WTXS21 PGTW 20011121 00:30z RMKS/ 1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT MORESBY 2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 200 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 6.7S3 130.9E3 TO 7.3S0 124.6E3 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 202300Z7 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 6.7S3 130.3E7. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS. 3. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 6.6S2 132.0E6 IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 6.7S3 130.3E7, APPROXIMATELY 200 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF TIMOR IN THE BANDA SEA. ANIMATED VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES INCREASED ORGANIZATION OF THE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE LLCC. THE 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES THE REGION IS EQUATORWARD OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE BUT BENEATH REGION OF WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 1003 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS NOW GOOD. 4. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 220030Z7.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20011121 09:00z 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 03S HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE BANDA SEA AND HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWEST AT 14 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 210530Z1 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 TO 45 KNOTS. VISIBLE ANIMATION DEPICTS SIGNIFICANT ORGANIZATION OF THE CONVECTION PARTICULARLY OVER THE VORTEX CENTER DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER NORTHWEST AUSTRALIA IS FORECAST TO REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY WITH A SLIGHT WEAKENING TREND THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE UPPER-LEVEL SUB-EQUATORIAL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO RE-ESTABLISH OVER THE TRACK BY THE 48 HOUR PERIOD. THE FORECAST IS BASED ON CLIMATOLOGICAL AND STATISTICAL MODELS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 210600Z9 IS 08 FEET. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A, NAVPACMETOCCEN 210021Z NOV 01 TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS21 PGTW 210030) NEXT WARNINGS AT 212100Z6 AND 220900Z3. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 04S (NO NAME) WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20011121 21:00z 1. TROPICAL CYCLONE 03S WARNING NR 002 02 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONES IN SOUTHIO MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE --- WARNING POSITION: 211800Z2 --- NEAR 7.4S1 126.2E1 MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 260 DEGREES AT 14 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 060 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 025 KT, GUSTS 035 KT DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER REPEAT POSIT: 7.4S1 126.2E1 --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 220600Z0 --- 7.8S5 123.8E4 MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 020 KT, GUSTS 030 KT DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER --- REMARKS: 212100Z6 POSITION NEAR 7.5S2 125.6E4. TROPICAL CYCLONE 03S, LOCATED OVER THE BANDA SEA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 14 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 211730Z4 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS AND SYNOPTIC REPORTS OF 15 KNOTS. SATELLITE ANIMATION DEPICTS DEEP CONVECTION, BUT NO ORGANIZED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION. RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY INDICATES POSSIBLE LINEAR CONVERGENCE. SYNOPTIC REPORTS INDICATE PRESSURES OF 1012 MB. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 211800Z2 IS 8 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 04S WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.//
