REMARKS:
120900Z POSITION NEAR 29.2N 142.5E.
12OCT20. TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 16W (CHAN-HOM), LOCATED 
APPROXIMATELY 138 NM NORTH OF CHICHI JIMA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD
AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL 
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A FULLY-EXPOSED SYSTEM WITH LOW-LEVEL 
CLOUD LINES WRAPPING INTO A DEFINED CENTER, WHICH SUPPORTS THE 
INITIAL POSITION WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. A 120648Z SSMIS 91GHZ IMAGE 
REVEALS SHALLOW BANDING WRAPPING INTO A DEFINED LOW-LEVEL 
CIRCULATION CENTER WITH NO DEEP CONVECTION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS 
ASSESSED AT 25 KNOTS BASED ON RECENT ASCAT DATA. ENVIRONMENTAL 
ANALYSIS INDICATES UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS WITH MODERATE (20-25 
KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, CONVERGENCE ALOFT AND SIGNIFICANT DRY 
AIR ENTRAINMENT. TD 16W IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE 
NORTHEAST PERIPHERY OF THE LOW-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND IS 
FORECAST TO DISSIPATE BY TAU 12. 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 120600Z IS 10 FEET. REFER TO TROPICAL STORM 18W 
(NANGKA) WARNINGS (WTPN33 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
