2. 12 hour summary and analysis.
   A. Tropical depression (td) 01w (noname) was downgraded to a TD on
the previous warning based on weakening deep convection and decreasing
Dvorak intensity estimates ranging from 25 to 35 knots. The system has
tracked south-southwestward over the past 12 hours and weakened
slightly with animated multispectral imagery depicting a partially-
exposed low-level circulation center (LLCC) displaced east of an area
of deep convection. Animated water vapor imagery indicates good pole-
Ward outflow ahead of a strong upper-level trough situated over
eastern Asia which is helping sustain isolated deep convection. There
is no evidence of significant dry air entrainment based on the latest
total precipitable water product although cooler, drier air is wrap-
ping around the eastern periphery of the system.
   B. TD 01w continues to track under the low- to mid-level sub-
tropical ridge west and northwest of the system. There is high con-
fidence in the current position which is based on a partially-
exposed LLCC and a well-defined center in the 142352z SSMI 37 ghz
image. The current intensity is based on Dvorak estimates of 25
knots from pgtw and knes and is supported by a 142235z quikscat
image showing 25-knot unflagged winds near the center. There are
also 30-knot winds on the western, outer periphery resulting from
enhanced flow between the system and a surface high located near
7n 107e.
3. Forecast reasoning
   a. There is no significant change in track philosophy, however,
the system has tracked more southward than previous forecasts
reflected. Additionally, the current forecast extends only to tau
24 indicating higher confidence in the dissipation scenario.  
   B. TD 01w will continue tracking south-southwestward through
the period. This forecast is positioned slightly south of the
consensus, closer to the Superior performing dynamic models
that include NOGAPS, GFS and EGRR. WBAR continues to remain the
sole outlier and indicates a westward track which is highly un-
realistic. The system is forecast to continue weakening and
should dissipate by tau 24 over water due to cooler SST, low
ocean heat content and increasing vertical wind shear.
