At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Omar was located near latitude 37.4 North, longitude 57.3 West. The depression is moving toward the north near 10 mph (17 km/h). A faster northnortheastward or northeastward motion is expected during the next day or two.

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

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1010 mb (29.83 inches).

Omar is barely a tropical cyclone. The center is completely exposed to the north of a slowly shrinking area of sheared deep convection. The initial intensity is held at 30 kt for this advisory. Omar remains in an environment of northerly wind shear, dry air, and it is headed toward cool waters. These conditions should cause Omar to finally become a remnant low soon. Although the forecast shows the system becoming a remnant low at 24 hours, it certainty could become one at any time before then after its limited amount of deep convection dissipates. Satellite images show an approaching cold front about 300 n mi to the northwest of Omar. This front is expected to merge with the system, causing Omar or its remnants to become extratropical by Sunday afternoon. The tropical depression is now moving northward at 9 kt. A much faster north-northeast to northeast motion is expected during the remainder of the weekend as Omar, or its remnants, become more embedded in the fast steering flow ahead of the aforementioned cold front.
