At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Omar was located near latitude 35.3 North, longitude 57.3 West. The depression is moving toward the east near 6 mph (9 km/h). A northnortheastward motion is expected to begin by tonight and should continue through Saturday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Omar is forecast to become a remnant low tonight or early Saturday and dissipate by Saturday night.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).

Omar continues to hang on as a tropical depression. The cyclone is producing a small area of thunderstorms to the south of the center, enough to continue writing advisories on this system for now. The initial intensity is held at 30 kt based on the earlier ASCAT data. Omar has been more resistant than expected to the ongoing northerly wind shear, but the models insist that the continued shear, dry air, and cooler waters should cause it to decay to a remnant low this evening or early Saturday and dissipate entirely by Saturday night.
The tropical depression is still moving eastward at about 5 kt. An approaching deep-layer trough should cause Omar to turn north- northeastward tonight and then accelerate in that direction until it dissipates over the northern central Atlantic this weekend.
