1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
091 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 12.6S9 166.6W9 TO 14.0S5
163.4W4 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 30 TO 35 KNOTS. MET
SAT IMAGERY AT 121730Z4 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 12.9S2 166.0W3. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING EAST-NORTH
EASTWARD AT 05 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 13.4S8
167.0W4, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 12.9S2 166.0W3, APPROXIMATELY 290 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF PAGO PAGO, AMERICAN SAMOA. RECENT MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS CONTINUED ORGANIZATION OF CONVECTION OVER
A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A 121221Z9 AMSR-E PASS
DEPICTS A SMALL WELL ORGANIZED SYSTEM. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES
AN ENVIRONMENT OF FAVORABLE OUTFLOW WITH CONTINUED CROSS-EQUATORIAL
OUTFLOW TO THE NORTH, AND LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 30 TO 35 KNOTS.
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 1005 MB. 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 132200Z8.//

REMARKS:
140900Z4 POSITION NEAR 14.2S7 163.3W3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 18P (NANCY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 420 NM
EAST OF PAGO PAGO, AMERICAN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT
04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED
ON 140530Z3 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING IN-
TENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 90,
102, 115 AND 127 KNOTS. RECENT ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
STRONG OUTFLOW TO THE NORTH, EAST AND SOUTH, WHICH HAS AIDED IN
THE RAPID INTENSIFICATION OF THIS SYSTEM OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS.
TC 18P IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS
AS IT TRACKS SOUTHEASTWARD. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO TRACK SLIGHT-
LY SOUTHWESTWARD AT THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS IT INTERACTS
WITH TC 19P. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 140600Z1 IS 56 FEET.

REMARKS:
142100Z8 POSITION NEAR 15.9S5  160.5W2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 18P (NANCY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 390 NM
NORTH OF RARATONGA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 16 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 141730Z6
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 102, 115, AND
127 KNOTS. RECENT ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS GOOD POLEWARD
DIVERGENCE WHICH CONTINUES TO SUSTAIN THE SYSTEM. TC 18P IS
FORECAST TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND THEN
WEAKEN WITH THE APPROACH OF A MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH FROM THE WEST.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 141800Z4 IS 45 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 150900Z5 AND 152100Z9. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE

REMARKS:
151500Z2 POSITION NEAR 19.7S7 158.7W1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 18P (NANCY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 135 NM
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF RARATONGA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 14 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 151130Z1
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 90 AND 102 KNOTS.
RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS SIGNIFICANT OUT-
FLOW IN THE EASTERN SEMICIRCLE, HOWEVER MICROWAVE IMAGERY SHOWS A
BREAKDOWN IN DEEP CONVECTION WITHIN THE EYEWALL. DURING THE NEXT 12
HOURS, TC 18P IS FORECAST TO TRACK POLEWARD THEN BRIEFLY SOUTH-
SOUTH-WESTWARD IN RESPONSE TO A TRANSIENT MIDLATITUDE STEERING RIDGE.
AFTER TAU 36, THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD
AHEAD OF A MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH IN THE WESTERLIES. THE INTENSITY
OF TC 18P WILL ALSO DECREASE ONCE IT APPROACHES THE TROUGH DUE TO
INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 151200Z9 IS 27 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
160300Z0 AND 161500Z3. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 19P (OLAF)

OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 161730Z8

MICROWAVE IMAGERY REVEALS SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN DEEP CONVECTION
AND REFLECTS RAPID WEAKENING OF TC 18P. THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER ALTHOUGH WELL ORGANIZED HAS BECOME DECOUPLED FROM THE
CONVECTION AND IS FULLY EXPOSED TO THE WEST OF THE REMAINING
CONVECTION. THE REMNANTS OF TC 18P IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING
SOUTHWESTWARD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 161800Z6 IS 09 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 19P (OLAF) WARNINGS
