At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Rene was located near latitude 27.2 North, longitude 47.9 West. The depression is moving toward the west near 2 mph (4 km/h), and this motion is forecast to continue tonight. A faster motion toward the westsouthwest or southwest is forecast to begin Monday and continue through dissipation.

Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is forecast, and Rene is expected to become a remnant low on Monday, and dissipate by Wednesday.

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

Rene continues to produced puffs of deep convection that are continually being sheared away by nearly 30 kt of westerly shear. These brief convective bursts have not been sufficiently organized to warrant a Dvorak classification for about 12 hours, so if the convective organization does not increase soon, Rene could become a remnant low tonight. Continued shear and a very dry mid-level environment should result in Rene's remnants dissipating by 60 hours, if not sooner. Rene's forward speed has slowed since the last advisory, with a westward drift of 270/02 the current estimate. The shallow cyclone should accelerate west-southwestward or southwestward in the low-level flow by 24 hours and continue on that general motion until dissipation. The new NHC track forecast is adjusted south of the previous one toward the new multi-model consensus.
