NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
10 PM EST SUN OCT 30 2005

BETA CONTINUES TO MOVE WESTWARD OVER LAND...AND THE SURFACE
CIRCULATION IS DISSIPATING OVER THE ELEVATED TERRAIN OF NICARAGUA. 
WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO ITS NORTH AND NORTHWEST...THE REMNANT MID- TO
LOWER TROPOSPHERIC VORTICITY SHOULD MOVE WESTWARD OR
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AND ENTER THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC BASIN
TOMORROW.  THERE IS SOME POSSIBILITY OF REGENERATION OVER THAT
BASIN DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

EVEN THOUGH BETA IS DISSIPATING...THERE IS STILL A THREAT OF
ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINS OVER NICARAGUA...HONDURAS...AND EL SALVADOR
FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO...AND THESE RAINS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES.

THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY ON BETA.  SHOULD THE SYSTEM REGENERATE
OVER THE EAST PACIFIC...IT WOULD BE ASSIGNED A NEW NUMBER AND/OR
NAME.
