REMARKS:
301500Z9 POSITION NEAR 17.1S9   95.3E7.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 31S (FREDERIC) HAS TRACKED TOWARD THE WEST AT 13
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
301130Z8 SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T6.0 (115 KNOTS). TC 31S
(FREDERIC) HAS REMAINED UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST. THIS RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO
DOMINATE THE SYSTEMS TRACK AS TC 31S (FREDERIC) IS FORECAST TO
CONTINUE TRACKING WESTWARD DURING THE NEXT 12 HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS
THEN FORECAST TO BEGIN TURNING SOUTHWESTWARD IN RESPONSE TO A
WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TC 31S (FREDERIC) HAS RETAINED A
WELL DEFINED EYE AND CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION WILL REMAIN
SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE FOR FURTHER INTENSIFICATION DURING THE NEXT 24
HOURS. INCREASED VERTICAL SHEAR IS THEN FORECAST TO MODERATE
INTENSIFICATION, AND EVEN SLOWLY BEGIN WEAKENING THE SYSTEM BY THE
END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
301200Z6 IS 28 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 310300Z7 (DTG 310151Z1) AND
311500Z0 (DTG 311351Z4).
