REF/A/RMG/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/120121Z APR 00//
AMPN/REF IS TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS21 PGTW 120130)//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
190 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 13.0S4 117.5E4 TO 14.0S5
108.3E2 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 041430Z2 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 13.1S5 116.8E6. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 10
KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS IMPROVING ORGANIZATION
IN THE PAST 6 HOURS AROUND A LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A
RECENT QUICKSCATT SCATTEROMETER DEPICTS THE LLCC EMBEDDED IN BROADER
TROUGHING. INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE CONVECTION IS STARTING TO
WRAP AROUND THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE LLCC. THE UPPER LEVEL
ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED AT 1006 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS NOW GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 131730Z5.

REMARKS:
130300Z7 POSITION NEAR 13.9S3 113.6E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 24S HAS FORMED 375 NM SOUTHEAST OF JAVA AND
HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 18 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS.
THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 122330Z1 VISIBLE AND INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS. ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL
IMAGERY DEPICTS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) WITH BANDS OF CONVECTION WRAPPING AROUND THE WESTERN SIDE.
THE SYSTEM HAS MOVED BENEATH THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE INDICATIVE OF
IMPROVED OUTFLOW ALOFT. TC 24S IS FORECAST TO TRACK INITIALLY
WESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO
ITS SOUTH. AFTER THE 24 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD, THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK
MORE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AS THE RIDGE BUILDS NORTHWARD. TC 24S IS
FORECAST TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY AS IT TRACKS BENEATH THE UPPER-LEVEL
RIDGE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 130000Z4 IS 12 FEET. THIS

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 24S (PAUL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 265 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF CHRISTMAS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
AT 10 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED
ON 151130Z1 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 127 KNOTS.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS THE 10 NM EYE HAS BECOME
CLOUD FILLED. A 151108Z6 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGERY (SSM/I)
PASS INDICATED A WELL DEVELOPED EYE WITH A BANDING FEATURE WRAPPING
IN TOWARD THE LLCC FROM THE SOUTH. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
CONTINUES TO SHOW IMPRESSIVE OUTFLOW OVER THE SYSTEM. A MID-LEVEL
RIDGE SITUATED NEAR 20S2 90E9 WILL PROVIDE A WESTWARD STEERING FLOW
FOR TC 24S (PAUL) DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AFTERWARD, INDIRECT
INTERACTION WITH THE TROPICAL LOW SITUATED SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA
WILL WEAKEN THE PERIPHERAL RIDGE SITUATED BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEMS
CAUSING TC 24S TO TURN MORE TO THE SOUTHWEST. TC 24S (PAUL) IS

REMARKS:
160300Z0 POSITION NEAR 13.6S0 100.7E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 24S (PAUL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 08
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
152330Z4 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 127
AND 140 KNOTS. ANIMATED VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS A 19 NM CLOUD FILLED EYE. IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS THAT TC 24S
(PAUL) HAS WEAKENED SLIGHTLY AND BECOME LESS SYMMETRIC. ANIMATED
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW GOOD OUTFLOW OVER THE SYSTEM.
A MID-LEVEL RIDGE SITUATED NEAR 19S0 91E0 WILL PROVIDE A WESTWARD
STEERING FLOW FOR TC 24S (PAUL) DURING THE NEXT 12 HOURS. AFTERWARD,
INDIRECT INTERACTION WITH TROPICAL CYCLONE 26S SITUATED SOUTHEAST OF
DIEGO GARCIA WILL WEAKEN THE PERIPHERAL RIDGE SITUATED BETWEEN THE
TWO SYSTEMS CAUSING TC 24S TO TURN MORE TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST. TC
24S (PAUL) IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT INTENSITY OVER THE
NEXT 12 HOURS. THE WIND RADII ARE BASED ON A RECENT ERS-2
SCATTEROMETER PASS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 160000Z7 IS
28 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 161500Z3 (DTG 161351Z7) AND 170300Z1 (DTG

190300Z3 POSITION NEAR 14.9S4 94.8E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 24S (PAUL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 200 NM
SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS DRIFTED WESTWARD AT
03 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
182330Z7 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 90 KNOTS. ANIMATED
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS ELONGATION TO THE NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
AXIS, AS WELL AS FURTHER WEAKENING OVER THE PAST TWELVE HOURS. TC
24S (PAUL) HAD REMAINED QUASI-STATIONARY FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 HOURS
BEFORE DRIFTING WESTWARD AGAIN FOR THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS
IN A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WITH WEAK STEERING FLOW. TC
24S (PAUL) IS FORECAST TO RESUME ITS WEST-SOUTHWESTERWARD COURSE AS
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE PICKS UP THE STEERING FLOW ONCE AGAIN. TC 24S
(PAUL) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE WEAKENING THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD
AS IT MOVES INTO INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 190000Z0 IS 24 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 191500Z6 (DTG

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 24S (PAUL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 200 NM
SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS REMAINED QUASI-STATIONARY DURING
THE PAST 6 HOURS WITH A SLIGHT WESTWARD DRIFT. THE WARNING POSITION
IS BASED ON 191130Z5 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON CURRENT SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 65
KNOTS. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO DEPICT ELONGATION ON
A NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AXIS, AS WELL AS FURTHER WEAKENING OVER THE
PAST TWELVE HOURS. THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN THE WEAKNESS OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WITH LITTLE OR NO STEERING FLOW. TC 24S (PAUL) IS
FORECAST TO RESUME ITS WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD COURSE AS THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE TO THE SOUTH BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN AND BECOMES THE DOMINANT
STEERING FLOW. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE WEAKENING THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD AS IT MOVES INTO AN INCREASINGLY UNFAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 191200Z3 IS 18 FEET.

FLOW PROVIDED BY A LOW-LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING WEST-NORTHWEST FROM THE
SOUTHWEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA WILL WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS WITH
THE APPROACH OF A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH FROM THE WEST. TC 24S IS
EXPECTED TO TRACK WITHIN THE WEAKNESS THROUGH THE PERIOD. TC 24S
