WTXS21 PGTW 20160128 10:30z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 16.3S 117.6E TO 19.5S 117.5E 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 28 TO 32 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT 280920Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 16.9S 117.3E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 16.0S 117.8E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 16.9S 117.3E, APPROXIMATELY 375 NM NORTH- NORTHEAST OF LEARMONTH AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS RAPIDLY IMPROVING SPIRAL BANDING WITH CENTRAL CONVECTION FORMING OVER A WELL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A 280856Z SSMIS 91 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICTS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING ON THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PERIPHERIES. CURRENT DVORAK ESTIMATES OF T2.0 (30 KNOTS) FROM PGTW AND APRF SUPPORT THE CURRENT INTENSITY ASSESSMENT OF 28 TO 32 KNOTS. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES AN IMPROVING ENVIRONMENT WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE (10 TO 20 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND ROBUST OUTFLOW. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT AT 30 DEGREES CELSIUS. AVAILABLE MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS DEVELOPMENT OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN 24 HOURS. DUE TO THE IMPROVED STRUCTURE AND LOWER VWS THE POTENTIAL FOR 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 291030Z.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20160129 03:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 09S (NINE) WARNING NR 001// REF/A/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/281021Z JAN 16// AMPN/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09S (NINE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 174 NM NORTH- NORTHWEST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH- SOUTHEASTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS DEEPENED CENTRAL CONVECTION WITH TIGHTLY- CURVED BANDING WRAPPING INTO A CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A RECENT 290057Z METOP-B MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS THE BULK OF THE DEEP CONVECTION LOCATED OVER THE WESTERN SEMI-CIRCLE. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED METOP-B IMAGE AND SATELLITE FIXES FROM PGTW AND KNES WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS BASED ON A CORRESPONDING DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES TC 09S IS LOCATED IN A MARGINALLY-FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH MODERATE TO HIGH (20 TO 30 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR BEING PARTIALLY OFFSET BY THE EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW AS EVIDENT ON THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. TC 09S IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST AND WILL REMAIN ON A SOUTHEASTWARD TRAJECTORY THROUGH OUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. UPPER-LEVEL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO SLIGHTLY IMPROVE, ALLOWING 09S TO FURTHER INTENSIFY LEADING TO A PEAK INTENSITY OF 55 KNOTS BY TAU 24. AFTERWARDS, THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BEGIN ITS WEAKENING TREND AND IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE OVER LAND AS IT TRACKS FURTHER INLAND. TC 09S MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 290000Z IS 12 FEET.

ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A BROAD COLD DENSE OVERCAST WITH TIGHT SPIRAL BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE OBSCURRED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A 290144Z HIGH RESOLUTION BYU ASCAT PRODUCT DEPICTS 40 TO 45 KNOT WINDS IN THE NORTHERN QUADRANTS, AND PROVIDES A GOOD ESTIMATE OF THE STORM STRUCTURE. THE CURRENT POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON AGENCY FIXES AND SUPPORTED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED ASCAT DATA WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A ROBUST POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL BEING OFFSET BY STRONG (30 KNOTS) DEEP-LAYER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), HOWEVER, THE VWS IS LIKELY LESS AT THE CURRENT MID-LEVEL STORM DEPTH. TC 09S IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST, AND WILL REMAIN ON A SOUTHEASTWARD TRAJECTORY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. TC STAN IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY TO 60 KNOTS PRIOR TO MAKING LANDFALL GIVEN THE GENERALLY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS.

ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A BROAD COLD DENSE OVERCAST WITH TIGHT SPIRAL BANDING WRAPPING INTO AN OBSCURED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 291129Z SSMIS 37 GHZ MICROWAVE PARTIAL IMAGE DEPICTS AN ELONGATED AND AMBIGUOUS LLCC. A COMPARISON WITH THE 91 GHZ CHANNEL SUGGESTS THE VORTEX IS TILTED TO THE NORTHWEST DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). DUE TO INCREASED AGENCY FIX UNCERTAINTY, THE CURRENT POSITON IS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED MICROWAVE PASS WITH POOR CONFIDENCE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 45 KNOTS BASED ON PGTW AND KNES T3.0 DVORAK ESTIMATES. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A ROBUST POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL BEING OFFSET BY STRONG (25 TO 30 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). TC 09S IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST, AND WILL REMAIN ON A SOUTHEASTWARD TRAJECTORY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. SHIPS INTENSITY GUIDANCE INDICATES VWS SHOULD RELAX PRIOR TO LANDFALL, ALLOWING FURTHER INTENSIFICATION TO AROUND 55 TO 60 KNOTS.

THEREFORE, THERE IS INCREASED CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 55 KNOTS BASED ON RECENT DVORAK ESTIMATES OF T3.5 (55 KNOTS) FROM MULTIPLE AGENCIES, RECENT SATCON ESTIMATES OF 53 TO 55 KNOTS, AND OBSERVATIONAL DATA FROM ROWLEY SHOALS SHOWING MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS OF 45 KNOTS GUSTING AS HIGH 59 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS AN IMPROVING ENVIRONMENT WITH DECREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND DUAL CHANNEL OUTFLOW. ADDITIONALLY, SSTS REMAIN FAVORABLE AT 30 TO 32C. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A DEEP SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 09S (STAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 75 NM NORTH- NORTHEAST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A LARGE FLARE OF CENTRAL CONVECTION WITH OVERSHOOTING TOPS AND BY TRACKING THESE FEATURES IN THE SUBSEQUENT ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY (EIR) ALONG WITH THE RADAR IMAGERY FROM PORT HEDLAND LEADS TO GOOD CONFIDENCE IN POSITIONING THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. THE INTENSITY HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT 65 KNOTS AS OVERALL STRUCTURE AND DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM ALL AGENCIES REMAIN AT T4.0. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS A CONSISTENTLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH DECREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND DUAL CHANNEL OUTFLOW. ADDITIONALLY, SSTS REMAIN FAVORABLE AT 30 TO 32C. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRACKING SLOWLY SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A DEEP SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT ON TC STAN CONTINUING TO MOVE SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS, MAKING LANDFALL JUST EAST OF PORT HEDLAND IN THE NEXT SIX TO TWELVE HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN UPON LANDFALL AND WILL QUICKLY DISSIPATE BY TAU 36. TC 09S IS EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE SOUTHEASTWARD OVER LAND AHEAD OF A DEEP MID-LATITUDE TROUGH.

ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A WEAKENING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH WARMING CLOUD-TOPS. RECENT RADAR IMAGERY FROM PORT HEDLAND, AND OBSERVATIONAL DATA AROUND THE AREA INDICATE THE SYSTEM CENTER HAS MADE LANDFALL JUST WEST OF PARDOO, AUSTRALIA AROUND 18Z. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 55 KNOTS, BASED ON OBSERVATIONAL DATA SHOWING 40 TO 50 KNOT WIND GUSTS REPORTED AT BEDOUT ISLAND. THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO TRACK SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A DEEP SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST. TC STAN IS FORECAST TO ACCELERATE SOUTHEASTWARD AND WEAKEN RAPIDLY AS IT BECOMES EMBEDDED WITHIN A DEEP MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE OVER LAND BY TAU 24. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT LEADING TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. 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 301800Z IS 12 FEET.//
