TROPICAL DEPRESSION ELIDA DISCUSSION NUMBER  31

DEEP CONVECTION IS GONE AND ELIDA HAS BEEN REDUCED TO A SWIRL OF LOW
CLOUDS AND CIRRUS DEBRIS.  THE SYSTEM IS OVER RATHER COOL WATERS
AND CONVECTION APPEARS UNLIKELY TO RESUME TODAY...SO ELIDA WILL
LIKELY BE DECLARED A REMNANT LOW LATER TODAY.

ELIDA CONTINUES MOVING GENERALLY WESTWARD OR 265/10.  LITTLE CHANGE
IN THE HEADING WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED ARE
FORECAST AS THE SYSTEM SLIDES ALONG IN THE LOW-LEVEL TRADE WIND
FLOW.  IT IS UNCERTAIN JUST HOW LONG A CLOSED CIRCULATION WILL
LAST...BUT BASED ON THE MODEL GUIDANCE THE OFFICIAL FORECAST
CARRIES A REMNANT LOW THROUGH 72 HOURS.
