H.  REMARKS...MI SUITE SHOWS CENTER AT LEADING EDGE OF LARGER CYCLONIC
ENVELOP RAPIDLY MOVING SSW.  CONVECTION APPEARS NICELY BANDED AND
HAS CYCLONIC SHAPE WITHIN VISIBLE IMAGERY BUT OVERALL SPEED MAY NOT BE
ALLOWING LOW LEVEL CENTER TO ACTUALLY BECOME A CLOSED LOW LEVEL CENTER. AS
SUCH .45 BANDING WOULD YIELD 2.5 BUT MAY BE A BIT TOO HIGH ATTM AND IS
REJECTED. MET IS 1.5 AS THE SYSTEM LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY AT THIS
TIME...MAYBE SLIGHTLY BETTER IN VIS. PT IS 2.0. AS SUCH FT IS BASED ON PT.
