TC 15S (DAMIEN-BIRENDA) IN THE SOUTX INDIAN OCEAN. THE WARNING
POSITION AND INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE BASED ON 310530Z2 VISIBLE AND
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE INTENSITY

ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS AUGMENTED BY 35 KNOT SHIP SYNOPTIC REPORTS.
POSITION RELOCATION IS DUE TO THE INCREASED CONFIDENCE OF VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE SYSTEM HAS INCREASED ORGANIZATION, WITH
MULTIPLE BANDS SPIRALING INTO THE CENTER. UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW
IS FAIR TO THE NORTHEAST, AND GOOD SOUTHWARD. THE WIND FIELD
IS ASYMMETRICAL, WITIPGEST WINDS IN THE SOUTHERN
SEMICIRCLE DUE TO TRANSLATIONAL SPEED OF THE SYSTEM, AND
LOCATION OF THE DEEP CONVECTION. TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S
IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH 48 HOURS
INTO A SLIGHT WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS
SOUTH. BETWEEN 48 AND 72 HOURS, THIS SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE ON A MORE WESTWARD COURSE AS
IT MOVES OUT OF THE WEAKNESS. TC 17S IS
EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD IN A WEAK TO
MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 310600Z IS 14 FEET. REFER
