Hurricane DANNY (Text)

ZCZC MIATCDAT5 ALL
TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM
TROPICAL DEPRESSION DANNY DISCUSSION NUMBER  18
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT SUN JUL 20 2003
 
THE INITIAL MOTION IS 130/15.  THE TRACK FORECAST PHILOSOPHY REMAINS
THE SAME AS IN PREVIOUS ADVISORIES WITH THE SYSTEM MOVING AROUND A
NEARLY STATIONARY DEEP-LAYER ANTICYCLONE FOR THE NEXT 5 DAYS.  ALL
OF THE DYNAMICAL GUIDANCE MODELS SHOW THIS SCENARIO AND SO DOES THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST.
 
THERE IS LITTLE CONVECTION REMAINING AND IT IS FAR SOUTHEAST OF THE
LOW LEVEL CLOUD CENTER.  THE INITIAL WIND SPEED IS REDUCED TO 30
KNOTS BASES ON DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES AND A CONTINUATION OF THE
ONGOING WEAKENING TREND.  AS THE REMNANT LOW MOVES SOUTH AND THEN
WEST ...IT WILL ENCOUNTER WARMER WATER AND LESS VERTICAL
SHEAR...BUT ALL GUIDANCE CALLS FOR NOTHING MORE THAN A REMNANT LOW
FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.  THIS WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY.  FUTURE
INFORMATION WILL BE CONTAINED IN THE HIGH SEAS FORECAST FROM THE
OCEAN PREDICTION CENTER UNDER AWIPS HEADER NFDHSFAT1 AND WMO HEADER
FZNT01 KWBC..
