WTXS21 PGTW 202130 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 12.3S 60.6E TO 15.9S 60.3E 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 33 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT 201800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 12.6S 60.6E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 93S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 12.6S 61.2E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 12.6S 61.2E, APPROXIMATELY 512 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF MAURITIUS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, ALONG WITH A 201343Z SSMIS F-18 91GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE, SHOWS BUILDING DEEP CONVECTION OVER A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION. A 200548Z PARTIAL METOP-B ASCAT PASS SHOWS A SLIGHTLY ELONGATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION WITH 20 TO 25 KNOT WINDS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH. 93S IS CURRENTLY IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH GOOD POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW CHANNELS, WARM (29 TO 30 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, AND MODERATE (10 TO 20 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT 93S WILL TRACK SOUTHWARD, RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING TO WARNING CRITERIA BETWEEN TAU 24 AND 48, BEFORE TURNING SOUTHEASTWARD. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 28 TO 33 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 998 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 212130Z.// ======================================================================== WTXS31 PGTW 220300 MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (TWENTYTWO) WARNING NR 001// REF/A/MSG/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/212121ZMAR19// AMPN/REF A IS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT.// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (TWENTYTWO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 449 NM NORTHEAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS AN EXPANSIVE AREA OF PERSISTENT CONVECTION THAT HAS BEGUN TO CONSOLIDATE INTO A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE EIR LOOP AND SUPPORTED BY A 220042Z 91GHZ SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING AROUND THE EASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE AND INTO A CENTRAL LOW REFLECTIVITY AREA. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS BASED ON THE DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ANALYSIS OF T2.5 (35 KTS) FROM PGTW. TC 22S IS FORECAST TO TRACK IN AN S-SHAPED CURVE. THE INITIAL SOUTHWARD TRACK DIRECTION WILL PERSIST THROUGH TAU 12, AFTER WHICH TC 22S WILL TRACK BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH TAU 48. BEYOND TAU 48 THE SYSTEM WILL RECURVE AND TRACK TO THE SOUTHEAST FOR THE DURATION OF THE FORECAST. THE PRIMARY STEERING FEATURE IS A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE NORTHEAST. OVERTIME, THE NER WILL TRANSIT TO THE WEST, EVENTUALLY POSITIONING TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM CAUSING THE S-SHAPED TRACK. AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK SHAPE HOWEVER, THERE ARE LARGE VARIATIONS IN THE LOCATION OF THE TRACK, LEADING TO A TAU 120 SPREAD OF AROUND 400NM. DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT SPREAD IN AVAILABLE MODEL GUIDANCE THERE IS OVERALL LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 220000Z IS 13 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (TWENTYTWO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 735 NM SOUTHWEST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE ON THE MSI IMAGERY AND A 220506Z AMSU 89GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS BASED ON THE DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ANALYSIS OF T2.5 (35 KTS) FROM PGTW, AND IS ABOVE THE ESTIMATE OF T2.0 (30 KTS) FROM KNES. TC 22S HAS TRACKED SLOWLY SOUTHWESTWARD, CAUGHT BETWEEN THE COMPETING STEERING INFLUENCES OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST AND MID-LEVEL RIDGING TO THE SOUTHEAST. IN THE NEAR TERM, TC 22S IS FORECAST TO MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHWARD TO SOUTHWESTWARD DUE TO THE MIDLEVEL RIDGING TO THE SOUTH. AFTER TAU 48, THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE WILL BUILD IN TO THE NORTH OF TC 22S, ACCELERATING THE SYSTEM TO THE SOUTHEAST. TC 22S IS FORECAST TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH EXCELLENT ALMOST RADIAL OUTFLOW ALOFT, LOW (5-10 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND CONDUCIVE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (28-30 DEGREES CELSIUS), REACHING A PEAK OF 95 KTS AT TAU 72, WHEN A PASSING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH TO THE SOUTH WILL FURTHER ENHANCE POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THE JTWC FORECAST INTENSITY IS ON THE HIGH END OF AVAILABLE INTENSITY GUIDANCE, AS THERE IS NOTHING DETRIMENTAL IN THE ENVIRONMENT TO HINDER INTENSIFICATION. AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE S-SHAPED TRACK, BUT THERE ARE LARGE VARIATIONS IN ALONG-TRACK SPEED AND THE INFLECTION POINTS WHEN THE TRACK CURVES. GFS AND NAVGEM ARE TO THE EAST OF THE MULTI- MODEL CONSENSUS, AND DEPICT A DUE SOUTHWARD TRACK IN THE NEAR TERM, WHICH SEEMS UNREALISTIC DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF THE MID-LEVEL RIDGING TO THE SOUTH ON THIS STILL-WEAK SYSTEM. THE ECMWF SOLUTION IS FASTER THAN CONSENSUS IN THE SHORT TERM, AND SLOWER IN ALONG- TRACK SPEED IN LATER TAUS. DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT SPREAD IN AVAILABLE MODEL GUIDANCE, THERE IS OVERALL LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 220600Z IS 16 FEET.

ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WHICH IS NOW OBSCURED BY A GROWING CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO). THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE ON THE MSI IMAGERY. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 40 KNOTS IS BASED ON THE BURGEONING CDO FEATURE, AND IS ABOVE THE KNES AND PGTW DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T2.5 (35 KTS). TC 22S HAS TRACKED SLOWLY SOUTHWESTWARD, CAUGHT BETWEEN THE COMPETING STEERING INFLUENCES OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST AND MID-LEVEL RIDGING TO THE SOUTHEAST. IN THE NEAR TERM, TC 22S IS FORECAST TO MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHWESTWARD DUE TO THE MIDLEVEL RIDGING TO THE SOUTH. AFTER TAU 36, THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE WILL BUILD IN TO THE NORTH OF TC 22S, ACCELERATING THE SYSTEM TO THE SOUTHEAST.

ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS CYCLING CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE ON THE LLCC IN MSI IMAGERY WHICH IS OCCASIONALLY OBSCURED BY CONVECTION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 60 KNOTS IS BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T4.0 (65 KTS) FROM FMEE, FIMP, PGTW. A 230943Z SATCON ESTIMATE IS 65 KTS, WHILE A 231215Z AUTOMATED DVORAK TECHNIQUE ESTIMATE IS T3.6 (57 KTS), MORE IN LINE WITH THE PGTW ESTIMATE.

AFTER TAU 72, THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO TRACK SLOWLY SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AS THE STR BUILDS IN FROM THE EAST. DUE TO THIS COMPLEX STEERING ENVIRONMENT, THE DYNAMIC MODELS ARE IN POOR AGREEMENT WITH GFS, GFS ENSEMBLE AND NAVGEM INDICATING FASTER TRACK SPEEDS INTO THE STR, WHICH APPEARS UNLIKELY. THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK IS PLACED SLOWER THAN AND WEST OF THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS WITH LOW CONFIDENCE. TC 22S IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY TO A PEAK OF 110 KNOTS BY TAU 12 IN THE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER, SLOW MOTION IN A LOW OCEAN HEAT CONTENT ENVIRONMENT WILL LIMIT FURTHER INTENSIFICATION POTENTIAL. AFTER TAU 72, SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING IS EXPECTED AS THE SYSTEM ENCOUNTERS INCREASING VWS AND CONVERGENCE ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBTROPICAL WESTERLIES. TC 22S IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION AT TAU 96 AS IT MOVES UNDER THE SUBTROPICAL WESTERLIES. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 251200Z IS 33 FEET.

THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE USING THE MSI AND AN EYE FEATURE IN A 261146Z SSMIS 37 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 115 KTS IS CONSISTENT WITH PGTW AND KNES DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T6.0 (115 KTS). THE ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE WITH WARM (28-29 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE, LOW (10-15 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), AND EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW. TC 22S IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE. AFTER TAU 36, A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST WILL SHIFT THE TRACK POLEWARD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. BY TAU 96, INCREASED BAROCLINIC INTERACTION IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE TC 22S TO BEGIN TRANSITIONING INTO A SUBTROPICAL CYCLONE. THE INTENSITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 100 KTS UNDER FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THROUGH TAU 36. AFTER TAU 36, HIGH VWS IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE STEADY WEAKENING AND THE INTENSITY SHOULD FALL TO AROUND 45 KTS BY TAU 120.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (JOANINHA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 171 NM EAST OF PORT MATHURIN, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 05 KNOTS (KTS) OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON AN APPROXIMATELY 15-NM DIAMETER EYE IN ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 110 KTS IS BETWEEN PGTW AND KNES DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T5.5 (102 KTS) AND T6.0 (115 KTS), RESPECTIVELY. THE ENVIRONMENT IS SOMEWHAT SUPPORTIVE WITH WARM (28-29 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW BEING SOMEWHAT OFFSET BY MODERATE (15-20 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). TC 22S IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE. AFTER TAU 24, A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST WILL CAUSE THE TRACK TO GRADUALLY SHIFT POLEWARD AND ACCELERATE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. THE MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT WILL CAUSE SLOW WEAKENING IN INTENSITY UNTIL TAU 36. AFTER TAU 36, HIGH VWS WILL LEAD TO MORE RAPID WEAKENING FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. BY TAU 96, INTERACTION WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE TC 22S TO BEGIN TRANSITIONING INTO A SUBTROPICAL CYCLONE. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE HAS SHIFTED THE TRACK TO THE WEST AND COME INTO GENERALLY BETTER AGREEMENT THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST CYCLES, HOWEVER, TWO MEMBERS OF THE CONSENSUS (GALWEM AND UKMET) DO NOT PREDICT THE ALONG-TRACK SPEED TO INCREASE IN THE LATER TAUS. TO OFFSET THESE OUTLIERS, THE TAU 96 AND 120 JTWC TRACK FORECAST POSITIONS ARE PLACED FURTHER POLEWARD THAN THE CONSENSUS TRACK POSITIONS. CONFIDENCE IN THE TRACK FORECAST IS LOW DUE TO THE HIGH SPREAD CAUSED BY THE OUTLIERS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 270600Z IS 37 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 22S (JOANINHA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 205 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF PORT MATHURIN, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON A RECENT PGTW SATELLITE EYE FIX AND A 271734Z METOP-B ASCAT PASS. THE INTENSITY OF 115 KNOTS IS CONSISTENT WITH A CONSENSUS OF RECENT AGENCY SUBJECTIVE DVORAK AND CIMSS AUTOMATED SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES. TC 22S HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS IN RESPONSE TO PASSAGE OVER WARM WATER AND STRONG OUTFLOW ALOFT AIDED BY AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW SITUATED TO THE EAST. THE SYSTEM IS TURNING POLEWARD IN RESPONSE TO A BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST, WHICH WILL BECOME THE PRIOR STEERING MECHANISM DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD. TC 22S IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN SLOWLY IN THE NEAR-TERM AS STRONG UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW OFFSETS THE IMPACT OF INCREASING WESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) ASSOCIATED WITH A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. STEADIER WEAKENING IS ANTICIPATED AFTER TAU 12 AS THE SYSTEM CONTENDS WITH INCREASING VWS. BY TAU 96, TC 22S WILL LIKELY INTERACT WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CUT OFF FROM THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLY JET AND UNDERGO SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION. TRANSITION INTO A SUBTROPICAL STORM IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE BY TAU 120. THE CYCLONE SHOULD EVENTUALLY MERGE INTO THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES AND BECOME FULLY EXTRATROPICAL, BUT AFTER TAU 120. THERE IS CONSIDERABLE SPREAD IN THE NUMERICAL MODEL TRACK FORECAST GUIDANCE. THE UKMET AND GALWEM MODELS PREDICT A SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER, MEANDERING TRACK RELATIVE TO THE OTHER CONSENSUS MODEL GUIDANCE. THE REMAINING MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING TRACK SPEED, BUT NOT DIRECTION. THE CURRENT FORECAST LIES SLIGHTLY TO THE WEST OF THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS, FAVORING THE ECMWF DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE MODEL SOLUTIONS, WHICH BEST REFLECT THE ANTICIPATED EVOLUTION OF THE STEERING PATTERN AS THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE BUILDS TO THE EAST.

STORM INTENSITY HAS BEEN SUPPORTED BY PASSAGE OVER WARM WATER AND STRONG OUTFLOW ALOFT, ENHANCED BY AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW TO THE EAST. DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD, INCREASING WESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL LIKELY DRIVE STEADY WEAKENING AS TC 22S TRACKS POLEWARD ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE TO THE EAST.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (JOANINHA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 803 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE BULK OF DEEP BUT COLLAPSING CONVECTION SHEARED EAST AND POLEWARD OF AN ILL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC). THE INITIAL POSITION IS EXTRAPOLATED FROM A BROAD LLC FEATURE IN THE 301657Z AMSU MICROWAVE PASS WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE PGTW DVORAK ESTIMATE OF T3.0/45KTS. TC 22S HAS DRIFTED INTO HIGH (40KTS+) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS); HOWEVER, GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW IS PROVIDING VENTILATION TO THE STRAYED CONVECTION. THE VWS IS EXPECTED TO GET WORSE AND RAPIDLY ERODE THE SYSTEM TO DISSIPATION BY TAU 36, POSSIBLY SOONER. CONCURRENTLY, THE CYCLONE IS NOW UNDERGOING SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION AND WILL BECOME FULLY SUBTROPICAL BY TAU 24, IF NOT SOONER. NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT, LENDING FAIR CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 301800Z IS 25 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (JOANINHA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 796 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTH- SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO BE INUNDATED BY STRONG (40KTS+) NORTHWESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, DISPLACING AND ERODING THE ASSOCIATED DEEP CONVECTION MORE THAN 50NM SOUTHEASTWARD AND PARTLY EXPOSING THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION THAT HAS BECOME RAGGED AND ELONGATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE JTWC TC PHASE CLASSIFICATION WORKSHEET SHOWS THAT THE SYSTEM HAS BECOME SUBTROPICAL. TC 22S WILL CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY ERODE, LEADING TO DISSIPATION BY TAU 12. 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 310000Z IS 20 FEET.//
