REMARKS:
121500Z POSITION NEAR 13.4S 89.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 400 NM
WEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS BEING STEERED BY WEAK
RIDGING TO THE SOUTH. TC 22S IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN A RELATIVELY
WEAK STORM DUE TO AN UNFAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT
AND LACK OF A WELL DEVELOPED UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW CHANNEL. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 121200Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
130300Z AND 131500Z.//

REMARKS:
130300Z POSITION NEAR 13.7S 89.8E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 420 NM WEST-
SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT
04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS BEING STEERED BY
RIDGING TO THE SOUTHEAST. TC 22S TRACK SPEED HAS DECREASED OVER THE
LAST SIX HOURS AS IT MOVED INTO THE RIDGE AXIS. TC 22S IS EXPECTED TO
SLIGHTLY INTENSIFY AS THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR DECREASES. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 130000Z IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
131500Z AND 140300Z.

REMARKS:
131500Z POSITION NEAR 13.3S 89.3E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 440 NM WEST
OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 03
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE FORWARD SPEED OF TC 22S
HAS CONTINUED TO SLOW OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, AND THE SYSTEM
HAS SLOWLY INTENSIFIED IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF WEAK VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AND FAVORABLE POLEWARD OUTFLOW. TC 22S IS FORECAST TO
INTENSIFY SLOWLY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS IT TRACKS ALONG THE
NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A LOW TO MID LEVEL STEERING ANTI-
CYCLONE LOCATED TO THE EAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 131200Z IS 21 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 140300Z AND 141500Z.//

140300Z POSITION NEAR 13.7S 88.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (ELIA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 470 NM WEST-
SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM SLIGHTLY INCREASED IN SPEED OVER
THE LAST 12 HOURS, AND HAS MAINTAINED INTENSITY. THE SYSTEM HAS BEGUN
TO MOVE INTO AN AREA OF INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, BUT HAS MOD-
ERATELY INCREASED IN ITS POLEWARD OUTFLOW. RECENT ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS A MAJOR UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH IS DEEP-
ENING AND MOVING EASTWARD, POLEWARD OF TC 22S. THIS IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND BEGIN TO CREATE A WEAKNESS IN
THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE BETWEEN 24 AND 48 HOURS, WHICH WILL STEER THE
SYSTEM TO THE SOUTH. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 140000Z IS
21 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 141500Z AND 150300Z.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (ELIA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 525
NM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. IMPROVED
POLEWARD OUTFLOW HAS SUPPORTED WEAK INTENSIFICATION OF TC 22S
OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES
AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH HAS WEAKENED THE STEERING
ANTICYCLONE LOCATED EAST OF TC 22S, CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO TURN
POLEWARD. TC 22S WILL CONTINUE TRACKING POLEWARD ALONG THE

SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 141200Z IS 23 FEET.
