WTXS21 PGTW 981223 15:00z
1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY SUVA
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
200 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 14.2S7 178.1W7 TO 17.9S7
174.1E3 WITHIN THE NEXT 06 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 20 TO 30 KNOTS.
METSAT IMAGERY AT 231130Z0 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 15.3S9 179.7E4. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 13 KNOTS.
3. REMARKS:
THIS SUPERSEDES REF A.
THIS TCFA RE-ISSUED TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE TCFA BOX.
CENTRAL CONVECTION PERSISTS BUT ITS ORGANIZATION FLUCTUATES.
OUTFLOW IS GOOD TO FAIR FROM THE NORTHERN QUADRANT CLOCKWISE TO
THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN
TRANSFERRED TO JTWC GUAM AS IT CROSSES 180 DEGREES.
4. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 241500Z2.//

REMARKS:
232100Z8 POSITION NEAR 15.0S6 179.3W0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 09P HAS DEVELOPED NORTHEAST OF FIJI. DEEP
CONVECTION HAS FORMED OVER THE SYSTEM CENTER DURING THE PAST 06
HOURS AND OVERALL ORGANIZATION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED DURING THE
PAST 12 HOURS. UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW IS GOOD IN ALL QUADRANTS AND ALSO
CONTINUES TO IMPROVE. THIS SYSTEM MAY EXPERIENCE A PERIOD OF RAPID
INTENSIFICATION IN 12 TO 24 HOURS DURING THE NORMAL CONVECTIVE
MAXIMUM PERIOD DUE TO THE IMPRESSIVE LOW-LEVEL INFLOW. TC 09P HAS
BEEN TRACKING SLOWLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A
STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS VERY
ACLIMATOLOGICAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, SO WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE
DYNAMIC FORECAST AIDS AND THE NAVY NOGAPS MODEL FOR TRACK GUIDANCE.
STEADY TO RAPID INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST SINCE TC 09P IS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN IN A WEAK OR NO-SHEAR ENVIRONMENT AND OVER WARM WATERS
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
231800Z4 IS 14 FEET. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS

REMARKS:
240900Z5 POSITION NEAR 15.5S1 178.5W1.
TC 09A HAS BEEN RELOCATED FUTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST. THIS WAS BASED
ON A MICROWAVE IMAGER PASS (240548Z3) AND INFRARED SATELLITE
ANIMATION. TROPICAL CYCLONE 09P (TC 09P) HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 6
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY (60
KNOTS) ARE BASED ON A COMBINATION OF INFRARED AND MICROWAVE FIXES.
ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TC 09P HAS BECOME BETTER
ORGANIZED AND STARTED TRACKING MORE SOUTHWARD THAN PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST. TC 09P IS BEGINNING TO TRACK TOWARDS A WEAKNESS IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TC 09P IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO TRACK TOWARDS
THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE. TC 09P IS ALSO
FORECAST TO GRADUALLY INCREASE IN INTENSITY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
PERIOD AS CONDITIONS REMAIN FAVORABLE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 240600Z2 IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 242100Z9 (DTG

REMARKS:
242100Z9 POSITION NEAR 17.2S0 177.4W9.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09P (CORA) HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT
07
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED UPON
241730Z7 ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY
IS BASED UPON A SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 75 KNOTS.
ANIMATED INFRARED AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES TC 09P (CORA) IS
TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS EAST. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SECOND HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE TO THE SOUTH OF TC 09P (CORA), ITS STEERING INFLUENCE
SHOULD BE MITIGATED BY AN APPROACING TROUGH. HENCE, TC 09P (CORA)
SHOULD MOVE AROUND THE RIDGE TO ITS EAST AND BEGIN A MORE
SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK AS IT MOVES SOUTH OF THE RIDGE AXIS. WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY INDICATES THE OUTFLOW ALOFT REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND TC 09P (CORA) SHOULD CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
241800Z2 IS 16 FEET. SINCE THE FORECAST TRACK REMAINS ON THE EASTERN
SIDE OF THE DATELINE, THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING BY THE JOINT TYPHOON
WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN WEST GU). THE NEXT WARNING WILL BE
ISSUED BY NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HAWAII (SEE WHPS31 PHNC

CONTINUES TO BE WEAK, AS ANALYZED AT 500 MBS, HENCE THE 5-8 KT
SPEED OF MOVEMENT. BY 36 HOURS, 09P STARTS TO BECOME AFFECTED BY
AN APPROACHING MID LEVEL TROUGH TO THE SOUTH WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR
A MORE SOUTHEAST MOVEMENT. 09P IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN SLOWLY

REMARKS:
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 270600Z IS 26 FEET. LATEST IR
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT IS BEGINNING
TO OCCUR IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF CORA. AS THIS CYCLONE GAINS
LATITUDE, CURRENT MODELS INDICATE THAT CONTINUED ACCELERATION AND
WEAKENING WILL OCCUR. THIS DUE TO COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMPS AND
INCREASED VERTICAL SHEAR ALONG THE LATEST FORECAST TRACK.

REMARKS:
LATEST INFRARED IMAGERY INDICATES SYSTEM HAS UNDERGONE
SIGNIFICANT SHEAR AND OVERALL CONVECTION HAS DECREASED.
THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY BEING STEERED AND ACCELERATED BY MID
LATITUDE UPPER LEVEL FLOW AND IS BECOMING EXTRATROPICAL. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 280600Z IS 16 FEET. THIS IS THE FINAL
WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE NAVAL PACIFIC METEOROLOGY AND
OCEANOGRAPHY CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY
MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION.//
