post-tropical system Elida Discussion Number 24
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL EP052026
8:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time, Monday July 20 2026
Elida no longer possesses any deep convection near the center and it
has not produced any significant convection since about 0400 UTC.
As
Elida moves over even colder sea-surface temperatures, and
encounters more drier air and wind shear, the remaining circulation
should dissipate within the next couple of days.
The initial
intensity is lowered to 35 knots, based on the TAFB subjective Dvorak
fix of 2.5/35 knots.
Elida has turned toward the north-northwest and appears to be
increasing its forward speed, with the latest motion estimated at
345/10 knots.
This north-northwestward then northward motion should
continue during the next few days as the cyclone moves between a
deep-layer trough to its northwest and a ridge centered over the
southwestern United States.
The the National Hurricane Center track forecast continues to be
near the previous track, and lies near the corrected consensus HCCA.
Gradual weakening is expected to continue over the next couple of
days as the hostile environmental conditions persist, with the
cyclone forecast to dissipate into an open trough within a few
days.
This is the last the National Hurricane Center advisory on Elida.
