1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
150 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 7.4S1 96.0E5 TO 10.4S5 91.1E1
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 20 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 251530Z6 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 7.5S2 95.7E1. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 04 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 7.2S9 96.4E9 IS NOW
LOCATED NEAR 7.5S4 95.7E1, SOUTHWEST OF SUMATRA IN THE SOUTH INDIAN
OCEAN. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS INCREASED
ORGANIZATION OF DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A WELL-DEFINED LLCC.
A RECENT SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGE (SSM/I) PASS INDICATES THAT
THE CONVECTION IS ISOLATED TO THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE LLCC.
THE 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE REGION IS BELOW WEAK
NORTHERLIES ASSOCIATED WITH AN EXTENSION OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1006 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS NOW GOOD.

260900Z7 POSITION NEAR 8.2S0 94.2E5.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 270 NM NORTH-
NORTHWEST OF COCOS ISLANDS, HAS BEEN TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT
4 KNOTS DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
260530Z6 INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35
KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEAL A
WELL-DEVELOPED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH ASSOCIATED DEEP
CONVECTION WRAPPING INTO THE CLOUD SYSTEM CENTER. TC 02S IS
CURRENTLY SITUATED IN A WEAKNESS BETWEEN THE MID-LEVEL HIGH HEIGHT
CENTER TO THE NORTHWEST AND A STRONGER RIDGE EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE
SYSTEM. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC MODELS CONSISTING OF UK MET OFFICE
(EGRR) AND NOGAPS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
TRACK THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. TC 02S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY
SLOWLY AS IT REMAINS UNDER A FAVORABLE AREA FOR DEVELOPMENT. WIND
RADII FORECAST ARE BASED ON CLIMATOLOGY FOR AN AVERAGE SIZED SYSTEM.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 260600Z4 IS 18 FEET. THIS WARNING

262100Z1 POSITION NEAR 8.1S9 92.9E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 300 NM NORTHWEST OF
THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS BEEN TRACKING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS
DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
261730Z9 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS DEEP CONVECTION WRAPPING INTO THE
CLOUD SYSTEM CENTER. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO BE SHEARED BY
UPPER LEVEL NORTHEASTERLIES. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC MODELS CONSISTING
OF UK MET OFFICE (EGRR) AND NOGAPS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH A
WESTWARD TRACK THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. TC 02S IS EXPECTED TO
INTENSIFY SLOWLY AS IT TRACKS UNDER WEAK TO MODERATE UPPER LEVEL
SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 260600Z4 IS 18 FEET.

290900Z0 POSITION NEAR 9.1S0 84.6E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (ALEX-ANDRE), LOCATED IN THE SOUTH INDIAN
OCEAN, HAS BEEN TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 290530Z9 INFRARED
AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS. ANIMATED
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS INCREASED CONVECTION. 200 MB ANALYSIS SHOWS
TC 02S IS SITUATED EQUATORWARD OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IN A REGION
OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 02S IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
TRACKING WEST TO WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF
A MID-LEVEL RIDGE SITUATED TO THE SOUTHEAST. TC 02S IN EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY AS IT TRACKS UNDER THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC MODELS CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, UKMET
GLOBAL, AND GFDN ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
TRACK THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT

SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. THE LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) IS EMBEDDED IN A LARGER BROAD
CIRCULATION AND IS DIFFICULT TO LOCATE. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE LLCC IS SHEARED EAST OF THE MAIN
CONVECTION. 200 MB ANALYSIS SHOWS TC 02S IS SITUATED EQUATORWARD OF
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IN A REGION OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR.
THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD AS THE LOW/MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS EAST. TC 02S
IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT CONTINUES TO ENCOUNTER EASTERLY
SHEAR. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC MODELS CONSISTING OF NOGAPS AND GFDN
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK THROUGH
THE PERIOD. THE FORECAST TRACK IS BASED ON A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE
AND THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
311200Z7 IS 20 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 312100Z7, 010300Z4, 010900Z0
AND 011500Z7.//

REMARKS:
312100Z7 POSITION NEAR 9.8S7 79.7E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02S (ALEX-ANDRE), LOCATED IN THE SOUTH INDIAN
OCEAN, HAS BEEN TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS DURING THE PAST
SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 311730Z5 INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS BROADENED AND BECOME DISORGANIZED
DURING THE PAST 12 HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY AND REMAINS
SHEARED UNDER MODERATE TO STRONG NORTHEASTERLIES. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 311800Z3 IS 15 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.//
