RMKS/
1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY SUVA
2. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT MORESBY AND
AMEMBASSY HONIARA SOLOMON ISLANDS
3. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS
POSSIBLE WITHIN A 125 NM RADIUS OF 7.9S6 170.0E8 WITHIN
THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.  AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS
TIME.  WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 25 TO 30
KNOTS.  METSAT IMAGERY AT 080430Z INDICATES THAT A
CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 8.0S8 170.0E8.  THE
SYSTEM IS QUASISTATIONARY.
4. REMARKS:
ANIMATED VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER HAS BECOME MORE ORGANIZED
OVER THE PAST 6-HOURS.  A SPIRAL LOW-LEVEL INFLOW PATTERN
HAS DEVELOPED AROUND THE SYSTEM.  THE UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW
HAS INCREASED AND HAS BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED.

REMARKS:
082000Z0 POSITION  6.8S4  168.4E9
TROPICAL CYCLONE 02P HAS FORMED IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC
APPROXIMATELY 300NM NORTHEAST OF SANTA CRUZ ISLAND
(WMO 91541).  POSITION IS BASED ON ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY AT 081730Z9 AND ERS2 SCATTEROMETER
PASSES FROM 072245Z0 AND 081122Z4. INITIAL INTENSITY
BASED ON A SHIP REPORT (3EST7) OF OVER 30 KNOTS AND
A SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 30 KNOTS. FORECAST
IS FOR A SLOW MOVEMENT TOWARD THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WHILE
THE CYCLONE CONTINUES TO CONSOLIDATE AS IT MOVES OUT
OF THE MONSOON TROUGH. JUSTIFICATION FOR CORRECTION:
MANOP TIME SHOULD HAVE READ 082100Z1. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 081800Z IS 09 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 PGFW
FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS AT

REMARKS:
092100Z2 POSITION  9.7S6  171.1E0
TROPICAL CYCLONE 02P (LUSI) IS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 10
KNOTS. THE WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON
091730Z0 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. CURRENT WIND RADII
ARE BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF THE SAME SATELLITE IMAGERY.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 02P (LUSI) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH 48 HOURS IN DEEP-LAYER
STEERING FLOW BETWEEN A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH TO THE
SOUTHWEST AND A MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST.
STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST THROUGH 36 HOURS; THEN UPPER-
LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE ABOVE THIS SYSTEM
AND INHIBIT FURTHER INTENSIFICATION. FORECAST WIND RADII
ARE BASED ON AN EXTRAPOLATION OF CURRENT WIND RADII.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 091800Z IS 14 FEET.

16.5S 176.0N. TC 02P IS BEGINNING TO BE AFFECTED BY
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. IT IS ANTICIPATED TO WEAKEN AS THE
SHEAR INCREASES, AS WELL AS BECOMING MORE INFLUENCED BY
LOWER LEVEL STEERING. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
110600Z8 IS 20 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 112100Z5 (DTG

REMARKS:
112100Z5 POSITION 19.5S5  177.1E6
TROPICAL CYCLONE 02P (LUSI) IS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 11
KNOTS.  THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, SCATTEROMETER DATA 11/1124Z0)
AND SYNOPTIC DATA FROM NANDI/NADI INTL, FIJI (WMO 91680).
THE SCATTEROMETER PASS SHOWED A CLEARLY DEFINED
CIRCULATION AT 18.4S3 175.6E9.  THIS POSITION WAS USED TO
DETERMINE BOTH SPEED AND MOTION FOR THIS 18Z WARNING.
FORECAST IS FOR A TURN TOWARD A MORE SOUTHERLY MOTION
AFTER THE 12 HOUR FORECAST POSITION AS TC 02P (LUSI) IS
INFLUENCED BY HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST.  THIS
INTERACTION WITH THE RIDGE WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT
WEAKENING DUE TO STRONG UPPER LEVEL WIND SHEAR FROM THE
WEST.  EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION WILL OCCUR WITHIN THE 36
TO 48 HOUR TIME PERIODS.  MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 111800Z IS 20 FEET.  NEXT WARNINGS AT 120900Z2 (DTG
120751Z6) AND 122100Z6 (DTG 121951Z9).//
