A potential risk posed by Tropical Depression Nineteen-E prompted the issuance of a Tropical Storm Watch for El Savador. At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Depression Nineteen-E was located at latitude 10.8°N and longitude 92.5°W which put it about 300 miles (480 km) southwest of San Salvador, El Salvador. The tropical depression was moving toward the northeast at 3 m.p.h. (5 km/h). The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. (55 km/h) and there were wind gusts to 45 m.p.h. (75 km/h). The minimum surface pressure was 1005 mb.

A Tropical Storm Watch was in effect for the entire coast of El Salvador.

The circulation around Tropical Depression Nineteen-E exhibited a little more organization on Sunday afternoon. Thunderstorms began to form near the center of the circulation around the depression. More thunderstorms also started to develop in the bands revolving around the center of circulation. Storms near the center began to generate upper level divergence that pumped mass away from the tropical depression.

Tropical Depression Nineteen-E will move through an environment that will be somewhat favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours. The tropical depression will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 29°C. It will move under the southwestern part of an upper level low over the Northwestern Caribbean Sea. The upper level low will produce southwesterly winds that will blow toward the top of the tropical depression. Those winds will cause moderate vertical wind shear and the wind shear will inhibit intensification. The wind shear will not be strong enough to prevent intensification. Tropical Depression Nineteen-E is likely to intensify to a tropical storm during the next 24 hours.

The upper level trough over the Northwestern Caribbean Sea will steer Tropical Depression Nineteen-E slowly toward the northeast during the next 24 hours. On its anticipated track, the tropical depression could approach El Salvador on Tuesday. Tropical Depression Nineteen-E is forecast to stall when it gets near El Salvador. The tropical depression could bring gusty winds and locally heavy rain to the coast of El Salvador. Heavy rain could cause flash floods in some locations.
