remarks:130900z position near 14.7s 68.7e.
Tropical cyclone (tc) 06s (noname) located approximately 490 nm
south-southwest of Diego Garcia, has tracked southwestward at 11
knots over the past 06 hours.
Tc 06s has consolidated over the past
06 hours, reaching an intensity of 35 knots. The current intensity
is based on satellite Dvorak estimates of 35 knots from pgtw and
knes, 30 knots from fmee and a 130107z Quikscat image showing 40 knot
winds around the low level circulation center (LLCC).
The system is
currently tracking generally
west-southwestward under competing
steering influences of subtropical ridging to the southeast and low
to mid-level near equatorial ridging to the north.
The available
dynamic model aids are in general agreement with a westward track,
however, this forecast favors the WBAR solution.
This warning super-
sedes and cancels ref a, navpacmetoccen 122221zdec2007 tropical
cyclone formation alert (wtxs21 pgtw 122230). Maximum significant
wave height at 130600z is 12 feet. Next warnings at 132100z and
140900z.//
