ALTHOUGH THIS SMALL AREA OF CONVECTION IS NOT VERY WELL ORGANIZED...THE CYCLONE IS MAINTAINED AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FOR A BIT LONGER. RECENT ASCAT DATA INDICATE THAT THE MAXIMUM WINDS ARE AROUND 30 KT. NARDA IS FORECAST TO REMAIN WITHIN UNFAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC CONDITIONS AND WESTERLY VERTICAL SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS SHOULD CAUSE THE CYCLONE TO WEAKEN...AND NARDA IS EXPECTED TO DEGENERATE TO A REMNANT LOW LATER THIS MORNING AND DISSIPATE IN A FEW DAYS. RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGES AND THE ASCAT DATA INDICATE THAT NARDA HAS SLOWED DOWN AND TURNED WESTWARD. THE REMNANT LOW SHOULD TURN WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD LATER TODAY IN THE LOW-LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY TRADES OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC. THE UPDATED TRACK FORECAST HAS BEEN ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY TO BE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS.
