REMARKS: 140300Z8 POSITION:  10.6N 156.8E0
TYPHOON PAKA (05C) HAS CONTINUED TO INCREASE ITS FORWARD
SPEED TO 16 KNOTS WHILE MOVING TOWARDS THE WEST-
NORTHWEST. LATEST VISUAL AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY

PAGE 06 RUEOMCB4915 UNCLAS //NO3145//
INDICATE THAT TYPHOON PAKA (05C) HAS A WELL DEFINED 11NM
EYE WITH AN ESTIMATED INTENSITY OF 115 KNOTS. CONDITIONS
ARE STILL FAVORABLE FOR CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION.
TYPHOON PAKA (05C) IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN A WEST-
NORTHWEST DIRECTION THROUGH THE 48-HOUR FORECAST PERIOD
AND THEN WESTWARD THEREAFTER. OUTER WIND RADII WERE
ADJUSTED OUTWARD IN THE NORTHEAST SEMICIRCLE WHILE
DECREASED SOMEWHAT TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST BASED
ON THE LATEST 131115Z2 SCATTEROMETER PASS AND CURRENT
SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SYNOPTIC DATA. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 140000Z IS 29 FEET. REFER TO WWPW30 PGFW
FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS AT
140900Z4 (DTG 140751Z), 141500Z1 (DTG 141351Z), 142100Z8
(DTG 141951Z), AND 150300Z9 (DTG 150151Z).//
