AN EARLIER QUIKSCAT PASS...ABOUT 0130 UTC...SHOWED A FEW VECTORS OF
35 TO 40 KT WINDS. SINCE THEN...THE CLOUD PATTERN HAS DETERIORATED
SIGNIFICANTLY AND IT IS NOW SHAPELESS AND THE CYCLONE IS VOID OF
DEEP CONVECTION. THEREFORE...THE INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN LOWERED
TO 30 KT. FURTHER WEAKENING OVER COOL WATER IS FORECAST.

EMILIA IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST OR 300 DEGREES AT 11
KNOTS. A TURN MORE TO THE WEST IS ANTICIPATED UNTIL DISSIPATION IN
A DAY OR TWO.
