REMARKS:
191500Z6 POSITION NEAR 17.8S6  119.9E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20S (ALISTAIR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 115 NM
WEST-NORTHWEST OF BROOME, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 10
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
191130Z5 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 AND 65 KNOTS. ENHANCED INFRARED
ANIMATION DEPICTS A POORLY DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER.
DIFFLUENCE ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE HAS HELPED TO GENERATE A NEW BURST OF DEEP
CONVECTION OVER THE WESTERN QUADRANT. TC 20S IS FORECAST TO TRACK
SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE
ESTABLISHED OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA THROUGH 48 HOURS. AFTERWARD, THE
SYSTEM SHOULD BEGIN TO TRACK MORE SOUTHWARD WITH AN APPROACH OF A
MID-LATITUDE FROM THE SOUTHWEST. TC 20S HAS BEGUN ITS TRACK POLEWARD
OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS AND INTO A REGION OF LIGHT TO MODERATE
UPPER WEST-NORTHWESTERLIES. THEREFORE, THE SYSTEM SHOULD SHOW A
WEAKENING TREND THROUGH THE PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 191200Z3 IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 192100Z3 ,200300Z5, 200900Z1
AND 201500Z8.//
