#1137103 (Received by flhurricane at: 10:41 AM 03.Jun.2023) TCDAT2 Tropical Depression Arlene Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL022023 1000 AM CDT Sat Jun 03 2023 Arlene has weakened to a tropical depression. The Air Force Hurricane Hunters have been investigating Arlene this morning and found that the minimum pressure has risen to 1000 mb and maximum winds have decreased to 30 kt or less. This weakening trend is due to strong vertical wind shear and dry air that has wrapped into the circulation, and continued weakening is forecast. Deep convection associated with Arlene has been separating from the low-level center, and there are only a few patches of convection left more than 90 n mi northeast of the center. If these trends continue, Arlene will be designated a remnant low later today. The tropical depression is moving south-southeastward at about 6 kt. The system will turn to the east today as it moves within a deep-layer trough, which will likely increase rainfall across portions of southern Florida through tonight.
