 Post-Tropical Cyclone Kristy Discussion Number  19
 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP132018
 800 AM PDT Sat Aug 11 2018
 
 Cold waters and wind shear have taken a toll on Kristy.  The cloud
 pattern has degenerated considerably, and it now consists of a
 tight swirl of low clouds with some patches of mid- to high-level
 clouds. It is estimated that the winds have decreased to 30 kt with
 some isolated spots of higher gusts. The cyclone will continue over
 cold waters, and although regeneration is not anticipated, some
 intermittent showers could still develop before dissipation occurs
 in a couple of days.
 
 Since the post-tropical cyclone is a shallow system, it is now being
 steered toward the west-northwest or 300 degrees at 4 kt by the
 low-level trade winds. This general motion with a gradual turn to
 the west is anticipated during the next day or so.
 
 This is the last advisory issued by NHC on this system.
