TROPICAL DEPRESSION FLOSSIE DISCUSSION NUMBER  32
NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI   EP092007
500 AM HST THU AUG 16 2007

CURRENT SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE 2.0 FROM HFO...JTWC...
AND SAB. THE INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN KEPT AT A GENEROUS 30 KNOTS.
THERE IS A LONE CONVECTIVE CELL ABOUT 100 MILES NORTHEAST OF THE
CENTER OF THE LOW CLOUD SWIRL...BUT OTHERWISE NO SIGN OF LIFE IN
FLOSSIE. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING INTO AN INCREASINGLY HOSTILE UPPER
AIR ENVIRONMENT...WITH SHEAR APPROACHING 50 KNOTS. ALTHOUGH THERE
MAY BE BRIEF...PERIODIC PULSES OF CONVECTION WITH THE REMNANT
CIRCULATION OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO...REGENERATION OF SUSTAINED
CONVECTION NEAR THE CORE OF THE SYSTEM IS UNLIKELY.
 
THIS IS THE LAST DISCUSSION ON FLOSSIE BY THE CENTRAL PACIFIC
HURRICANE CENTER.
