EASTERLY SHEAR HAS TAKEN A TOLL ON THE DEPRESSION.  NIGHTTIME
VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS THE EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CENTER OF THE CYCLONE
MORE THAN TWO DEGREES REMOVED FROM THE NEAREST DEEP CONVECTION. WITH
THE DEPRESSION ENCOUNTERING MODERATE EASTERLY SHEAR...A STABLE AIR
MASS...AND COOLER WATERS...A GRADUAL SPIN-DOWN OF THE VORTEX IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.  THE INITIAL MOTION
ESTIMATE IS 305/7...SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT OF THE PREVIOUS ONE.  NOW
A SHALLOW SYSTEM...THE REMNANT LOW SHOULD BE STEERED BY THE LOW-
LEVEL FLOW RESULTING IN A WEST-NORTHWESTWARD MOTION UNTIL
DISSIPATION.
