WTXS21 PGTW 20090309 01:30z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVMARFCSTCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 130 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 15.6S 83.7E TO 18.4S 87.2E 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 082330Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 15.9S 84.1E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 10 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 14.8S 82.3E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 15.9S 84.1E, APPROXIMATELY 860 NM SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA. ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS CONTINUED TO CONSOLIDATE WITH DEEP CONVECTION PERSISTING OVER THE SOUTHERN QUADRANT OF THE LLCC. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE LLCC IS CURRENTLY LOCATED EQUATORWARD OF THE UPPER LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS, WHICH IS PROVIDING AMPLE POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THE LOCATION OF THE LLCC IN RELATION TO THE RIDGE AXIS IS HELPING TO KEEP THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR LOW. AN UPPER-LEVEL LONGWAVE TROUGH UPSTREAM HAS BEEN HELPING TO ENHANCE POLEWARD OUTFLOW, BUT HAS KEPT THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR HIGH ON THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT OF THE AREA. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1003 MB. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 100130Z.// ========================================================================= WTXS32 PGTW 20090309 15:00z 1. TROPICAL CYCLONE 19S (NINETEEN) WARNING NR 001 01 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTHIO MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE --- WARNING POSITION: 091200Z --- NEAR 18.4S 85.9E MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 160 DEGREES AT 11 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: 18.4S 85.9E --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 100000Z --- 19.2S 86.6E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 040 KT, GUSTS 050 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY VECTOR TO 24 HR POSIT: 165 DEG/ 04 KTS --- 24 HRS, VALID AT: 101200Z --- 19.9S 86.8E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 035 KT, GUSTS 045 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY VECTOR TO 36 HR POSIT: 215 DEG/ 02 KTS --- 36 HRS, VALID AT: 110000Z --- 20.3S 86.5E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 035 KT, GUSTS 045 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY VECTOR TO 48 HR POSIT: 240 DEG/ 02 KTS --- EXTENDED OUTLOOK: 48 HRS, VALID AT: 111200Z --- 20.5S 86.1E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 035 KT, GUSTS 045 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY --- REMARKS: 091500Z POSITION NEAR 18.6S 86.1E. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 19S (NINETEEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1030 NM SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE CYCLONE HAS CONSOLIDATED DESPITE MARGINAL UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS. POLEWARD OUTFLOW HAS INCREASED AHEAD OF AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH UPSTREAM, FUELING DEEP CONVECTION OVER AN ALREADY WELL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER AS INDICATED BY EARLIER SCATTEROMETRY DATA. ON THE OTHER HAND, MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WITHIN THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE IS DISRUPTING SYMMETRY OF THE DEEP CONVECTION ABOUT THE LLCC, AND MORE RECENT ANIMATED WATER VAPOR INDICATES THAT EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW HAS BECOME STIFFLED AS WELL. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND FMME, WHICH BOTH INDICATE A 35- KNOT SYSTEM. THE STORM IS FORECAST TO SLOW AS THE NEAR EQUATORIAL STEERING RIDGE WEAKENS, ALLOWING FOR THE LOW LEVEL EASTERLIES TO TRACK THE SYSTEM PROGRESSIVELY WESTWARD. INTENSITIES WILL HOVER NEAR 35 KNOTS FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS THE STORM CONTINUES TO CONTEND WITH MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE SLIGHTLY OVER THE NEXT 2 DAYS. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A, NAVMARFCSTCEN 090121Z MAR 09 TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS21 PGTW 090130 ) MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 091200Z IS 8 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 100300Z AND 101500Z. ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20090310 03:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVMARFCSTCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 19S (NINETEEN) WARNING NR 002// RMKS/ 1. TROPICAL CYCLONE 19S (NINETEEN) WARNING NR 002 01 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTHIO MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE --- WARNING POSITION: 100000Z --- NEAR 19.1S 87.4E MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 090 DEGREES AT 04 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 060 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 030 KT, GUSTS 040 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER REPEAT POSIT: 19.1S 87.4E --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 101200Z --- 19.6S 87.5E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 025 KT, GUSTS 035 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER VECTOR TO 24 HR POSIT: 250 DEG/ 03 KTS --- 24 HRS, VALID AT: 110000Z --- 19.8S 86.9E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 025 KT, GUSTS 035 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER --- REMARKS: 100300Z POSITION NEAR 19.2S 87.4E. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 19S (NINETEEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 690 NM SOUTHWEST OF COCOS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE CYCLONE HAS WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY UNDER THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). THE EFFECTS OF THE VWS ARE EVIDENT IN A 091919Z AMSRE IMAGE SHOWING A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE CONVECTION SHEARED TO THE SOUTHEAST. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED UPON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS, AND A 091536Z ASCAT PASS SHOWING 20 TO 25 KNOT WINDS NEAR THE CENTER. THE LLCC IS FORECAST TO BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY UNDER WEAKENING STEERING INFLUENCE AS THE STRUCTURE OF THE STORM DEGRADES WITH INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVMARFCSTCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 100000Z IS 10 FEET.
