REMARKS:
120300Z6 POSITION 26.2N0  128.0E1
TYPHOON KIRK (13W) IS MAKING LANDFALL AT OKINAWA. KIRK HAS A VERY LAR
GE (NEARLY 90 NM DIAMETER) EYE WITH MAXIMUM WINDS RESTRICTED TO THE EY
EWALL. HIGHEST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH KIRK ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE EYEWA
LL SOUTHEAST OF SYSTEM CENTER. KIRK (13W) HAS WEAKENED IN
INTENSITY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. MINIMAL INTENSIFICATION IS ANTICIPA
TED AS KIRK=S TRACK BECOMES MORE NORTHWARD OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 120900Z2 (DTG 120751Z6), 121500Z9 (DTG 121351Z3),
122100Z6 (DTG 121951Z9) AND 130300Z7 (DTG 130151Z1).  MAXIMUM SIGNIFI
CANT WAVE HEIGHT WITHIN 35 KNOT WIND RADIUS AT 120000Z IS 22 FEET.  RE
FER TO WWPW30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION.//
