WTXS21 PGTW 260130 MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 160 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 9.9S 81.5E TO 12.5S 86.8E 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 IMAGERY AT 260000Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 9.8S 82.1E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING EASTWARD AT 07 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 91S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 9.7S 80.5E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 9.8S 82.1E, APPROXIMATELY 585NM EAST- SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY AND A 252250Z 91GHZ SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICT PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION ABOVE A COHESIVE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). 91S IS CURRENTLY UNDER HIGH (25 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR BUT VALUES DROP OFF RAPIDLY TO THE SOUTH, WHERE THE SYSTEM IS HEADING. DIVERGENCE ALOFT IS STRONG AND BEGINNING TO FORM A POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES REMAIN WARM (27-28 CELSIUS) IN THE VICINITY OF THE SYSTEM. GLOBAL DYNAMIC MODELS PREDICT 91S REACHING TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS THE STORM TRAVELS TO THE SOUTHEAST. IF NOT, DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN THE LATER TAUS AFTER 91S ROUNDS THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 270130Z.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 270300 MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 07S (SEVEN) WARNING NR 001// REF/A/MSG/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/260121ZJAN2018// AMPN/REF A IS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT.// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 07S (SEVEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 777 NM EAST- SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED EAST-NORTHEASTWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A CENTRAL MASS OF CONVECTION COVERING UP A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) ASSOCIATED WITH TC 07S. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON A 262147z MHS 89 GHZ SHOWING THE LOW LEVEL BANDING WRAPPING UNDER THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF CONVECTION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 30 KNOTS IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF T2.0 (30 KNOTS) FROM BOTH PGTW AND KNES. IN ADDITION, A PARTIAL 261633Z ASCAT PASS SHOWS 30 KTS IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS UNFAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE CONVECTIVE MASS WITH FAVORABLE TO MARGINAL SHEAR ADJACENT TO THE SOUTHEASTERN EDGE OF CONVECTION AND DIVERGENCE ALOFT. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORABLE, NEAR 29 DEGREES CELSIUS. TC 07S WILL INITIALLY TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD BEFORE RECURVING TO THE SOUTHWEST AT ABOUT TAU 24 DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF A STEERING RIDGE BUILDING IN TO THE NORTHEAST. TC 07S WILL SLOWLY INTENSIFY TO 40 KNOTS BY TAU 24 DUE TO IMPROVED OUTFLOW CHANNELS AND DECREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 07S WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY TO 85 KNOTS BY TAU 120. PAST TAU 96, TC 07S WILL SLOW DOWN AS A SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST; HOWEVER, THERE IS A LARGE SPREAD IN DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE TRACKS LENDING LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 270000Z IS 7 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 270900Z, 271500Z, 272100Z AND 280300Z.