 TROPICAL DEPRESSION ELEVEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER   1
 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP112006
 800 AM PDT MON AUG 28 2006
  
 ...CORRECTED FOR AWIPS BIN NUMBER IN FIRST LINE ABOVE...
 
 SATELLITE CLASSIFICATIONS FROM TAFB AND SAB HAVE BEEN 2.5 OR 35 KT
 AT BOTH 06 AND 12Z AND BANDING IN THE SYSTEM HAS INCREASED SINCE
 12Z.  THUS ADVISORIES ARE BEING INITIATED AT THIS TIME AS A 30 KT
 TROPICAL DEPRESSION...THOUGH THE SYSTEM MAY ALREADY BE CLOSE TO
 TROPICAL STORM INTENSITY.
  
 INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS AT 305/8...WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN
 DUE THE SCATTER IN THE VARIOUS POSITION ESTIMATES.  DESPITE
 THE INITIAL MOTION TOWARD THE NORTHWEST...MODEL GUIDANCE IS ALL IN
 AGREEMENT THAT THE DEVELOPING SYSTEM SHOULD TURN TOWARD THE
 WEST-NORTHWEST IN THE NEAR TERM...UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A
 DEEP-LAYER RIDGE OVER NORTHEAST MEXICO.  THE RIDGE IS NOT
 ANTICIPATED TO BE VERY STRONG FROM 36 TO 96 HOURS...THE GUIDANCE
 SUGGESTS A SLIGHT TURN TOWARD THE RIGHT WITH A NORTHWEST TRACK
 PARALLELING THE MEXICAN COAST AT THOSE TIMES.  AT DAY 5...IT IS
 ANTICIPATED THAT A WEAKENING SYSTEM WILL BEND BACK TO THE
 WEST-NORTHWEST BEING STEERED BY THE LOWER TROPOSPHERIC FLOW.  THE
 FORECAST TRACK FOLLOWS THE CONSENSUS OF THE DYNAMICAL
 MODELS...EXCEPT THE NOGAPS MODEL WHICH LOSES THE SYSTEM AFTER 36
 HOURS.
  
 DUE TO LOW VERTICAL SHEAR...VERY WARM WATERS...ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND
 WELL-ESTABLISHED CONVECTIVE FEATURES...STEADY INTENSIFICATION
 SHOULD OCCUR FOR THIS SYSTEM OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS AS SUGGESTED
 BY BOTH GFDL AND SHIPS INTENSITY GUIDANCE.  AFTER DAY 3...THE WATER
 TEMPERATURES DROP AND THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES MORE STABLE...
 SUGGESTING WEAKENING ON DAYS 4 AND 5.
 
 INTERESTS ALONG THE WEST COAST OF MEXICO FROM PUERTO ANGEL TO LA
 FORTUNA SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.
