200 PM PDT SAT AUG 11 2012
 
GILMA IS A SWIRL OF LOW CLOUDS THAT HAS BEEN DEVOID OF DEEP
CONVECTION FOR ABOUT 15 HOURS...AND IT IS NOW A POST-TROPICAL
REMNANT LOW. HOWEVER...SINCE THE CYCLONE HAD A VIGOROUS CIRCULATION
EARLIER...WINDS COULD STILL BE AT 30 KNOTS. THESE WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO SUBSIDE DURING THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. 
 
THE REMNANT LOW IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST AT 5 KNOTS. NOW
THAT GILMA IS A SHALLOW SYSTEM...IT IS EXPECTED TO BE STEERED MORE
TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST BY THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW UNTIL DISSIPATION.

THIS WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE
CENTER ON GILMA.