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 07S (SEVEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 754 NM EAST- SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED, WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE, ON RECENT SATELLITE FIXES FROM PGTW AND KNES AND ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE POSITION HAS BEEN RELOCATED TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE PREVIOUS WARNING POSITION BASED ON A REASSESSMENT OF RECENT MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY. HOWEVER, THIS RELOCATION HAS NOT RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE TRACK FORECAST. THE INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS CONSISTENT WITH DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM MULTIPLE REPORTING AGENCIES. RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS DEEP CONVECTION CONSOLIDATING OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. TC 07S HAS TURNED POLEWARD OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS AS THE PRIMARY STEERING INFLUENCE TRANSITIONS TO A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. AS THIS PRIMARY STEERING INFLUENCE CONTINUES TO TRANSITION OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, TC 07S WILL TRACK IN AN INCREASINGLY WESTWARD DIRECTION. BY TAU 72, A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST IS EXPECTED TO ERODE THE STEERING RIDGE, RESULTING IN WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND NEARLY STATIONARY MOTION IN THE EXTENDED RANGE. TC 07S IS EXPECTED TO STEADILY INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD UNDER THE FAVORABLE INFLUENCES OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, PASSAGE OVER WARM WATER AND IMPROVING POLEWARD OUTFLOW ALOFT. NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT REGARDING THE GENERAL TRACK SCENARIO, ALTHOUGH NAVGEM AND THE UKMET MODEL DEPICT TC 07S BASICALLY CONTINUING POLEWARD, WITH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH NEVER BECOMING FULLY ESTABLISHED AS THE PRIMARY STEERING MECHANISM. ALL OTHER CONSENSUS MODELS INDICATE A WESTWARD TURN FOLLOWED BY NEARLY STATIONARY MOTION IN THE EXTENDED RANGE. THE CURRENT FORECAST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS, ALTHOUGH OFFSET SLIGHTLY FROM THE LOWER PROBABILITY NAVGEM AND UKMET SOLUTIONS. GIVEN NOTED MODEL SPREAD, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE NEAR TO MEDIUM-TERM FORECAST AND LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED RANGE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 270600Z IS 15 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 07S (SEVEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 762 NM EAST- SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM MAINTAINED A BALL OF DEEP CONVECTION THAT CONTINUES TO OBSCURE THE LLC. THE INITIAL POSITION IS EXTRAPOLATED FROM A LOW REFLECTIVITY CIRCULATION FEATURE IN THE 270858Z 85 GHZ SSMI MICROWAVE PASS AND FROM THE CURRENT STORM MOTION WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON CONGRUENT DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES OF T2.5. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS IN AN AREA OF MODERATE TO STRONG (20-25 KNOT) NORTHERLY VWS THAT IS OFFSET BY STRONG DUAL OUTFLOW AND A STORM MOTION THAT IS IN PHASE WITH THE VWS VECTOR. TC 07S IS CURRENTLY BEING STEERED BY AN EXTENSION OF THE STR TO THE SOUTHEAST. IT IS EXPECTED TO TRACK MORE SOUTHEASTWARD AS THIS STR EXTENSION BUILDS. AT THE EXTENDED TAUS, TC 07S IS FORECAST TO SLOW DOWN AND BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY AS A STR TO THE SOUTHWEST COMPETES FOR STEERING. THE VWS IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS THE CYCLONE TRACKS POLEWARD, PROMOTING STEADY INTENSIFICATION TO 95 KNOTS BY TAU 120. THE AVAILABLE NUMERIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK, HOWEVER, IT SIGNIFICANTLY SPREADS TOWARD THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST LENDING AN OVERALL LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 07S (CEBILE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 758 NM EAST- SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES DEEP CONVECTION SYMMETRICALLY WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) OF TC 07S, WITH OVERSHOOTING TOPS NEAR THE LLCC. THE INITIAL POSITION AND STORM MOTION IS DETERMINED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS RAISED TO 45 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF T3.0 FROM PGTW AND KNES, AS WELL AS A 271611Z METOP-A ASCAT PASS SHOWING WINDS OF 45 KNOTS IN THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE. TC 07S IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER WARM WATERS WITH SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES OF 28-29 DEGREES C, WITH MODERATE EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (15 TO 20 KNOTS) THAT IS DECREASING ALONG THE PATH