 TROPICAL DEPRESSION THIRTEEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER   6
 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP132007
 200 PM PDT THU SEP 20 2007
  
 DEEP CONVECTION HAS DISSIPATED IN THE SYSTEM DURING THE LAST SEVERAL
 HOURS.  A 1422Z QUIKSCAT PASS AND AN 18Z SHIP REPORT NORTHWEST OF
 THE CENTER SUGGESTED WINDS OF 25 TO 30 KT.  DVORAK ESTIMATES HAVE
 ALSO DROPPED TO 25 KT...WHICH IS CHOSEN AS THE CURRENT INTENSITY.
  
 TROPICAL DEPRESSION THIRTEEN LIKELY HAS DECAYED DUE TO COOL SSTS AND
 A STABLE AND DRY ATMOSPHERE.  GIVEN THE CONTINUED LACK OF
 CONVECTION...THE SYSTEM NO LONGER MEETS THE CRITERION FOR A
 TROPICAL CYCLONE AND THIS WILL BE ITS LAST ADVISORY. 
  
 THE DISSIPATING TROPICAL CYCLONE IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST AT ABOUT
 4 KT DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF A WEAK RIDGE TO ITS NORTH.  LOW-LEVEL
 STEERING SHOULD NEARLY COLLAPSE IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO WITH A TURN
 BACK TO THE EAST INDICATED BETWEEN 24 TO 48 HOURS FOR THE REMNANT
 LOW.
  
 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE REMNANT LOW PLEASE SEE HIGH SEAS
 FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER AWIPS
