H.  REMARKS...A LLCC CHARACTERIZED BY CIRCULARLY DEFINED CLOUD LINES THAT

LIES OVER 75 NMI FROM A VERY SMALL AREA OF ACTIVE CONVECTION RESULTS IN A

DT OF 1.0. THE MET IS LESS THAN 1.0 BASED ON A WEAKENING TREND IN APPARENT

INTENSITY OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. THE PT IS ALSO LESS THAN 1.0. THE FT IS

BASED ON CONSTRAINTS LIMITING CHANGE IN INTENSITY OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS

TO 1.0 T NUMBERS. THE DT IS REJECTED DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN PRECISE CENTER

LOCATION WITH FURTHER EXPLANANTION BELOW. THE LLCC HAS DISASSOCIATED FROM

THE LARGER AREA OF CONVECTION WITH WHICH IT HAD BEEN COUPLED. OF NOTE IS

THE APPEARANCE OF A SECOND DEVELOPING LLCC OR SATELLITE VORTEX CLOSER TO

THE AFOREMENTIONED LARGER AREA OF CONVECTION AT (14.0S, 108.6W). THIS

SECOND LLCC ALSO APPEARS ON THE 2036Z SSMI/S IMAGE AND WOULD IMPLY A

SLIGHTLY STRONGER SYSTEM IF IT IS BECOMING THE DOMINANT LLCC.
