FORECAST REMAINS UNCHANGED FORM THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY. ISELLE IS
EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN INTO A NON-CONVECTIVE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO...WITH THE EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION BEING STEERED MORE WESTWARD BY AN EAST-WEST ORIENTED
RIDGE SITUATED TO THE NORTH OF THE CYCLONE.
 
ALTHOUGH WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND SATELLITE-DERIVED WINDS INDICATE
