WITH THE INCREASED CONVECTIVE BANDING NOTED TODAY...THE SYSTEM IS NOW CLASSIFYABLE AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. NO ADDITONAL STRENGTHENING IS EXPECTED AS THE CENTER IS NOW MOVING INLAND NEAR TAMPICO MEXICO. FROM THIS TIME...THE CYCLONE SHOULD WEAKEN AND DECAY TO A REMNANT LOW PRESSURE AREA IN ABOUT 24 HOURS...AND DISSIPATE COMPLETELY BY 36 HR. THE INITIAL MOTION IS A SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN 250/5. A LOW/MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE NORTH OF THE DEPRESSION SHOULD STEER IT GENERALLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNTIL DISSIPATION. THE MAIN THREAT FROM THIS DEPRESSION IS HEAVY RAINS OVER THE MEXICAN STATES OF VERACRUZ AND TMAMULIPAS...ALONG WITH POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES.
