REMARKS:
220900Z3 POSITION NEAR 23.7S2 114.5E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 30S (VANCE) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE SOUTH AT 14
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS, MAKING LANDFALL IN THE SOUTHERN
EXMOUTH GULF. PREVIOUS SYNOPTIC DATA CONFIRMED THE 50 AND 35 KNOT
WIND RADII. SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES INDICATE THE
SYSTEM HAS DECREASED INTENSITY TO T5.5 (102 KNOTS). TC 30S (VANCE)
IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE DISSIPATING DUE TO INTERACTION WITH LAND.
THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO ACCELERATE SOUTHSOUTHEASTWARD, DISSIPATING
OVER LAND BY THE 24 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 220600Z0 IS 24 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 221500Z0 (DTG
221357Z0), 222100Z7 (DTG 221957Z6), AND 230300Z8 (DTG 230157Z8).//
