1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT LOUIS
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 13.9S3 61.8E5 TO 14.0S5 56.0E1
WITHIN THE NEXT 06 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 270830Z0 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 13.9S3 61.8E5. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 12
KNOTS.
3. REMARKS:
INFRARED AND MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY DURING THE PAST 6 TO 12
HOURS INDICATE THE AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION EAST OF MADAGASCAR HAS
BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED. 270155Z 85H MICROWAVE IMAGERY SUGGESTS
THAT AT LEAST A WELL DEFINED MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION HAS FORMED
WITH THIS SYSTEM. UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW HAS ALSO IMPROVED AND THE
OVERALL CLOUD PATTERN HAS BECOME MORE CIRCULAR INDICATING THAT
THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR HAS DECREASED ACROSS THIS SYSTEM. RAPID
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DUE TO THE WELL DEVELOPED
MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION AND INCREASE IN DEEP CONVECTION NEAR THE
CIRCULATION CENTER NOTED DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS.
4. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 280930Z2.
5. THIS IS A PRODUCT OF THE ALTERNATE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER,
YOKOSUKA, JAPAN. QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE TYPHOON DUTY
OFFICER AT NPMOC YOKOSUKA DSN 243-8872.

REMARKS:
281500Z6 POSITION NEAR 13.5S9 57.6E8. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 281200Z IS 12 FEET. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS
NAVPACMETOCCEN 280921Z FEB 00 TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS21
PGTW 280930). THE AREA OF CONVECTION EAST OF MADAGASCAR HAS BECOME
BETTER ORGANIZED AND INTENSIFIED INTO TC 15S. CURRENT INTENSITY IS
BASED ON A 280207Z9 SCATTEROMETER PASS AND IMPROVED CONVECTIVE
ORGANIZATION. UPPER LVL OUTFLOW IS GOOD TO THE WEST BUT RESTRICTED TO
THE EAST. TC 15S IS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN A GENERAL WESTWARD DIRECTION
AND GRADUAL SLOW IN FORWARD SPEED DUE TO A BUILDING RIDGE WEST OF THE
SYSTEM OVER MADAGASCAR AND THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL. THIS IS CONSISTENT
WITH OUR DYNAMIC AIDS AND GLOBAL MODELS. TC 15S IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY
INTENSIFY THRU 24 HOURS DUE TO MODERATE EASTERLY SHEAR. AFTER 36 HOURS
THE VERTICAL SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE AS TC 15S SLOWS ITS FORWARD
SPEED. THEREFORE A MORE AVERAGE INTENSIFICATION RATE OF 1 T-NUMBER PER
DAY IS FORECAST. NEXT WARNINGS AT 290300Z4 (DTG 290153Z0) AND 291500Z7
(DTG 291353Z3). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 13P (KIM) WARNINGS (WTPS31

REMARKS:
290300Z4 POSITION NEAR 13.0S4 56.2E3. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 290000Z IS 15 FEET. TC 15S HAS CONTINUED TO MOVE WEST OVER
THE PAST 12 HOURS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LARGE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE TO
THE SOUTH. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES INCREASED
ORGANIZATION AND PERSISTENT OUTFLOW TO THE WEST. OUTFLOW OVER THE
EASTERN PORTION OF THE SYSTEM IS BEING INHIBITED BY UPPER LEVEL
WINDS WHICH ARE ALSO PROVIDING MODERATE SHEAR. RECENT MICROWAVE
IMAGERY INDICATES THE MAJORITY OF THE DEEP CONVECTION IS TO THE WEST
OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER. INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS AND MICROWAVE IMAGERY. THE FORECAST
TRACK REFLECTS THE DEEP STEERING FLOW CONTINUING TO MOVE THE SYSTEM
WESTWARD, WITH A GRADUAL TURN TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST AS THE SUB-
TROPICAL RIDGE WEAKENS AND RETREATS EASTWARD. AS THE SYSTEM MOVES
SOUTHWESTWARD NEAR THE END OF THE WARNING PERIOD, THE UPPER LEVEL
WINDS CURRENTLY INHIBITING THE OUTFLOW ON THE EAST HALF OF THE
SYSTEM WILL ABATE ALLOWING FOR GREATER OUTFLOW AND FURTHER
INTENSIFICATION. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP AT A
CLIMATOLOGICALLY AVERAGE RATE FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

