REMARKS:
132100Z7 POSITION NEAR 23.4S9 37.9E9.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 21S CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTHWARD AT 07 KNOTS IN THE
MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL. INFRARED IMAGERY INDICATES DEEP CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM HAS INCREASED SLIGHTLY IN ORGANIZATION.
UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW HAS IMPROVED AND IS GOOD TO THE SOUTHEAST AND
NORTHWEST, FAIR ELSEWHERE. THE WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE
BASED ON 131730Z5 INFRARED SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 35
KNOTS AUGMENTED BY 131525Z7 MICROWAVE DATA. THE MICROWAVE DATA
SUGGESTS THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER IS UNDER THE NORTHERN
EDGE OF THE DEEP CONVECTION. TROPICAL CYCLONE 21S IS FORECAST TO
MOVE SOUTHWARD THROUGH 36 HOURS UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL STEERING
PROVIDED BY A MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE EAST. AFTER 36 HOURS, THIS
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE AND BEGIN TRANSITIONING TO AN EXTRATROPICAL SYSTEM. TC 21S IS
ANTICIPATED TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY THROUGH 36 HOURS THEN WEAKEN AS IT
ENTERS A MODERATE VERTICAL SHEAR ENVIRONMENT AND BEGINS TO TRANSIT
COOLER WATER. WIND RADII AFTER 36 HOURS ARE ADJUSTED TO REFLECT
THE EFFECTS OF SYSTEM MOVEMENT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 131800Z3 IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 140300Z8 (DTG 140153Z4),
140900Z4 (DTG 140753Z0), 141500Z1 (DTG 141353Z7) AND 142100Z8 (DTG
141953Z3). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 19P (ELLA) WARNING (WTPS32
