Convection near Grace's center slowly became less impressive over the next couple of days as the combination of wind shear and dry air took a toll on the system.

Grace was downgraded to a tropical depression on September 8, then 24 hours later, meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center could no longer find a closed circulation, and the last advisory on Grace was issued on September 9 as it was still 825 miles east of the Lesser Antilles.

In all, Grace traveled just over 1,600 miles from its initial point as a tropical depression on September 5 until the last advisory was issued on September 9.
