ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH TIGHTLY- CURVED CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A WELL-DEFINED CENTER. A 041245Z SSMIS IMAGE DEPICTS THE PRIMARY DEEP CONVECTIVE BAND WRAPPING FROM THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE INTO THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF A PARTIALLY-EXPOSED LLCC. A 040337Z ASCAT IMAGE INDICATES A SYMMETRIC CIRCULATION WITH NUMEROUS 25 TO 30 KNOT WIND BARBS. RECENT IMAGERY INDICATES CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION AND IMPROVED ORGANIZATION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 35 KNOTS BASED A FMEE DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 35 KNOTS, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A MARGINALLY-FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) OFFSET BY EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW, ENHANCED BY A DEEP MIDLATITUDE TROUGH POSITIONED TO THE SOUTHWEST. TC 22S IS TRACKING SOUTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS (STR) AND IS FORECAST TO RE-CURVE SOUTHEASTWARD AND TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN ENHANCED FLOW BETWEEN THE STR AND THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT, THEREFORE, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST TRACK. TC 22S IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) NEAR TAU 36 AS IT ENCOUNTERS STRONG VWS ASSOCIATED WITH MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES AND BEGINS INTERACTING WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. TC 22S SHOULD COMPLETE ETT BY TAU 72 AS IT GAINS FRONTAL CHARACTERISTICS, TRACKS OVER COOLER SST AND BECOMES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES. DUE TO THE MARGINAL CONDITIONS, TC 22S IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY TO A PEAK OF 45 KNOTS BEFORE WEAKENING AFTER TAU 36. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 041200Z IS 10 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 050300Z AND 051500Z.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (TWENTYTWO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 806 NM SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON RECENT MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY, INCLUDING A 042358Z SSMIS PASS. THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF 40 KNOTS IS SET SLIGHTLY ABOVE DVORAK SATELLITE ESTIMATES FROM PGTW, KNES, AND FMEE BASED ON STRUCTURE EVIDENT IN MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND EARLIER ASCAT DATA (041654Z) SHOWING 40 KNOT WIND BARBS NEAR THE CIRCULATION CENTER. THE CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE OF 22S HAS REMAINED GENERALLY DISORGANIZED OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, ALTHOUGH A SMALL PATCH OF DEEP CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED OVER THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER, AS EVIDENT IN THE 042358Z SSMIS IMAGE. TC 22S IS TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE SOUTHEASTWARD DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD IN THE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE CURRENT STEERING RIDGE AND A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THE TRACK FORECAST HAS SHIFTED EASTWARD FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING, PRIMARILY IN RESPONSE TO A SLIGHT EASTWARD REPOSITIONING OF PAST BEST TRACK POSITIONS AND A LARGER EASTWARD COMPONENT IN THE LAST 12 HOUR STORM MOTION THAN ANTICIPATED. INTERACTION WITH THE MIDLATITUDE SYSTEM WILL INDUCE THE FIRST PHASE OF EXTRATROPIAL TRANSITION BY TAU 24. TRANSITION INTO THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AS A FULLY EXTRATROPICAL LOW IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE BY TAU 48. SOME INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED IN THE NEAR TERM DUE TO GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND PASSAGE OVER WARM WATER. HOWEVER, DECREASING ALONG-TRACK SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND INCREASING SHEAR WILL HALT THE INTENSIFICATION TREND AFTER TAU 12. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THE CURRENT TRACK FORECAST, WHICH LIES CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS, BUT SLIGHTLY FASTER AND TO THE RIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR TYPICAL MODEL FORECAST TRENDS OBSERVED DURING RECURVATURE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 050000Z IS 12 FEET.

ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS THE BULK OF THE DEEP CONVECTION SHEARED TO THE SOUTHEAST ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAKENING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 051231Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE MSI AND SSMIS IMAGE WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF 40 KNOTS IS BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE FROM PGTW. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED IN A MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH MODERATE TO STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OFFSET BY GOOD OUTFLOW. TC 22S IS EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST. ADDITIONALLY, TC 22S IS FORECAST TO INTERACT WITH THE MIDLATITUDE SYSTEM, LEADING TO EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION (EET) BY TAU 12 AND IS EXPECTED TO COMPLETE EET BY TAU 36. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 051200Z IS 14 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (IVANOE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 995 NM SOUTHWEST OF COCOS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 25 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON RECENT SATELLITE POSITION FIXES FROM PGTW AND FMEE AND A 052347Z SSMIS PASS. THE INTENSITY OF 45 KNOTS IS CONSISTENT WITH PGTW DVORAK FIX DATA AND RECENT AUTOMATED INTENSITY ESTIMATES. A LARGE FLARE OF DEEP CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER FOR THE PAST 12 HOURS, ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY DURING THAT PERIOD. TC 22S IS ACCELERATING POLEWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE TO THE EAST. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. INTERACTION WITH A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH APPROACHING TC 22S FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL INDUCE THE FIRST PHASE OF EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. STRONG POLEWARD DIFFLUENCE SHOULD ENABLE TC 22P TO NEARLY MAINTAIN INTENSITY DESPITE PASSAGE OVER COOLER WATER AND INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. BY TAU 24, THE CYCLONE WILL BECOME FULLY EMBEDDED IN THE MIDLATITUDE BAROCLINIC ZONE AND COMPLETE THE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION PROCESS. THE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE CURRENT FORECAST, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 060000Z IS 16 FEET.
