At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Rene was located near latitude 26.8 North, longitude 47.6 West. The depression is moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h). A slower northwestward motion is expected by tonight. By late Monday through Tuesday, the system is forecast to move southwestward. Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts. Rene should slowly weaken over the next couple of days and is forecast to become a remnant low on Monday.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1011 mb (29.86 inches).

Sporadic small areas of convection continue to fire off around the circulation of Rene, only to dissipate shortly thereafter. A recent ASCAT overpass showed an area of 20 to 25 kt winds in the eastern semicircle. Therefore, the initial intensity will remain 25 kt. The dry environment surrounding Rene will only get drier over the next couple of days. That, along with increasing subsidence over the cyclone should eventually cause Rene to become a remnant low. There is no change to the previous forecast intensity or timing of the system becoming a remnant low, which is consistent with the global models. Rene is beginning to slow down as a ridge starts to build to the north and northwest of the cyclone. This slowing trend should continue through tonight. Late Monday through Tuesday, a turn to the west then southwest should occur as whatever remains of the system becomes steered by the larger circulation of Tropical Depression Twenty to its southwest. There is little change to the previous track forecast, and the latest NHC forecast lies near the various multi-model track consensus guidance.
