SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 091100Z JUN 97//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 6.8S4 172.7W7 TO 7.9S6 176.9W3
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 20 TO 25 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 090932Z3 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 7.2S9 174.0W2.  THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS.

REMARKS:
111500Z8 POSITION 10.6S7  178.2E8
TROPICAL CYCLONE 38P (KELI) IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 06
KNOTS. THE WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON
111132Z INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. CURRENT WIND RADII
ARE BASED ON 110850Z SATELLITE MICROWAVE IMAGERY. KELI IS
FORECAST TO BEGIN TURNING SOUTH. A MID-LEVEL TROUGH IS
FORECAST TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND PLACE THIS SYSTEM
IN STEERING FLOW TOWARD THE SOUTH IN ABOUT 24 HOURS.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 38P (KELI) IS NEARING PEAK INTENSITY AND
IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN WEAKENING WITHIN 24 HOURS AS
STRONGER UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LEVEL
TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE WEST INCREASE THE VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR ABOVE THIS SYSTEM. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 111200Z IS 19 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 120300Z6

REMARKS:
131500Z0 POSITION 15.4S0  175.1W4
TROPICAL CYCLONE 38P (KELI) IS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 9
KNOTS.  THE SYSTEM HAS SLOWED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS,
BUT IS EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE ONCE AGAIN TO THE SOUTHEAST
AS IT BEGINS TRANSITION TO AN EXTRATROPICAL SYSTEM.  TC 38P
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO GAIN LATITUDE DUE TO A PASSING
MIDLATITUDE TROUGH.  INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT
TC 38P IS EXPERIENCING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FROM THE NORTHWEST.
WIND RADII HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED BASED ON 122239Z9 SCATTEROMETER
PASS AND BY SYNOPTIC DATA FROM PAGO PAGO (WMO 91765) AND
FALEOLO AIRPORT (WMO 91758). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 131200Z7 IS 20 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 140300Z8 (DTG 140153Z4)
AND 141500Z1 (DTG 141353Z7).//
