REMARKS:
200300Z POSITION NEAR 40.4N 157.8E.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 19W (SONCA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 650 NM EAST
OF MISAWA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED EAST-NORTHEASTWARD AT 32 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
VERIFIES THE EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION PROCESS (XTT) IS WELL
UNDERWAY. THE CLOUD SHIELD IS EXPANDING AS TS 19W MERGES WITH A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC. TS 19W WILL COMPLETE
XTT AND TRANSITION INTO A HIGH-GALE TO STORM FORCE MID-LATITUDE LOW
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM
BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVMARFCSTCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL
BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 200000Z IS 15 FEET. REFER TO TYPHOON 18W (ROKE)
WARNINGS (WTPN31 PGTW)FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//

REMARKS:
190900Z POSITION NEAR 36.9N 147.8E.
TYPHOON (TY) 19W (SONCA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 355 NM SOUTHEAST
OF MISAWA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHEASTWARD AT 21 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS
CONVECTION REMAINS SOLID WITH SLIGHT DEFORMATION ALONG THE NORTHEAST
QUADRANT IN RESPONSE TO THE STRONG WESTERLIES. THE SYSTEM HAS
MAINTAINED A SMALL 10-NM IRREGULAR EYE. THE INITIAL POSITION IS
BASED ON THE MSI IMAGERY WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY
IS BASED ON PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD DVORAK ESTIMATES. TY 19W HAS BEGUN
EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ET) AND WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE
NORTHEASTWARD, BECOMING A COLD CORE LOW BY TAU 36. IT IS FORECAST
TO WEAKEN AS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR INCREASES AND SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES COOL. THE AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN
EXCELLENT AGREEMENT. THIS TRACK FORECAST IS SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN
CONSENSUS TO OFFSET KNOWN MODEL TENDENCY TO SLOW DOWN DURING ET.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 190600Z IS 24 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS
AT 191500Z, 192100Z, 200300Z AND 200900Z. REFER TO TROPICAL STORM
