REMARKS:
172100Z1 POSITION NEAR 18.1S0  110.9E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 28S (ELAINE) HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD
OFF THE NORTHWEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 12
HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED UPON 171730Z9 ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED UPON A SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 90 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY INDICATES SOME OF THE DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH TC 28S
IS BEING SHEARED TO THE SOUTHEAST. TROPICAL CYCLONE 28S IS TRACKING
SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE LOCATED TO ITS SOUTHEAST. TC 28S IS FORECAST TO TRACK
SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. AS TC 28S
CONTINUES TO TRACK SOUTHWARD, UW-CIMSS SHEAR CHARTS INDICATE IT WILL
BE ENTERING AN AREA OF INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. HENCE, TC 28S
IS NO LONGER FORECAST TO INTENSIFY. THE INCREASED VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR CAN ALSO LEAD TO A MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ALTERNATE FORECAST TRACK
SCENARIO. IF THE CONVECTION IS TOTALLY SHEARED FROM THE SYSTEM, THE
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION SHOULD TRACK MORE WESTWARD AFTER THE 24 HOUR
FORECAST POSITION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A LOW LEVEL RIDGE. THE
WIND RADII ARE BASED ON AN EARLIER SCATTEROMETRY PASS. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 171800Z7 IS 22 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
180900Z8 (DTG180753Z4) AND 182100Z2 (DTG 181953Z7). REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 27P (HALI) WARNINGS (WTPS31 PGTW) FOR
TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 29S WARNINGS
(WTXS33 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
