TROPICAL DEPRESSION FOURTEEN-E DISCUSSION NUMBER   4
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
8 PM PDT WED OCT 03 2001

DEEP CONVECTION IN THE SYSTEM HAS MARKEDLY DECREASED DURING THE PAST
SEVERAL HOURS.  VISIBLE IMAGERY STILL REVEALS A POORLY-DEFINED
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER...HOWEVER...THIS CIRCULATION IS BEING
DISRUPTED BY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES GENERATED BY THE DISSIPATING
CONVECTION.  THE LACK OF CONVECTION INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS
RAPIDLY WEAKENING.  THE DEPRESSION IS LABORING UNDER STRONG
SUBSIDENCE...AS WELL AS UPPER-LEVEL EASTERLY WIND SHEAR FROM AN
UPPER LOW TO ITS SOUTHWEST AND A LARGE DEEP-LAYER ANTICYCLONE TO ITS
NORTH..

THE SYSTEM NO LONGER HAS ENOUGH CONVECTION TO QUALIFY AS A TROPICAL 
CYCLONE.  ISOLATED CONVECTIVE TOWERS ARE STILL PRESENT NEAR THE 
CIRCULATION CENTER IN VISIBLE IMAGERY... AND INTERMITTENT BURSTS OF 
MOSTLY WEAK CONVECTION ARE POSSIBLE NEAR THE CENTER DURING THE NEXT 
DAY OR TWO.

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE REMNANT LOW PLEASE SEE HIGH SEAS
FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER AWIPS
