    Note: The latest elset shows it running 43 sec late against yesterday's
    forecast. I show the decay northbound over the E Pacific just after
    the end of the final predicted rev above. If it survives, it passes
    over Houston, Texas, at 04:10 UTC and N of Jacksonville, Florida, at
    04:14.
