 SMALL TROPICAL STORM KRISTY IS GRADUALLY SPINNING DOWN. DEEP
 CONVECTION IS LIMITED TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CIRCULATION
 AND T-NUMBERS HAVE CONTINUE TO DECREASE. INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN
 LOWERED TO 45 KNOTS. KRISSY IS VERY NEAR A STABLE ENVIRONMENT SO A
 GRADUAL WEAKENING IS FORECAST.
 
 THE CYCLONE HAS BEEN MOVING LITTLE...WITH PERHAPS A SMALL WESTWARD
 DRIFT. MOST OF THE GUIDANCE SUGGEST THAT THE STEERING CURRENTS ARE
 WEAK SO ONLY A SMALL WESTWARD DRIFT IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT DAY
