NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       AL192011
500 PM AST FRI NOV 11 2011
 
SEAN IS QUICKLY LOSING TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS. VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGES SHOW STABLE STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS ENTRAINING INTO THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CIRCULATION. THIS STABLE AIR IS ALSO EVIDENT
IN SURFACE OBSERVATIONS...WITH THE DEWPOINT IN BERMUDA FALLING
ABOUT 3C DURING THE LAST FEW HOURS. MEANWHILE...A RAGGED CURVED
BAND OF CONVECTION STILL EXISTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE
CIRCULATION...AND THAT IS THE BASIS FOR MAINTAINING ADVISORIES ON
THIS SYSTEM. NONETHELESS...SEAN IS EXPECTED TO BECOME POST-TROPICAL
SOON AND WILL LIKELY BE ABSORBED BY A COLD FRONT...WHICH IS NOW
VERY NEAR THE CYCLONE...TONIGHT OR EARLY SATURDAY.
 
SEAN IS RACING NORTHEASTWARD AND SHOULD CONTINUE MOVING IN THAT
DIRECTION OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC UNTIL DISSIPATION.
