BASED ON LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY...LIDIA IS QUICKLY BEING ABSORBED
INTO THE LARGER CIRCULATION OF TROPICAL STORM MAX.  THIS ONGOING
PROCESS IS LIKELY TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HRS...IF NOT
SOONER.  LATEST VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND DVORAK
CLASSIFICATIONS SUPPORT WEAKENING LIDIA TO TROPICAL DEPRESSION
STRENGTH AT THIS TIME. THE LARGER CIRCULATION ENVELOPE WILL FURTHER
DEGRADE LIDIA.
