TROPICAL DEPRESSION GIL DISCUSSION NUMBER  22
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
2 AM PDT SUN SEP 09 2001
 
A SMALL CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS RE-DEVELOPED AND PERSISTED IN 
THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF GIL...SO THE INTENSITY IS HELD AT 30 KT. 
HOWEVER...GIL DOES NOT HAVE MUCH LIFETIME LEFT AS COLD AIR 
STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS HAVE ALREADY ADVECTED AROUND THE CENTER.  GIL 
MAY GET ONE MORE SHOT OF ENERGY DURING THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS THE 
REMNANT CIRCUALTION OF ONCE TROPICAL STORM HENRIETTE GETS ABSORBED 
INTO THE LARGER CIRCULATION OF GIL.
 
GIL IS EXPECTED TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS 
AND THEN MORE WESTWARD AFTER THAT AS THE REMNANT CIRCULATION OF 
HENRIETTE ACTS TO THE PULL GIL A LITTLE MORE POLEWARD.