OF THE SYSTEM. UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW IS RESTRICTED TO THE EAST, BUT IS GOOD IN ALL OTHER QUADRANTS. AS THE VWS DECREASES, TC 07S IS FORECAST TO STEADILY INTENSIFY TO 95 KNOTS WHILE BEING STEERED BY A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) AXIS TO ITS SOUTH. IN THE EXTENDED TAUS, THE STEERING FLOW WILL BECOME MORE COMPLICATED AS A DEEP-LAYER TROUGH WEAKENS THE STR, BUT GLOBAL MODELS DIFFER IN THE EXTENT TO WHICH THIS TURNS TC 07S TOWARD THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. FOR NOW, THE OFFICIAL FORECAST CALLS FOR A SLOWING OF THE FORWARD MOTION WITH A SLIGHT DRIFT TOWARD THE SOUTH AT TAU 120. MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK THROUGH TAU 72, WITH GREATER SPREAD AND LOWER CONFIDENCE THEREAFTER. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 271800Z IS 18 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 07S (CEBILE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 741 NM SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO RAPIDLY CONSOLIDATE AND HAS DEVELOPED A 15-NM RAGGED EYE. HOWEVER, THE CYCLONE IS STILL UNDER MODERATE (15-20 KNOT) NORTHERLY VWS CAUSING THE EYE TO BE TILTED FROM THE LLCC. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON A MICROWAVE EYE IN THE 181101Z SSMIS PARTIAL MICROWAVE PASS WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON A DVORAK ESTIMATE OF T5.0 FROM PGTW AND KNES. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE MODERATE VWS IS OFFSET BY A ROBUST RADIAL OUTFLOW. TC 07S IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON A SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK, STEERED BY THE STR TO THE SOUTHEAST, AND WILL CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY AS VWS DECREASES AND GOOD OUTFLOW PERSISTS. AFTER TAU 48, THE CYCLONE WILL SLOW DOWN, POSSIBLY BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY AS A SECONDARY STR TO THE SOUTHWEST COMPETES FOR STEERING. THE STR TO THE EAST WILL EVENTUALLY DOMINATE AND SLOWLY DRIVE THE CYCLONE SOUTHWARD. TC CEBILE WILL PEAK AT 125 KNOTS BETWEEN TAU 36-48 BEFORE VWS BEGINS TO RE-INTENSIFY.

ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) IMAGERY INDICATES THE PERIOD OF RAPID INTENSIFICATION HAS STALLED OR ENDED, AS THE EYE FILLED. THE FIRST FEW FRAMES OF MULTI-SPECTRAL IMAGERY SUGGESTS THE EYE MAY BE TRYING TO REFORM. A 290040Z GPM 89 GHZ PASS STILL SHOWS A PIN-HOLE MICROWAVE EYE WITH GOOD SPIRAL BANDING OF DEEP CONVECTION.

MULTI-AGENCY DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITIES REMAIN T6.0, HOWEVER, THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 110 KNOTS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE DEGRADATION OF CORE CONVECTION. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) REMAINS LIGHT (10-15 KNOTS); HOWEVER, OUTFLOW HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY SUPPRESSED AND OCEAN HEAT CONTENT VALUES ARE WANING. INTENSITY GUIDANCE NOW SUGGESTS CEBILE HAS REACHED ITS PEAK INTENSITY AND SHOULD REMAIN NEAR 110-115 KNOTS BEFORE A SLOW WEAKENING TREND BEGINS AS OCEANIC SUPPORT BEGINS TO DROP. TC 07S IS BEING STEERED BY A DEEP-LAYER SUB- TROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTHEAST. CEBILE IS FORECAST TO TAKE ON A MORE WEST TO WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY TRAJECTORY AFTER TAU 24 AS THE STR BUILDS TO THE SOUTH, HOWEVER, A COMPETING STR TO THE WEST WILL RESULT IN SLOWING FORWARD MOTION. AT THE END OF THE FORECAST, A WEAKNESS DEVELOPS IN THE SOUTHERN STR, ALLOWING A POLEWARD TURN. DYNAMICAL MODELS HAVE A BI-FURCATION IN TRACK SOLUTIONS, WITH THE UKMET MODELS INDICATING SHARP RECURVATURE BY TAU 48. HOWEVER, THE FORECAST IS PLACED WITH THE WESTERN SOLUTION SET BECAUSE DATA DOES NOT SUPPORT A STRONG RE-CURVE SCENARIO AT THIS TIME. THE FORECAST TRACK WAS ADJUSTED FURTHER WEST OF THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS TO ADJUST FOR THE EASTERN OUTLIERS. DUE TO THE SHARP BI-FURCATION IN DYNAMICAL MODELS AND HIGH ENSEMBLE SPREAD, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 290000Z IS 29 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 07S (CEBILE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 726 NM SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS MAINTAINED A 5-NM PINHOLE EYE AND A COMPACT, ALBEIT, VERY DEEP CENTRAL CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON A MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE IN THE 291048Z 91 GHZ SSMIS MICROWAVE PASS WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES OF T6.0 AND T5.5, RESPECTIVELY, AND REFLECTS THE SUSTAINED CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE OF THE SYSTEM. