WTXS21 PGTW 051400 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 11.1S 94.0E TO 13.5S 86.5E 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 051200Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 11.3S 93.9E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTHWARD AT 01 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 95S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 8.8S 94.8E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 11.3S 93.9E, APPROXIMATELY 180 NM WEST-NORTHWEST OF COCOS ISLAND. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) PARTIALLY COVERED BY FLARING CONVECTION. A 050938Z MHS 89 GHZ IMAGE AND 050918Z SSMIS 91GHZ IMAGE REVEAL DEEP CONVECTION ONLY IN THE WESTERN SEMICIRCLE OF THE DISTURBANCE, AND FORMATIVE LOW LEVEL BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC. 95S IS LOCATED IN AN AREA OF HIGH (30-40 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, WHICH WOULD IMPINGE UPON DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS DEPICTS AN OTHERWISE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, WITH MODERATE POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW SUPPORTING DEEP CONVECTION AND WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (28-30 DEGREES CELSIUS). GLOBAL MODELS HAVE CONVERGED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS, PREDICTING DEVELOPMENT WITHIN 24 HOURS. WHILE 95S HAS REMAINED QUASISTATIONARY FOR THE PAST 6 HOURS, IT IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD IN THE INDIAN OCEAN. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 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 061400Z. ========================================================================= WTXS32 PGTW 060300 MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// REF/A/MSG/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/051351ZJAN2018// AMPN/REF A IS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT.// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 04S (IRVING), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1173 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A CONSOLIDATING SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 052340Z CORIOLIS 37GHZ IMAGE SHOWS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING, PRIMARILY LOCATED OVER THE WESTERN SEMI-CIRCLE, AND SHALLOW BANDING OVER THE EASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE WRAPPING INTO A WELL-DEFINED CENTER. THEREFORE, THERE IS GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION AND RECENT TRACK MOTION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 35 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T2.5 FROM PGTW AND APRF. TC 04S IS TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR). AFTER TAU 12, THE SYSTEM SHOULD GRADUALLY TURN SOUTHWESTWARD AS IT ROUNDS THE STR. TC 04S SHOULD STEADILY INTENSIFY UNDER FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS TO A PEAK OF 70 KNOTS BY TAU 72. AFTER TAU 72, TC 04S WILL RE-CURVE AND ACCELERATE AS IT BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES, BEGINNING EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION NEAR TAU 120.

THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON A 071033Z SSMIS 37 GHZ MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGE WHICH REVEALS THE EYE FEATURE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 75 KNOTS BASED ON A DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T4.5 (77 KNOTS) FROM PGTW. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS SHOWS MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (15 TO 20 KNOTS) AND DEVELOPING OUTFLOW CHANNELS. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES REMAIN FAVORABLE (27 TO 28 DEGREES CELSIUS). TC 04S IS TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR), AND IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH TAU 72. TC 04S SHOULD CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY UNDER FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS TO A PEAK OF 90 KNOTS BY TAU 36 BEFORE BEGINNING TO WEAKEN. AFTER TAU 72, TC 04S WILL RE-CURVE AND ACCELERATE AS IT BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES, BEGINNING EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) NEAR TAU 72. TC IRVING IS FORECAST TO COMPLETE ETT BY TAU 96 AS IT BECOMES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES AND GAINS FRONTAL CHARACTERISTICS.

ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS PERSISTENT FLARING CENTRAL CONVECTION BEING SHEARED SLIGHTLY TO THE SOUTH WITH A STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION WHICH IS BASED ON RECENT SATELLITE FIXES AND AN 091020Z 37GHZ SSMI IMAGE THAT WHEN COMPARED TO THE RESPECTIVE 89GHZ CHANNEL REFLECTS A SLIGHT SOUTHWARD DISPLACEMENT OF THE UPPER-LEVEL FEATURES. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 70 KNOTS WHICH IS BASED ON MULTI-AGENCY CURRENT INTENSITY DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM T4.0 TO T4.5 (65 TO 77 KNOTS). UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS AN ANTICYCLONE POSITIONED TO THE EAST TO BE THE CAUSE OF OBSERVED WIND SHEAR WITH NORTHEASTERLY WINDS CREATING SOME CONVERGENCE ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY. POLEWARD OUTFLOW REMAINS ROBUST FEEDING INTO A SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO THE SOUTHWEST. TC 04S IS TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARY OF A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST. THE CURRENT STEERING RIDGE WILL KEEP TS 04S ON ITS CURRENT TRACK AND SHORTLY AFTER TAU 24 SHIFT TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST AROUND THE RIDGE AXIS. SSTS IN THE REGION ARE CURRENTLY AROUND 26 CELSIUS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DECLINE RAPIDLY AS TC 04S TRACKS POLEWARD. THE COOLER WATERS COMBINED WITH INCREASING WIND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM FOR THE DURATION OF THE FORECAST. SHORTLY AFTER TAU 36 ANOTHER TROUGH WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND BEGIN INTERACTING WITH TC 04S BRINGING INCREASED WIND SHEAR AND TEMPERATURE ADVECTION. TC 04S WILL ACCELERATE TO THE SOUTHEAST AND RAPIDLY TRANSITION INTO AN EXTRATROPICAL SYSTEM BY TAU 48.

THE SYSTEM HAS BEGUN A WEAKENING TREND DUE TO A MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. AFTER TAU 24, THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH AN APPROACHING TOUGH WHICH WILL INTRODUCE HIGHER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WHICH, COMBINED WITH COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THE WEAKENING TREND.
