H.  REMARKS...CENTER IS RELOCATED BASED ON SSMIS DATA AND ANIMATED SWIR
IMAGERY. SHEAR HAS RESULTED IN INCREASING SEPARATION BETWEEN THE ACTIVE
DEEP CONVECTION AND THE CIRCULATION CENTER WHICH SSMIS DATA SHOWS IS
BECOMING LESS ORGANIZED. WITH THE ACTIVE DEEP CONVECTION SHEARED WELL
OVER 1.25 DEGREES FROM THE CENTER THE SYSTEM IS TECHNICALLY TOO WEAK TO
CLASSIFY BY DVORAK STANDARDS. THE MET IS 2.5 WHILE THE PT IS 2.0. FT IS
BASED ON CONSTRAINTS LIMITING CHANGES IN FT TO 1.0 OVER 6 HOURS.
