Podul continues to push inland at a rather brisk pace, and radar data from CMA indicates that its circulation has continued to lose definition. Although Podul is still generating quite a bit of convection mainly to the south of the center near the coast, the circulation has broadened significantly during the past 12 hours. Given how quickly this is occurring, it appears likely that Podul will very shortly become a broad area of low pressure, and so this is the last advisory. The remnants should continue pushing west-northwestward before completely dissipating later tonight or early on Friday.

This is the last advisory on Podul.
