REMARKS:
120300Z6 POSITION NEAR 4.8N2 157.3E6.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 31W HAS BEEN RELOCATED WITHIN THE NEAR-
EQUATORIAL TROUGH APPROXIMATELY 140 NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF POHNPEI. 
THE POORLY-DEFINED CENTER OF TD 31W HAS BEEN MOVING EASTWARD AT 08 
KNOTS DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CENTERS WITHIN 
THE LARGER-SCALE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION WHICH IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT 
TO DETERMINE THE EXACT LOCATION OF TD 31W. THE WARNING POSITION IS 
BASED ON A BLEND OF 112330Z0 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY 
AND NEARBY SURFACE DATA. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE 
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS FROM JTWC, SAB, AND 
AFWA. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 120000Z3 IS 12 FEET. REFER 
TO WWPW30 RJTX FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS 
AT 120900Z2, 121500Z9, 122100Z6 AND 130300Z7.//
