REMARKS:
182100Z POSITION NEAR 10.4S 95.0E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (TWO) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 185 NM NORTH-
NORTHEAST OF COCOS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 12 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED METSAT IMAGERY AND A 181511Z
AMSU-B IMAGE DEPICT A WELL-CONSOLIDATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) WITH IMPROVING DEEP CONVECTION WRAPPING INTO THE WEST AND SOUTH
SIDES OF THE CIRCULATION. ALTHOUGH CONVECTION HAS WANED SLIGHTLY OVER
THE PAST 12 HOURS, RECENT IMAGERY SHOWS A RESURGENCE IN CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY WITH BANDING BECOMING TIGHTER AND BETTER DEFINED. THE LLCC
LIES BENEATH A WEAKLY DEVELOPING UPPER-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE IN AN AREA
OF MODERATE EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THIS COUPLED WITH RELATIVELY
WEAK OCEAN HEAT CONTENT VALUES MAY SERVE TO LIMIT THE MAXIMUM INTENS-
ITY OF THE SYSTEM. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE BASED UPON
DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30 TO 35 KNOTS FROM KNES AND PGTW RES-
PECTIVELY, AND A 180230Z ASCAT PASS DEPICTING 30 TO 40 WINDS NEAR THE
CENTER. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE
NEXT 48 HOURS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOW- TO MID-LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW
EQUATORWARD OF THE SYSTEM. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A,
NAVMARFCSTCEN 180921Z NOV 08 TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS21
PGTW 180930 ) MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 181800Z IS 8 FEET.

190900Z POSITION NEAR 12.1S 98.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (ANIKA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 50 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF COCOS ISLAND HAS INCREASED ITS FORWARD MOTION
TO 15 KNOTS THE PAST 06 HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY
SHOWS CONVECTIVE SPIRAL BANDS HAVE CONSOLIDATED AROUND ITS LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 190237Z ASCAT PASS OVER THE
CYCLONE INDICATES WINDS 30-35 KNOTS TIGHTLY WRAPPED AROUND THE
LLCC. THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO TRACK EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD ON THE
SOUTHERN EDGE OF A 700 MB EQUATORIAL RIDGE AND AHEAD OF A TROUGH
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST-SOUTHWEST. ANALYSES INDICATE TC 02S
WILL MOVE INTO AN AREA OF COOLER SST'S, UPPER LEVEL CONVERGENCE
AND MODERATE TO STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AFTER TAU 24, WHICH
WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE CYCLONE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 190600Z IS 8 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 192100Z AND 200900Z.//

REMARKS:
200900Z POSITION NEAR 15.1S 102.8E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (ANIKA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 805 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 14 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST 06 HOURS. DEEP CONVECTION CONTINUES TO BE SHEARD OFF TO THE
SOUTHEAST AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON MULTIPLE AGENCY DVORAK
SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 45 TO 55 KNOTS. THE
STORM WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK GENERALLY SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARDS
NORTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA AS A STEERING RIDGE BUILDS TO THE EAST OF THE
CYCLONE. DECREASED SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR WILL WEAKEN THE SYSTEM TO A MINIMAL TROPICAL CYCLONE BY
TAU 48. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 200600Z IS 11 FEET.

201500Z POSITION NEAR 16.1S 104.3E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (ANIKA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 705 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 15 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST 06 HOURS. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON POSITION FIXES FROM
PGTW AND APRF, AND A 201143Z 37 GHZ SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY REFLECTS SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND APRF
INDICATING A 35 TO 55 KNOT SYSTEM. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR HAS INCREASED
IN EXCESS OF 30 KNOTS AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ENCROACHES ON THE
CYCLONE FROM THE SOUTHWEST, SHEARING CONVECTION TO SOUTHEAST. CLOUD
TOPS HAVE ALSO BEGUN TO WARM IN RESPONSE TO COOL SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK GENERALLY SOUTHEAST-
WARD FOR THE FIRST 36 HOURS, THEN LEVEL OFF TOWARDS THE EAST AS THE
SYSTEM WEAKENS. CONTINUED MODERATE TO HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND
COOL SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL FURTHER WEAKEN THE CYCLONE THROUGH-
OUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 201200Z

202100Z POSITION NEAR 15.7S 105.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (ANIKA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 650 NM
NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 13 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST 06 HOURS. RECENT MULTISPECTRAL AND INFRARED IMAGERY HAS INDI-
CATED THAT THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS BECOME SHEARED
FROM THE CONVECTION. THE LLCC WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST-
SOUTHEAST WHILE THE CONVECTION WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST. TC 02S HAS MOVED
POLEWARD OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGING AND HAS CONTINUED TO SEE
INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE LLCC. IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
DECREASING SST'S A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN INTENSITY OVER THE PAST
06 HOURS HAS OCCURRED. THE LIKELIHOOD OF REDEVELOPMENT IS LOW AS THE
ENVIRONMENT WILL REMAIN UNFAVORABLE UNTIL LANDFALL. THIS IS THE FINAL
WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING
CENTER (NAVMARFCSTCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR
SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 201800Z IS
8 FEET. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 03S (BERNARD) WARNINGS (WTXS32
