TROPICAL CYCLONE 04P HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE SOUTH PACIFIC CONVERGENCE ZONE ABOUT 410 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF FIJI. TC 04P HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 19 KTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 041730Z5 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND MICROWAVE IMAGES. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON QUIKSCAT DATA. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND MICROWAVE IMAGES DEPICT THAT THE SYSTEM HAS BEGUN INTERACTION WITH A BAROCLINIC ZONE APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THE FORECAST TRACK IS BASED ON NOGAPS, GFS, AND THE UKMET OFFICE GLOBAL MODEL. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 041800Z3 IS 15 FEET. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A, NAVPACMETOCCEN 041121Z DEC 02 TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTPS21 PGTW 041130 ) NEXT WARNINGS AT 050900Z4 AND 052100Z8.// ========================================================================= WTPS31 PGTW 20021205 09:00z SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// RMKS/ IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY SUVA AMEMBASSY SUVA REQ PASS TO USAID OFDA ADVISOR 1. TROPICAL CYCLONE 04P (YOLANDE) WARNING NR 002 01 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTHPAC MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE --- WARNING POSITION: 050600Z1 --- NEAR 21.2S5 172.9W9 MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 120 DEGREES AT 12 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 060 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 035 KT, GUSTS 045 KT BECOMING EXTRATROPICAL REPEAT POSIT: 21.2S5 172.9W9 --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 051800Z4 --- 22.1S5 171.4W3 MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 030 KT, GUSTS 040 KT EXTRATROPICAL --- REMARKS: 050900Z4 POSITION NEAR 21.4S7 172.5W5. TROPICAL CYCLONE 04P (YOLANDE) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 510 NM EAST- SOUTHEAST OF FIJI. TC 04P HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 12 KTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 050530Z3 MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND MULTIPLE MICROWAVE IMAGES. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND MICROWAVE IMAGES INDICATE THE SYSTEM HAS NEARLY COMPLETED EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION THROUGH CONTINUED INTERACTION WITH A BAROCLINIC ZONE TO THE SOUTHWEST. THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) IS NOW FULLY EXPOSED, WITH VERY LITTLE REMAINING DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE LLCC. THE FORECAST TRACK IS BASED ON A BLEND OF ALL AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 050600Z1 IS 13 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.//
