REMARKS:
090300Z2 POSITION 13.3S7 60.7E3
TROPICAL CYCLONE 20S (ANACELLE) HAS BEEN DRIFTING WESTWARD AT 03
KNOTS FOR THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
090001Z0 VISIBLE AND ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY FROM
KGWC AND CONTINUITY WITH A 080607Z1 SCATTEROMETER PASS. THE
SCATTEROMETER PASS INDICATED TROPICAL CYCLONE 20S= (ANNACELLE)
POSITION WAS FURTHER SOUTH AND ITS INTENSITY WAS LOWER THAN THE
PREVIOUS WARNINGS. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON A
COMBINATION OF SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS, THE
080607Z1 SCATTEROMETER PASS AND CONTINUITY WITH THE PREVIOUS
WARNING. TROPICAL CYCLONE 20S (ANACELLE) HAS CONTINUED TO DRIFT
SLOWLY WESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MID-LEVEL STEERING FLOW
FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS FORECASTED TO WEAKEN IN 48 HOURS IN RESPONSE
TO A PASSING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. TROPICAL CYCLONE 20S (ANACELLE)
SHOULD BEGIN TO TRACK MORE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AFTER 48 HOURS IN
RESPONSE TO THIS CHANGE IN THE STEERING FLOW. THE SYSTEM SHOULD
CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS VERTICAL WIND SHEER SHOULD REMAIN LOW
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 090000Z IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 090900Z8 (DTG 090751Z2),
091500Z5 (DTG 091351Z9), 092100Z2 (DTG 091951Z5) AND 100300Z4
(DTG 100151Z8).//
