FIRST VISIBLE IMAGES SHOW A LOW LEVEL CENTER DISPLACED ABOUT 150
MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE DIMINISHING DEEP CONVECTION.  ENRIQUE IS
DOWNGRADED TO A DEPRESSION ON THIS BASIS.  COLD SSTS ARE EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE THE DISSIPATION PROCESS AND THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS
FOR A REMNANT LOW IN 24 HOURS AND TOTAL DISSIPATION AFTER 3
DAYS...IF NOT SOONER.
 
THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 285/14.  THE GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT ABOUT A WESTWARD TO JUST SOUTH OF WESTWARD TRACK AS A
STRONG SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE DOMINATES THE STEERING.   THE OFFICIAL
TRACK FORECAST IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS GUIDANCE.
