REMARKS:
042100Z7 POSITION NEAR 14.5S0 165.2W4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 15P (MEENA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 300 NM EAST
OF PAGO PAGO, AMERICAN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEAST AT 07 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 041730Z5
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55, 65, AND 77 KNOTS.
RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS STRONG
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW SOURCING FROM THE EASTERN SEMICIRCLE OF THE SYS-
TEM. DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS, TC 15P IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEAST-
WARD AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING RIDGE. OUTFLOW
IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAVORABLE, HOWEVER A SLIGHT INCREASE IN VERTI-
CAL WIND SHEAR WILL SLOW THE INTENSIFICATION RATE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFI-
CANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 041800Z3 IS 26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 050900Z4
AND 052100Z8.//
