AN EARLIER SSMI MICROWAVE OVERPASS AND ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY

COVERAGE...CONTINUES TO INTERMITTENTLY BURST OVER THE CIRCULATION
CENTER.  SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES HAVE DECREASED TO 25 KT AND
THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET AT 25 KT.  COOLER WATERS SHOULD INDUCE
A WEAKENING CAUSING GIL TO BECOME A REMNANT LOW DURING THE NEXT 12
HOURS...FINALLY DISSIPATING IN 3 DAYS.
 
THE ESTIMATED INITIAL MOTION IS A PERSISTENT 285/8...AND THE CYCLONE
SHOULD CONTINUE IN THIS GENERAL MOTION WITHIN THE DEEP EASTERLIES
UNTIL DISSIPATION.
