REMARKS:
100300Z4 POSITION 15.4S0 120.0E3
TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS. THE
WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON 092330Z7 VISIBLE
AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THIS SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED
RAPIDLY OVER THE LAST 06 HOURS WITH ABUNDANT DEEP CONVECTION
OVER THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER AND GOOD UPPER-LEVEL
OUTFLOW IN ALL QUADRANTS. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE
TOWARD THE WEST-SOUTHWEST UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A
WEAK SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S IS ANTICIPATED
TO INTENSIFY STEADILY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND LACK OF VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 100000Z1 IS 10 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 101500Z7 (DTG 101355Z5) AND 110300Z5
(DTG 110155Z3). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 20S (ANACELLE)
WARNINGS (WTXS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 21S WARNING (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR THE FINAL

REMARKS:
101500Z7 POSITION 15.8S4 118.2E2
LATEST ANIMATED INFRARED SATTELITE IMAGERY SHOWS TROPICAL
CYCLONE 22S HAS INTENSIFIED SLIGHTLY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AND
IS MOVING TOWARDS THE WEST AT 10 KNOTS. THE WARNING POSITION
IS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF 101130Z6 INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND 101056Z3 MICROWAVE IMAGERY. THE CURRENT WIND RADII
IS BASED ON A 40 KNOT SHIP REPORT IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THE SYSTEM
REMAINS ORGANIZED, HOWEVER, THE CENTRAL CONVECTION APPEARS TO
BE FLUCTUATING IN INTENSITY AND AREAL CONVERAGE. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 22S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE ON A MOSTLY WESTERLY TRACK
THROUGH THE 12 HOUR PERIOD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGING TO THE SOUTH. AS THE RIDGING IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST, TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S IS
FORECAST TO TRACK MORE IN A WEST-SOUTHWEST DIRECTION. THE
SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY THROUGH THE 36 HOUR FORECAST.
AFTERWARDS IT IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY AS IT ENCOUNTERS
INCREASING WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
101200Z4 IS 13 FEET. REFER TO WWIO31 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA
HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS AT 110300Z5 (DTG 110155Z3)

REMARKS:
111500Z8 POSITION 15.6S2 115.3E0
LATEST ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TROPICAL
CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) HAS CONTINUED TO TRACK TOWARDS THE WEST AT
9 KNOTS AND HAS MAINTAINED ITS ITENSITY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS.
ADDITIONALLY, IMAGERY SHOWS THE CENTRAL CONVECTION ASSOCIATED
WITH TC 22S CONTINUES TO FLUCTUATE IN INTENSITY AND AREAL
COVERAGE. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON ANIMATION AND
111130Z7 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON A COMBINATION OF A SATELLITE DERIVED CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATE OF 45 KNOTS AND CONTINUITY FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
THE FORECAST TRACK PHILOSOPHY REMIANS SIMILAR AS TC22S IS
EXPECTED TO TRACK TOWARDS THE WEST UNDER THE INFLUENCE THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO
MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT INTENSITY THROUGH THE 12 HOUR PERIOD.
AFTERWARDS IT IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY INTENISFY AS IT BECOMES
MORE ORGANIZED. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 111200Z5 IS
14 FEET. REFER TO WWIO31 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT

REMARKS:
120300Z6 POSITION 14.8S3 112.5E9
TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) HAS BEEN TRACKING WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS
BASED UPON 112330Z0 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. ANIMATED SATELLITE
IMAGERY INDICATED THE CONSISTENT DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION OVER
THE SYSTEM CENTER ALONG WITH BETTER ORGANIZATION DURING THE PAST
6 TO 8 HOURS. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED UPON A SATELLITE
INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 55 KNOTS. TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) HAS
TAKEN A MORE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TRACK DURING THE PAST 06 HOURS
DUE TO THE ORIENTATION OF RIDGING TO ITS SOUTH. AFTER 24 HOURS,
THE MOTION TRACK SHOULD TURN BACK MORE WESTERLY AND SLOW SOME
IN SPEED AS THE RIDGING TO THE SOUTH WEAKENS AND BECOMES MORE
EAST-WEST ORIENTED. THESE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS SHOULD ALLOW
THE SYSTEM TO INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 120000Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
121500Z9 (DTG 121355Z7) AND 130300Z7 (DTG 130155Z5). REFER TO

