STORM ENRIQUE DISCUSSION NUMBER   7
 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       EP062015
 800 PM PDT MON JUL 13 2015
 
 Enrique continues to produce a limited amount of deep convection,
 likely due to the stable air mass that it is embedded within.
 Satellite images show a small area of thunderstorms just north of
 the center and a more organized band over the northeastern
 quadrant.  The initial wind speed is held at 35 kt, but Dvorak
 T-numbers suggest that this could be generous.  Little change in
 strength is expected during the next day or two.  After that time,
 however, weakening is forecast when the storm moves over water
 cooler than 26 C and into an environment of higher wind shear.  The
 intensity forecast is a little lower than the previous one, and is
 in good agreement with the intensity model consensus.
 
 The storm has made the expected turn to the left, and the latest
 initial motion estimate is 290/8 kt.  A continued west-northwestward
 motion at about the same speed is predicted for the next 2 to 3 days
 while Enrique remains steered by a narrow mid-level ridge.  After
 that time, a considerable slowdown is expected, when the steering
 currents collapse in response to Hurricane Dolores to the east and a
 deep-layer trough extending southwestward from the west coast of
 the United States.  The new NHC track forecast is a little south of
 the previous one, and lies near the middle of the guidance envelope.
