WTPS21 PGTW 20060127 21:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT/272051ZJAN2006// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 125 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 17.9S 148.8E TO 18.5S 153.2E 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 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IM AGERY AT 271800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 17.9S 149.0E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING EAST-NORTHEASTWARD AT 05 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 18.0S 148.5E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 17.9S 149.0E, APPROXIMATELY 195 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA. ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO DEPICT INCREASED CONVECTION NEAR A WELL DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED NEAR A RIDGE AXIS WITH LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND FAVORABLE DIVERGENCE ALOFT. ADDITIONALLY 850 MB VORTICITY VALUES HAVE INCREASED OVER THE LAST 12 HOURS. MAXIMUM SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 998 MB. GIVEN THE INCREASE IN CONVECTION AND A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR FUR- THER INTENSIFICATION, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO GOOD. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 282100Z.// ========================================================================= WTPS31 PGTW 20060128 03:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// REF/A/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/272051ZJAN06// AMPN/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT.// RMKS/ 1.

THE OVERALL STORM ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL INTENSIFICATION THROUGH THE 36 HOUR FORECAST POINT. HOWEVER, THE CYCLONE SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN AFTER 48 HOURS AS IT WILL INCREASE ITS FORWARD SPEED AND ENCOUNTER HIGHER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10P (JIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 135 NM NORTH OF NOUMEA, NEW CALEDONIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 19 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 10P IS BEING STEERED TO THE SOUTHEAST BY A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH. GUIDANCE SINCE THE PREVIOUS WARNING HAS CHANGED, MOVING AWAY FROM AN EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE WEST OF THE SYSTEM OVER AUSTRALIA BUILDING EASTWARD IN RESPONSE TO A FASTER THAN EX- PECTED FILLING OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. THIS WILL RESULT IN A RELAXATION OF THE MID LEVEL FLOW STEERING THE STORM, AND SHOULD SLOW THE SYSTEM DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. UKMET, NOGAPS, AND GFDN ALL SHOW STRONG ENOUGH RIDGING BUILDING IN TO TURN THE STORM BACK EQUATORWARD. COMPARISON OF MODEL FIELDS WITH SATELLITE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONFIRMS A FAIR MODEL ANALYSIS IN THESE DYNAMIC AIDS. HOWEVER, FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW PAST 24 DUE TO POOR AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER AIDS. INTENSITY GUIDANCE IS ALSO MIXED. HOWEVER, LESS THAN FAVORABLE OUTFLOW AND NON IDEAL SST SHOULD KEEP THE SYSTEM FROM INTENSIFYING, ESPECIALLY ONCE THE SYSTEM SLOWS DOWN. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 310000Z IS 22 FEET.
