H.  REMARKS...PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION (CDO) WELL NW OF THE PRIOR
CENTER LOCATION HAS LEAD TO LOWERING OF SFC PRESSURES AND CONSOLIDATION
OF LL FLOW FOR A NEW LLC TO DEVELOP NEAR THE CDO.  CDO MEASURES ABOUT
1.1 DEGREES FOR CF OF 2.0 WITH NW TO N WRAPPING BAND ADDS .5 FOR A DT OF
2.5. USING LOG10 SPIRAL .4 DEGREES OF BANDING WOULD YIELD SIMILAR RESULTS.
MET IS 2.0. PT IS 2.0.  FT IS BASED ON MET EVEN THOUGH DT IS SOLID.
THIS IS DUE TO TWO FACTORS: LARGE DEPARTURE FROM PRIOR CENTER LOCATION
AND INCONSISTENCY OVER THE LIFE CYCLE OF 96A...RAISING FT 1.0/6HRS SEEMS
UNWISE ATTM.
