REMARKS:
060900Z5 POSITION 27.1N0  132.0E6
TROPICAL STORM KIRK (13W) IS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 05
KNOTS.  THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BE IN A WEAK STEERING
ENVIRONMENT THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD.  HOWEVER, AFTER
48 HOURS, EXPECT AN EASTERLY TRACK FORECAST DUE TO EASTERLY
STEERING FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE.  SYSTEM
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS NORTHERLY UPPER-
LEVEL SHEAR HAS RELAXED. NEXT WARNINGS AT 061500Z2 (DTG
061351Z6), 062100Z9 (DTG 061951Z2), 070300Z0 (DTG 070151Z4)
AND 070900Z6 (DTG 070751Z0). MAXIMUM SEAS AT 060600Z ARE 14
FEET. REFER TO WWPW30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT
INFORMATION. REFER TO TROPICAL STORM LISA (14W) (WTPN33
PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