REMARKS:
121500Z9 POSITION 15.7S3 110.9E1
TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT
10 KNOTS. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE MOVING IN THIS
DIRECTION THROUGH 12 TO 24 HOURS AS A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH
WEAKENS THE RIDGE. AFTER THIS TIME, WESTWARD MOTION IS EXPECTED
TO RESUME AS THE EFFECTS OF THE TROUGH DISSIPATE. THE
ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR INTENSIFICATION
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 121200Z IS 20 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 122100Z6 (DTG

REMARKS:
130900Z3 POSITION 17.3S1 106.5E2
TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED UPON
130530Z VISIBLE AND ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE
WELL DEFINED EYE THAT FORMED AT 130000Z4 ON TROPICAL CYCLONE
22S (VICTOR) HAS DISSIPATED. RECENT ANIMATED VISIBLE IMAGERY
INDICATED THAT THE SYSTEM HAS BECOME MORE DISORGANIZED DURING
THE PAST 5 HOURS AND IS NO LONGER INTENSIFYING. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED UPON A COMBINATION OF SATELLITE INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 90 AND 102 KNOTS. THE SYSTEM SHOULD CONTINUE TO
TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO
STEERING FROM THE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. THIS MID
LEVEL FLOW IS CAUSING TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) TO MOVE
INTO SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WHICH IS ORIENTED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
TO EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD. THIS WILL PREVENT THE SYSTEM FROM
DEVELOPING ANY FURTHER, AND SHOULD BEGIN A SLIGHT WEAKENING
TREND BY THE 48 HOUR POSITION. THE SYSTEM=S FORWARD SPEED
SHOULD SLOW A LITTLE DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO THE
INFLUENCE OF THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 130600Z IS 26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT

REMARKS:
140300Z8 POSITION 18.0S9 103.5E9
TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS.
THE WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON 132330Z2
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. WIND RADII ARE EXTRAPOLATED FROM
131559Z4 MICROWAVE DATA. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES THAT THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO WEAKEN SLOWLY AND IS
EXPERIENCING LIGHT WESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE SLOWLY WEAKENING
AS IT MOVES IN A GENERALLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD DIRECTION
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. THIS SYSTEM IS BEING ADVECTED
TOWARD THE WEST BY A STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. AN
APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO MODERATE THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AFTER 36 HOURS AND ALLOW TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S
(VICTOR) TO MOVE SLIGHTLY MORE TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 140000Z5 IS 26 FEET. REFER TO WWIO30
PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS AT
140900Z4 (DTG 140755Z2), 141500Z1 (DTG 141355Z9), 142100Z8 (DTG

REMARKS:
160300Z0 POSITION 21.1S4 089.2E9
TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST AT 14
KNOTS. WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON 152330Z4
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS ONLY SPORADIC AND ISOLATED DEEP CONVECTION SOUTH OF THE
WELL-WRAPPED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. NO CHANGE TO
FORECAST REASONING. TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) IS EXPECTED
TO TRACK ROUGHLY WESTWARD THROUGH 24 HOURS UNDER THE STEERING
INFLUENCE OF THE MID-LATITUDE ANTICYCLONE TO ITS SOUTH. AFTER
24 HOURS THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TURN TOWARDS WEST-SOUTHWEST
AND DISSIPATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 160000Z7 IS 18 FEET. REFER
TO WWIO30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT

REMARKS:
171500Z4 POSITION 21.6S9 80.4E2
TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) HAS BEEN TRACKING WESTWARD AT
11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED
UPON 171131Z4 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE SYSTEM
SHOULD BEGIN A WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK DURING THE NEXT 12
HOURS AS IT IS BEING STEERED BY THE WESTERN MOST EXTENT OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH. A WEAKNESS IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SHOULD DEVELOP DUE TO A PASSING MID-LATITUDE
DISTURBANCE BY THE 36 HOUR POSITION ALLOWING TROPICAL CYCLONE
22S (VICTOR) TO TURN MORE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD. THE SYSTEM SHOULD
WEAKEN SLOWLY DUE TO VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND DISSIPATE OVER THE
WATER BY THE 36 HOUR POSITION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 171200Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 180300Z2 (DTG 180155Z0)

SATELLITE IMAGERY DUE TO ITS INTERACTION WITH A SURFACE FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR/CINDY)
IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE MOVING TOWARD THE SOUTH AND DISSIPATE
AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER THE WATER BY THE 12 HOUR
FORECAST POSITION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 190000Z0
IS 11 FEET. REFER TO WWIO30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT
INFORMATION. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE
JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN WEST GU). THE
SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION.
