THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION IS BECOMING LESS DISTINCT AND DEEP
CONVECTION IS LIMITED TO A FEW CELLS OVER THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE.
CONSEQUENTLY...DVORAK-T-NUMBERS HAVE DECREASED. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY HAS BEEN LOWERED TO 25 KNOTS AND BECAUSE THE SHEAR IS
FORECAST TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY...THE DEPRESSION SHOULD BECOME A
REMNANT LOW IN ABOUT 24 HOURS OR SOONER. 

THE DEPRESSION IS DRIFTING EASTWARD ABOUT 2 KNOTS. STEERING CURRENTS
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VERY LIGHT AND NO SIGNIFICANT MOTION IS
ANTICIPATED UNTIL DISSIPATION.
