At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Rene was located near latitude 26.2 North, longitude 47.1 West. The depression is moving toward the northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h). A slower northwestward motion is expected later today, and a slow westward motion is forecast by Sunday night. On Monday and Tuesday, the system is forecast to move westsouthwestward.

Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts. Rene should slowly weaken over the next few days and is forecast to become a remnant low on Monday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1011 mb (29.86 inches).

is producing a round of disorganized convection at this time, with the convection now displaced to the east of the center by increasing west-northwesterly vertical shear. The initial intensity remains 25 kt based on a combination of satellite intensity estimates and continuity from the previous advisory. The strong shear and a dry environment should lead to Rene degenerating to a remnant low pressure area between 24-36 h, with the global models in good agreement that the remnant low should weaken to a trough by 72 h. The new intensity forecast is unchanged from the previous forecast. The initial motion is 325/12. A blocking ridge of high pressure is forecast to build to the northwest or Rene during the next day or two, causing the cyclone to slow down and then turn westward. After that time, a west-southwestward motion is expected as Rene or its remnants are steered by a combination of the ridge and the circulation of Tropical Depression 20 to the southeast. There is little change to either the track guidance or the forecast track from the previous advisory.
