REMARKS:
041500Z0 POSITION NEAR 13.8S2 114.4E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 26S (INIGO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 515 NM
NORTH OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
041130Z9 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY
IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 140 KNOTS. TC
26S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE ON A SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK THROUGH 36
HOURS, THEN RECURVING TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST INTO A WEAKNESS IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE THEREAFTER. TC 26S WILL MAINTAIN INTENSITY FOR THE
SHORT TERM IN A FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW ENVIRONMENT, WITH THE
POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL BECOMING MORE RESTRICTED. TC 26S ENTERS A
MID-LATITUDE WESTERLY SHEARING ENVIRONMENT AFTER 36 HOURS, AT WHICH
TIME PROGRESSIVE WEAKENING OF THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN. THE UKMET
GLOBAL (EGRR) AND THE NCEP AVIATION DYNAMIC MODELS PERSIST IN
TRACKING 26S FURTHER WEST BEFORE RECURVATURE, WITH NOGAPS AND GFDN
TURNING FURTHER TO THE EAST. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS
OF THE DYNAMIC MODELS BIASED IN FAVOR OF THE NOGAPS AND GFDN
SOLUTION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 041200Z7 IS 28 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 050300Z8 AND 051500Z1. RELEASED BY LT INGRAM,
