WTXS21 PGTW 20131025 23:00z SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 160 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 9.5S 69.4E TO 11.4S 63.4E 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 IMAGERY AT 252230Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 9.7S 68.7E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 9.5S 68.7E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 9.7S 68.7E, APPROXIMATELY 265 NM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF DIEGO GARCIA. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH CURVED CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC. A 251729Z METOP-A 89 GHZ IMAGE DEPICTS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LLCC WITH A CURVED DEEP CONVECTIVE BAND PERSISTING OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE. A 251728Z ASCAT IMAGE INDICATES 25 TO 30 KNOT WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE WITH 20 TO 25 KNOT WINDS NOW PRESENT OVER THE NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A GENERALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LIGHT (10 TO 15 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. DYNAMIC MODELS INDICATE SLOW DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 262300Z.// ========================================================================= WARNING 001 NOT AVAILABLE ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20131027 15:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE 01S (ONE) WARNING NR 002// RMKS/ 1.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 01S (ONE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 570 NM NORTHEAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS AN ELONGATED AND PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH PERSISTENT CONVECTION THAT HAS BECOME CONFINED TO THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED UPON THE PARTIALLY EXPOSED LLCC SEEN IN THE MSI LOOP WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 35 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30 TO 45 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS A MODERATE ENVIRONMENT AS INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS),CURRENTLY ASSESSED AT MODERATE TO HIGH LEVELS (15 TO 25 KNOTS), IS OFFSETTING VIGOROUS POLEWARD OUTFLOW. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE AREA ARE ALSO ONLY MODERATELY FAVORABLE (26 DEGREES CELSIUS). TC 01S IS TRACKING GENERALLY WESTWARD ALONG A LOW- TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) THAT IS BUILDING EAST OF MADAGASCAR AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ALONG THIS BUILDING STR AND TRACK WEST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN TROPICAL CYCLONE STATUS AS FURTHER DECREASING ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ARE EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE THE SYSTEM BELOW WARNING THRESHOLD BY TAU 48, ALTHOUGH BASED ON THE CURRENTLY MODERATE ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF DISSIPATION BEFORE THEN. LIMITED DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT; THEREFORE, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK, WHICH IS POSITIONED CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 271200Z IS 10 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 280300Z AND 281500Z.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20131028 03:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI// SUBJ: TROPICAL CYCLONE 01S FINAL WARNING 1. TROPICAL CYCLONE 01S (ONE) WARNING NR 003 01 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTHIO MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY --- WARNING POSITION: 280000Z --- NEAR 13.1S 62.5E MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 260 DEGREES AT 07 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 060 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 035 KT, GUSTS 045 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER REPEAT POSIT: 13.1S 62.5E --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 281200Z --- 13.1S 60.5E MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 030 KT, GUSTS 040 KT WIND RADII VALID OVER OPEN WATER ONLY DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER --- REMARKS: 280300Z POSITION NEAR 13.1S 62.0E. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S (ONE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 550 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A FULLY-EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH AN ISOLATED BURST OF CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTH QUADRANT. A 272241Z TRMM 85GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS AN ELONGATED LLCC WITH WEAKENING CONVECTIVE BANDING AND A LARGER AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION DISPLACED WELL TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE PRIMARY LLCC. RECENT SCATTEROMETRY DATA INDICATES 15 TO 25 KNOT CORE WINDS AND 25 TO 30 KNOT GRADIENT WINDS DISPLACED OVER THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. TC 01S IS WEAKENING QUICKLY AND TRACKING GENERALLY WESTWARD WITHIN A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE BY TAU 12. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI. THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 280000Z IS 10 FEET.//
