Tropical Depression JERRY (Text)

ZCZC MIATCDAT1 ALL
TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM
TROPICAL DEPRESSION JERRY DISCUSSION NUMBER   7
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   AL112007
500 PM EDT MON SEP 24 2007

SATELLITE IMAGES INDICATE THAT THE CENTER IS NOW NEAR THE SOUTHERN
EDGE OF A SMALL MASS OF DEEP CONVECTION.  THEREFORE WE NEED TO
MAINTAIN THE SYSTEM AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FOR THE TIME BEING. 
HOWEVER A STRONG COLD FRONT IS NEARING THE AREA...AND THE 
ASSOCIATED VIGOROUS EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE SHOULD ABSORB JERRY IN 12
HOURS OR SO.

THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED AND THE
INITIAL MOTION IS NOW 035/20.  JERRY IS FORECAST TO ACCELERATE
NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD IN THE STEERING FLOW AHEAD OF A LARGE
MID-LATITUDE THAT IS APPROACHING 50W.  THE OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST
IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE...AND ALSO CLOSE TO THE DYNAMICAL
MODEL CONSENSUS.
