ALSO WHAT CONVECTION THERE IS LEFT HAS WARMED CONSIDERABLY. A 21Z QUIKSCAT PASS SHOWS MAX WINDS NEAR 50 KT AND DVORAK ESTIMATES ARE 45 KT OR LESS. SO THE INITIAL WIND SPEED IS REDUCED TO 50 KT. THE CENTER IS OVER THE 20 DEG SST ISOTHERM OR LESS AND THE WESTERLY VERTICAL SHEAR IS A WHOPPING 40 KT. SO LISA SHOULD CONTINUE TO WEAKEN. THE INITIAL MOTION IS 060/23. LISA IS BEING SWEPT ALONG IN THE WESTERLIES AND WILL LIKELY ACCELERATE ITS FORWARD SPEED AND IS EXPECTED TO BE ABSORBED BY A FRONTAL SYSTEM IN ABOUT 24 HOURS. THERE ARE MIXED SIGNALS ON THE STORMS THERMAL STRUCTURE. BOB HARTS FSU CYCLONE PHASE ANALYSIS USING THE GFS AND CANADIAN 12Z MODEL RUNS ANALYSES A COLD CORE STRUCTURE...WHILE THE UKMET IS WARM CORE AND THE NOGAPS IS NEUTRAL.
