REMARKS:
100300Z4 POSITION 24.5N1  130.6E0
TYPHOON KIRK (13W) IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 200 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST
OF OKINAWA. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY MOVING SLOWLY TO THE WEST-
SOUTHWEST AND HAS WEAKENED SLIGHTLY OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. KIRK
(13W) IS EXPECTED TO ASSUME A GENERALLY NORTHWESTWARD TRACK AND
INTENSIFY. WIND RADII HAVE BEEN REDUCED BASED ON SYNOPTIC DATA AND
MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) DERIVED WINDS. FORECAST WIND RADII ARE
BASED ON CLIMATOLOGY FOR AN AVERAGE TROPICAL CYCLONE. NEXT WARNINGS
AT 100900Z0 (DTG 100751Z4), 101500Z7 (DTG 101351Z1), 102100Z4
(DTG 101951Z7) AND 110300Z5 (DTG 110151Z9). MAXIMUM SEAS AT 100000Z
ARE 34 FEET. REFER TO WWPW30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT
