WTXS22 PGTW 230730 MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// REF/A/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/222230Z JAN 19// AMPN/REF IS TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS21 PGTW 222230)// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 160 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 14.1S 124.0E TO 16.9S 118.5E 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 230700Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 14.7S 123.7E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 94S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 11.4S 126.6E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 14.7S 123.7E, APPROXIMATELY 210 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF BROOME, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 230508Z AMSR2 89GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOW CURVED BANDING WRAPPING INTO A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION. THE DISTURBANCE IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN AN AREA OF STRONG RADIAL OUTFLOW, LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (10-15 KNOTS), AND WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (28-30 CELSIUS). GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE A GENERALLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK WITH STEADY INTENSIFICATION OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. 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 240730Z. 4.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 11S (RILEY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 494 NM NORTHEAST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS (KTS) OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) REVEALS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDS FROM THE NORTH AND SOUTH WRAPPING INTO AN OBSCURED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE USING A COMBINATION OF THE RAIN BANDS IN THE MSI, A DEVELOPING EYE FEATURE IN A 232158Z SSMIS 91 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE, RADAR IMAGERY FROM BROOME, AUSTRALIA, AND SYNOPTIC DATA FROM REPORTING STATIONS IN NORTHWEST AUSTRALIA. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 40 KTS IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE PGTW DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T2.5 (35 KTS) DUE TO A 232037Z CIMSS SATCON ESTIMATE OF 50 KTS. THE ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE (10-20 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), GOOD EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW, EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW, AND WARM (30-31 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE (SST). FOR THE DURATION OF THE FORECAST, TC 11S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK WESTWARD TO WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A PERSISTENT SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THROUGH TAU 48, THE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT WILL REMAIN VERY FAVORABLE AND THE CYCLONE IS FORECASTED TO INTENSIFY TO 70 KTS. AFTER TAU 48, THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BECOME MARGINAL OVERALL DUE TO DIMINISHING OUTFLOW, INCREASING VWS, AND COOLING SST. THIS WILL CAUSE THE RATE OF INTENSIFICATION TO SLOW DOWN. THE JTWC INTENSITY FORECAST FOLLOWS THE INTENSITY CONSENSUS BUT AVAILABLE GUIDANCE HAS TAU 120 INTENSITY VALUES BETWEEN ABOUT 40 AND 115 KTS SO UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE 80 KT INTENSITY AT TAU 120 IS HIGH. DYNAMIC MODEL TRACK GUIDANCE HAS EXCELLENT CROSS-TRACK AGREEMENT BUT ONLY FAIR ALONG-TRACK AGREEMENT. THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST IS PLACED NEAR THE CONSENSUS WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE ALONG-TRACK UNCERTAINTY. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 240000Z IS 15 FEET.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AVNI AND AEMI, WHICH ERRONEOUSLY RECURVE THE SYSTEM SOUTHWARD, THE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A 125NM SPREAD IN SOLUTIONS AT TAU 120, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. TC 11S IS FORECAST TO REINTENSIFY TO A PEAK OF 70 KNOTS BY TAU 12 AS VWS RELAXES, HOWEVER, STEADY WEAKENING IS FORECAST AFTER TAU 48 DUE TO COOLER SST (LESS THAN 25C).
