WTPA45 PHFO 030233 TCDCP5 REMNANTS OF MADELINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 31 NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI EP142016 500 PM HST FRI SEP 02 2016 An ASCAT pass at 2020 UTC showed that Madeline no longer has a closed circulation and that it has opened up to a trough despite the well-defined low cloud swirl in the satellite images. As a result, Madeline is no longer considered to be a tropical cyclone. Given that the existing moderate to strong vertical shear and the dry mid-level conditions are expected to remain in place, Madeline is not expected to re-develop. The GFS and ECMWF support this as well. This is the last advisory issued by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center on Madeline. Additional information on this system can be found in the High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service in Honolulu under AWIPS header HFOHSFNP and WMO header FZPN40 PHFO.
