SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
A 200 NM RADIUS OF 12.3S 175.5E 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 151800Z INDICATES THAT A
CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 12.3S 175.7E. THE SYSTEM IS
MOVING SOUTHWARD AT 07 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 11.6S
175.6E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 12.3S 175.7E, APPROXIMATELY 341 NM NORTH-
NORTHWEST OF NADI. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS DEEPENING SYMMETRIC CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A WELL DEFINED
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER AS SEEN IN A 141021Z ASCAT BULLSEYE. A
141617Z MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS WELL DEFINED SPIRAL BANDING WITH THE
BULK OF CONVECTION ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY. UPPER-LEVEL
ANALYSIS INDICATES THE DISTURBANCE IS LOCATED IN A MARGINAL
ENVIRONMENT WITH 20 TO 25 KNOT VERTICAL WIND SHEAR BEING OFFSET BY
AN ENHANCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. GLOBAL MODELS SHOW WEAK
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT REMAINS QUASI-STATIONARY. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. DUE TO PERSISTENT
CONVECTION AND IMPROVED ORGANIZATION, 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
151930Z.

REMARKS:
152100Z POSITION NEAR 12.2S 177.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 02P (TWO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 362 NM NORTH OF
SUVA, FIJI, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD AT 02 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS
A PERSISTENT BALL OF DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A CONSOLIDATED
LLCC THAT HAS REMAINED RELATIVELY QUASI-STATIONARY (QS) OVER THE
PAST 12 HOURS. A 151604Z 91 GHZ SSMIS IMAGE FURTHER REVEALS THE
TIGHTLY WRAPPED, COMPACT NATURE OF THE SYSTEM WITH THE BULK OF DEEP
CONVECTION LOCATED IN THE WESTERN QUADRANTS. A 151309 RSCAT PASS
INDICATES 30-35 KNOT WINDS SURROUNDING THE SYSTEM CENTER WHILE
DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES REMAIN AT 2.0.
THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED IMAGERY WITH
GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE RSCAT IMAGE
AS WELL AS THE SATELLITE FIXES FROM PGTW AND KNES AND HEDGED ON THE
HIGHER END. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES AN ENVIRONMENT
CHARACTERIZED BY MODERATE (15-20 KTS) VWS OFFSET BY STRONG POLEWARD
OUTFLOW. TC 02P IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY MIGRATE TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER
NEXT 48 HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REACH A PEAK INTENSITY OF
45 KNOTS AS VWS IS FORECAST TO RELAX IN THE NEAR TERM. AFTER THAT TC
02P WILL THEN DISSIPATE OVER WATER AS IT ENCOUNTERS INCREASING VWS
ALONG TRACK. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT;
HOWEVER, DUE TO THE RECENT QS MOTION OF THE SYSTEM THERE IS
CURRENTLY LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 151800Z IS 8 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 160900Z AND
162100Z. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A, JOINT TYPHOON

REMARKS:
160900Z POSITION NEAR 13.4S 176.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 02P (TWO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 309 NM NORTH-
NORTHWEST OF SUVA, FIJI, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 10
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MSI DEPICTS PERSISTENT
CONVECTION ALONG THE SOUTH WESTERN AND EASTERN FLANKS OF A PARTIALLY
EXPOSED LLCC. A 160616Z SSMIS 91 GHZ IMAGES RELAYS THIS CONVECTION
AND IMPROVES OVER ALL POSITION CONFIDENCE. THE INTENSITY REMAINS
ASSESSED AT 35 KNOTS BASED ON THE LACK OF DEVELOPING CONVECTION AND
INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM ALL REPORTING AGENCIES. THE ENVIRONMENT IS
MARGINALLY FAVORABLE WITH 20 KNOTS OF NORTHEASTERLY VWS OFFSET BY
GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A STR EXTENSION AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK TO
THE SOUTHWEST UNDER ITS INFLUENCE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
TRACK. TC 02P HAS A 24 HOUR WINDOW IN WHICH SOME INTENSIFICATION IS
POSSIBLE AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS IN-PHASE WITH VWS. HOWEVER, BEYOND TAU
24, VWS WILL INCREASE CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO DISSIPATE BY TAU 48.
ALTERNATIVELY, THE SYSTEM MAY DECAY BEFORE THAT PERIOD. MODEL
GUIDANCE IS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE TRACK WHICH LEADS
TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 160600Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 162100Z AND

AS WELL AS THE BULK OF THE DEEP CONVECTION ALONG THE SOUTHWEST

BARBS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. DVORAK CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE RANGE FROM 2.0-2.5, RESPECTIVELY. THE
INITIAL POSITIONS OF THE STORM IS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED
IMAGERY WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE
ASCAT PASS AND FIXES AND HEDGED ON THE HIGHER END AT 40 KTS. UPPER
LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES AN ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY LOW TO
MODERATE (10-20 KTS) VWS AND STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW. TC 02P IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON ITS SOUTHWEST TRAJECTORY OVER THE NEXT 36
HOURS. THE CURRENT FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS MAY ALLOW FOR A
SLIGHT INTENSIFICATION OF THE NEXT 12 HOURS, HOWEVER INCREASING VWS
THEREAFTER WILL LEAD TO THE DISSIPATION OF THE SYSTEM WITHIN 36
