MATTHEW HAS WEAKENED TO A REMNANT LOW AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN MOVING WESTWARD WITH A GRADUALLY DECREASING FORWARD SPEED. OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO...THE REMNANT OF MATTHEW WILL LIKELY BECOME EMBEDDED WITHIN A BROAD CYCLONIC GYRE EXTENDING FROM THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN WESTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN CENTRAL AMERICA.

EVEN THOUGH THE LOW IS NO LONGER A TROPICAL CYCLONE THE SYSTEM...IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BROAD CYCLONIC GYRE...WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE TORRENTIAL RAINS OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
