REMARKS:
260300Z POSITION NEAR 17.3N 53.3E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 02A (MEKUNU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 41 NM WEST
OF SALALAH, OMAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY 
DEPICTS RAPIDLY WARMING CLOUD TOPS AS 02A WEAKENS, BUT THE SYSTEM 
IS REMAINING ORGANIZED WITH BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE CENTER AT 
PRESENT. THE POSITION IS BASED ON THE EYE WHICH IS STILL VISIBLE 
IN SOME FRAMES, AS WELL AS THE CENTER OF ROTATION IN THE SALALAH 
RADAR LOOP. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 85 KNOTS, AS 02A 
BEGINS TO WEAKEN FROM LAND INTERACTION. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM 
SALALAH REPORT 52 KT SUSTAINED WINDS 40 MILES FROM THE SYSTEM 
CENTER. TC 02A HAS MADE LANDFALL AND WILL CONTINUE TRACKING INLAND 
TO THE NORTHWEST AS A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS TO THE NORTH. THE 
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN RAPIDLY OVER THE DRY, MOUNTAINOUS 
TERRAIN, AND WILL DISSIPATE BEYOND TAU 24. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE 
REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ABOUT THE NORTHWESTWARD TRACK AND 
EVENTUAL WESTWARD TURN OF THE REMNANTS AFTER DISSIPATION, 
THEREFORE, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. 
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.//
