REMARKS:
160900Z6 POSITION NEAR 14.8S3 53.2E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 15S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 160 NM OFF THE
EASTERN COAST OF MADAGASCAR, CONTINUES TO DEVELOP. TC 15S HAS
TRACKED NORTHEASTWARD AT 07 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 160530Z5 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE

IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY
NOW DEPICTS THE BANDING FEATURE NOW EXTENDING TO THE SOUTHEAST SIDE
OF THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC). TC 15S IS FORECAST TO TRACK EAST-NORTHEASTWARD UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOW TO MIDDLE LEVEL RIDGE OVER MADAGASCAR
FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AFTERWARD, TC 15S SHOULD TRACK TOWARDS THE
EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD DIRECTION AS THE STEERING FLOW BECOMES GOVERNED
BY A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE. TC 15S IS TRACKING UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE

AXIS AND IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE DURING THE
FORECAST PERIOD. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS CONSISTING OF THE UK MET

GLOBAL (EGRR), NOGAPS, AND AVIATION (AVN) MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT. OUR FORECAST IS BASED ON PERSISTENCE AND A BLEND OF ALL
THE DYNAMIC MODELS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 151800Z5 IS
13 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 162100Z0 AND 170900Z7.//
