TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) HAS FORMED IN THE SOUTHERN INDIAN
OCEAN AND IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 6 KNOTS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON 081130Z3 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON 081130Z3 SATELLITE INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS. TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) IS TRACKING
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING FLOW FROM THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH. THIS STEERING SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD. TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) IS FORECAST TO
INTENSIFY CLIMATOLOGICALLY AT ONE DVORAK T-NUMBER PER DAY AS IT
WILL REMAIN IN AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR INTENSIFICATION. WIND
RADII ARE BASED ON CLIMATOLOGY FOR AN AVERAGE-SIZED TROPICAL
CYCLONE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 081200Z1 IS 12 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 090300Z2 (DTG 090151Z6) AND 091500Z5 (DTG

TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
081730Z9 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY
IS BASED ON A 081730Z9 SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 55 KNOTS
FROM PGTW. TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) HAS RAPIDLY INTENSIFIED
OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. 081730Z9 INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS CONTINUED
CLOUD TOP COOLING AND IMPROVED ORGANIZATION WITH A SUGGESTION
OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WARM SPOT INDICATIVE OF A 55 KNOT SYSTEM.
081800Z7 OBSERVATION FROM COCOS ISLAND (WMO 96996) SHOW SUSTAINED
34 KNOTS (TEN-MINUTE AVERAGE) WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 47 KNOTS (TEN-
MINUTE AVERAGE). TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) HAS BEEN
MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING FLOW FROM THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH. THIS SHOULD REMAIN THE DOMINANT STEERING
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. HOWEVER, AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE
TROUGH MAY WEAKEN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SUFFICIENTLY TO IMPART A
MORE SOUTHWARD COMPONENT TO THE TRACK AFTER THE 36-HOUR FORECAST
POSITION. TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO
INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD AS IT SHOULD REMAIN IN AN
ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION. WIND RADII
HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED BASED ON SURFACE SYNOPTIC DATA. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 081800Z IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
090300Z2 (DTG 090151Z6) AND 091500Z5 (DTG 091351Z9).//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 04S (ALISON) HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD
JUST SOUTH OF COCOS ISLAND AT 6 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS.
THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED UPON ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND A 082330Z6 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGE. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED UPON SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) IS TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER
THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH.
ALTHOUGH THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY REMAINS BASICALLY THE SAME FOR
TC 04S (ALISON), THE FORECAST TRACK WAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY WESTWARD
AND SLOWED DUE TO THE SHIFTING INFLUENCE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) SHOULD CONTINUE TO
INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD AS THE UPPER LEVEL
ENVIRONMENT REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR FUTHER DEVELOPMENT. THE WIND
RADII ARE BASED UPON CLIMATOLOGY FOR AN AVERAGE-SIZED TROPICAL
CYCLONE AND HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SURFACE SYNOPTIC
DATA FROM COCOS ISLAND. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 090000Z9
IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 091500Z5 (DTG 091351Z9) AND 100300Z4

TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST AT

ARE BASED ON 101130Z6 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND ANIMATION. THE
TRACK WAS CONFIRMED BY 100343Z1 SCATTEROMETRY DATA. TC 04S IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THROUGH THE 12-HOUR PERIOD, TC 04S IS
EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT INTENSITY AS IT IS INFLUENCED BY A
PASSING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. BY THE 36-HOUR POINT, THE PASSING
TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE A SOUTHWARD TURN IN THE FORECAST TRACK.
TC 04S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 101200Z4 IS 16
FEET. REFER TO WWIO31 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION.

ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S
(ALISON) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE SOUTH OVER THE LAST 12 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 102330Z9 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY.
THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF SATELLITE
DERIVED INTENSITY ESTIMATES. THE CURRENT WIND RADII HAVE BEEN
ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY BASED ON 100343Z1 SCATTEROMETRY DATA. TC 04S IS
FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING GENERALLY TOWARDS THE SOUTH
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY, THE SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN DUE TO COLDER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND
INCREASED WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 110000Z2
IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 111500Z8 (DTG 111351Z2) AND 120300Z6

TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 3
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED UPON

VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING A TIGHTLY WRAPPED LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION INDICATIVE OF A MORE INTENSE SYSTEM. TROPICAL CYCLONE
04S (ALISON) IS AN EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION WITH ITS DEEP
CONVECTION SHEARED TO THE SOUTHEAST. THE FORECAST TRACK CONTINUES
THE SYSTEM TOWADS THE WEST-NORTHWEST BECOMING MORE WESTWARD WITHIN

INTENSITY ARE BASED UPON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 04S (ALISON) CAN NOT BE DISTINGUISHED ON ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY AS THE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER HAS SHEARED TO THE SOUTHEAST. TROPICAL CYCLONE
04S (ALISON) IS RAPIDLY DISSIPATING OVER WATER DUE TO THE
AFOREMENTIONED HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 130000Z4 IS 12 FEET. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS
SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN WEST
GU). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF
REGENERATION.//
