H.  REMARKS...CONVECTION...ALBEIT RELATIVELY SHALLOW...HAS WRAPPED
ITSELF AROUND MUCH MORE OF THE CENTER THAN 6 HOURS AGO.  THE INCREASED
CURVATURE MEASURES 6/10 ON THE LOG10 SPIRAL RESULTING IN A DT OF 3.0. PT
AGREES WHILE MET IS 2.5. FT IS BASED ON DT.  THERE IS SOME SUGGESTION
IN RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY THAT THE LOW AND MID LEVEL CENTERS MAY NOT
BE VERTICALLY ALIGNED...WITH THE LOW LEVEL CENTER BEING SLIGHTLY FARTHER
TO THE SW THAN THE POSITION GIVEN ABOVE.
