THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 162330Z5 MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 127, 140 AND
155 KNOTS. RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
INDICATES TC 19P REMAINS RELATIVELY SYMMETRIC SYSTEM WITH
A WELL DEFINED EYE. TC 19P IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO
TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A RIDGE
CENTERED TO THE EAST. TC 19P IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY WEAKEN
AS IT ENCOUNTERS DRIER AIR AND SLIGHTLY INCREASED VERTICAL
