TROPICAL STORM HENRIETTE DISCUSSION NUMBER  14
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
2 PM PDT FRI SEP 07 2001
 
DEEP CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DIMINISH.  DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES 
ARE 45 TO 55 KT.  THE WINDS ARE HELD AT 45 KT BASED ON SOME QUIKSCAT 
VECTORS...ALTHOUGH THEY WERE RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF A SWATH AND I AM 
NOT CERTAIN THE WINDS ARE REALLY THIS HIGH.  WATER TEMPERATURES ARE 
NEAR 22 TO 23C AND HENRIETTE IS NOT LIKELY TO HAVE THE CONVECTION 
REQUIRED OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE FOR VERY LONG.  A REMNANT LOW IS 
LIKELY TO PERSIST FOR AT LEAST TWO TO THREE DAYS...HOWEVER.
 
THE INITIAL MOTION IS 275/17.  HENRIETTE IS MAKING A GENTLE TURN 
AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF HURRICANE GIL...WHICH IS ABOUT 400 NM TO ITS 
SOUTH.  THE OFFICIAL TRACK IS A LITTLE SOUTH OF THE PREVIOUS 
ADVISORY AND SIMILAR TO THE SHALLOW BAM.  OF NOTE ARE THE AVN AND 
GFDL MODELS...WHICH TURN HENRIETTE SOUTHWESTWARD MUCH MORE SHARPLY 
THAN THE OFFICIAL FORECAST.
