LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT NORMAN HAS BEEN UNABLE TO
GENERATE ANY SIGNIFICANT DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION FOR 12-18 HOURS.  ACCORDINGLY...THIS SYSTEM NO LONGER
QUALIFIES AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY
ISSUED UNLESS REGENERATION OCCURS.  THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS
LOWERED TO 25 KT...AND THE REMNANT LOW IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY SPIN
DOWN OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO...AND BE DISSIPATED BY DAY 3. 
 
LACKING APPRECIABLE CONVECTION...NORMAN NOW APPEARS RELATIVELY
SHALLOW AND THUS STEERED BY LOWER LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW. 
ACCORDINGLY...THE CYCLONE IS NOW MOVING TOWARD THE EAST-NORTHEAST
OR 075/06.  THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS SHIFTED A LITTLE SOUTH TO BE
IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE INITIAL MOTION...AND IS CLOSEST TO THE
NOGAPS AND UKMET MODELS.
