REMARKS:
TROPICAL CYCLONE 27P (HALI) CONTINUES TO TRACK SOUTHEAST DUE TO
THE UPPER LEVEL STEERING ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE
TO THE EAST COMBINED WITH A TROUGH TO THE SOUTHWEST. LATEST
METSAT ANIMATION INDICATES CONVECTION HAS DECREASED SLIGHTLY IN
INTENSITY OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS ALTHOUGH SYSTEM STILL SHOWS
STRONG CENTRALIZED CONVECTION. WE EXPECT INCREASING UPPER LEVEL
SHEAR TO INHIBIT ANY REGENERATION OF CONVECTION WHICH WILL CAUSE
SYSTEM DISSIPATION BY THE 24 HOUR TIME FRAME. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 170000Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 171500Z4 AND
180300Z2.//
