 TROPICAL DEPRESSION FAUSTO DISCUSSION NUMBER  27
 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP072008
 200 PM PDT TUE JUL 22 2008
  
 FAUSTO IS NO MORE-O.  THE CYCLONE HAS GONE WITHOUT DEEP
 CONVECTION FOR OVER 12 HOURS AND THUS NO LONGER MEETS THE
 DEFINITION OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE.  A QUIKSCAT PASS AT 1340Z DID
 PROVIDE A FEW RELIABLE 35 KT WINDS IN THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE...BUT
 THE INTENSITY HAS WEAKENED SOMEWHAT SINCE THEN AND IS CURRENTLY
 ANALYZED AT 30 KT.  
 
 FAUSTO IS MOVING AT 290 DEGREES AT 10 KT.  A TRACK TOWARD THE
 WEST-NORTHWEST OR WEST AT THE SAME SPEED SHOULD CONTINUE FOR THE
 NEXT TWO DAYS AS THE LARGE CYCLONE SLOWLY SPINS DOWN OVER COOL
 WATERS.
