Post-Tropical Cyclone Elida Discussion Number  24

Elida no longer possesses any deep convection near the center and it 
has not produced any significant convection since about 0400 UTC. As 
Elida moves over even colder sea-surface temperatures, and 
encounters more drier air and wind shear, the remaining circulation 
should dissipate within the next couple of days. The initial 
intensity is lowered to 35 kt, based on the TAFB subjective Dvorak 
fix of 2.5/35 kt.

Elida has turned toward the north-northwest and appears to be 
increasing its forward speed, with the latest motion estimated at 
345/10 kt. This north-northwestward then northward motion should 
continue during the next few days as the cyclone moves between a 
deep-layer trough to its northwest and a ridge centered over the 
southwestern United States. The NHC track forecast continues to be 
near the previous track, and lies near the corrected consensus HCCA.

Gradual weakening is expected to continue over the next couple of 
days as the hostile environmental conditions persist, with the 
cyclone forecast to dissipate into an open trough within a few 
days. 

This is the last NHC advisory on Elida.  For additional information
