REMARKS:
140900Z4 POSITION NEAR 9.2S1 177.7W2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 19P (OLAF), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 525
NM NORTHWEST OF PAGO PAGO, AMERICAN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED NORTH-
WARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION
IS BASED ON 140530Z3 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY EST-
IMATES OF 77 AND 90 KNOTS. THE STEERING ENVIRONMENT SURROUNDING
TC 19P IS CURRENTLY WEAK. A DEVELOPING BRANCH OF THE MID-LEVEL
ANTICYCLONE ANCHORED TO THE SOUTHEAST IS FORECAST TO PROVIDE
THE PRIMARY SOUTHEASTWARD STEERING FLOW AFTER TAU 12. ANIMATED
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT TC 19P HAS STRONG RADIAL OUTFLOW
WHICH IS FORECAST TO PERSIST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING OVER
THE NEXT 48 HOURS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. THE INTENSIFI-
CATION RATE IS FORECAST TO SLOW LATER IN THE FORECAST PERIOD
AS TC 19P BEGINS INTERACTING WITH TC 18P TO ITS SOUTHEAST. MAX-
IMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 140600Z1 IS 43 FEET. NEXT WARN-
INGS AT 141500Z1, 142100Z8, 150300Z9 AND 150900Z5. REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 18P (NANCY) WARNINGS (WTPS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-
HOURLY UPDATES.//
