HARVEY IS MOVING OVER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES OF 24 CELSIUS OR LESS
AND LACKS CONVECTION NEAR THE EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CENTER.  THE CLOUD
PATTERN IS ASYMMETRIC AND IS GRADUALLY MERGING WITH A MIDLATITUDE
CLOUD BAND.  EVEN THOUGH IT IS BECOMING EXTRATROPICAL... EX-HARVEY

HARVEY HAS BEGUN TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN AS EXPECTED... AND THE INITIAL
MOTION ESTIMATE IS 055/17.  WHILE THE STORM IS WELL-EMBEDDED IN THE
MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES... MOST OF THE DYNAMICAL MODELS INDICATE THAT
HARVEY WILL CONTINUE TO SLOW DOWN AND PERHAPS MEANDER JUST
NORTHWEST OF THE AZORES LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD.  WHILE THE
UKMET IS THE OUTLIER TAKING HARVEY QUICKLY TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST...
THE GFS... NOGAPS... AND GFDL SHOW A GRADUAL TURN TO THE SOUTHEAST
BEYOND DAY 3... AS DOES THE OFFICIAL FORECAST.
