REMARKS:
132100Z7 POSITION NEAR 11.7N9   66.9E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 08A HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 6 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 131701Z3 INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY AND ANIMATION. THE WARNING INTENSITY OF 50 KNOTS
IS BASED ON AN AVERAGE OF SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 AND 55
KNOTS AND PREVIOUS SYNOPTIC DATA. TROPICAL CYCLONE 08A CONTINUES TO
MOVE NORTHWESTWARD IN THE STEERING FLOW FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
TO ITS NORTH. THE RIDGE IS WEAK AT PRESENT, DUE TO A PASSING MID-
LATITUDE TROUGH. AS THE RIDGE REBUILDS, TROPICAL CYCLONE 08A IS
FORECAST TO BEGIN TO TAKE ON A MORE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TRACK.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 08A CONTINUES INTENSIFY AND THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST
TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AS IT WILL REMAIN IN AN
ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR INTENSIFICATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 131800Z3 IS 18 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL
SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS AT 140300Z8 (DTG 140151Z2),
140900Z4 (DTG 140751Z8), 141500Z1 (DTG 141351Z5) AND 142100Z8 (DTG
141951Z1).//
