Tropical Storm CALVIN (Text)

ZCZC MIATCDEP3 ALL
TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM
 
TROPICAL STORM CALVIN DISCUSSION NUMBER   9
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       EP032011
800 AM PDT SAT JUL 09 2011
 
 
THE CLOUD PATTERN HAS CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE AND NOW CONSISTS
OF A SHAPELESS AREA OF WEAKENING CONVECTION. GIVEN THE CURRENT
SATELLITE PRESENTATION...THE INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN LOWERED TO
50 KNOTS...ALTHOUGH DUE TO DVORAK CONSTRAINTS...THE T-NUMBERS 
SUGGEST A STRONGER CYCLONE. CALVIN IS ALREADY OVER COOL WATERS...SO
THE CYCLONE WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO WEAKEN.
 
CALVIN IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST OR 285 DEGREES AT 10
KNOTS AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. IN A DAY OR
SO...THE CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO BE A SHALLOW SYSTEM AND BE STEERED
BY THE WEAKENING LOW-LEVEL FLOW...AS INDICATED BY MOST OF THE
GLOBAL MODELS. THEREFORE...CALVIN OR ITS REMNANTS WILL PROBABLY
DRIFT WESTWARD OR MEANDER UNTIL DISSIPATION.
