.DISCUSSION...
RUNNING LATE SO WILL BE BRIEF. MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE THE
REMNANTS OF IVAN. A RECON IS ENROUTE BUT DELAYED AND SHOULD BE
WITHIN THE SYSTEM EARLY THIS EVENING. SATELLITE PRESENTATION HAS
BEEN SHOWING A FLAREUP OF CONVECTION PRIMARILY ON THE NORTHERN SIDE
OF THE SYSTEM WITHIN THE GRADIENT FLOW AND A DEFINITE MID-LEVEL
SWIRL AROUND 26.6N 88.9W WITH VERY LITTLE DEEP CONVECTION ON THE
SOUTH AND WEST SIDE. HURRICANE CENTER HAS ADVISED THAT IF SITUATION
PROMPTS AN UPGRADE OR DESIGNATION...IT WOULD BE NAMED IVAN!
