MARTY HAS BEEN VOID OF ORGANIZED DEEP CONVECTION SINCE AROUND 0500
UTC...AND THEREFORE IS BEING DECLARED A REMNANT LOW. MARTY STILL HAS
A WELL-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION THAT SHOULD PERSIST FOR A
COUPLE OF DAYS...AND MAY PRODUCE INTERMITTENT BURSTS OF CONVECTION.
THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS HELD AT 25 KT...AND A SLOW WEAKENING IS
EXPECTED THROUGH DISSIPATION. 

THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 290/10. AS MARTY MOVES TO THE SOUTH
OF THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC...A TURN TOWARD THE
WEST AND EVENTUALLY SOUTH OF DUE WEST IS EXPECTED UNTIL THE LOW
DISSIPATES. THE NEW OFFICIAL FORECAST IS A BLEND OF THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST AND THE TVCN MODEL CONSENSUS. 

THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER ON
MARTY. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE REMNANT LOW PLEASE SEE
