HENCE...THE TROPICAL CYCLONE HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED TO A DEPRESSION AND ALL TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED. HOWEVER...GALE WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT ALONG PORTIONS OF THE CAROLINAS IN ANTICIPATION OF ALBERTO'S RE-STRENGTHENING AS AN EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE. ALBERTO HAS ACCELERATED DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS AND THE INITIAL MOTION IS NOW 040/18. A DEEP-LAYER LAYER TROUGH DIGGING SOUTH FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION SHOULD HELP THE CYCLONE TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE TO THE NORTHEAST. ALBERTO IS QUICKLY LOSING TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION SHOULD OCCUR IN THE NEXT 6-12 HOURS WITH ADDITIONAL INTENSIFICATION FORECAST ONCE THE SYSTEM RE-EMERGES OVER WATER. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY WITH ONLY A SLIGHT SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND WEST IN THE EARLY PERIODS. THE TRACK FORECAST BEYOND 48 HOURS IS A BLEND OF THE GFS AND UKMET MODEL SOLUTIONS.
