H.  REMARKS...SERIES OF MICROWAVE PASSES WAS HELPFUL IN POSITIONING
THE CENTER AND REVEALED THAT THE CENTER WAS EXPOSED JUST WEST OF ACTIVE
DEEP CONVECTION. ANIMATED EIR IMAGERY SUGGESTS THE CENTER IS CURRENTLY
LESS THAN 1/3 DEGREE INTO THE ACTIVE CONVECTION RESULTING IN A DT OF
3.0. PT IS 2.5. THE FT IS BASED ON A MET OF 2.5 BECAUSE UNCERTAINTY IN
THE PRECISE LOCATION OF THE CENTER MAKES THE DT LESS THAN CLEAR CUT.
