REMARKS:
252100Z0 POSITION NEAR 7.7N4 86.9E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 05B, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 290 NM EAST OF SRI
LANKA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 06 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6
HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 251730Z8 INFRARED AND RECENT
MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE DEEP CONVECTION HAS DIMINISHED
OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, RESULTING IN RAPID WEAKENING OF THE SYSTEM.
TC 05B SHOULD WEAKEN TO LESS THAN 35 KNOTS, AND TRACK SOUTH-
SOUTHEASTWARD AS IT CONTINUES TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
EQUATORIAL WESTERLIES AND INTERACT WITH A DEVELOPING SYSTEM IN THE
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, CONSISTING OF
NOGAPS, TLAPS, TCLAPS, GFDN, NCEP AVIATION (AVN), AFWA MM5 AND UKMET
GLOBAL (EGRR) CONTINUE TO BE SPLIT INTO TWO CLUSTERS. AVN AND TLAPS
REFLECT THE FORECAST SCENARIO DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE REMAINING MODELS
SHOW NO INTERACTION WITH THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE SYSTEM AND TRACKS THE SYSTEM WESTWARD AS THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS TO THE NORTH. OUR FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE, AVN, AND TLAPS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 251800Z6 IS 12 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 RJTX FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN).  THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION.//