INTENSITY OF 65 KNOTS IS BASED ON RECENT IR SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATING A WELL DEFINED CDO WITH AN EMBEDDED CENTER AND A 011725Z6
SSMI OVER PASS SHOWING A 15 NM DIAMETER CLOSED EYE ALONG THE COAST.
STEADY WEAKENING WILL OCCUR DURING THE NEXT 36 HOURS AS TC 15S TRACKS
OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OF NORTHERN MADAGASCAR. HOWEVER TORRENTIAL
RAINFALL WILL LIKELY OCCUR AS TC 15S TRAVERSES THE REGION. TC 15S WILL
CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD AND RE-INTENSIFY AS TC 15S EMERGES BACK
OVER OPEN WATER. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE OVER THE
MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL SUPPORTING THE RE-INTENSIFICATION. THIS IS A PRODUCT
OF THE ALTERNATE JTWC, YOKOSUKA, JAPAN. QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO
THE TYPHOON DUTY OFFICER AT NPMOC YOKOSUKA (DSN 243-8872). NEXT WARNINGS

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 15S (GLORIA) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AT 11 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON 012300Z6 AND 020000Z2 INFRARED IMAGERY. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF 35 TO 45 KNOTS. TC 15S HAS BEGUN TRACKING INTO NORTHEASTERN
MADAGASCAR AND IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE ON A GENERALLY SOUTHWESTWARD
TRACK UNDER THE STEERING FLOW OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
SOUTHEAST. INTERACTION WITH THE ELEVATED TOPOGRAPHY DOWN THE CENTER
OF THE MADAGASCAR, HOWEVER, IS EXPECTED TO CREATE SOME WOBBLE IN THE
FORECAST TRACK AS THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) MOVES
ACROSS THE VARYING TERRAIN. TC 15S IS FORECAST TO BEGIN WEAKENING
WHILE OVER LAND. IF THE LLCC REMAINS INTACT AND MOVES INTO THE
MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL, SOME REINTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED. THIS IS A
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WHICH ANTICIPATED THE
LLCC TO MOVE MORE RAPIDLY ACROSS THE ISLAND AND ALLOW FOR A GREATER
INTENSIFICATION OF THE LLCC. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 15S (GLORIA) HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
031130Z8 VISIBLE AND INFRARED IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 KNOTS. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A BAND OF CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED

CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE LOW-MID LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING OVER
30S3 IS EXPECTED TO BUILD NORTHWARD OVER THE EAST COAST OF
MADAGASCAR DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS WILL CAUSE TC 15S (GLORIA)
TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD OVER THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL. SLIGHT
INTENSIFICATION SHOULD OCCUR AFTERWARD AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OVER THE
CHANNEL. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 050000Z5 IS 10 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 050900Z4 (DTG 050753Z0), 051500Z1 (DTG 051353Z7),
052100Z8 (DTG 051953Z3) AND 060300Z9 (DTG 060153Z5). REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14P (STEVE) WARNINGS (WTXS35 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY
UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 16S (NORMAN) WARNINGS (WTXS32
PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S
(NONAME) WARNINGS (WTXS33 PGTW) FOR FINAL WARNING.//

REMARKS:
050900Z4 POSITION NEAR 20.6S8 42.9E5.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 15S (GLORIA) HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05
KNOTS, APPROXIMATELY 70 NM WEST OF MORONDAVA, MADAGASCAR, DURING THE
PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 050530Z3 VISIBLE AND
INFRARED IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS IS BASED
ON PERSISTENCE AND SYNOPTIC DATA. ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY DEPICT A WEAK FULLY-EXPOSED
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH WEAK ISOLATED CONVECTION
ABOUT 100 NM EAST OF THE LLCC OVER LAND. SYNOPTIC DATA SHOWS SURFACE
PRESSURES NEAR 1010 MB AND WINDS LESS THAN 10 KNOTS AROUND THE LLCC.
THE 200 MB ANALYSIS AND UW-CIMSS ANALYSIS INDICATE THAT THE LLCC IS
WITHIN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. TC 15S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK
SOUTHWESTWARD AND TO DISSIPATE BY THE 12-HOUR POINT. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 050600Z1 IS 10 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. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 14P (STEVE) WARNINGS (WTXS35
PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 16S (NORMAN)
WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL
CYCLONE 17S (NONAME) WARNING (WTXS33 PGTW) FOR ITS FINAL WARNING.//
