At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Omar was located near latitude 36.2 North, longitude 57.1 West. The depression is moving toward the northnortheast near 7 mph (11 km/h) and this general direction of motion with an increase in forward speed is expected over the next couple of days.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Omar is forecast to degenerate into a remnant low tonight or early Sunday, and to dissipate by late Sunday or early Monday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb (29.77 inches).

Omar continues to produce bursts of deep convection that are being sheared to the south of the center of circulation. However, these busts are near enough to the center for the system to still qualify as a tropical cyclone. Since Omar is now finally beginning to head for cooler waters, convection will likely decrease and Omar should become a remnant low within 24 hours. As expected, the cyclone is now moving north-northeastward, or 020/6 kt. A continued generally north-northeast track with acceleration is likely, under the influence of an approaching large mid-level trough. The official track forecast is similar to the NOAA corrected consensus, HCCA, prediction.
