H.  REMARKS...NOTE...NO MTSAT IMAGERY AVAILABLE BETWEEN 00-02Z.
MUIFA HAS AN IRREGULAR EYE STRUCTURE. VIS IMAGERY SUGGESTS THERE IS NO
DEEP CONVECTIVE EYEWALL THAT COMPLETELY ENCIRCLES THE EYE BUT RATHER
CONCENTRIC PARTIAL EYEWALLS. THIS IS EVIDENT TO A LESSER DEGREE IN
IR IMAGERY WITH INNER EYEWALL OPEN IN THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE. FOR
DT CONSIDERATION USED MG SURROUNDING TEMP WITH OW EYE AND LG RING FOR
DT=4.5. MET AND PT AGREE. FT IS BASED ON DT.
