REMARKS:
032100Z6 POSITION NEAR 25.5S2 59.0E4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (DARIUS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 265 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT
15 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED
ON 031730Z4 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF
45 AND 55 KNOTS. TC 06S IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO TRACK POLEWARD
ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE LOCATED TO THE
EAST. TC 06S IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN SLOWLY THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD AND TRANSITION TO AN EXTRATROPICAL LOW AS IT LINKS UP WITH
THE TRANSITORY TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. TC 06S WILL
COMPLETE TRANSITION TO AN EXTRATROPICAL SYSTEM IN 36 HOURS. THE
AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, UKMET (EGRR), GFDN,
AND NCEP GFS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO. THIS
FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND OF THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 031800Z2 IS 20 FEET. NEXT
