REMARKS:
220900Z POSITION NEAR 11.0S 85.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 15S (EMERAUDE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 846 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 01
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS A BROAD, FULLY-EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) WITH ISOLATED BURSTS OF DEEP CONVECTION DISPLACED OVER THE
SOUTHWEST PERIPHERY OF THE LLCC. A 220328Z METOP-A 89 GHZ IMAGE
REVEALS WEAKLY-DEFINED SHALLOW BANDING WRAPPING BROADLY INTO THE
LLCC. RECENT SCATTEROMETER DATA SHOWS 25 TO 30 KNOT GRADIENT WINDS
OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE WITH 20 TO 25 KNOTS ELSEWHERE. THE
INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 30 KNOTS BASED ON THE SCATTEROMETER
DATA AS WELL AS DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 2.0 (30
KNOTS). DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK
GENERALLY WESTWARD THROUGH TAU 48 THEN WILL TURN SHARPLY POLEWARD. OVERALL, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN MARGINALLY
FAVORABLE UNTIL TAU 72 WHEN POLEWARD OUTFLOW IS EXPECTED TO IMPROVE
WITH THE APPROACH OF A DEEP SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THEREFORE, THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR THE SYSTEM TO REGENERATE NEAR TAU 72. THIS IS THE
FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL
HARBOR HI. THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF
REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 220600Z IS 10 FEET.
JUSTIFICATION FOR RELOCATION: RELOCATED PREVIOUS WARNING LOCATION
BASED ON MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY.//
