The NHC had this to say about the future prospects of this storm:
"As previous advisories have noted, the environment ahead of the depression does not favor strengthening. Dry air and an increase in shear are expected to cause weakening during the next day or two, and all of the dynamical models show the system becoming a trough of low pressure by the time it reaches the Lesser Antilles. The NHC forecast follows this reasoning and calls for dissipation in 2 to 3 days."
The News4Jax Weather Authority will continue to track the depression, or what's left of it, over the next few days. Due to harsh environmental conditions including dry air and high wind shear, strengthening and or regeneration of this depression is not anticipated at this time.
