SYSTEM, BUT THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION REMAINS FAIRLY ORGANIZED.
THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT SLOWLY NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD AND REMAIN AT MINIMAL INTENSITY. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 180600Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
182100Z2 (DTG 181953Z7) AND 190900Z9 (DTG 190753Z5). REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (VICTOR) WARNINGS (WTXS33 PGTW) FOR
