TROPICAL DEPRESSION BLAS DISCUSSION NUMBER  18
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP032010
200 PM PDT MON JUN 21 2010

BLAS HAS NOT BEEN PRODUCING ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION DURING MOST OF
THE DAY...WITH THE EARLIER SCANT CONVECTION NOW DISSIPATED.  THUS
BLAS NO LONGER MEETS THE DEFINITION OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE AND THIS
WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY ON THIS SYSTEM.  THE CIRCULATION OF BLAS
SHOULD GRADUALLY SPIN DOWN OVER THE COOL WATERS AND EVENTUALLY
BECOME JUST A TROUGH IN THE TRADE WINDS IN A FEW DAYS.  GUIDANCE
REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM.  

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE REMNANT LOW PLEASE SEE HIGH 
SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER 
AWIPS HEADER NFDHSFEPI AND WMO HEADER FZPN02 KWBC.
