NARR/REF A IS TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT FOR THE SOUTH INDIAN
OCEAN(WTXS21 PGTW 160300). REF B IS A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION
ALERT FOR THE SOUTHEAST PACIFIC (WHPS21 PHNC 160300)//
RMKS/
1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT LOUIS
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
075 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 12.7S0 74.0E1 TO 13.6S0 68.0E4
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 25 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AND SYNOPTIC DATA AT 160700Z4 INDICATE THAT A LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) IS LOCATED NEAR 13.0S4 74.1E2. THE SYSTEM
IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS.
3. REMARKS:
CURRENT VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES AN OVERALL INCREASE
IN CONVECTION AND ORGANIZATION OVER THE PAST 12 HRS. A SATELLITE
FIX FROM AFWA INDICATES THE LLCC IS EXPOSED AND APPROXIMATELY 30NM
EAST OF THE CONVECTION. SYNOPTIC DATA INDICATES THIS IS A BROAD
CIRCULATION WITHIN THE VERY ACTIVE MONSOON TROUGH. UPPER-LEVEL DATA
INDICATES AN ANTICYCLONE EAST OF THE LLCC. THIS ANTICLYCLONE IS
CURRENTLY PROVIDING THE SHEAR OVER THE SYSTEM. OBJECTIVE AND MODEL
GUIDANCE INDICATE A WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK.
4. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 170900Z7.
5. SEE REF A FOR DETAILS ON A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT
LOCATED NEAR 13.3S7 114.8E4. SEE REF A FOR DETAILS ON A TROPICAL
CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT LOCATED NEAR 17.0S8 152.0W8. //

REMARKS:
170300Z1 POSITION NEAR 13.5S9 73.6E6. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29S HAS
FORMED IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN AND IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 2 KNOTS. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH. THE CYCLONE IS IN A LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
ENVIRONMENT, WHICH SHOULD ALLOW INTENSIFICATION AT A NORMAL RATE.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 170000 IS 14 FEET.

REMARKS:
170900Z7 POSITION NEAR 13.7S1 73.4E4. TROPICAL CYCLONE 27S HAS
MOVED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 3 KTS OFF THE SOUTH OF DIEGO GARCIA, OVER
THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED UPON 180530Z6
ANIMATED VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED UPON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF
25 AND 35 KNOTS. A 170008Z6 TRMM MICROWAVE IMAGER PASS SHOWS A
DEFINITE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER AND SOME WEAK BANDING
FEATURES. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29S WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE WEST AS
IT IS STEERED BY THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH. DEVELOPMENT
SHOULD CONTINUE SLOWLY FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS, THEN MORE RAPIDLY OUT
TO 72 HOURS, AS IT MOVES WESTWARD, IN A WEAK TO MODERATE VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. WIND RADII ARE BASED ON AN AVERAGE SIZED
STORM. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 170600Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT

GARCIA AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS
BASED UPON 171730Z9 ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, AND THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED UPON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES TC 29S CONTINUES TO SLOWLY ORGANIZE AS IT TRACKS

REMARKS:
190300Z3 POSITION NEAR 14.6S1 74.1E2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 29S HAS TRACKED EAST-NORTHEASTWARD SOUTH OF DIEGO
GARCIA OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED UPON
181730Z0 ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, AND THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED UPON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30
KNOTS. ALTHOUGH THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT
USING INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, THE AVAILABLE IMAGERY DOES
INDICATE THE SYSTEM IS STILL UNDERGOING MODERATE VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29S IS FORECAST TO TRACK SLOWLY TO THE EAST
IN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR SHOULD
PROHIBIT IT FROM STRENGTHENING OVER THE FORECAST PERIOD. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 29S IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE OVER WATER BY THE 36 HOUR

THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN
WEST GU). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF
REGENERATION. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 28S (ELAINE) WARNINGS
