TROPICAL STORM DALILA DISCUSSION NUMBER  27
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
8 AM PDT FRI JUL 27 2001
 
DEEP CONVECTION VANISHED OVERNIGHT BUT THERE IS ONE SMALL
CONVECTIVE AREA DEVELOPING AS WE SPEAK.  INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN
REDUCED TO 40 KNOTS...ALTHOUGH DUE TO DVORAK CONSTRAINTS...WIND
ESTIMATES ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.  DALILA IS OVER COOL WATER AND
WEAKENING IS FORECAST BUT...AS USUAL...SOME INTERMITTENT CONVECTION
MAY DEVELOP BEFORE DISSIPATION.

DALILA IS MOVING 280 AT 9 KNOTS AND THIS GENERAL MOTION IS FORECAST 
TO CONTINUE UNTIL DISSIPATION IN A DAY OR SO. A TURN MORE TO THE 
WEST..STEERED BY THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW...IS LIKELY AS THE SYSTEM 
BECOMES SHALLOW.
