A tropical depression is experiencing westerly shear, which is affecting its convection. Its intensity is currently estimated at 30 kt. The system's movement is influenced by a nearby ridge, causing it to move west-southwest.

The ridge is expected to continue steering the cyclone, potentially increasing its speed. Details about the tropical depression's trajectory and intensity are available from the National Hurricane Center.

Further information can be found in the Tropical Depression Fifteen-E Forecast Discussion, which provides updates on the system's status and projected path.
