REF/A/RMG/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/250601Z JAN 00//
AMPN/REF A IS TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTPS22 PGTW
250600)//
RMKS/
1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT LOUIS
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
A 150 NM RADIUS OF 15.4S0 56.1E2 WITHIN THE NEXT 3 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 250530Z5 INDICATES THAT A
CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 15.4S0 56.3E4. THE SYSTEM IS
MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 01 KNOTS.
3. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 15.1S7
56.5E6 IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 15.4S0 56.3E4, APPROXIMATELY 335 NM EAST
OF MADAGASCAR. ANIMATED VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
PERSISTENT CONVECTION THAT HAS BECOME MORE ORGANIZED DURING THE PAST
6 HOURS. A RECENT PARTIAL SCATTEROMETER PASS SUGGESTS A BROAD LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONVECTION. UW-CIMSS ANALYSIS
INDICATES WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND FAIR OUTFLOW ALOFT. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS NOW GOOD.
4. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 261000Z9.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 08S (CONNIE) IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 345 NM
NORTH-NORTHWEST OF MAURITIUS AND HAS REMAINED QUASI-STATIONARY OVER
THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED UPON 262330Z6
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES ORGANIZATION AND OUTFLOW HAVE IMPROVED
SLIGHTLY AS THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. TC 08S (CONNIE) IS FORECAST TO REMAIN QUASI-
STATIONARY DURING THE INITIAL 12-24 HOURS. AFTERWARDS, THE SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO TRACK SLOWLY SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE 72 HOUR
PERIOD INTO A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TC 08S IS EXPECTED
TO INTENSIFY AT A NEAR-CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 270000Z9 IS 18 FEET. NEXT

REMARKS:
281500Z6 POSITION NEAR 17.4S2 56.9E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 08S (CONNIE) IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 185 NM
NORTH OF MAURITIUS AND HAS MOVED SOUTHWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST
6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 281130Z5 VISIBLE AND
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 102 TO 115 KNOTS. TC 08S
HAS MAINTAINED ITS INTENSITY OF 115 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS.
ANIMATED VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO DEPICT A WELL
DEFINED 11 NM EYE. ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY REVEALS WARMING OF THE
CLOUD TOPS OVER THE CENTER. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS GOOD OUTFLOW
OVER ALL QUADRANTS. VERTICAL WINDSHEAR WHICH PREVIOUSLY HAD
INHIBITED OUTFLOW OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED.
TC 08S IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD WITHIN A WEAKNESS IN
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TC 08S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY DURING THE
NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AFTERWARD, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO START
WEAKENING RAPIDLY AS IT BEGINS TO MOVE INTO A REGION OF INCREASING
SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES, AND BEGINS
EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
281200Z3 IS 25 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 282100Z3 (DTG 281953Z8),

IMAGERY INDICATES THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS A 10 NM EYE, HOWEVER,
ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY REVEALS WARMING OF THE CLOUD TOPS OVER THE

SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 77 AND 90 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THE SYSTEM HAS CONTINUED TO WEAKEN OVER
THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE EYE IS NO LONGER EVIDENT AND THE SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO ELONGATE TO THE SOUTHEAST. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
CONTINUES TO INDICATE A WEAK TROPICAL UPPER-TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH
(TUTT) TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM. THIS TUTT IS ENHANCING THE
UPPER-LEVEL WIND FLOW, AND CAUSING AN INCREASE OF VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR OVER THE SOUTHERN QUADRANT. DRIER AIR FROM THE TUTT IS BEING
INJECTED INTO THE INFLOW OF THE SYSTEM. THE DEVELOPING DRY SLOT IN
THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO ENHANCE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. TC 08S
(CONNIE) IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE 24
HOUR PERIOD TURNING SOUTHWARD AFTER THIS POINT INTO A WEAKNESS IN
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WEAKENING
DUE TO THE INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT.
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH A TROUGH MOVING EASTWARD IN THE
MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES WILL SERVE TO FURTHER INCREASE THE VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR OVER THE SYSTEM, AND SUPPORT ITS EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION
BY THE 72 HOUR TIME FRAME. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
291800Z0 IS 22 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 300900Z2 (DTG 300753Z8) AND

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 08S (CONNIE) IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 145 NM
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF REUNION ISLAND, AND HAS MOVED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
292330Z9 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 65 AND 77 KNOTS.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THE SYSTEM HAS
WEAKENED SOMEWHAT OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE EYE IS NO LONGER
EVIDENT AND THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO ELONGATE TO THE SOUTHEAST. WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO INDICATE A WEAK TROPICAL UPPER-
TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT) TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM. THIS TUTT
IS ENHANCING THE UPPER-LEVEL WIND FLOW, AND CAUSING AN INCREASE OF
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE SOUTHERN QUADRANT. DRIER AIR FROM THE
TUTT IS BEING INJECTED INTO THE INFLOW OF THE SYSTEM. THE DRY, COLD
AIR WILL ALSO ENHANCE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. TC 08S (CONNIE) IS
FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE 24 HOUR PERIOD,
THEN TURN SOUTHWARD THROUGH A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE.
AFTER 48 HOURS THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN A MORE EASTWARD
DIRECTION AS IT ENTERS THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES. THE SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WEAKENING DUE TO THE INCREASING VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AND DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH A
TROUGH MOVING EASTWARD IN THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES WILL SERVE TO
FURTHER INCREASE THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE SYSTEM, AND ALSO
SUPPORT ITS EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION BY THE 72 HOUR TIME FRAME.

REMARKS:
012100Z4 POSITION NEAR 32.5S0 53.7E5.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 08S (CONNIE) IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 550 NM
SOUTHEAST OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF MADAGASCAR, AND HAS MOVED
SOUTHEASTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON 011730Z2 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF 30 TO 45 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
011451Z2 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) PASS DEPICT A FULLY
EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH WEAKENING
CONVECTION DISPLACED APPROXIMATELY 65 NM SOUTHWEST OF THE CENTER. TC
08S (CONNIE) IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES. IT APPEARS
TC 08S WILL NOT UNDERGO EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION AS PREVIOUSLY
STATED. TC 08S WILL REMAIN EQUATORWARD OF THE JETSTREAM. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 011800Z0 IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
020900Z1 (DTG 020753Z7). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 09S (KIRRILY)

REMARKS:
020900Z1 POSITION NEAR 33.7S3 54.9E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 08S (CONNIE) IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 670 NM
SOUTHEAST OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF MADAGASCAR, AND HAS MOVED
SOUTHEASTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON 020530Z0 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 TO 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND A 020211Z6 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) PASS
DEPICT A FULLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH
WEAKENING CONVECTION DISPLACED APPROXIMATELY 75 NM NORTHEAST OF THE
CENTER. TC 08S (CONNIE) IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WEAKENING
DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-
LATITUDE WESTERLIES. TC 08S WILL REMAIN EQUATORWARD OF THE JETSTREAM
AND DISSIPATE BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 020600Z8 IS 18 FEET. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON
THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN).
THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION.
