REMARKS:
032100Z POSITION NEAR 18.5S 162.2E.
03FEB22. TROPICAL CYCLONE 09P (NINE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 353
NM NORTHWEST OF NOUMEA, NEW CALEDONIA, HAS TRACKED EAST-
SOUTHEASTWARD AT 15 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 09P REMAINS IN 
A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT AND IS NO LONGER EXPECTED TO FURTHER
INTENSIFY. THE CURRENT INITIAL INTENSITY OF 20 KTS IS BASED OFF A 
1450Z AMSR2 WIND SPEED PRODUCT SHOWING 18-20 KT WINDS JUST NORTH OF 
THE ASSESSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO 
CONTINUE SOUTHWESTWARD. DESPITE THE FINAL WARNING OF 09P, THERE 
REMAINS POTENTIAL FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE ACTIVITY IN THE CORAL SEA 
WITHIN THE NEXT 96 HOURS. THE 12Z MODEL RUN OF GFS IS CURRENTLY 
SHOWING TWO CYCLONES FORMING AROUND TAU 84: ONE BETWEEN VANUATU AND 
NEW CALEDONIA AND ANOTHER TO THE EAST, JUST SOUTH OF FIJI, WHICH 
COULD POSSIBLY BE THE REMNANTS OF 09P. AROUND TAU 102, GFS DEPICTS 
THE EASTERN CYCLONE PASSING ROUGHLY 300NM WEST OF TONGA. CURRENT 
MODEL RUNS OF EC AND NVGM ONLY DEPICT DEVELOPMENT OF THE WESTERN 
CYCLONE NEAR VANUATU AND NEW CALEDONIA. 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 031800Z IS 8 FEET.//
