REMARKS:
231500Z POSITION NEAR 11.6N 48.2E.
23NOV20. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 03A (GATI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 223
NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF ADEN, YEMEN, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL 
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS AN EXPOSED, ELONGATED LOW-LEVEL 
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH RAPIDLY DECAYING DEEP CONVECTION. A 
231023Z AMSR2 89GHZ COMPOSITE IMAGE INDICATES SHALLOW BANDING 
WRAPPING INTO AN ELONGATED, DEFINED LLCC WITH WEAK CONVECTIVE 
BANDING OVER THE WESTERN SEMICIRCLE, WHICH SUPPORTS THE INITIAL 
POSITION WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 
35 KNOTS BASED ON A PGTW DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 2.5 
(35 KNOTS) AND A SHIP REPORT OF 32 KNOTS, LOCATED NEAR 12.6N 47.6E 
ABOUT 85NM NORTHWEST OF THE CENTER. TC 03A IS FORECAST TO TRACK 
WESTWARD TO WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN COAST OF SOMALIA 
THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR 
AGREEMENT SUPPORTING THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK WITH MODERATE 
CONFIDENCE. THE SYSTEM WILL WEAKEN THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE 
TO LAND INTERACTION AND WEAK DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT 
WAVE HEIGHT AT 231200Z IS 9 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 232100Z, 240300Z 
AND 240900Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 04B (FOUR) WARNINGS (WTIO32 
PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
