Tropical Cyclone Lee
WTXS21 PGTW 20071114 16:30z
MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI//
SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
100 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 8.3S 91.9E TO 10.5S 88.6E 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 28 TO 32 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT
141430Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 8.7S
91.6E.  THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 06 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 6.5S 91.2E
IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 8.7S 91.6E, APPROXIMATELY 375 NM WEST-NORTHWEST
OF THE COCOS ISLANDS. RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS CONVECTION CONSOLIDATING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERI-
PHERY OF A WELL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER ALSO EVIDENT
IN A 141109Z SSMI PASS. RECENT DVORAK T-NUMBERS FROM VARIOUS REPORT-
ING AGENCIES AND SATELLITE WIND-DERIVED INTENSITY ESTIMATES SUGGEST
THAT MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS HAVE INCREASED OVER THE PAST 06
TO 12 HOURS. THE DISTURBANCE LIES NEAR THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF AN
EXTENSIVE UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE, WITH MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
AND FAVORABLE DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 28 TO 32 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED
TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. DUE TO AN IMPROVING LOW LEVEL SIGNATURE, 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
151630Z.

REMARKS:
142100Z POSITION NEAR 9.4S 90.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 03S (LEE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 375 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF COCOS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. TC 03S HAS UNDERGONE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT
OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, WITH SATELLITE DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES
REACHING 2.5/2.5 (PGTW) AND 3.0/3.0 (KNES AND APRF). THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS CONSOLIDATED AS SEEN IN A 141622Z AMSU
MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRACKING SLOWLY SOUTHWEST-
WARD ON THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TC 03S
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO TRACK SLOWLY TO THE SOUTHWEST THROUGHOUT
THE FORECAST PERIOD. SLOW INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED AS THE SYSTEM
IS EXPERIENCING MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND LOW OCEAN HEAT
CONTENT. WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN NEAR THE END OF THE FORE-
CAST PERIOD, ALLOWING INTENSIFICATION TO OCCUR AFTER TAU 48. THIS
WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A, NAVPACMETOCCEN 141621ZNOV07

REMARKS:
150900Z POSITION NEAR 11.0S 90.1E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 03S (LEE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 395 NM WEST
OF COCOS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST 06 HOURS. TC 03S HAS CONTINUED TO DEVELOPMENT AND INTENSIFY
OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, WITH SATELLITE DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES
REACHING 3.5/3.5 (PGTW, KNES, AND APRF). THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC) HAS CONSOLIDATED AND IS BEGINNING TO SHOW A MICROWAVE
EYE FEATURE AS SEEN IN A PARTIAL 150407Z TRMM IMAGE. THE SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD ON THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TC 03S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO TRACK TO
THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AND THEN SOUTHWESTWARD AFTER TAU 12. GRADUAL IN-
TENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED AS THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE
LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, LOW OCEAN HEAT CONTENT THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. THE OBJECTIVE FORECAST AIDS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS
SCENARIO. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 150600Z IS 16 FEET.

WEST OF COCOS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. TC 03S HAS CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT AND IN-
TENSIFICATION OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, WITH SATELLITE DVORAK INTENSITY
ESTIMATES REACHING 4.0/4.0 (PGTW, KNES AND APRF). THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) APPEARS TO BE DEVELOPING AN EYE-LIKE
FEATURE IN MICROWAVE IMAGERY, AS SEEN IN A 151558Z AMSU IMAGE. THE
SYSTEM CONTINUES TO TRACK SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD ON THE NORTHWESTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TC 03S IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH TAU 24 BEFORE TURNING MORE WEST-
WARD THROUGH TAU 48. GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED AS THE SYS-
TEM CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND LOW OCEAN
HEAT CONTENT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE OBJECTIVE FORECAST AIDS
ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO, ALTHOUGH THIS FORECAST
FAVORS THE WEBER BAROTROPIC MODEL IN THE NEAR TERM TRACK. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 151800Z IS 22 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
160900Z AND 162100Z.//

REMARKS:
160900Z POSITION NEAR 12.0S 87.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 03S (LEE-ARIEL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
975 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD
AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. TC 03S HAS MAINTAINED ITS
INTENSITY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS DUE TO GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW,
BUT MARGINAL OCEAN HEAT CONTENT AND LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR. SATELLITE DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGED FROM
3.5/3.5 (FMEE) TO 4.0/4.0 (PGTW AND KNES). THE SYSTEM IS TRACK-
ING IN A WEAKER STEERING ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL
RIDGING TO ITS EAST-NORTHEAST AND A STRENGTHENING SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF THE STORM. TC 03S WILL
BEGIN TO TRACK MORE RAPIDLY TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST, AS THE STR
BECOMES THE MAIN STEERING INFLUENCE PRIOR TO TAU 12. THE STORM
WILL INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY THROUGH TAU 24 DUE TO THE FAVORABLE POLE-
WARD OUTFLOW. AFTER THIS TIME, SOME WEAKENING IS EXPECTED DUE TO
A DECREASE IN POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND CONTINUED LOWER OCEAN HEAT
CONTENT. THE OBJECTIVE FORECAST AIDS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH
THIS SCENARIO. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 160600Z IS
22 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 162100Z AND 170900Z.//

MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY SHOWS A RECENT FLARE OF DEEP CONVECTION,
BUT THE STORM CONTINUES TO APPEAR TO BE HINDERED BY AN UPPER

SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A DEEP SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE TO THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. TC 03S IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN
INTENSITY THROUGH TAU 24 AND THEN WEAKEN SLIGHTLY DUE TO THE

SOUTHWESTWARD OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS UNTIL THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ONCE
AGAIN BECOMES THE DOMINANT STEERING MECHANISM AND INDUCES A TURN BACK
TOWARD THE WEST. MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND MODEST OCEAN HEAT
CONTENT ARE EXPECTED TO BALANCE FAVORABLE POLEWARD OUTFLOW, KEEPING
STORM INTENSITY NEARLY STEADY THROUGH TAU 48. HOWEVER, IF TC 04S TO
THE NORTHWEST INTENSIFIES SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THIS PERIOD, STRONG
UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW FROM THAT SYSTEM MAY INDUCE STRONGER VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR ACROSS TC 03S THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST, RESULTING IN
DISSIPATION OF TC 03S. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 180600Z IS
14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 182100Z AND 190900Z. REFER TO TROPICAL
CYCLONE 04S (NONAME) WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY
UPDATES.//

REMARKS:
182100Z POSITION NEAR 13.5S 87.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 03S (LEE-ARIEL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 975 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 05 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND THE
181611Z TRMM 85/37GHZ IMAGES INDICATE A WEAKENING, FULLY-EXPOSED LOW-
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH DEEP CONVECTION SHEARED ABOUT
60 NM SOUTH OF THE CENTER. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND UW-CIMSS
PRODUCTS SHOW INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WITH OUTFLOW FROM TC 04S
IMPINGING ON AND HINDERING OUTFLOW OVER TC 03S. ADDITIONALLY, OCEAN
HEAT CONTENT REMAINS MARGINAL. TC 03S IS FORECAST TO REMAIN WITHIN
AN UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT AND TO SLOWLY TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD AND
DISSIPATE OVER WATER BY 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 181800Z IS 12 FEET. REFER TO TROPICAL
CYCLONE 04S (NONAME) WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY
UPDATES.//
