WTXS21 PGTW 20080324 02:30z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 225 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 11.6S 102.0E TO 13.3S 97.4E WITHIN THE NEXT 06 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 240000Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 11.8S 101.6E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: AN AREA OF CONVECTION NEAR 11.8S 101.6E, APPROXIMATELY 275 NM EAST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS PERSISTED OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. ANIMATED METSAT IMAGERY INDICATES THE DISTURBANCE HAS BEGUN TO CONSOLIDATE UNDER A VERY FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT. CONTINUED LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW WILL ALLOW THE DISTURBANCE TO STRENGTHEN INTO A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE. THE DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO TRACK GENERALLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25-30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. DUE TO INCREASED CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION, 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 250230Z.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20080324 15:00z SGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// REF/A/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/240221Z MAR 08// AMPN/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1.

A 240822Z TRMM 37GHZ IMAGE AND A 241042Z AMSU IMAGE DEPICT A WELL-DEFINED LOW- LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) POSITIONED SLIGHTLY EAST OF A DEVELOPING CDO FEATURE. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW AHEAD OF A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM AND A DEVELOPING ANTICYCLONE OVER THE CENTER. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT WITH WEAK TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND HIGH OCEAN HEAT CONTENT. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE HIGH END OF DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 30-35 KNOTS. TC 26S IS FORECAST TO TRACK INCREASINGLY SOUTHWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE STEERING RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN RELATIVELY WEAK AS THE SYSTEM CONSOLIDATES, THEREFORE, TRACK SPEEDS ARE SLOW THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS FORECAST IS SLIGHTLY FASTER AND WEST OF THE CONSENSUS DUE TO POOR INITIAL- IZATION OF THE GFNI TRACKER AND INITIAL ERRONEOUS EQUATORWARD TRACK. TC 26S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT A 10-15 KNOT PER DAY RATE DUE TO FAVORABLE OUTFLOW AND SST.

THE SYSTEM IS UNDER AN AREA OF LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE UPPER LEVEL SUB- TROPICAL RIDGE AXIS. THE INITIAL INTENSITY ESTIMATE IS BASED ON PGTW, ABRF AND KNES DVORAK ANALYSES. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY BEING STEERED ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A SYNOPTIC SCALE RIDGE LOCATED TO THE EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO ENCOUNTER HIGHER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND DECREASED SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN TAU 36 AND TAU 48 WHICH WILL HINDER FURTHER INTENSIFI- CATION.

THE STORM HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AND CONTINUES TO DISPLAY A RAGGED, 18 NM DIAMETER EYE FEATURE.

THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY UNDER HIGH SOUTH- EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND IN COOL AND UNSUSTAINABLE WATERS. THERE IS DECREASED CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION OF THE SYSTEM AS THE LLCC WEAKENS AND BROADENS. INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON MULTIPLE AGENCY DVORAK ESTIMATES. GIVEN THE CURRENT WEAKENING TREND OF 25 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AND POOR ENVIRONMENT THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DEVIATION FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST PHILOSOPHY. THE STORM IS NOW EXPECTED TO FULLY DISSIPATE OVER WATER BY TAU 36 PRIOR TO COMPLETING EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. THE STORM WILL GENERALLY TRACK SOUTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A MERIDIONALLY-AMPLIFIED SYNOPTIC SCALE RIDGE, BUT AT A MUCH SLOWER SPEED THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECASTED. THE DECREASE IN SPEED IS A FACTOR OF THE LOW LEVEL STEERING ENVIRONMENT BECOMING A GREATER CONTRIBUTOR TO TRACK SPEED AS THE STORM WEAKENS DUE TO HIGHER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND DECREASING SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES.
