REMARKS:
010900Z POSITION NEAR 26.7S 179.5W.
01MAR26. TROPICAL CYCLONE 23P (URMIL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 458
NM SOUTH OF SUVA, FIJI, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 24 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
(MSI) DEPICTS ELONGATED AND HEAVILY SHEARED SYSTEM, WITH MAJORITY OF
THE REMAINING CONVECTION LOCATED POLEWARD AND EASTWARD OF THE
ASSESSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY ANALYZED AS UNDERGOING ITS SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION (STT),
WITH WARM CORE TEMPERATURE ANOMALY CONTAINED ONLY NEAR SURFACE,
INDICATING FRONTOGENESIS. COLD ANOMALY IS PRESENT IN WITHIN THE
UPPER-LEVELS. THE LOCATION OF TC 23P IS POLEWARD OF THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE AXIS AND THE SYSTEM IS APPROACHING EVEN MORE HOSTILE
ENVIRONMENT, WITH DECREASING OCEAN HEAT CONTENT AND RAPIDLY AND
DRASTICALLY INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. AS THE SYSTEM COMPLETES
THE TRANSITION WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS, IT IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN
WIND SPEEDS WELL ABOVE GALE FORCE (50 KTS). 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.
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE AT 010600Z IS 983 MB. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 010600Z IS 18 FEET.//
