WTXS21 PGTW 20160120 15:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 200 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 13.9S 77.9E TO 19.1S 73.6E 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 201200Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 14.9S 77.0E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 12.7S 77.4E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 14.9S 77.0E, APPROXIMATELY 515 NM SOUTH- SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH DEVELOPING CENTRAL CONVECTION AND IMPROVED BANDING ON THE PERIPHERY. PREVIOUS ASCAT DATA CONFIRM AN IMPROVED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH STRENGTHENING WINDS (25-30 KTS) ON BOTH THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN PERIPHERIES. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS AN ANTICYCLONE POSITIONED OVER THE LLCC PRODUCING STRONG DUAL CHANNEL OUTFLOW WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (5-10 KTS). SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE NEAR 29 C SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT AND DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT INDICATING DEVELOPMENT WITHIN 12 TO 24 HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 997 MB. DUE TO THE IMPROVED CONSOLIDATION OF THE LLCC AND UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW, 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 211500Z.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20160121 15:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 08S (CORENTIN) WARNING NR 001// REF/A/MSG/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/201451ZJAN16// AMPN/REF A IS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 08S (CORENTIN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 532 NM SOUTH OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A CONSOLIDATING YET PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A RECENT 210945Z SSMI 85 GHZ IMAGE REVEALS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE WITH FRAGMENTED SHALLOW BANDING OVER THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. RECENT SCATTEROMETRY DATA SHOWS 35 KNOT WINDS ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH MODERATE TO STRONG (20 TO 30 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) BEING OFFSET BY EXCELLENT DUAL CHANNEL OUTFLOW. TC CORENTIN IS CURRENTLY TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE EAST. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE ON THIS TRAJECTORY UNTIL TAU 48 WHEN THE STR BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND A SECOND STR TO THE SOUTHWEST BEGINS TO BUILD IN. AFTER TAU 72 THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO SLOW AND BECOME NEARLY QUASI-STATIONARY AS THE STR SHIFTS TO THE SOUTH. TC CORENTIN IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY STEADILY THROUGH TAU 72 DUE TO WARM (27C-29C) SSTS, LOW VWS AND GOOD OUTFLOW. THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST IS POSITIONED CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS AND IS SUPPORTED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 211200Z IS 12 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 08S (CORENTIN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 911 NM EAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS DEEP CENTRALIZED CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED AND IS PERSISTING OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS NEAR THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). TC 08S HAS SHIFTED TO A SOUTH-SOUTHWEST TRACK AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY. FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SSTS) RANGING FROM 29 TO 30 DEGREES CELSIUS ARE SUPPORTING THE RECENT PERIOD OF INTENSIFICATION BUT WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO DECREASE AFTER TAU 24 THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW IN THE POLEWARD AND SOUTHEASTWARD CHANNELS HAS BEEN SUPPORTING THE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE VERTICAL COLUMN. IN ADDITION, VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) REMAINS LOW AS THE POINT-SOURCE ANTICYCLONE IN THE UPPER LEVELS, LOCATED OVER THE LLCC, IS ENHANCING OUTFLOW AND CREATING A VERTICALLY STACKED ENVIRONMENT. AS TC 08S TRACKS SOUTHWARD OVER THE NEXT 96 HOURS, THE STR TO THE EAST WILL WEAKEN WITH A SECONDARY STR TO THE SOUTHWEST STARTING TO DEVELOP, LEADING TO A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT FROM TAU 72 THROUGH 120. EVENTUALLY THE SOUTHWESTERN STR WILL BUILD ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF TC 08S, TAKING THE SYSTEM TO THE SOUTHWEST. TC 08S WILL INTENSIFY THROUGH TAU 48 AS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN FAVORABLE, BUT A SLOW WEAKENING TREND WILL DEVELOP AS SSTS DECREASE POLEWARD OF 25 DEGREES SOUTH. IN ADDITION, VWS WILL INCREASE AS MID- LATITUDE WESTERLIES, IN THE UPPER LEVELS, BEGINS TO IMPINGE ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT AFTER TAU 72. THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST IS POSITIONED CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS AND IS SUPPORTED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 220000Z IS 21 FEET.

UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE CYCLONE IS EXPERIENCING HIGH (25-30 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), AND IS TRACKING OVER AN AREA OF 26 C SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE (SST). THE PRIMARY STEERING MECHANISM IS AN EXTENSION OF THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH, DRIVING THE SYSTEM SLOWLY EASTWARD.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 08S (CORENTIN) WARNING NR 009 01 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTHIO MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY --- WARNING POSITION: 251200Z --- NEAR 27.0S 78.3E MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 075 DEGREES AT 04 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 040 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 040 KT, GUSTS 050 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY BECOMING SUBTROPICAL RADIUS OF 034 KT WINDS - 225 NM NORTHEAST QUADRANT 235 NM SOUTHEAST QUADRANT 180 NM SOUTHWEST QUADRANT 180 NM NORTHWEST QUADRANT REPEAT POSIT: 27.0S 78.3E --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 260000Z --- 26.4S 78.5E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 040 KT, GUSTS 050 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY SUBTROPICAL --- REMARKS: 251500Z POSITION NEAR 26.8S 78.3E. TROPICAL CYCLONE 08S (CORENTIN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1239 NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED EAST-NORTHEASTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATE A FULLY EXPOSED, INCREASINGLY DISORGANIZED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) UNDER HIGH (20 TO 25 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). A 251115Z SSMIS 91 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS LIMITED, SHALLOW CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING AROUND THE ELONGATED LLCC. GIVEN THIS DISORGANIZED STRUCTURE, THERE IS MODERATE TO LOW CONFIDENCE TO THE INITIAL POSITION. FIXING AGENCIES ARE NO LONGER REPORTING SUBJECTIVE DVORAK INTENSITY VALUES DUE THE DETERIORATING STRUCTURE OF THE CYCLONE. HOWEVER, A PREVIOUS 250403Z PARTIAL METOP-B ASCAT IMAGE SHOWS 40 TO 45 KNOT WINDS, SUPPORTING THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 40 KNOTS. VARIOUS OBSERVATIONAL DATA INDICATE THAT TC CORENTIN IS BECOMING SUBTROPICAL, INCLUDING THE PRESENCE OF AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE LLCC AND A DECREASING CORE TEMPERATURE ANOMALY. MULTI-MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS THE CYCLONE MOVING SLOWLY NORTH OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS IT COMPLETES SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI. THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 251200Z IS 16 FEET.//
