REMARKS:
081500Z POSITION NEAR 18.3S 163.3W.
08FEB24. TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (OSAI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 272
NM NORTHWEST OF RAROTONGA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 09
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) AND 
SHORTWAVE INFRARED (SWIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A RAGGED AND EXPOSED 
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE LLCC REMAINS DEVOID OF 
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY DUE TO THE STRONG UPPER-LEVEL WESTERLIES ABOVE THE 
CIRCULATION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS SET WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON 
THE EXPOSED LLCC IN THE EIR AND SWIR. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS 
ASSESSED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON A 080900Z ASCAT-B BULLSEYE PASS 
SHOWING 25-30 KNOT MAXIMUM WINDS ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY AND 
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OUTSKIRTS OF THE CIRCULATION. THE 080600Z BEST 
TRACK INTENSITY HAS BEEN REANALYZED TO 30 KNOTS BASED ON THIS ASCAT AS 
WELL AND THUS THE SYSTEM HAS ALREADY DISSIPATED BELOW THE 35 KNOT 
WARNING THRESHOLD. SHEAR IS CURRENTLY ASSESSED AT 30-40 KNOTS FROM THE 
WEST, WHILE DRY AIR HAS ENGULFED THE SYSTEM IN THE MID-LEVELS, LEAVING 
LITTLE TO NO OPPORTUNITY FOR REINTENSIFICATION THOUGH SOME OF THE 
GUIDANCE SUGGEST THAT IT COULD MAKE A COMEBACK AFTER TAU 72. TRACK 
GUIDANCE SHOWS AN ERRATIC, MEANDERING TRACK WITH A WIDE SPREAD IN THE 
MODELS WHICH SHOW OPTIONS TOWARDS MOST POINTS OF THE COMPASS. 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 081200Z IS 992 MB. MAXIMUM 
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 081200Z IS 15 FEET.
REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 10P (NAT) FINAL WARNING (WTPS31 PGTW). 
REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 12P (TWELVE) WARNINGS (WTPS33 PGTW) FOR SIX-
