REMARKS:
292100Z4 POSITION 10.3N4  101.5E7
LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY AND AVAILABLE SYNOPTIC DATA
INDICATE THAT TROPICAL DEPRESSION 34W IS MOVING RAPIDLY
TOWARD THE NORTHWEST AT 12 KNOTS. HOWEVER, THE ACTUAL
POSITION OF THE SURFACE CIRCULATION HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO
FIX OVERNIGHT WITH SATELLITE IMAGERY. CONVECTION OVER THE
CENTER HAS CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE GREATLY WHILE
REMAINING ONLY WEAKLY ORGANIZED. TD 34W IS CURRENTLY NOT
EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AS IT REACHES THE MALAY PENINSULA
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS AND CROSSES INTO THE BAY
OF BENGAL. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 291800Z IS
09 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT
INFORMATION. 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. NEXT WARNINGS AT 300900Z2 (DTG 300757Z2)
AND 302100Z6 (DTG 301957Z5).//
