WTPS21 PGTW 20080109 13:30z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 135 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 19.6S 176.1W TO 23.7S 174.1W 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 091200Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 20.1S 175.6W. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWARD AT 04 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 19.4N 175.6W, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 20.1S 175.6W, APPROXIMATELY 360 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF SUVA, FIJI. A 090940Z 89 GHZ AMSU-B MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A WELL-ORGANIZED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 090528Z QUIKSCAT PASS INDICATES 25 TO 30 KNOT WINDS AT THE STORM CENTER. THE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT HAS BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT AS THE SYSTEM HAS MOVED AWAY FROM THE INFLUENCE OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT HAD BEEN INHIBITING CONVECTION OVER THE LLCC. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. DUE TO THE IMPROVED UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 101330Z. ========================================================================= WTPS31 PGTW 20080110 03:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING REF/A/MY/091321Z JAN 08// AMPN/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P WARNING NR 001 01 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTHPAC MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE --- WARNING POSITION: 100000Z --- NEAR 21.5S 175.8W MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 200 DEGREES AT 05 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 WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY REPEAT POSIT: 21.5S 175.8W --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 101200Z --- 22.6S 175.5W MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 040 KT, GUSTS 050 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY RADIUS OF 034 KT WINDS - 040 NM NORTHEAST QUADRANT 040 NM SOUTHEAST QUADRANT 035 NM SOUTHWEST QUADRANT 035 NM NORTHWEST QUADRANT VECTOR TO 24 HR POSIT: 140 DEG/ 08 KTS --- 24 HRS, VALID AT: 110000Z --- 23.9S 174.4W MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 045 KT, GUSTS 055 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY RADIUS OF 034 KT WINDS - 050 NM NORTHEAST QUADRANT 050 NM SOUTHEAST QUADRANT 045 NM SOUTHWEST QUADRANT 045 NM NORTHWEST QUADRANT VECTOR TO 36 HR POSIT: 125 DEG/ 09 KTS --- 36 HRS, VALID AT: 111200Z --- 24.9S 172.7W MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 040 KT, GUSTS 050 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER RADIUS OF 034 KT WINDS - 045 NM NORTHEAST QUADRANT 045 NM SOUTHEAST QUADRANT 040 NM SOUTHWEST QUADRANT 040 NM NORTHWEST QUADRANT VECTOR TO 48 HR POSIT: 105 DEG/ 09 KTS --- EXTENDED OUTLOOK: 48 HRS, VALID AT: 120000Z --- 25.4S 170.8W MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 030 KT, GUSTS 040 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER --- REMARKS: 100300Z POSITION NEAR 21.8S 175.7W. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 11P (NONAME) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 385 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF SUVA, FIJI, HAS TRACKED SOUTH- SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE CURRENT STORM POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON DVORAK SATELLITE FIXES FROM PGTW, PHFO, AND NFFN. THESE FIXES JUSTIFY AN INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS. THE STORM IS FORECAST TO BEGIN TRACKING TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TROUGHING TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM AND RIDGING TO THE NORTHEAST. THE SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY ACCELERATE AS IT MOVES TO THE SOUTHEAST. TC 11P IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING FAVORABLE OUTFLOW INTO AN UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE STORM. THIS FAVORABLE OUTFLOW IS EXPECTED TO ALLOW THE STORM TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AFTER THIS TIME, THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK OVER WATER WITH LOWER OCEAN HEAT CONTENT AND THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE. THESE NEGATIVE EFFECTS WILL PREVENT ANY FURTHER INTENSIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISSIPATION OF TC 11P BY TAU 48. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A, NAVPACMETOCCEN 091321Z JAN 08 TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTPS21 PGTW 091330) MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 100000Z IS 12 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 11P (ELISA) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 415 NM SOUTH- EAST OF SUVA, FIJI, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. TC 11P HAS UNDERGONE SLIGHT INTENSIFICATION OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS, WITH GOOD OUTFLOW TO THE EAST ALLOWING THIS DEVELOPMENT. A 100616Z SSMI IMAGE SHOWS THAT CONVECTION IS LIMITED PRIMARILY TO THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MID-LATITUDE TROUGHING TO THE SOUTHWEST AND RIDGING TO THE NORTHEAST. THE FORECAST TRACK GENERALLY TO THE SOUTHEAST IS BASED ON THE CONSENSUS OF THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. THE APPROACHING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH WILL INCREASE THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE SYSTEM HAMPERING DEVELOP- MENT AFTER TAU 24, AND ULTIMATELY CAUSING DISSIPATION NEAR TAU 48. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 100600Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 102100Z AND 110900Z.// ========================================================================= WTPS31 PGTW 20080110 21:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 11P (ELISA) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 525 NM SOUTH- EAST OF SUVA, FIJI, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. CURRENT STORM POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON DVORAK SATELLITE FIXES FROM PGTW, KNES, AND NFFN WHICH INDICATE A WEAKENING TREND AND PROVIDE JUSTIFICATION FOR AN INITIAL INTENSITY OF 45 KNOTS. RECENT ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES A DEGRAD- ATION IN THE UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MID-LATITUDE TROUGHING TO THE SOUTHWEST AND RIDGING TO THE NORTHEAST. AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS SOUTH- EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS, VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE DUE TO AN APPROACHING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH, AND TC 11P WILL ALSO BEGIN MOVING OVER SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER WATER. THIS INCREASE IN VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, INTERACTION WITH LOWER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND DEGRADED OUTFLOW WILL PREVENT FURTHER INTENSIFICATION OF TC 11P, AND DISSIPATION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR NEAR TAU 36. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 101800Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 110900Z AND 112100Z.// ========================================================================= WTPS31 PGTW 20080111 09:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 11P (ELISA) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 630 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF SUVA, FIJI, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE SYSTEM HAS UNDERGONE WEAKENING OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, AND IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE THIS WEAKENING TREND, RESULTING IN DISSIPATION NEAR TAU 24. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS THE SYSTEM HAS ENCOUNTERED INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND LOWER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. 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. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 110600Z IS 11 FEET.//
