CELIA HAS BEEN DEVOID OF DEEP CONVECTION FOR MORE THAN 12 HOURS
NOW...THE COOL WATERS HAVING REDUCED IT TO A SWIRL OF LOW CLOUDS.
EVEN THOUGH CELIA IS BEING DECLARED A REMNANT LOW...SATELLITE
PICTURES AND AN EARLIER ASCAT PASS INDICATED THAT THE ASSOCIATED
CIRCULATION REMAINS FAIRLY VIGOROUS. THE INITIAL WIND SPEED
ESTIMATE IS HELD AT 30 KT...BUT A GRADUAL DECREASE IN INTENSITY IS
EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO BECAUSE THE CYCLONE WILL CONTINUE
MOVING OVER COOL WATERS.
 
CELIA HAS BEEN DRIFTING EASTWARD AND THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS
080/2...THOUGH RECENT SATELLITE PICTURES SUGGEST A MORE EAST-
NORTHEASTWARD MOTION.  THE REMNANT LOW OF CELIA IS BEING STEERED BY
ANOMALOUS LOW-LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW THAT PREVAILS OVER THE EASTERN
PACIFIC WEST OF ABOUT 125 WEST LONGITUDE.  EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS
FLOW...THE LOW SHOULD CONTINUE ON A GENERAL EAST-NORTHEASTWARD
COURSE UNTIL DISSIPATION DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.

THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY ON CELIA.  FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON
THE REMNANT LOW PLEASE SEE HIGH  SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER AWIPS HEADER NFDHSFEPI AND WMO
HEADER FZPN02 KWBC.
