 ABOUT 20 TO 25 KNOTS.  THE SYSTEM HAS NO SIGNIFICANT DEEP

 RATHER THAN CONTINUE THIS AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION WE WILL DECLARE
 IT EXTRATROPICAL AT THIS TIME.
  
 THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 010/17.  THE SYSTEM IS BEGINNING TO
 TURN TOWARD THE NORTHEAST AND SHOULD MERGE WITH AN APPROACHING
 SHORT WAVE FROM THE WEST.
