NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL

THE CLOUD SIGNATURE OF OLAF IS STILL FAIRLY WELL ORGANIZED...BUT THE
SURFACE CIRCULATION IS LIKELY BEING DISRUPTED BY THE HIGH TERRAIN
OF SOUTHWESTERN MEXICO.  THE CIRCULATION IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE
TONIGHT.  RAINFALL REMAINS THE PRIMARY THREAT...ALTHOUGH THE AREAL
COVERAGE OF DEEP CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO DIMINISH.
