TROPICAL STORM DELTA DISCUSSION NUMBER  12

DELTA CONSISTS OF AN EXPOSED AND WELL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
WITH A CURVED BAND OF DEEP CONVECTION TO THE EAST OF THE CENTER. 
INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN LOWERED TO 35 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK
T-NUMBERS FROM ALL AGENCIES. BECAUSE THE CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE TOWARD COOLER WATERS AND WITHIN AN EVEN STRONGER WIND SHEAR
ENVIRONMENT...ADDITIONAL WEAKENING IS ANTICIPATED. DELTA SHOULD
BECOME EXTRATROPICAL IN A DAY OR SO.    
 
DELTA IS NOW MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST ABOUT 8 KNOTS. THE CYCLONE
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TOWARD THE NORTHEAST FOR A DAY OR SO WITHIN
THE FLOW AROUND A DEVELOPING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH ALONG 50 DEGREES
WEST. THEREAFTER...A TURN TO THE EAST WITH AN INCREASE IN FORWARD
SPEED IS ANTICIPATED AS DELTA BECOMES FULLY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
WESTERLY FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH A LARGE CYCLONE OVER WESTERN EUROPE.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS STEERING PATTERN IS INDICATED BY ALL OF THE
AVAILABLE GLOBAL MODELS AND THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS REASONS TO ASSUME
ANOTHER SOLUTION.
