SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS THAT THE CIRCULATION OF
TROPICAL DEPRESSION EIGHT HAS WEAKENED TO AN ELONGATED TROUGH WITH
SEVERAL EMBEDDED VORTICITY CENTERS.  WHILE THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO
PRODUCE CONVECTION THAT IS CLASSIFIABLE USING THE DVORAK
TECHNIQUE...IT NO LONGER HAS A WELL-ENOUGH DEFINED CIRCULATION TO
BE CONSIDERED A TROPICAL DEPRESSION.  THE REMNANT TROUGH OR
TROPICAL WAVE IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING NORTHWESTWARD FOR THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY ISSUED ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE NATIONAL
HURRICANE CENTER UNLESS REGENERATION OCCUR.
