REMARKS:
131500Z POSITION NEAR 8.8N 82.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05B (WARD), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 200 NM
NORTHEAST OF COLOMBO, SRI LANKA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LLCC
WITH WEAKENING CONVECTION. A 131144Z SSMIS IMAGE INDICATES A WELL
DEFINED LLCC WITH CURVED BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE SYSTEM CENTER AND
CONVECTION DISPLACED 60 NM TO THE EAST. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
CONTINUES TO SHOW GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS
BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES THAT TC WARD IS STILL LOCATED IN AN AREA OF WEAK WESTERLY
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 05B IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING
WESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A WEAK LOW-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
TO THE NORTH. THE MAJORITY OF NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
SUPPORT A WESTWARD TRACK THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. TC 05B IS
EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE AS IT MAKES LANDFALL OVER SRI LANKA NEAR TAU
24. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 131200Z IS 12 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 140300Z AND 141500Z.//

TC Ward is quite small. Not surprising, considering that it is in the North Indian Ocean.

140300Z POSITION NEAR 8.9N 81.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05B (WARD), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 160 NM NORTH-
EAST OF COLOMBO, SRI LANKA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS STARTED TO WEAKEN AS IT
SLOWLY TRACKS TO THE WEST. CONVECTION IS SPORADICALLY DEVELOPING AND
DISSIPATING OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. CURRENT FORECAST HAS THE SYSTEM
MOVING TOWARDS SRI LANKA AND MAKE LANDFALL WITHIN THE NEXT 6 TO 12
HOURS. FURTHER WEAKENING IS EXPECTED UPON MAKING LANDFALL WITH SRI
LANKA. ONCE THE LLCC MOVES BACK OVER WATER, AROUND TAU 24, THERE IS
NOT EXPECTED TO BE ANY ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT. COMPLETE DISSIPATION
IS EXPECTED AS TC 05B MAKES LANDFALL IN SOUTHERN INDIA. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 140000Z IS 11 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
140900Z, 141500Z, 142100Z AND 150300Z.//
