AMPN/REF IS TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS21 PGTW 280230)//
RMKS/1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
150 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 6.8S 86.7E TO 13.5S 88.9E WITH-
IN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY IS-
SUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.  WINDS
IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT
290000Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 7.4S
87.1E.  THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 07 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: AN AREA OF CONVECTION NEAR 7.4S 87.1E, APPROXIMATELY
870 NM EAST OF DIEGO GARCIA. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY
INDICATES THAT THE DISTURBANCE HAS MAINTAINED INTENSITY AND OVERALL
ORGANIZATION OVER THE PAST 12-24 HOURS. A 282011Z AMSU IMAGE
DEPICTS CONVECTIVE BANDING SOUTH WRAPPING INTO THE SOUTHWEST
QUADRANT. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO INDICATE A FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT WITH WEAK TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD
POLEWARD OUTFLOW, ENHANCED BY A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH SOUTH OF THE
DISTURBANCE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20
TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR
1004 MB. BASED ON THE OVERALL FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT AND WELL-DEFINED
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS GOOD.
THIS SUPERSEDES REF A.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED
BY 300130Z.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S (NONAME) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 310 NM
WEST OF COCOS ISLAND HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 06 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY UNDER 20 TO 25
KNOTS OF VERTICAL WIND AND MOST OF THE DEEP CONVECTION HAS
DISSIPATED. TS 01S IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO TRACK TO THE SOUTH-
EAST AND RAPIDLY WEAKEN. THE SYSTEM WILL DISSIPATE AS A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER BEFORE TAU 12. 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 300600Z IS 10 FEET.//
