SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE CENTER OF TAMMY CONTINUES TO

DEPICTS RAINBANDS WELL TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE CENTER ARE
STILL COMING ONSHORE ALONG PORTIONS OF THE COASTS OF GEORGIA AND
SOUTH CAROLINA.  VARIOUS SHIPS AND BUOYS CONTINUE TO REPORT
SUSTAINED WINDS AT OR NEAR TROPICAL STORM FORCE WITHIN THESE
BANDS... SO TAMMY REMAINS A 35 KT TROPICAL STORM... AND A TROPICAL
STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE GEORGIA AND
SOUTH CAROLINA COASTS.
 
TAMMY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST WITH A
GRADUAL DECREASE IN FORWARD SPEED.  THE CYCLONE SHOULD DEGENERATE
INTO A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LATER TODAY... AND THE
CIRCULATION IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE OR BECOME ABSORBED INTO AN
APPROACHING FRONTAL ZONE WITHIN ABOUT 24 HOURS.
