Tropical Cyclone VINCENT [Australian Region][South Indian Ocean][South Pacific Ocean] |
WTXS21 PGTW 20010212 02:00z RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN A 200 NM RADIUS OF 15.8S4 110.8E0 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 112330Z0 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 15.9S5 110.8E0. THE SYSTEM IS QUASI-STATIONARY. 2. REMARKS: A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE HAS PERSISTED IN THE SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN, 410 NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY INDICATE A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH MOST OF THE CONVECTION WEST OF THE LLCC. UW-CIMSS ANALYSIS PRODUCT DEPICTS THE SYSTEM IS SLIGHTLY EQUATORWARD OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS IN A WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. ADDITIONALLY, A RECENT QUIKSCAT PASS CLEARLY DEPICTS A 20 KNOT LLCC. THE MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED NEAR 997 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 130200Z6.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20020212 09:00z SUBJ: TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING REF/A/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/120200Z FEB 01// AMPN/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// 1.
