SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 050451Z FEB 03//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 11.7S9 113.3E8 TO 12.2S5
107.6E4 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 25 TO 30 KNOTS.
METSAT IMAGERY AT 050430Z2 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 11.7S9 112.6E0. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 06
KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 11.9S1 113.6E1, IS
NOW LOCATED NEAR 11.7S9 112.6E0 APPROXIMATELY 180 NM SOUTH OF JAVA.
ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS IMPROVED CONVECTION NEAR A LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES GOOD
DIFFLUENCE ALOFT AND WEAK TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE
AREA. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30
KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB.
BASED ON THE IMPROVED ORGANIZATION OF THE CONVECTION, THE POTENTIAL
FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS NOW UPGRADED TO GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
060500Z1.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S (FIONA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 250 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 12 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
091130Z4 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY
IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 102 KNOTS.
ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE DEEP
CONVECTION HAS WEAKENED AND THE EYE HAS FILLED. COOLER AIR
ASSOCIATED WITH A MIGRATORY HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE
AFFECTING THE SYSTEM. TC 14S IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
ALONG THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. TC
14S IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN SLOWLY IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE
DYNAMIC AIDS, INCLUDING NGPS, GFDN, UKMET GLOBAL (EGRR), AFWA MM5

REMARKS:
121500Z9 POSITION NEAR 21.7S0 92.0E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S (FIONA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 640 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT
08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
121130Z8 VISIBLE AND ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF 55 KNOTS. ANIMATED VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE
DEEP CONVECTION HAS WEAKENED OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. TC 14S IS
FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS THE
LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH MOVES EASTWARD. TC
14S IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN OVER THE FORECAST PERIOD AS THE SYSTEM
ENCOUNTERS INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE DYNAMIC AIDS
CONSISTING OF GFDN, UKMET GLOBAL (EGRR), AND NCEP AVIATION (AVN) ARE
IN FAIR AGREEMENT. OUR FORECAST IS BASED ON PERSISTENCE AND A BLEND
OF THE DYNAMIC AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 121200Z6 IS
17 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 130300Z7 AND 131500Z0. REFER TO TROPICAL
CYCLONE WARNINGS FOR TC 16S (GERRY)(WTXS33 PGTW), TC 17S (HAPE)
(WTXS32), AND TC 18S (WTXS34 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.//

REMARKS:
130300Z7 POSITION NEAR 22.2S6 92.3E4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S (FIONA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1210 NM
SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT
03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. TC 14S HAS LOST ALL ASSOCIATED DEEP
CONVECTION, AND THE SYSTEM HAS DE-COUPLED. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 130000Z4 IS 16 FEET. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS
SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN). THE
SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 16S (GERRY) WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-
HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S (HAPE) WARNINGS
(WTXS33 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE
18S WARNINGS (WTXS34 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.//
