REMARKS:
120900Z2 POSITION 16.2N9  130.5E9
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 26W HAS INTENSIFIED SLIGHTLY. SLIGHT
INTENSIFICATION IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT 6-12 HOURS,
WITH A SLOW WEAKENING TREND ANTICIPATED THEREAFTER. THE
SYSTEM IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 900 NM WEST OF TROPICAL
DEPRESSION 25W (TD25W), WHICH IS LOCATED EAST OF THE
NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. BOTH SYSTEMS ARE LOCATED WITHIN
THE MONSOON TROUGH, IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR
DEVELOPMENT. TD25W (NEAR THE NORTHERN MARIANAS) IS
FAVORED AS THE DOMINANT CIRCULATION BY DYNAMIC MODELS AND
IS THE BASIS FOR OUR INTENSIFICATION FORECAST FOR TD26W.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 121500Z9 (DTG 121355Z7), 122100Z6 (DTG
121955Z3), 130300Z7 (DTG 130155Z5) AND 130900Z3 (DTG
130755Z1). IF THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER
ANTICIPATES THAT THIS TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL REACH
TROPICAL STORM INTENSITY, THEN A STANDARD 72 HOUR
TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING WILL BE ISSUED.  OTHERWISE, 36
HOUR TROPICAL DEPRESSION WARNINGS WILL BE UPDATED EVERY
12 HOURS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 120600Z IS
10 FEET.  REFER TO WWPW30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT
INFORMATION. REFER TO TROPICAL DEPRESSION  24W (WTPN32
PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL
DEPRESSION  25W (WTPN31 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
