H.  REMARKS...CONVECTION WRAPS .95 ON LOG10 SPIRAL BUT IS NEARLY
CONTINUOUSLY WHITE OR COLDER FOR DT OF 4.0. VIS IMAGERY AND EIR SHOWS
THAT CONVECTION IS MORE SPOTTY WITH NUMEROUS OVERSHOOTING TOPS LEADING
TO A BANDED EYE FEATURE.  MI SUITE GAVE VERY GOOD CONFIDENCE IN FORWARD
SPEED AND LOCATION FOR HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN LOCATION ASSIGNMENT.
MET IS 3.5. AND PT IS 3.5. FT IS BASED ON MET AS DT WOULD BREAK RULES
OF DEVELOPING 1.5/06HRS.  AND THOUGH SYSTEM IS CLEARLY TRENDING TOWARD
RAPID INTENSIFICATION IT IS NOT QUITE A SOLID 4.0.
