Tropical Storm CINDY (Text)

ZCZC MIATCDAT3 ALL
TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM
TROPICAL STORM CINDY DISCUSSION NUMBER  11
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 AM EDT WED JUL 06 2005
 
RADAR SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT CINDY HAS CONTINUED TO MOVE
FARTHER INLAND OVER LOUISIANA. THE CLOUD PATTERN IS STILL WELL
ORGANIZED WITH VERY DEEP CONVECTION NEAR THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION.
HOWEVER...THE INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN LOWERED TO 50 KNOTS AND
CINDY SHOULD CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN OVER LAND AND BECOME
EXTRATROPICAL IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
 
INITIAL MOTION IS 035/12. CINDY IS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW AHEAD OF A MID-LEVEL TROUGH. SO A CONTINUED NORTHEAST TRACK
WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED IS ANTICIPATED...UNTIL IT
BECOMES ABSORBED BY A FRONTAL SYSTEM.
 
CINDY HAS A LARGE CIRCULATION AND THE TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE
STILL AFFECTING THE COAST. THEREFORE...THE COASTAL WARNINGS ARE
KEPT AT THIS TIME BUT MOST LIKELY WILL BE DISCONTINUED LATER TODAY
AS THE STORM MOVES FARTHER INLAND.
