WTPS21 PGTW 20061121 17:00Z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT/222351ZJUN2004// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN A 170 NM RADIUS OF 12.8S 161.7E 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 IMAGERY AT 211430Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 12.5S 162.0E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTHEASTWARD AT 04 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 12.9S 161.4E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 12.5S 162.0E, APPROXIMATELY 225 NM SOUTHEAST OF HONIARA, SOLOMON ISLANDS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED AND WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATE PERSISTENT CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) OVER THE SOUTHERN SOLOMON ISLANDS. THIS LLCC HAS REMAINED NEARLY QUASI-STATIONARY AND PRESSURE TRENDS FROM HONIARA INDICATED A 1 TO 2 MB DROP OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. A 211224Z TRMM MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS IMPROVED CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND FAVORABLE OUTFLOW UNDER THE AXIS OF AN UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. GIVEN THE 24 HOUR PRESSURE TRENDS AT HONIARA, FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT, AND IMPROVED BANDING FEATURES, 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 221700Z.// ========================================================================= WTPS31 PGTW 20061122 03:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// REF/A/MSG/NAVPACMETOCCEN/ PEARL HARBOR HI/211651ZNOV2006// AMPN/REF A IS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1.

THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED IN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN SUBTROPICAL RIDGES ANCHORED TO THE WEST AND TO THE EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE RIDGE TO THE EAST IS EXPECTED TO BUILD WESTWARD TO THE NORTH OF THE SYSTEM WHILE AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER EASTERN AUSTRALIA WEAKENS THE RIDGE TO THE WEST. THIS PROCESS SHOULD ALLOW THE EASTERN RIDGE TO BECOME THE DOMINANT STEERING INFLUENCE OVER TIME AND STEER THE SYSTEM IN A GENERALLY SOUTH- WARD DIRECTION.

THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND VERY GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THE SYSTEM COULD INTENSIFY MORE RAPIDLY THAN FORECAST IF THE APPROACHING TROUGH SPURS DEVELOPMENT A MORE VIGOROUS POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02P (YANI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260 NM SOUTH- SOUTHEAST OF HONIARA, SOLOMON ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED SATEL- LITE IMAGERY AND A 240906Z SSMI MICROWAVE PASS REVEAL THAT THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS BECOME SHEARED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM. OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS MICROWAVE IMAGERY HAS INDICATED THAT THE LLCC HAS BEGUN TO TRACK WESTWARD WITHIN THE LOW TO MID LEVEL SYNOPTIC FLOW. BASED ON THIS SHEARING OF TC 02P, THE INTENSITY FORECAST HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE GREATER INFLUENCE BY SHEAR OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN TC 02P WITH DISSIPATION EXPECTED AROUND TAU 36. THIS FORECAST IS BASED PRIMARILY ON PERSISTENCE OF THE SYSTEM OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AS MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES A CONTINUED TRACK SOUTHWARD. IT APPEARS THAT THE MODELS ARE STEERING THE SYSTEM AT A HIGHER LEVEL BASED ON GREATER VERTICAL EX- TENT OF TC 02P THAN IS OBSERVED. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 241200Z IS 19 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 250300Z AND 251500Z.// ========================================================================= WTPS31 PGTW 20061125 03:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// RMKS/ 1. TROPICAL CYCLONE 02P (YANI) WARNING NR 007 01 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTHPAC MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE --- WARNING POSITION: 250000Z --- NEAR 12.9S 161.4E MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 335 DEGREES AT 02 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 040 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 030 KT, GUSTS 040 KT DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER REPEAT POSIT: 12.9S 161.4E --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 251200Z --- 12.4S 160.9E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 020 KT, GUSTS 030 KT DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER --- REMARKS: 250300Z POSITION NEAR 12.8S 161.3E. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02P (YANI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 185 NM SOUTH- SOUTHEAST OF HONIARA, SOLOMON ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 02 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TC 02P NOW HAS A FULLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). CONVECTION IS SHEARED OVER 130 NM FROM THE LLCC, WHICH IS TRACKING SLOWLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOW-LEVEL SOUTH-EASTERLY FLOW DIVERGING OUT OF AN ANTICYCLONE NORTHWEST OF NEW ZEALAND. DUE TO HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IN THE REGION, CONSOLIDATION OF CON- VECTION OVER THE LLCC IS NOT EXPECTED. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THISSYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 250000Z IS 11 FEET.//
