TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S (GULA) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 500 NM SOUTH OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 22 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE SYSTEM HAS UNDERGONE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AND HAS ACCELERATED. CURRENT ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE STORM HAS BECOME FULLY EXTRATROPICAL AND IS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE MIDLATITUDE FLOW. STRONGER INTERACTION WITH THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES ALLOWED THE STORM TO UNDERGO EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION VICE THE PREVIOUSLY FORECAST DISSIPATION SCENARIO. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 020000Z IS 14 FEET.//
