WTXS21 PGTW 20041026 19:30z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 261921Z OCT 04// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 130 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 8.5S3 54.6E5 TO 8.6S4 47.9E0 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 IM AGERY AT 261730Z9 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 8.7S5 53.9E7. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 15 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 8.8S6 54.7E6 IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 8.7S5 53.9E7, APPROXIMATELY 340 NM NORTHEAST OF MADAGASCAR. ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS A COMPACT LLCC WITH DEEP CONVECTION CONSOLIDATING OVER THE LLCC. 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES AN ENVIRONMENT OF LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND MODERATE DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED AT 1002 MB. DUE TO THE IMPROVING 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 271930Z2.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20041027 03:00z 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 02S WARNING NR 004 01 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTHIO MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE --- WARNING POSITION: 281200Z3 --- NEAR 8.4S2 43.8E5 MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 305 DEGREES AT 20 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 040 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 035 KT, GUSTS 045 KT RADIUS OF 034 KT WINDS - 050 NM NORTHEAST QUADRANT 070 NM SOUTHEAST QUADRANT 070 NM SOUTHWEST QUADRANT 050 NM NORTHWEST QUADRANT REPEAT POSIT: 8.4S2 43.8E5 --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 290000Z1 --- 7.6S3 40.6E0 MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 030 KT, GUSTS 040 KT VECTOR TO 24 HR POSIT: 275 DEG/ 15 KTS --- 24 HRS, VALID AT: 291200Z4 --- 7.3S0 37.5E5 MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 025 KT, GUSTS 035 KT DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER LAND VECTOR TO 36 HR POSIT: 280 DEG/ 14 KTS --- 36 HRS, VALID AT: 300000Z3 --- 6.9S5 34.8E5 MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 020 KT, GUSTS 030 KT DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER LAND --- REMARKS: 281500Z6 POSITION NEAR 8.2S0 43.0E7. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 270 NM EAST- SOUTHEAST OF DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 20 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 281130Z5 MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 AND 45 KNOTS. RECENT MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS ORGANIZED CYCLING CONVECTION AROUND AN ORGANIZED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 280836Z7 TRMM PASS INDICATES THE LLCC IS EXPOSED TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE DEEP CONVECTION. TC 02S IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF A MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE AND MAKE LANDFALL ALONG THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA IN 12 TO 24 HOURS. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS CONSIS- TING OF NOGAPS, GFDN, NCEP GFS, UKMET EGRR, AFWA MM5 AND WBAR ARE IN POOR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO. DYNAMIC AIDS EXHIBIT DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE ROUGHLY CENTERED EAST OF MADAGASCAR AND VARY IN THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE RIDGE BUILDS WESTWARD. THE INTENSITY OF TC 02S IS FORECAST TO DECREASE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO INTERACT WITH LAND AND ENCOUNTER AN ENVIRONMENT OF INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 281200Z3 IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 290300Z4 AND 291500Z7.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20041029 03:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// RMKS/ 1. TROPICAL CYCLONE 02S WARNING NR 005 01 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTHIO MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE --- WARNING POSITION: 290000Z1 --- NEAR 8.3S1 41.1E6 MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 270 DEGREES AT 16 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 055 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 025 KT, GUSTS 035 KT DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER REPEAT POSIT: 8.3S1 41.1E6 --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 291200Z4 --- 8.1S9 38.4E5 MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 020 KT, GUSTS 030 KT DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER LAND --- REMARKS: 290300Z4 POSITION NEAR 8.3S1 40.4E8. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 120 NM SOUTH- EAST OF DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 16 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 282330Z8 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 AND 30 KNOTS. A 281505Z1 QUIKSCAT PASS INDICATES AN OPEN WAVE TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST OF MADAGASCAR. RECENT ANIMATED WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO LONGER ANY CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF THIS SYSTEM. THE REMNANTS OF TC 02S ARE FORECAST TO MOVE OVER LAND WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 290000Z1 IS 14 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.//
