REMARKS:
012100Z4 POSITION NEAR 6.4S0 77.4E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 320 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS DURING
THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 011730Z2
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS IMPROVING ORGANIZATION OVER THE
PAST 6 HOURS WITH CONVECTION DEVELOPING NORTHEAST OF THE FULLY-
EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 011313Z9 QUIKSCAT
SCATTEROMETER PASS HAD EARLIER INDICATED 20-30 KTS ON THE WESTERN
SIDE OF THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, UW-CIMSS ANALYSIS HAD INDICATED
MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE EXPOSED LLCC, BUT THE RECENT
ANALYSIS SHOWS WEAK TO MODERATE SHEAR. RECENT SYNOPTIC REPORTS
FROM DIEGO GARCIA HAVE INDICATED INCREASED SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS
(SUSTAINED) NEAR 20 KNOTS. TC 01S SHOULD TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOW-MID LEVEL RIDGE SOUTHEAST OF
THE SYSTEM. TC 01S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY UNDER AN
IMPROVED ENVIRONMENT, BUT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE 200 MB
SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE AXIS UNDER MODERATE NORTHEASTERLIES WHICH WILL
HINDER FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
011800Z0 IS 08 FEET. REFER TO WWIO31 RJTX FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT
INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS AT 020300Z5 (DTG 020151Z9), 020900Z1 (DTG
020751Z5), 021500Z8 (DTG 021351Z2) AND 022100Z5 (DTG 021951Z8).//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 292 NM NORTHEAST OF
DIEGO GARCIA, HAS DRIFTED WESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 06
HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 020530Z0 INFRARED AND

SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 TO 45 KNOTS. ANIMATED
INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO DEPICT A
PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH THE ASSOCIATED
CONVECTION DISPLACED TO THE WEST. 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES WEAK TO

RIDGE SITUATED OFF THE SOUTHWESTERN COAST OF AUSTRALIA NEAR 30.4S7
101.0E IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT EAST THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH
AN APPROACH OF A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH FROM THE WEST. TC 01S SHOULD
TRACK GENERALLY WESTWARD DURING THE NEXT 12 HOURS BEFORE TURNING
MORE SOUTHWESTWARD WITHIN A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TC
01S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY UNDER AN IMPROVED ENVIRONMENT,
BUT IS FORECAST TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE 200 MB SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE
AXIS UNDER MODERATE NORTHEASTERLIES WHICH WILL HINDER FURTHER

REMARKS:
030900Z2 POSITION NEAR 8.4S2 74.7E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 150 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 10
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON 030530Z1 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 TO 45 KNOTS. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS THE CONVECTION BEING SHEARED TO THE SOUTHWEST ABOUT 140 NM
FROM THE APPARENT LLCC. 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES A MODERATE
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT OVER THE SYSTEM. TC 01S IS CURRENTLY
UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOW-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
CENTERED TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM. A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH TO
THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM IS CREATING A WEAKNESS IN THE STEERING
RIDGE. THIS WEAKNESS WILL ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD
THROUGH THE 12 HOUR PERIOD. AFTER THIS PERIOD THE RIDGE MOVING
EASTWARD BEHIND THE TROUGH WILL BECOME THE DOMINANT STEERING
INFLUENCE. AS A RESULT, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK INCREASINGLY
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. TC 01S IS
FORECAST TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY IN THE NEXT 12 HOURS THEN WEAKEN AND
REMAIN WEAK IN A MARGINAL SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 030600Z9 IS 15 FEET. REFER TO WWPW30 RJTX FOR
ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS AT 031500Z9 (DTG
031352Z4), 032100Z6 (DTG 031952Z0), 040300Z7 (DTG 040152Z2) AND
040900Z3 (DTG 040752Z8).//

REMARKS:
031500Z9 POSITION NEAR 9.2S1 73.7E7.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 145 NM SOUTHEAST OF
DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE PAST
06 HOURS. THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) CAN NOT BE FOUND
IN SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION
FROM A PREVIOUS SCATTEROMETER POSITION. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS FROM NEARBY SYNOPTIC REPORTS.
ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS THE CONVECTION BEING SHEARED TO
THE SOUTHWEST. THE UW-CIMSS WIND SHEAR PRODUCTS INDICATE AN
UNFAVORABLE SHEAR ENVIRONMENT OVER THE SYSTEM. TC 01S IS FORECAST TO
TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOW-LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CENTERED TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO COMPLETELY DISSIPATE OVER WATER BY THE 24 HOUR
FORECAST POSITION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 031200Z6 IS 15
FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 RJTX FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION.
THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON
WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY
MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION.//