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS IN MODERATE (15-KNOT) VWS THAT IS OFFSET BY GOOD RADIAL OUTFLOW AND WARM (29C) ALONG-TRACK SSTS. THIS DYNAMIC BALANCE IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS, MAINTAINING THE PEAK INTENSITY OF 110 KNOTS. AFTERWARD, A COMPETING STEERING STR TO THE SOUTHWEST WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH BECOMES THE DOMINANT STEERING MECHANISM AND DRIVES TC 07S TO RECURVE SOUTHEASTWARD. DURING THIS STAGE, VWS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE CAUSING GRADUAL WEAKENING.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 07S (CEBILE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 710 NM SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) IMAGERY DEPICTS A WELL ORGANIZED SYSTEM WITH TIGHT SPIRAL BANDING WRAPPING INTO A VERY SMALL, SYMMETRIC CONVECTIVE CORE WITH A 6 NM INNER EYE FEATURE. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON MULTI-AGENCY FIXES OF THE EIR EYE. 291346Z GPM MICROWAVE IMAGES AT 36 AND 39 GHZ INDICATED THE ONSET OF AN EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE (ERC), WITH THE COMPACT 6 NM INNER EYE SURROUNDED BY A 65 NM OUTER EYEWALL. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS LOWERED TO 100 KNOTS IN LIGHT OF THE ONGOING ERC AS WELL AS MULTI-AGENCY DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T5.0 (90 KNOTS) TO T5.5 (102 KNOTS), AN ADVANCED DVORAK TECHNIQUE (ADT) ESTIMATE OF T5.3 (97 KNOTS AND A SATELLITE CONSENSUS (SATCON) ESTIMATE OF 108 KNOTS. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES TC CEBILE LIES IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, WITH LIGHT (5-10 KNOTS) VWS AND HAS MAINTAINED ROBUST RADIAL OUTFLOW DUE THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF AN UPPER LEVEL POINT SOURCE. THE TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER LOOP INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM LIES IN A DEEP MOISTURE FIELD, WHILE TRANSITING IN AN AREA OF A HIGH SSTS OF 28-29 DEG CELSIUS). TC 07S IS CURRENTLY EMBEDDED IN A COL AREA BETWEEN A DEEP-LAYER SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTHWEST AND A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE NORTH, WITH AN EXTENSION OF THIS RIDGE TO THE EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THIS ENTIRE PATTERN IS DRIFTING SLOWLY WESTWARD, RESULTING IN THE SLOW WESTWARD TRACK OF THE SYSTEM. TC CEBILE IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING SLOWLY WESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED STR AND NER THROUGH THE NEXT 72 HOURS. BEYOND TAU 72, A WEAKNESS DEVELOPS IN THE STR TO THE SOUTH, ALLOWING A FAIRLY SHARP POLEWARD TURN. DYNAMICAL MODELS GENERALLY AGREE ON THE OVERALL TRACK, BUT SHOW SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING OF THE TURN. THE EGRR AND AFUM MODELS INDICATE A TURN WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS, WHILE THE NVGM AND COTC MODELS SHOW A TURN BEYOND 72 HOURS WELL TO THE WEST. THE FORECAST IS PLACED NEAR THE GROUPING OF THE U.S. MODELS AND WELL WEST OF THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS, AS AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT SUPPORT A NEAR- TERM RECURVE SCENARIO AT THIS TIME. AS NOTED ABOVE, TC CEBILE IS UNDERGOING AN ERC, LEADING TO SOME NEAR-TERM WEAKENING. HOWEVER, ONCE THE ERC IS COMPLETE WITHIN THE NEXT 12-24 HOURS, TC CEBILE WILL BEGIN TO REINTENSIFY AS THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINS HIGHLY FAVORABLE AND THERE IS LITTLE TO WARRANT A DROP IN INTENSITY OTHER THAN NORMAL FLUCTUATIONS AND FUTURE POTENTIAL ERC'S. BEYOND TAU 72, COOLING SSTS AND INCREASING VWS WILL RESULT IN A GENERAL WEAKENING TREND. DUE TO THE HIGH UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING OF THE TURN TO THE SOUTH, AND LARGE SPREAD IN THE AVAILABLE ENSEMBLE DATA, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST.

ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A 60NM EYE FEATURE WITH SYMMETRICAL RADIAL BANDING CONVERGING INTO THE STRONG CONVECTIVE CORE. THERE IS FAIR CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION BASED ON THE ABNORMALLY LARGE EYE FEATURE LEFT BEHIND AFTER COMPLETION OF A RECENT EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 100 KNOTS WHICH IS BASED ON CURRENT INTENSITY DVORAK ESTIMATES OF T5.5 (102 KNOTS) FROM ALL AGENCIES. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE VERY FAVORABLE TO SUSTAIN THE CURRENT INTENSITY AT OR AROUND 100 TO 105 KNOTS OVER THE NEXT 72 HOURS. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS VERY LOW WITH A POINT SOURCE ANALYZED ALOFT OVER THE SYSTEM. SSTS IN THE REGION ARE WARM NEAR 28 CELSIUS WITH MODERATE OCEAN HEAT CONTENT. TC 07S IS DRIFTING SLOWLY WESTWARD UNDER A COMPETING STEERING ENVIRONMENT WITH MID-LEVEL RIDGES TO BOTH THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST. THE RIDGE PATTERN IS CURRENTLY SHIFTING WESTWARD AND THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TAU 72 WITH A RESULTANT WESTWARD TRACK FOR TC 07S BEING CAUGHT BETWEEN THE TWO RIDGES. BEYOND TAU 72 A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SUFFICIENTLY ERODE THE SOUTHWESTERN RIDGE WITH THE DOMINANT NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE ASSUMING STEERING AND SHIFTING THE TRACK TO THE SOUTHEAST. THERE IS HIGH UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK FORECAST DUE TO THE COMPETING STEERING ENVIRONMENT, HOWEVER, DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THE PHILOSOPHY. JGSM, EGRR, AND AFUM SHOW THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE BECOMING STRONGER EARLIER WITH A RESULTANT TRACK TO THE SOUTHEAST HAPPENING SOONER. THE REMAINING MODELS IN THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS SHOW A PATTERN CONSISTENT WITH THE FORECAST TRACK. DUE TO THE INHERENT UNCERTAINTY THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST TRACK.

ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A HIGHLY SYMMETRIC SYSTEM WITH A 60NM EYE FEATURE AND RADIAL BANDING CONVERGING INTO A STRONG CONVECTIVE CORE. A 301035Z 91GHZ SSMIS IMAGE SHOWS AN IMPRESSIVE RING OF DEEP CONVECTION SURROUNDING THE EYE FEATURE. THERE IS FAIR CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION BASED ON THE ABNORMALLY LARGE EYE FEATURE LEFT BEHIND AFTER COMPLETION OF A RECENT EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE. MULTI-AGENCY DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE STEADILY INCREASING TO T5.5/5.5 (102 KNOTS) FORMING THE BASIS OF THE INITIAL INTENSITY. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE VERY FAVORABLE TO SUSTAIN THE CURRENT INTENSITY AT OR AROUND 100 TO 105 KNOTS OVER THE NEXT 72 HOURS. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS VERY LOW WITH A POINT SOURCE ANALYZED ALOFT OVER THE SYSTEM. SSTS IN THE REGION ARE WARM NEAR 28 CELSIUS WITH MODERATE OCEAN HEAT CONTENT. TC 07S IS DRIFTING SLOWLY WESTWARD UNDER A COMPETING STEERING ENVIRONMENT WITH MID-LEVEL RIDGES TO BOTH THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST. THE RIDGE PATTERN IS CURRENTLY SHIFTING WESTWARD, AND THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TAU 48 WITH A RESULTANT WESTWARD TRACK FOR TC 07S, CAUGHT BETWEEN THE TWO RIDGES. BEYOND TAU 72 A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SUFFICIENTLY ERODE THE SOUTHWESTERN RIDGE WITH THE DOMINANT NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE ASSUMING STEERING AND SHIFTING THE TRACK TO THE SOUTHEAST. TC 07S WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS THE NEW SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK TAKES THE SYSTEM OVER COOLER SSTS. THERE IS HIGH UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK FORECAST DUE TO THE CURRENT COMPETING STEERING ENVIRONMENT, HOWEVER, DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THE PHILOSOPHY. JGSM, EGRR, AND AFUM SHOW A MUCH SLOWER WESTWARD ADVANCE OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS BEFORE MAKING THE TURN SOUTHEAST.

ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A HIGHLY SYMMETRIC SYSTEM WITH A MASSIVE EYE NEARLY 60NM ACROSS AND DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING SPIRALING INTO A STRONG CONVECTIVE CORE. IT HAD BEEN EXPECTED THAT THE EYE DIAMETER WOULD HAVE DECREASED AFTER COMPLETION OF THE EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE (ERC) YESTERDAY BUT THE EYE HAS REMAINED EXTREMELY WIDE. HOWEVER, THE MOST RECENT SATELLITE IMAGERY IS SHOWING SOME INDICATIONS THAT THE EYE IS BEGINNING TO SHRINK AGAIN. A 301647Z 89GHZ AMSU-B MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS THAT THE RING OF DEEP CONVECTION CONTINUES TO REMAIN IN PLACE, COMPLETELY SURROUNDING THE LLCC AND SUPPORTS THE HIGH CONFIDENCE INITIAL POSITION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 110 KNOTS IS BASED ON MULTI-AGENCY DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T6.0 (115 KNOTS) FROM BOTH PGTW AND KNES, HEDGED SLIGHTLY DOWNWARD IN LIGHT OF AN AUTOMATED DVORAK TECHNIQUE ESTIMATE OF T5.6 (102 KNOTS). ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS REMAIN HIGHLY FAVORABLE FOR SUSTAINMENT AND ADDITIONAL INTENSIFICATION IN THE NEAR-TERM, WITH LOW (5-10 KNOTS) VWS, HIGH SSTS AND MODERATELY HIGH OHC VALUES ALONG THE FORECAST TRACK. UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW IS ROBUST BOTH EQUATORWARD AND POLEWARD DUE TO A POINT SOURCE JUST TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM. TC 07S LIES IN A COL AREA TRAPPED BETWEEN A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE NORTH AND A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTHWEST. THE ENTIRE RIDGE SYSTEM IS MOVING SLOWLY WESTWARD RESULTING IN A WESTWARD TRACK FOR TC 07S THROUGH THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS. BEYOND TAU 48, AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH WILL ERODE THE STR TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM, ALLOWING TC 07S TO SLOWLY TURN POLEWARD. BEYOND TAU 72, THE NER REORIENTS TO A NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ORIENTATION AND BECOMES THE DOMINANT STEERING FACTOR, LEADING TC 07S TO TURN TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST AND ACCELERATE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. AS TC 07S TRANSITS THROUGH THE HIGHLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, ADDITIONAL INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST IN THE NEAR-TERM, PEAKING AT 120 KNOTS BY TAU 24. BEYOND TAU 24 THE SYSTEM WILL MAINTAIN INTENSITY NEAR 115 KNOTS WITH SMALL FLUCTUATIONS DUE TO POTENTIALLY ANOTHER ERC. AFTER THE SYSTEM TURNS POLEWARD BEYOND TAU 72, IT WILL UNDERGO MORE RAPID WEAKENING AS IT CROSSES COOLER WATERS, VWS INCREASES AND OUTFLOW SHIFTS TO A SINGLE CHANNEL. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL TRACK PHILOSOPHY, BUT THERE REMAINS RELATIVELY HIGH UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE EXACT TIMING OF THE TURN. JGSM, EGRR, AND AFUM SHOW A MUCH SLOWER WESTWARD ADVANCE OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS BEFORE MAKING THE TURN SOUTHEAST AND ARE THE EASTERNMOST OUTLIERS. THE REMAINING MODELS SHOW A QUICKER FORWARD SPEED THROUGH TAU 48, LEADING TO A TURN FURTHER TO THE WEST.

