 26. 51E. RAINSHOWERS WERE REPORTED NEAR THIS LOW AS LT MOVED UNDER
 THE SUBTROPICAL JET. OOZ FNOC VORT PACKAGE INITIALIZED WELL WITH WV.
 IMAGERY. GUIDANCE SHOWS SERIES OF SHORT WAVES IN THE STJ FLOW
 WHICH SHOULD THICKEN CI/AC AT INTERVALS OVER CNTRL SAUDI ARABIA AND
 THE NORTHERN PERSIAN GULF. ISOLD RASH IS EXPECTED AGAIN IN THE WN
 MTNS OF SAUDI ARABIA AND IN THE GULF. WE DETERMINED IHAT YESTERDAYS
 OUTBREAK OF GUSTY SFC WINDS IN THE NRN AOR WAS THE RESULT OF THE
 PASSAGE OF A SFC LOW. ANALYSIS TODAY REVEALS NO SUCH FEATURE AND
 MODELS DONT HINT AT IT, SO WINDS IN THE NRM AOR SHOULD BE LIGHTER
 THAN DAYS PAST. WINDS ON THE PERSAIN GULF COAST, HOWEVER WILL BE
 GUSTY AS THE LOW IN THAT REGION CONTINUES T0 MOVE SOUTH.
