800 AM PDT MON SEP 17 2012

KRISTY HAS BEEN DEVOID OF DEEP CONVECTION FOR ABOUT 12 HOURS...AND
IS THEREFORE BEING DESIGNATED AS A POST-TROPICAL REMNANT LOW. 
BASED ON THE EARLIER SCATTEROMETER OBSERVATIONS...THE INTENSITY IS
KEPT AT 30 KT FOR THIS ADVISORY.  THE CYCLONE SHOULD CONTINUE TO
SPIN DOWN...AND DISSIPATE ENTIRELY IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

THE LOW CONTINUES TO TURN TO THE RIGHT AND IS NOW MOVING AT ABOUT
340/5. THE CYCLONE SHOULD MOVE SLOWLY AROUND THE NORTHWESTERN
PERIPHERY OF A LOW- TO MID-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE WEST OF SOUTHERN BAJA
CALIFORNIA UNTIL DISSIPATION. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS CLOSE TO THE
PREVIOUS ONE AND IS ABOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK GUIDANCE.

THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY ON THIS SYSTEM. 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 FZPN01 KWBC.
