Hurricane BETA (Text)

ZCZC MIATCDAT1 ALL
TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM
TROPICAL STORM BETA DISCUSSION NUMBER  16
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
4 PM EST SUN OCT 30 2005
 
BETA CONTINUES TO PUSH FARTHER INLAND WITH AN INITIAL MOTION
ESTIMATED TO BE 260/6.  LOW- TO MID-LEVEL RIDGING TO THE NORTHWEST
OF BETA SHOULD KEEP THE CYCLONE ON A PATH A LITTLE SOUTH OF WEST
UNTIL THE CIRCULATION DISSIPATES OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF WESTERN
NICARAGUA.  IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE COULD BE SOME REGENERATION
AFTER THE REMNANTS OF BETA ENTER THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC BASIN
TOMORROW.
 
EVEN THOUGH BETA IS WEAKENING...THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAINS WILL
CONTINUE OVER NICARAGUA...HONDURAS...AND EL SALVADOR FOR THE NEXT
DAY OR SO...AND THESE RAINS ARE LIKELY TO CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING
FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES.
