REMARKS:
080300Z1 POSITION NEAR 11.2S4 70.0E7.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260 NM SOUTHWEST OF
DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 02 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 072330Z5 ENHANCED
INFRARED AND RECENT MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35
KNOTS. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES CYCLIC DEEP CONVECTION
HAS INCREASED, AND HAS BEGUN TO WRAP INTO THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS FAVORABLE DIFFLUENCE
ALOFT, AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE SYSTEM IS MINIMAL. TC 09S IS
FORECAST TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE INITIALLY, THEN MORE
SLOWLY AS THE SYSTEM ENTERS INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR TOWARD
THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS CONSISTING OF
NGPS, NCEP AVIATION (AVN), UK MET OFFICE (EGRR), AND BETA ADVECTION
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO. THIS FORECAST IS
BASED ON PERSISTENCE AND A CONSENSUS OF THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 080000Z8 IS 14 FEET. THIS WARNING

DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 09 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 082330Z4 ENHANCED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 TO 50 KNOTS. ANIMATED
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES DEEP CONVECTION HAS INCREASED, AND
CONTINUED TO WRAP INTO THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC).
UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS FAVORABLE DIFFLUENCE ALOFT, MINIMAL
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND A WELL DEVELOPED POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL.
TC 09S WILL TRACK SOUTHWARD IN RESPONSE TO MID-LEVEL STEERING
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST OF TC 09S AND A
FILLING MID-LEVEL TROUGH TO THE SOUTHWEST. BY 24 HOURS TC 09S WILL
TURN SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD IN RESPONSE TO STEERING FLOW ASSOCIATED
WITH A MID-LEVEL RIDGE DEVELOPING TO THE SOUTHEAST ALONG 30 SOUTH.
TC 09S IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE FOR THE
NEXT 36 HOURS. NO FURTHER INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED AS THE SYSTEM
ENTERS INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR BY THE END OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS CONSISTING OF NGPS, NCEP AVIATION

REMARKS:
100300Z4 POSITION NEAR 17.9S7 70.9E6
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09S (EBULA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 600 NM
SOUTH OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AT 08 KNOTS
DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 092330Z7
ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 65 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES DEEP CONVECTION IS INCREASING OVER THE
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS
POLEWARD OUTFLOW CONTINUES TO BE STRONG AHEAD OF A LONGWAVE TROUGH.
TC 09S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OUT 24 HOURS AS A
MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE RIDGE PASSES SOUTH OF SYSTEM. AFTERWARDS, TC 09S
WILL TURN SOUTHEAST AS THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE PROPAGATES PAST. TC 09S
IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY AT A NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE FOR THE NEXT
12 HOURS, THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT ENCOUNTERS INCREASING VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, CONSISTING OF NGPS, GFDN,
NCEP AVIATION (AVN), UK MET OFFICE (EGRR), AND BETA ADVECTION MODELS
ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON
PERSISTENCE AND A CONSENSUS OF THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 100000Z1 IS 21 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT

DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 102330Z9
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 AND 65 KNOTS.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT
WRAPPING IN FROM WEST OF THE SYSTEM, WITH SHEARING ALSO
INDICATED IN THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE. TC 09S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK
GENERALLY SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH 24 HOURS AND THEN TURN MORE
SOUTHEASTWARD IN RESPONSE TO A MID-LATITUDE FRONTAL SYSTEM
APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. TC 09S IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD, AND WILL BEGIN THE TRANSITION TO AN

MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 120000Z3 IS 20 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.//
