TROPICAL DEPRESSION DANIEL DISCUSSION NUMBER  46
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
11 AM HST THU AUG 03 2000

DEEP CONVECTION IS SOUTH OF THE EXPOSED CIRCULATION OF DANIEL AS THE
SYSTEM CONTINUES ITS TRACK NORTHWESTWARD INTO COLDER WATERS.  DANIEL
IS EXPECTED TO TURN NORTHWARD AND ACCELERATE AS IT FEELS THE
INFLUENCE OF THE WESTERLIES. DISSIPATION IS LIKELY IN 36 HOURS.  

THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK CLOSELY FOLLOWS THE GFDL AND UKMET
GUIDANCE...AND IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST TRACK.  SINCE THE
SYSTEM IS WEAK...BAMD AND BAMM ARE TOO FAR TO THE WEST...WHILE BAMS
IS CLOSER TO THE FORECAST TRACK.
