CARLOS HAS A SMALL AND POORLY-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION BUT IS
STILL PRODUCING SOME DEEP CONVECTION.  THE SYSTEM IS ON THE VERGE OF
BECOMING A REMNANT LOW...AND WILL LIKELY BE DECLARED AS SUCH LATER
TODAY.

THE INITIAL MOTION IS NEAR 270/14.  A GENERAL WESTWARD MOTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOLLOWING THE LOW-LEVEL EASTERLIES UNTIL THE
SYSTEM DISSIPATES.
