REMARKS:
292100Z4 POSITION 27.2N1  127.3E3
TYPHOON ZANE (29W) IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 60 NM
NORTHWEST OF OKINAWA. THE POSITION HAS BEEN RELOCATED
BASED ON IMPROVED ORGANIZATION OF THE EYEWALL AS SEEN IN
RADAR IMAGERY AND HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN RADAR FIX
POSITIONS OVER THE PAST TWO HOURS.  ANIMATED DOPPLER
RADAR AT KADENA SHOWS ZANE IS DRIFTING SLOWLY EASTWARD.
ZANE IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN SLOWLY AND CONTINUE MOVING ON
A GENERALLY EASTWARD TO EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TRACK. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 300300Z6 (DTG 300153Z2), 300900Z2 (DTG
300753Z8), 301500Z9 (DTG 301353Z5) AND 302100Z6 (DTG
301953Z1). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 291800Z IS
23 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT
