REMARKS:
191500Z POSITION NEAR 31.4N 160.2E.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 23W (MARIA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 820 NM NORTH-
NORTHWEST OF WAKE ISLAND, HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS AN
ELONGATED, DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH NO
ASSOCIATED DEEP CONVECTION. RECENT VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWED THAT THE
LLCC WAS PREDOMINANTLY CHARACTERIZED BY STRATOCUMULUS. RECENT
MICROWAVE IMAGERY TO INCLUDE A 191032Z METOP-A INDICATED DRY AIR
ENVELOPING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM AS WELL POORLY-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL
BANDING. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON OBJECTIVE INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 26 KNOTS AND RECENT SSMIS WIND ESTIMATES OF 20 TO
25 KNOTS. BASED ON THE SLOWLY WEAKENING LLCC AND MARGINAL UPPER-
LEVEL ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS COOL SST (24-25C), TD 23W IS FORECAST
TO DISSIPATE WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS WHILE TRACKING EASTWARD.
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 191200Z
IS 12 FEET.//
