TROPICAL DEPRESSION LINDA DISCUSSION NUMBER  15
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
2 PM PDT WED SEP 17 2003
 
THE SYSTEM IS CHARACTERIZED BY A SWIRL OF STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS WITH
NO DEEP CONVECTION NEAR THE CENTER.  LINDA HAS BEEN DEVOID OF
SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FOR 18 HOURS...AND THE
ENTRAINMENT OF STABLE AIR IS DISSIPATING THE TROPICAL CYCLONE.  THE
SYSTEM WILL LIKELY LINGER ON FOR A REMNANT LOW FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

STEERING CURRENTS ARE VERY WEAK.  THE CYCLONE IS DRIFTING
SOUTHWESTWARD...AROUND 220/1.  NUMERICAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A MORE
WESTWARD MOTION DEVELOPING IN A DAY OR TWO AS LOW-LEVEL PRESSURES
RISE TO THE NORTH OF THE REMNANT LOW.  

THIS WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY ON LINDA UNLESS REGENERATION OCCURS.
