REMARKS:
220900Z3 POSITION NEAR 14.1S6 120.5E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 18S (FAY), IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
370 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA AND HAS
TRACKED WESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS.
THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 220530Z2 MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 115 AND 127 KNOTS.
TC 18S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
THROUGH 24 HOURS ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A MID
LEVEL STEERING RIDGE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. A PASSING SHORTWAVE
TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN THE RIDGE AND SHIFT THE TRACK
POLEWARD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. TC 18S IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING AT A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL
RATE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD IN A MODERATELY FAVORABLE UPPER
LEVEL ENVIRONMENT. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, CONSISTING OF
NOGAPS, NCEP GFS, TLAPS, TCLAPS, AND EGRR ARE IN FAIR
AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON
PERISTENCE AND A BLEND OF THE AVAILABLE AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 220600Z0 IS 26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 222100Z7 AND
230900Z4.//
