WARNING POSITION AND CURRENT INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS ARE BASED ON 050530Z VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THIS SYSTEM HAS CONTINUED WEAKENING RAPIDLY AND HAS SPUN OFF A SMALLER SECONDARY LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION TO THE NORTH. PANCHO-HELINDA IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE DISSIPATING AND GRADUALLY TURN TOWARD THE WEST IN SHALLOW STEERING FLOW TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TROPICAL CYCLONE 19S IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER WITHIN 48 HOURS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 050600Z IS 10 FEET.

THE SYSTEM IS NOT WELL-DEFINED IN INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AS IT HAS LOST MOST OF ITS DEEP CONVECTION. THEREFORE, THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED PRIMARILY ON 051703Z SATELLITE-BASED MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) DATA, WHICH DISPLAYS A WELL- DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CENTER. SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN 24 HOURS. NEXT WARNINGS AT 060900Z5 (DTG 060753Z1). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 051800Z IS 15 FEET.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 970206 09:00z 1.

VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF A CLEARLY DEFINED LOW- LEVEL CYCLONIC CIRCULATION WITH MOST OF THE CENTRAL CONVECTION LOCATED TO THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM CENTER. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN WEST GU). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 060600Z2 IS 15 FEET.//
