REMARKS:
082100Z1 POSITION NEAR 18.6S5  62.8E6.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 14
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS EAST OF MADAGASCAR. THE WARNING POSITION
IS BASED UPON 081730Z9 ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED UPON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 100 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
CONTINUE TO SHOW A CLOUD FILLED EYE AS TC 25S APPEARS TO BE
WEAKENING SLIGHTLY AS IT CONTINUES SOUTHWESTWARD. TROPICAL CYCLONE
25S (DAVINA) CONTINUES TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING
INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH. TROPICAL CYCLONE
25S (DAVINA) IS FORECAST TO TRACK SLIGHTLY MORE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AS AN APPROACHING MID LATITUDE TROUGH WEAKENS THE AFOREMENTIONED
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. AS THE TROUGH CONTINUES EASTWARD, THE RIDGE
SHOULD REBUILD TO THE SOUTH AND THE FORECAST TRACK ONCE AGAIN
STRIKES OUT WESTWARD BY THE 48 HOUR FORECAST POSITION. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 25S SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN SLOWLY AS IT APPROACHES THE
EAST COAST OF MADAGASCAR DUE TO AN INCREASE IN VERTICAL WINDSHEAR
AND INTERACTION WITH THE ISLANDS OF REUNION AND MAURITIUS. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 081800Z7 IS 26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS
AT 090900Z8 (DTG 090753Z4) AND 092100Z2 (DTG 091953Z7). REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE  26S WARNINGS (WTXS31 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
