| #1015276 (Received by flhurricane at: 10:48 PM 04.Sep.2020) TCDAT5 Tropical Depression Omar Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152020 1100 PM AST Fri Sep 04 2020 Another burst of convection has developed near and to the south of the center of Omar, so the system continues as a tropical depression despite ongoing strong shear. The initial intensity is held at 30 kt based on recently received scatterometer data and a satellite intensity estimated from TAFB. A combination of continued shear, dry air, and cooler waters should cause it to decay to a remnant low on Saturday and dissipate entirely by Saturday night or Sunday. Omar is starting its expected north-northeastward turn and the initial motion is now 070/4. An approaching deep-layer trough should cause Omar to turn north-northeastward tonight and Saturday and then accelerate in that direction until it dissipates over the northern central Atlantic.
