REMARKS:
261500Z4 POSITION NEAR 18.8N7  65.6E7.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 02A, LOCATED OVER THE NORTH ARABIAN SEA, HAS
TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 261130Z3 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. SATELLITE ANIMATION DEPICTS THAT THE
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER HAS REMAINED BENEATH THE EASTERN EDGE
OF THE CLOUD SYSTEM. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMICAL MODELS (UKMET-O GLOBAL
GRID, NOGAPS, AVN RUN OF THE MRF, AND GFDN) HAVE SHOWN LITTLE SKILL
WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE UKMET AND NOGAPS HAVE CONTINUED TO INDICATE A
WEST TO WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. THE AVN AND
GFDN RUNS REVEAL A SOUTHEAST TRACK (MODEL RESOLUTION FAILURE WITHIN
A MONSOON TROUGH LOW/MID LEVEL REFLECTION EXTENDING OFF OF INDIA).
BECAUSE OF THE LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE DYNAMICAL GUIDANCE, OUR
FORECAST IS BASED ON PERSISTENCE AND THE BETA ADVECTION MODELS.
INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST AS TC 02A TRACKS BENEATH A COL IN THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 261200Z1 IS 10
FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 RJTX FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 262100Z1, 270300Z2 AND 270900Z8.//