TC 07S HAS WEAKENED VERY SLIGHTLY WHILE TRACKING SLOWLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A SHIFTING AND WEAKENING SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS, AN EXTENSION OF A BUILDING NEAR- EQUATORIAL RIDGE SITUATED TO THE NORTHEAST WILL EXERT AN INCREASING INFLUENCE ON STORM MOTION. TC 07S IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY TURN POLEWARD AS THE PRIMARY STEERING INFLUENCE SWITCHES FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH AND WEST TO THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE EXTENSION TO THE NORTHEAST. AFTER TAU 48, TC 07S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK STEADILY POLEWARD ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE NEW STEERING RIDGE. LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, STRONG UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW AND PASSAGE OVER VERY WARM WATER SHOULD OFFSET THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF POTENTIAL OCEAN SURFACE COOLING DUE TO UPWELLING BY THE SLOW MOVING SYSTEM, ENABLING TC 07S TO APPROXIMATELY MAINTAIN INTENSITY OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 3 DAYS. STEADY WEAKENING IS ANTICIPATED BY TAU 72 AS TC 07S PASSES OVER COOLER WATER AND ENCOUNTERS INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION WHILE BEGIN BY TAU 120 AS TC 07S INTERACTS WITH A DEVELOPING UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. CONSENSUS MODEL TRACK FORECAST GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE OVERALL FORECAST PHILOSOPHY. THERE IS RELATIVELY SMALL SPREAD AMONG FORECAST MODELS THROUGH TAU 72, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE FIRST PORTION OF THE TRACK FORECAST. HOWEVER, SPREAD INCREASES IN THE EXTENDED RANGE AS THE MODELS DEPICT VARYING IMPACTS OF THE MIDLATITUDE FLOW ON THE STEERING PATTERN, LENDING LOW CONFIDENCE TO THAT PORTION OF THE FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 311800Z IS 32 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 07S (CEBILE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 570 NM SOUTH- SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE SYSTEM HAS BECOME SOMEWHAT LESS ORGANIZED OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS, WITH THE EYE BECOMING MUCH MORE RAGGED. THE CURRENT POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON A 1703 ASCAT BULLSEYE PASS AND SUPPORTED BY THE ACCOMPANYING AMSU-B 89GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 110 KNOTS CONSISTENT WITH SUBJECTIVE DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM MULTIPLE REPORTING AGENCIES OF T5.5 (102 KNOTS) AS WELL AS RECENT AUTOMATED SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T5.8 (112 KNOTS). TC 07S HAS WEAKENED SLIGHTLY OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS WHILE TRACKING SLOWLY SOUTHWESTWARD IN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN A GENERALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW VWS (5-10 KNOTS), ROBUST UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW PROVIDED BY A POINT SOURCE AT 200MB AND HIGH SST VALUES. OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS THE SYSTEM WILL TURN POLEWARD AS AN EXTENSION OF THE STR TO THE SOUTHWEST RECEDES TO THE WEST AND AN EXTENSION OF THE NEAR- EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE NORTHEAST BUILDS SOUTHEASTWARD. THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO FACTORS WILL EXERT AN INCREASING INFLUENCE ON STORM MOTION AND DRIVE TC 07S TO A SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK AFTER TAU 24 AS THE PRIMARY STEERING INFLUENCE SWITCHES TO THE NER. AFTER TAU 72 THE NER BUILDS IN ALONG THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH OF TC 07S, LEADING TO A DECREASE IN STORM MOTION AND A SLIGHT TURN BACK TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST. TC 07S IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY AS THE STRONG OUTFLOW AND LOW VWS OFFSET THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF OCEAN SURFACE COOLING DUE TO UPWELLING. BEYOND TAU 12 HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN A STEADY WEAKENING TREND AS THE SYSTEM EXPERIENCES INCREASING VWS AND EROSION OF OUTFLOW AS THE UPPER-LEVEL POINT SOURCE DISSIPATES AND IS REPLACED BY GENERALLY WESTERLY WINDS ALOFT. PREVIOUS FORECASTS PREDICTED EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION TO OCCUR BY AROUND TAU 120, HOWEVER NEW DATA INDICATES THAT THIS IS UNLIKELY. NEAR TAU 120, THE SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING ALONG THE EQUATORWARD EDGE OF A DEEP LAYER STR, EFFECTIVELY CUTTING IT OFF FROM THE MID- LATITUDE TROUGHS AND THE ASSOCIATED TEMPERATURE ADVECTION, ALLOWING TC 07S TO MAINTAIN ITS WARM-CORE BAROTROPIC CHARACTERISTICS. THE SYSTEM WILL BE TRANSITING OVER COOLER WATERS AT THIS POINT, WHICH WILL LEAD TO A SLOW DISSIPATION OVER WATER VICE EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT). NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH TAU 48, WITH INCREASING SPREAD THEREAFTER. ECMWF, THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE AND CTCX ARE THE WESTERNMOST OUTLIERS, SHOWING A STRONGER INFLUENCE OF THE NER EXTENSION ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE SYSTEM, WHILE THE REMAINDER OF THE CONSENSUS MEMBERS ARE FURTHER EAST, THOUGH THEY TOO AGREE ON THE GENERAL PATTERN OF SOUTHERLY TRACK BY TAU 120. THE JTWC TRACK IS PLACED TO THE WEST OF THE CONSENSUS MEAN AND NEAR THE ECMWF SOLUTION. WITH THE RELATIVELY SMALL SPREAD AMONG FORECAST MODELS THROUGH TAU 72, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE FIRST PORTION OF THE TRACK FORECAST. HOWEVER, WITH THE INCREASED SPREAD IN THE EXTENDED RANGE FORECASTER, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THAT PORTION OF THE FORECAST TRACK.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW VWS (5-15 KNOTS), MODERATE UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW, HIGH SST VALUES (28-29 DEG C), AND MODERATE OHC. TC 07S WILL BEGIN TRACKING TO THE SOUTHEAST ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARY OF THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS SOUTHEASTWARD MOVEMENT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TAU 72 BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO A MORE SOUTHWARD TRACK AS THE NER BUILDS IN ALONG THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. INTENSITY IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE WANING, WITH TC 07S ENTERING A LESS FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH MODERATE VWS AND LOWER SSTS AFTER TAU 48. TC 07S WILL MAINTAIN ITS WARM-CORE BAROTROPIC CHARACTERISTICS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD, AND WILL BEGIN TO DISSIPATE OVER WATER BY TAU 120.

THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE ANIMATED INFRARED LOOP AND IS SUPPORTED BY BOTH A 061656Z METOP-B 89GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE AND A 061658Z METOP-B ASCAT IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 50 KNOTS IS BASED OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ASCAT IMAGE AND IS ABOVE MULTI- AGENCY DVORAK AND SUB-TROPICAL CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T2.5 (35 KNOTS). THE INTENSITY IS SET 10 KNOTS HIGHER THAN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST DUE TO THE SYSTEMS ASYMMETRICAL AND WEAK CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE CAUSING UNDER ESTIMATES USING SUBJECTIVE INTENSITY ESTIMATES. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS REVEALS THE SYSTEM IS IN AN UNFAVORABLE AREA OF STRONG (>30 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND IS TRACKING THROUGH COOL (25-26 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SST). UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS THE SYSTEM STILL RETAINS A STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL ALLOWING IT TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY IN THE UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. TC 07S IS TRACKING TO THE SOUTHEAST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN EXTENSION OF A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) LOCATED TO THE EAST.
