REMARKS:
160300Z0 POSITION 20.9N1  142.2E9
VISUAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AT 15/2330Z INDICATES THAT TD
31W IS ONCE AGAIN AN EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION.
VISUAL IMAGERY NOW INDICATES THAT TD 31W IS MOVING NORTH
AT 10 KNOTS IN RESPONSE TO A FRONTAL ZONE SOUTH OF JAPAN.
CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM HAS
WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY AND HAS SHEARED TO THE SOUTH OF THE
CIRCULATION CENTER SINCE EARLY THIS MORNING. TD 31W IS NO
LONGER EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AND IS NOW FORECAST TO
DISSIPATE WITHIN 36 HOURS. 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 161500Z3 (DTG 161353Z9)
AND 170300Z1 (DTG 170153Z7). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 160000Z IS 09 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 PGFW FOR
ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. REFER TO TROPICAL
DEPRESSION 30W WARNINGS (WTPN31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY
UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL STORM BETH (32W) WARNINGS
(WTPN33 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES. JUSTIFICATION FOR
CORRECTION: CORRECTS WARNING NUMBER//
