STILL...WHAT LITTLE CONVECTION REMAINS IS DISPLACED EAST OF THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION INDICATING STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR HAS NOT ABATED. NANA IS EXPECTED TO EVENTUALLY SUCCUMB TO THE STRONG SHEAR AND THE OFFICIAL FORECAST CALLS FOR THE CYCLONE TO DEGENERATE INTO A REMNANT LOW WITHIN THE NEXT 12-24 HOURS. DISSIPATION IS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW SHORTLY THEREAFTER. NANA HAS BEEN MOVING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD OR 295/10. A MOTION BETWEEN WEST-NORTHWEST AND NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED UNTIL THE CYCLONE...OR ITS REMNANTS...DISSIPATES IN ABOUT TWO DAYS. SINCE NANA'S TRACK HINGES ON HOW LONG IT CAN PRODUCE DEEP CONVECTION...THE OFFICIAL FORECAST ESSENTIALLY SPLITS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SHALLOW AND MEDIUM BETA ADVECTION MODELS.
