Tropical Depression Flossie Discussion #33 NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu 500 AM HST Mon Aug 5 A few bursts of deep convection have developed well to the north of the low-level circulation center (LLCC) of Flossie early this morning. The initial intensity for this advisory has been held at 30 knots. The initial motion has been set at 285/13 knots. Flossie is expected to make a turn toward the northwest with a slight decrease in forward speed later today as it rounds the southwestern periphery of a large subtropical ridge to the distant northeast. This general motion is then expected to continue through dissipation late Tuesday or Tuesday night. The latest track guidance has shifted to the north, and as a result, the official forecast track was adjusted slightly to the north of the previous advisory. This will bring the center of Flossie or its remnant low, very close to the main Hawaiian Islands later today through Tuesday. Strong westerly vertical wind shear of 30 to 40 knots will continue to affect Flossie over the next couple days, inhibiting any intensification or re-organization of the tropical cyclone. Although brief bursts of deep convection will likely continue during the next couple days, Flossie is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low later today, with dissipation expected late Tuesday or Tuesday night....
