Remnants Of Moke Discussion Number  20

Based on recent proxy-visible satellite images, the ill-defined 
circulation of Moke does not appear to be closed. A lack of tightly 
curved cloud lines on the south side of the system suggests that 
Moke has likely opened up into a trough. In addition, the sporadic 
bursts of convection noted earlier today have collapsed during the 
past several hours. Since Moke no longer meets the criteria of a 
tropical cyclone, this will be the final NHC advisory on the system. 
There are still likely 25 to 30-kt winds occurring to the north of 
the trough axis. The remnants of Moke are expected to move generally 
westward while gradually weakening over the next day or so.

This is the final NHC advisory on the remnants of Moke. For 
additional information, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the 
National Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI, WMO header 
FZPN01 KWBC, and on the web at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFEPI.php
