At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Omar was located near latitude 35.6 North, longitude 57.3 West. The depression is moving toward the eastnortheast near 5 mph (7 km/h). A northnortheastward motion is expected to begin 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 on Saturday and dissipate by Saturday night or Sunday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).

er burst of convection has developed near and to the south of the center of Omar, so the system continues as a tropical depression despite ongoing strong shear. The initial intensity is held at 30 kt based on recently received scatterometer data and a satellite intensity estimated from TAFB. A combination of continued shear, dry air, and cooler waters should cause it to decay to a remnant low on Saturday and dissipate entirely by Saturday night or Sunday. Omar is starting its expected north-northeastward turn and the initial motion is now 070/4. An approaching deep-layer trough should cause Omar to turn north-northeastward tonight and Saturday and then accelerate in that direction until it dissipates over the northern central Atlantic.
