REMARKS:
070900Z6 POSITION NEAR 17.9S7 114.2E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 26S (INIGO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260 NM
NORTH OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 07
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
070530Z5 MULTI-SPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 65 AND 77 KNOTS.
VISIBLE IMAGERY REVEALS THE DEEP CONVECTION IS SHEARED EAST OF THE
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. TC 26S SHOULD CONTINUE TRACKING
SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES AND
MAKE LANDFALL WEST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA. THE CYCLONE IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WEAKENING UNDER UNFAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
AND SHOULD DISSIPATE IN 24 TO 36 HOURS AS IT TRACKS OVER LAND. THE
AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH OUR FORECAST
TRACK. OUR FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE AND A
CONSENSUS OF ALL AVAILABLE MODELS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 070600Z3 IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 071500Z3, 072100Z0,
080300Z1 AND 080900Z7.//
