SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 062351Z JAN 01//
REF/A/RMG/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/052351Z JAN 01//
AMPN/REF IS TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS22 PGTW 060000)//
RMKS/
1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT LOUIS
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 11.1S3 78.7E2 TO 11.9S1 74.2E3
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 062330Z4 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 11.2S4 77.7E1. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS.
3. REMARKS:
THIS SUPERSEDES REF A.
ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY CONTINUES TO DEPICT A REGION OF
PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 061727Z3 TROPICAL RAINFALL
MEASURING MISSION (TRMM) PASS REVEALED A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LLCC
EAST OF THE DEEP CONVECTION. 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE
SYSTEM REMAINS EQUATORWARD OF THE UPPER RIDGE. HOWEVER, THE
SYSTEM IS TRACKING TOWARD THE RIDGE AXIS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS
ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS
REMAINS GOOD.
4. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
080000Z8.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S HAS DEVELOPED APPROXIMATELY 283 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA OVER THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN. TROPICAL
CYCLONE (TC) 05S HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS DURING
THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 071730Z8 INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. A 071614Z9 SPECIAL
SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) PASS DEPICTED A CONVECTIVE BANDING
FEATURE DEVELOPING NEAR THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A
RECENT QUIKSCAT PASS ALSO INDICATED THE POSSIBILITY OF MULTIPLE
LLCCS ALONG THE NEAR EQUATORIAL TROUGH WITHIN THE AREA. TC 05S IS
FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD WITHIN THE STEERING FLOW OF A
WEAKENING MID-LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING ALONG 30.0S3. THE SYSTEM SHOULD
INTENSIFY AT A NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AS IT TRACKS JUST
EQUATORWARD OF THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 071800Z6 IS 10 FEET. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS

IMPROVING OUTFLOW OVER THE SYSTEM. TC 05S IS FORECAST TO TRACK
GENERALLY SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING FLOW OF THE MID-LEVEL
RIDGE SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM THROUGH THE 36-HOUR POINT. AFTERWARDS
TC 05S SHOULD TRACK INCREASINGLY WESTWARD AS THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE
STRENGTHENS SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM SHOULD INTENSIFY AT A

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S, LOCATED SOUTH OF DIEGO GARCIA IN THE
SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN, HAS REMAINED QUASI-STATIONARY DURING THE PAST
6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 100530Z9 VISIBLE AND
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 77 KNOTS. ANIMATED
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED OVER THE PAST

FEATURE EVIDENT IN THE CLOUD PATTERN ANY LONGER. A MID TO UPPER-
LEVEL RIDGE HAS WEAKENED THE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE, AND THE SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO DRIFT IN WEAK STEERING FLOW. TC 05S IS FORECAST TO
TRACK WESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUB-TROPICAL
RIDGE TO THE SOUTH AS IT BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24
HOURS. THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO DIP SOUTHWARD AFTER THE 24 HOUR
TIMEFRAME AS AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH BEGINS TO WEAKEN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN SLOWLY IN A
MARGINAL UPPER-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. MAXIMUM

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 550 NM NORTHEAST OF
PORT MATHURIN, RODRIGUES ISLAND, IN THE SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN, HAS
TRACKED SLOWLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6
HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 101730Z2 INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 AND 65 KNOTS. A 101610Z9 SPECIAL SENSOR
MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) PASS DEPICTED A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER WITH ASSOCIATED DEEP CONVECTION DISPLACED OVER
THE NORTHERN QUADRANT. IMAGERY ALSO SHOWED THAT THE SOUTHERN
QUADRANT WAS VIRTUALLY CONVECTION FREE. 200 MB ANAL REVEALS MODERATE
UPPER EAST-SOUTHEASTERLIES OVER THE REGION. TC 05S IS TRACKING
WITHIN A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. SLIGHT INTENSIFICATION
IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS NEAR THE
UPPER RIDGE AXIS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 101800Z0 IS 20
FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 110900Z1 (DTG 110751Z5) AND 112100Z5 (DTG

132100Z7 POSITION NEAR 19.5S5 68.5E9.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 300 NM EAST OF PORT
MATHURIN, RODRIGUES ISLAND, IN THE SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN, HAS
TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AT 02 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 131730Z5 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 90 KNOTS. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES THAT TC 05S HAS MAINTAINED INTENSITY OVER THE PAST 12
HOURS, AS WELL AS ITS RAGGED EYE. A SLOT OF DRY AIR APPEARS TO BE
WRAPPING INTO THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM. UW-CIMSS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
PRODUCT INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS UNDER MODERATE VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR. AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM IS ENHANCING
THE UPPER-LEVEL FLOW, AS WELL AS SUBSIDING DRY AIR INTO THE INFLOW
OF THE SYSTEM. TC 05S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER
THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE BUILDING IN SOUTH
OF THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN INITIALLY, THEN
MAINTAIN INTENSITY UNDER A MARGINAL UPPER-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 131800Z3 IS 20 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
140900Z4 (DTG 140751Z8) AND 142100Z8 (DTG 141951Z1).//

TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWEST AT 09 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 151730Z7 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY.
THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 45 KNOTS. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT TC
05S HAS MAINTAINED INTENSITY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. IMAGERY
INDICATES THAT THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) IS ON THE
NORTHEASTERN EDGE OF THE DEEP CONVECTION. A 151740Z8 SPECIAL SENSOR
MICROWAVE IMAGER PASS DEPICTS A PARTIALLY-EXPOSED LLCC WITH
CONVECTION ELONGATED SOUTHEASTWARD. A 151305Z5 QUIKSCAT
SCATTEROMETER PASS SHOWS AN EXTENSIVE AREA OF CONVERGENT FLOW AND
GALE FORCE WINDS SOUTH OF THE LLCC, EQUATORWARD OF A HIGH SITUATED
NEAR 37S0 65E1. THE UW-CIMSS ANALYSIS INDICATES MODERATE TO STRONG
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 05S IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD TO
SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AS IT MOVES INTO A WEAKNESS IN THE LOW TO MID-
LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CREATED BY AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE
TROUGH. BASED ON QUIKSCAT AND MICROWAVE IMAGERY, THE SYSTEM APPEARS
TO BE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION, AND IS ALSO
FORECAST TO WEAKEN UNDER INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 05S IS
