REMARKS:
241500Z2 POSITION 16.0N7  136.4E4
TROPICAL STORM ZANE (29W) IS MOVING NORTHWESTWARD AT
APPROXIMATELY 15 KNOTS. IT HAS ORGANIZED SLIGHTLY OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS AND IS NOW AT MINIMAL TROPICAL STORM
INTENSITY. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE MOVING
NORTHWESTWARD FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THEN TURN
WESTWARD IN RESPONSE TO EASTERLY WINDS FROM THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THIS SYSTEM IS INTERACTING WITH TY
YATES (28W), WHICH IS A MUCH SMALLER SYSTEM TO ITS EAST.
TOWARD THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD, TS ZANE IS
FORECAST TO SLOW ITS FORWARD MOTION IN RESPONSE TO THE
MOTION OF TY YATES TO THE NORTH. NEXT WARNINGS AT
242100Z9 (DTG 241953Z4), 250300Z0 (DTG 250153Z6),
250900Z6 (DTG 250753Z2) AND 251500Z3 (DTG 251353Z9).
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 241200Z9 IS 12 FEET.
REFER TO WWPW30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT
INFORMATION. REFER TO TYPHOON YATES (28W) (WTPN31 PGTW)
FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
