WTXS21 PGTW 20020406 11:00z RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 180 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 10.9S0 101.3E5 TO 13.5S9 95.7E1 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 AT 060830Z7 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 11.1S3 101.1E3. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 10.5S6 100.9E0 IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 11.1S3 101.1E3, APPROXIMATELY 255 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS AN INCREASE IN ORGANIZATION OF THE DEEP CONVECTION NEAR THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH A DEVELOPING BAND IN THE SOUTHERN QUADRANT. THE 060000Z6 200 MB ANAL REVEALED THAT THE AREA IS UNDERNEATH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS AN APPROACHING MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO THE SOUTHWEST WHICH SHOULD ENHANCE POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. A RECENT QUIKSCAT PASS INDICATED 20 TO 25 KNOT WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LLCC. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 1005 MB. BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION AND MORE FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS NOW GOOD. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 071100Z9.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20020407 03:00z SUBJ: TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING REF/A/RMG/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/061051Z APR 02// AMPN/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// 1.
