Tropical Depression Hernan Discussion Number  10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP082026
1100 PM HST Fri Aug 14 2026

Hernan is currently a swirl of low- to mid-level clouds with no 
active convection. A recent ASCAT overpass showed winds of 25-27 kt 
in the northwestern quadrant, and based on this and the possibility 
of undersampling the initial intensity is held at a possibly 
generous 30 kt. Unless convection makes a significant re-appearance, 
the cyclone is expected to degenerate to a remnant low within the 
next 12 h. The new forecast calls for the remnant low to decay to a 
trough by 72 h in agreement with the global models.

The initial motion is 275/11 kt. A low- to mid-level ridge to the 
north should steer Hernan and its remnants westward for the next 
few days. The new forecast track is similar to, but a little faster 
than, the previous track.
