REMARKS:
040300Z POSITION NEAR 15.2S 177.8E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 11P (NONAME), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 160 NM
NORTH OF NADI, FIJI, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM HAS INTENSIFIED AT A LESS THAN CLIMATO-
LOGICAL RATE OVER THE PAST TWELVE HOURS. TC 11P IS TRACKING SOUTH-
EASTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE
LOCATED EAST OF THE TC. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS A DEEPENING
MIDLATITUDE TROUGH LOCATED UPSTREAM, WHICH WILL FURTHER ACT TO STEER
THE TC SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH TAU 48. TC 11P WILL INTENSIFY AT A LESS
THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH TAU 48 DUE TO COMPETING INFLUENCES
OF FAVORABLE POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR.
THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO.
THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF ALL AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS.
THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A, NAVPACMETOCCEN 030151Z
FEB 07 TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTPS21 PGTW 030200).
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 040000Z IS 12 FEET.

REMARKS:
041500Z POSITION NEAR 18.6S 177.8W.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 11P (NONAME), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 245 NM
EAST OF NADI, FIJI, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 21 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY AND A 041155Z
MICROWAVE PASS INDICATE THAT TC 11P HAS LOST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
CONVECTION NEAR THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER IN THE PAST 06 HOURS.
TC 11P IS CURRENTLY IN A HIGH AMPLITUDE STEERING PATTERN, DOWNSTREAM
OF A DEEPENING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH OVER NEW ZEALAND. THE TIGHT GRADIENT
BETWEEN THIS TROUGH AND THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ON THE NORTHEASTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE STORM IS INDUCING RAPID POLEWARD STEERING. THE SYSTEM
REMAINS IN A REGION OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), AND IS AP-
PROACHING AN INCREASING VWS GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG SUB-
TROPICAL JET TO ITS SOUTH. AS TC 11P RACES SOUTHEASTWARD, IT WILL BE-
COME INCORPORATED INTO THE MIDLATITUDE FLOW AND UNDERGO A RAPID EXTRA-
TROPICAL TRANSITION, WHICH WILL BE COMPLETE BY TAU 36. MAXIMUM SIG-
NIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 041200Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 050300Z
AND 051500Z.//

REMARKS:
050300Z POSITION NEAR 21.9S 173.4W.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 11P (NONAME), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 495 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF NADI, FIJI, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT
30 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED AT A
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE OVER THE PAST TWELVE HOURS. RECENT MULTI-
SPECTRAL IMAGERY AND A 042007Z TRMM IMAGE REVEAL TC 10S HAS RAPIDLY
ACCELERATED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AND BECOME EXTRATROPICAL BETWEEN THE
STEERING RIDGE LOCATED NORTHEAST OF THE TC AND THE DEEPENING MID-
LATITUDE TROUGH TO THE WEST. TC 10S WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN UNDER
HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD
WITH THE MIDLATITUDE FLOW. 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. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 050000Z IS 7 FEET.
