ARE 65 KT...55 KT...AND 55 KT RESPECTIVELY. A WARM SPOT IS PRESENT
NEAR THE CENTER...BUT IS NOT YET GOOD ENOUGH LOOKING TO CALL AN EYE.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT WEDNESDAY XXX XX, XXXX
POST RECONNAISSANCE SATELLITE PICTURES THIS AFTERNOON HAVE SHOWN ARC
CLOUDS WHICH MAY INDICATE 12 HOURS OR SO OF LITTLE CHANGE IN
STRENGTH. ACTUALLY... THE PULSATING SYSTEM STILL HAS TO GO THROUGH
ONE MORE NIGHT OF SOMEWHAT HOSTILE WINDS ALOFT. IF XXXXX IS NOT
TOO DAMAGED AFTER THAT... THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR STRENGTHENING FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS 295/18 KNOTS. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS A
BLEND OF QLM...THE BAM RUNS...AND NHC90. AVN GUIDANCE INDICATES
RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AND NORTH OF XXXXXX LATE IN
THE PERIOD WITH XXXXX EXPECTED TO BE JUST SOUTH OF THE RIDGE AXIS.
WHILE THIS SCENARIO WOULD TEND TO SUPPORT CONTINUED SLOW WESTWARD
MOTION BEYOND THIS FORECAST...IT IS MUCH TOO EARLY TO SPECULATE
WHETHER XXXXXX WILL MAKE LANDFALL...IF AT ALL.
