NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI   CP092015

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.
