Nora, a tropical depression in the central pacific as of 5 a.m. Thursday morning, has dissipated, according to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

CPHC says that strong southwesterly shear made the low-level circulation no longer identifiable.

Advisories, as of 11 a.m. will no longer be issued by the CPHC.

As of 2:35 p.m., CPHC reported that a surface trough marking the remnant of then-Tropical Depression Nora was located about 225 miles southeast of Hilo, and that upper level winds are not going to provide a conducive environment for redevelopment of the system.
