 500 AM HST FRI JAN 01 2016
  
 DEEP CONVECTION FLARED UP DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS NEAR THE
 LOCATION WHERE TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINE-C APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN
 EARLIER TONIGHT. HOWEVER...AN 0855Z ASCAT PASS OVER THIS ELONGATED
 AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION REVEALED A ROUGHLY EAST-NORTHEAST TO
 WEST-SOUTHWEST ORIENTED SURFACE TROUGH WITH NO WELL DEFINED
 LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. THERE WAS A NEARLY 150 MILE WIDE BAND
 OF LIGHT WEST WINDS DUE SOUTH OF THE SURFACE TROUGH...WHILE A BELT
 OF SLIGHTLY STRONGER EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WAS NORTH OF THE
 TROUGH. THE STRONGEST WINDS...AROUND 25 KT...WERE LOCATED NEARLY 120
 NM NORTH OF THE TROUGH AXIS. IN ADDITION TO THIS ASCAT PASS...NONE
 OF THE THREE SATELLITE FIX AGENCIES...JTWC...SAB OR PHFO...WAS ABLE
 TO PROVIDE A CENTER FIX OR CLASSIFY THE SYSTEM AS OF 1200Z THIS
 MORNING. AS A RESULT OF THE ASCAT DATA AND THE LACK OF
 CLASSIFICATIONS FROM THESE AGENCIES...NINE-C HAS DISSIPATED AND THIS
 WILL BE THE FINAL ADVISORY ISSUED FOR THIS SYSTEM...UNLESS
 REGENERATION OCCURS.
