HONIARA SOLOMON ISLANDS
3. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
A 300 NM RADIUS OF 16.7S4 154.3E3 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 191251Z INDICATES THAT A
CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 16.5S2 153.0E9. THE SYSTEM IS
QUASI-STATIONARY AT 00 KNOTS.
4. REMARKS:
A 191251Z9 SCATTEROMETER PASS INDICATES A BROAD CIRCULATION IN
THE CORAL SEA ASSOCIATED WITH A PERSISTENT AREA OF CONVECTION.
THE CIRCULATION APPEARS AS A DEVELOPING MONSOON DEPRESSION WITH
MAXIMUM WINDS ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES SUSTAINED INTENSE
CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 48 HOURS. SEA LEVEL PRESSURES ARE NEAR
997MB WITHIN THE MONSOON TROUGH. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES
GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD.

ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND IS CONSISTANT WITH A
210944Z0 MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED UPON A
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 35 KNOTS AND IS CONSISTANT
WITH A 202330Z0 SCATTEROMETER PASS. ANIMATED INFRARED AND WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATE TC 13P HAS BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED OVER THE
PAST 12 HOURS. ALTHOUGH THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
ASSOCIATED WITH TC 13P HAS BEEN BROAD IN NATURE AND DIFFICULT TO
PINPOINT, THE MICROWAVE IMAGERY IMPLIES THE LLCC MAY BE BECOMING
BETTER ORGANIZED WITH CONVECTION FINALLY WRAPPING AROUND THE LLCC.
TC 13P IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD IN THE WAKE OF TC 11P
(DANI) THOUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. HOWEVER, THERE IS A LOW
PROBABILITY ALTERNATE TRACK SCENARIO. TC 11P (DANI) MAY BUILD A
RIDGE TO ITS NORTHWEST AS IT MOVES OUT OF THE AREA STRONG ENOUGH TO
GIVE A MORE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD BEND TO TC 13PS TRACK AFTER THE 24
HOUR FORECAST POSITION. DUE TO THE FAVORABLE OUTFLOW ALOFT, TC 13P
SHOULD CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD.
JUSTIFICATION FOR RELOCATION: TO FAVOR THE LATEST SATELLITE FIXES
WHICH ARE CONSISTANT WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED MICROWAVE IMAGE.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 211200Z6 IS 13 FEET. NEXT

AT 24 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED
ON 222330Z2 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON A COMBINATION OF THE PREVIOUS WARNING, RECENT SYNOPTIC
REPORTS, AND SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES WHICH DEPICT A
WEAKENING INTENSITY STRUCTURE. TC 13 (OLINDA) CONTINUES TO FOLLOW
IN THE WAKE OF TC 11P (DANI) ALONG THE SOUTHEAST-NORTHWEST ORIENTED
MONSOON TROUGH. TC 13P (OLINDA) IS FORECAST TO REMAIN UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST, MOVING
THE SYSTEM TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. COOLER SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND INCREASING SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO HINDER
SIGNIFICANT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEMS AS IT CONTINUES ON
ITS SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK. TC 13P (OLINDA), THEREFORE, IS FORECAST TO
REMAIN ABOUT THE SAME INTENSITY OVER THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 230000Z IS 18 FEET. REFER TO WWPN31 PGFW

TROPICAL CYCLONE 13P (OLINDA) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE EAST-NORTHEAST
AT 13 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED
ON 232300Z0 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T2.5 (35 KNOTS)
AND THE PREVIOUS WARNING. TC 13P (OLINDA) HAS CONTINUED TO MOVE
UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS NORTH.
THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE WITHIN THIS STEERING FLOW DURING
THE NEXT 24 HOURS, AFTER WHICH THE SYSTEM SHOULD ENTER A REGION OF
WEAKER STEEING BETWEEN THE CURRENT DOMINANT RIDGE AND ANOTHER
RIDGE TO THE EAST. TC 13P (OLINDA) IS FORECAST TO TURN MORE
SOUTHEASTWARD IN RESPONSE TO THIS CHANGE IN STEERING FLOW AFTER THE
24 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD. AN ALTERNATIVE SCENERIO WOULD CONTINUE
THE SYSTEM TOWARDS THE EAST-NORTHEAST IF THE CURRENT STEERING FLOW
REMAINS DOMINANT. TC 13P (OLINDA) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
WEAKEN AND BEGIN EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION AFTER THE 12 HOUR PERIOD.
THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BE FULLY EXTRATROPICAL BY THE 36 HOUR
FORECAST POSITION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 240000Z6 IS
15 FEET. REFER TO WWPN30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 241500Z2 (DTG 241353Z8) AND 250300Z0 (DTG
250153Z6). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 14P (PETE) WARNINGS (WTPS33

TROPICAL CYCLONE 13P (OLINDA) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE EAST-NORTHEAST
AT 17 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED
ON 241130Z1 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY ANALYSIS. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T2.0
(30 KNOTS). ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TC 13P (OLINDA) HAS
BECOME A SHEARED SYSTEM WITH ONLY THE LOW-LEVEL PORTION REMAINING
AROUND THE SYSTEM, BUT IMAGERY SHOWS LITTLE CONVECTION. THE WIND RADII
IS OMITTED FOR SYSTEMS 35 KNOTS OR LESS. SYNOPTIC DATA DOES INDICATE
30 KNOT WINDS EXTEND OUT APPROXIMATELY 180NM FROM THE SYSTEM CENTER.
TC 13P (OLINDA) HAS CONTINUED TO MOVE UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS EAST. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
WITHIN THIS LOW-LEVEL STEERING FLOW AS IT TRANSITIONS TO AN EXTRATROPICAL
CYCLONE BY THE 24 HOUR POINT. TC 13P (OLINDA) IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN
ITS INTENSITY AND BEGIN EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION AFTER THE 12 HOUR
PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 241200Z9 IS 15 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 250300Z0 (DTG 250153Z6) AND 251500Z3 (DTG 251353Z9). REFER

TROPICAL CYCLONE 13P (OLINDA) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE EAST-
SOUTHEAST AT 15 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION FROM PREVIOUS THE
WARNING WHICH UTILIZED SCATTEROMETER AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGES.
TC 13P (OLINDA) WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK TOWARDS THE EAST-SOUTHEAST
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD UNDER THE STEERING
INFLUENCE OF THE SHALLOW RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST. THE SYSTEM HAS
BECOME EXTRATROPICAL AND ALL THE ASSOCIATED CONVECTION HAS
DISSIPATED. THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION, HOWEVER, HAS REMAINED INTACT
AND WILL CONTINUE ON ITS CURRENT TRACK FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
PERIOD. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT
TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR). THE SYSTEM
WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14P (PETE) WARNINGS (WTPS33 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-
HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 15S (DAMIEN) WARNINGS
