REMARKS:
302100Z6 POSITION 27.9N8  133.2E9
TYPHOON ZANE (29W) HAS CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EAST-
NORTHEASTWARD AND WEAKEN. CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON A
30/1726Z SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T4.5
(75-80 KNOTS) AND A RAGGED EYE APPEARANCE ON SATELLITE
AND DOPPLER RADAR. ZANE WILL TRACK RAPIDLY EAST-NORTHEAST
THROUGH THE PERIOD AND UNDERGO SIGNIFICANT SHEAR WHICH
WILL WEAKEN THE SYSTEM AND CAUSE THE TYPHOON TO BECOME
EXTRATROPICAL BY 36 HOURS. ESTIMATED SEA-LEVEL PRESSURE
IS 972 MB. NEXT WARNINGS AT 010300Z4 (DTG 010153Z0),
010900Z0 (DTG 010753Z6), 011500Z7 (DTG 011353Z3) AND
012100Z4 (DTG 011953Z9). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 301800Z IS 19 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 PGFW FOR
ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. REFER TO TYPHOON YATES
(28W) (WTPN31 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
