For systems with a 24-Hour Trend of "D" or "W", determine Pattern Evolution	- Slow (+/- .5)    Normal (+/- 1.0)  + Rapid (+/- 1.5)	Apply appropriate number to Final-T from 24 hours ago.
Go to Step 6	Example 1: You believe the storm is developing rapidly.  24 hours ago, the Final T# was 2.0.  For "rapid development", you add 1.5 to the Final T# from 24 hours ago.  This would give you a Model Expected T Number (MET) of 3.5.	Example 2: You believe the storm is weaking slowly.  24 hours ago, the Final T# was 5.5.  For "slow weakening", you subtract 0.5 from the Final T# from 24 hours ago.  This would give you a Model Expected T Number (MET) of 5.0.
Example 3: You believe the storm is steady - neither developing nor weakening.  24 hours ago, the Final T# was 3.0.  For "steady state", you add 0.0 to the Final T# from 24 hours ago.  This would give you a Model Expected T Number (MET) of 3.0.	Example 4: You believe the storm is developing slowly.  24 hours ago, the Final T# was 2.0.  For "slow development", you add 0.5 to the Final T# from 24 hours ago.  This would give you a Model Expected T Number (MET) of 2.5.	Example 5: You believe the storm is weakening rapidly.  24 hours ago, the Final T# was 4.0.  For "rapid weakening", you subtract 1.5 from the Final T# from 24 hours ago.  This would give you a Model Expected T Number (MET) of 2.5.
