WTPS21 PGTW 20021225 08:30z
SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 250821Z DEC 02//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 10.2S3 179.9W6 TO 11.6S8 176.0E4
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
250530Z5 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 10.6S7
178.9E5. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 9.1S0 178.8W4 HAS
BEEN RELOCATED NEAR 10.6S7 178.9E5, APPROXIMATELY 340 NM NORTH OF
THE FIJI ISLANDS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED AND MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES CYCLIC, BUT ORGANIZED, DEEP CONVECTION
WITH INCREASED POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THE 200 MB ANALYSIS DEPICTS WEAK
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD DIFFLUENCE ALOFT OVER THE REGION.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS.
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 1003 MB. BASED ON THE
INCREASED OUTFLOW AND ORGANIZATION OF THE SYSTEM, THE POTENTIAL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS UPGRADED TO GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
260830Z9.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06P, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 345 NM NORTH OF THE
FIJI ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 251130Z2 ENHANCED

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06P (ZOE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 385 NM
NORTHEAST OF VANUATU, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 271130Z4 ENHANCED
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 155 KNOTS. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS AN
20 NM EYE AND CONTINUED RAPID INTENSIFICATION OVER THE PAST 12
HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD FOR THE
NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS ALONG THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE. AN APPROACHING MID-LEVEL TROUGH SHOULD
CREATE A WEAKNESS SOUTH OF THE CYCLONE RESULTING IN A POLEWARD TURN
AFTER 36 HOURS. TC 06P IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY OVER THE
FORECAST PERIOD NEAR ITS MAXIMUM POTENTIAL. THE DYNAMIC AIDS
CONSISTING OF GFDN, NGPS, NCEP AVIATION (AVN), AFWA MM5, AUSTRALIAN
TCLAPS AND TLAPS MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO.
OUR FORECAST IS BASED ON PERSISTENCE AND A CONSENSUS OF ALL THE

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06P (ZOE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 550 NM
WEST-NORTHWEST OF FIJI, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEAST AT 03 KNOTS
DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 282330Z8
ENHANCED INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AS WELL AS SSM/I
PASSES. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 6.0/6.5 (115/127 KTS). WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND TC 06P'S
PAST 12 HOUR PERSISTENCE INDICATE THAT A BAROCLINIC SYSTEM, MOVING
TOWARD NEW CALEDONIA, HAS BEGUN TO INFLUENCE THE STEERING
ENVIRONMENT. EXPECT A SOUTHEASTWARD MOTION THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE PERIOD. NWP ALL INDICATE MOVEMENT WITHIN THE NORTHWESTERLIES.
HOWEVER, GFS, TLAPS, AND THE UKMET SPECTRAL SHOW A TURN MORE TO THE
SOUTHWEST IN RESPONSE TO AN INCREASING VERTICAL SHEAR ENVIRONMENT.
OUR FORECAST IS BASED ON AN NWP CONSENSUS WITH MORE WEIGHT ON THE
NOGAPS, GFDN AND AFWA MM5 SOLUTIONS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 290000Z1 IS 35 FEET. REFER TO WWPW30 RJTX 290000 FOR FURTHER SEA
HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS AT 291500Z7 AND 300300Z6.//

291500Z7 POSITION NEAR 13.9S3 170.8E6.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06P (ZOE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 475 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF FIJI, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 08 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 291130Z6 ENHANCED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 102 TO 127, ADJUSTED DOWNWARD TO
ACCOUNT FOR DVORAK CONSTRAINTS AS WELL AS RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE BAROCLINIC
SYSTEM JUST TO THE SOUTHWEST OF NEW CALEDONIA CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE
THE STEERING ENVIRONMENT. A SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD MOTION IS FORECAST
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD UNDER THIS INFLUENCE. BY THE END OF THE PERIOD
EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION WILL HAVE BEGUN. ALL THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC
AIDS INDICATE MOVEMENT WITHIN THE NORTHWESTERLIES, HOWEVER, BY THE
END OF THE PERIOD, AVN AND EGRR INDICATE A MORE SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK
IN RESPONSE TO AN INCREASING VERTICAL SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. OUR
FORECAST IS BASED ON AN NWP CONSENSUS WITH MORE EMPHASIS ON THE
NOGAPS, GFDN AND AFWA MM5 SOLUTIONS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 291200Z4 IS 29 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 300300Z6 AND 301500Z9.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06P (ZOE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 390 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF FIJI, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEAST AT 07 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 292330Z9 ENHANCED
INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A RECENT SSM/I PASS. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF
5.0/5.5 (90 KTS/102 KTS). WATER VAPOR ANIMATION, A 291850Z5 QUIKSCAT
PASS, AND THE MOST RECENT SSM/I PASSES ALL DEPICT THAT THE SYSTEM HAS
COMPLETED THE FIRST STAGE OF AN EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. THE SYNOPTIC
DATA AND IMAGERY REVEAL A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE OF DEEP CONVECTION AND
RAINBANDS OVER THE WEST QUADRANT AND A DRY SLOT BETWEEN THE RAINBANDS
OVER THE NORTH AND EAST QUADRANTS. IN ADDITION TO A CLASSIC ASYMMETRIC
APPEARANCE, THE SSM/I PASS DEPICTED EYEWALL COLLAPSE OVER THE NORTH
QUADRANT. THE 85 GHZ PCT AND LIQUID WATER IMAGES ALSO SHOWED THAT THE
HEAVY PRECIPITATION WAS RESTRICTED TO THE SOUTH QUAD. TC 06P SHOULD
CONTINUE ON A SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK AND COMPLETE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION
BY THE 36 HOUR PERIOD. OUR FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF GFDN,
NOGAPS, BOM TCLAPS, THE AFWA MESOSCALE (MM5), AND THE UKMET GLOBAL.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 300000Z3 IS 29 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31

REMARKS:
010300Z4 POSITION NEAR 20.6S8 174.8E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06P (ZOE), LOCATED OVER THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC
OCEAN, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 312330Z2 ENHANCED
INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 3.0 (45 KTS). VISIBLE
AND WATER VAPOR ANIMATION DEPICT MULTI-LAYERED CLOUDINESS OVER THE
SOUTH QUADRANT AS WELL AS INDICATIONS OF WARM FRONTOGENESIS. THE
NORTH QUADRANT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW WEAK CLOUD LINES, IS NOW
DEEP CONVECTION FREE. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS POLAR FINGER JET
SUPPORT TO THE WEST OF THE EXPOSED SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM SHOULD
CONTINUE ON A SOUTHWARD TRACK WITHIN THE STEERING ENVIRONMENT
CREATED BY A LOW/MID RIDGE EXTENDING EQUATORWARD FROM NEW ZEALAND.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 010000Z1 IS 12 FEET. REFER TO
WWPW30 RJTX 010000 FOR FURTHER SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. 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.//
