1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
150 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 7.6S3 179.9E6 TO 10.2S3 175.5W8
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 30 TO 35 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT
241800Z5 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 8.0S8
179.6W3. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 09 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 9.4S3
179.0W7 IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 8.0S8 179.6W3, APPROXIMATELY 525 NM
NORTHWEST OF WESTERN SAMOA. ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS INCREASING CONVECTION OVER A WELL DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCU-
LATION CENTER (LLCC) INDICATED IN A 241752Z1 QUIKSCAT PASS. UPPER
LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND
GOOD DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. MAXIMUM SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 30
TO 35 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 1000 MB.
THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS NOW UPGRADED TO GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
252100Z0.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 490 NM NORTHWEST
OF WESTERN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST 06 HOURS. TC 20P IS FORECAST TO TRACK EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY
ABOVE THE CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AS IT HAS DUAL OUTFLOW CHANNELS AND
REMAINS IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 250000Z7 IS 12 FEET. THIS WARNING

REMARKS:
251500Z3 POSITION NEAR 9.1S0 175.9W2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 385 NM NORTHWEST OF
WESTERN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 12 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST 06 HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED WATER VAPOR AND MICROWAVE
IMAGERY REVEALS A VERY SYMMETRIC SYSTEM WITH A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE
IN THE CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. TC 20P
IS FORECAST TO REMAIN ON A SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK THROUGH TAU 36, THEN
SHIFT MORE POLEWARD THROUGH TAU 72. THE INTENSITY OF TC 20P IS EXPEC-
TED TO STRENGTHEN STEADILY UNTIL TAU 48, THEN INCREASED VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AND LESS FAVORABLE OUTFLOW WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 251200Z0 IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS

REMARKS:
252100Z0 POSITION NEAR 9.0S9 174.3W5.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P (PERCY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 330
NM NORTHWEST OF WESTERN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD
AT 13 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. RECENT ENHANCED INFRARED
IMAGERY INDICATES A SMALL, RAGGED EYE. A 251745Z4 TRMM IMAGE
REVEALS THAT TC 20P HAS NEARLY DOUBLED IN SIZE OVER THE PAST
12 HOURS. TC 20P IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH
TAU 36, BEFORE SHIFTING TO A MORE POLEWARD TRACK LATER IN THE
FORECAST PERIOD. THE CYCLONE IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTENSIFY-
ING THROUGH TAU 36, AT WHICH TIME INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
AND LESS FAVORABLE OUTFLOW WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 251800Z6 IS 23 FEET. NEXT

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P (PERCY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 220 NM
NORTH-NORTHWEST OF WESTERN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD
AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. A 260614Z9 SSM/I IMAGE IN-
DICATES THAT INTENSITY HAS REMAINED STEADY AND THE EYE FEATURE
IS CURRENTLY MASKED. TC 20P IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD
ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE THROUGH
TAU 36. THE TRACK IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT POLEWARD LATE IN THE FORE-
CAST AS THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE EAST BECOMES THE DOMINANT
STEERING FEATURE. THE CYCLONE IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTEN-
SIFYING THROUGH TAU 36 WITH INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND
LESS FAVORABLE OUTFLOW WEAKENING THE SYSTEM AFTER TAU 48.

REMARKS:
261500Z4 POSITION NEAR 10.4S5 170.9W7.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P (PERCY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 195 NM
NORTH OF WESTERN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 14 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST 06 HOURS. ENHANCED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT
INTENSITY HAS REMAINED STEADY OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. TC 20P
IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY
OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE THROUGH TAU 24. AFTERWARDS, THE
TRACK IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT POLEWARD AS THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO
THE EAST BECOMES THE DOMINANT STEERING FEATURE. THE CYCLONE IS
FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING THROUGH TAU 36 WITH INCREASED
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND LESS FAVORABLE OUTFLOW WEAKENING THE
SYSTEM AFTER TAU 48. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 261200Z1
IS 33 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 270300Z2 AND 271500Z5.//

REMARKS:
271500Z5 POSITION NEAR 11.1S3 167.5W9.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P (PERCY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260
NM NORTHEAST OF PAGO PAGO, HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 10 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. RECENT TRMM IMAGERY REVEALS A WELL
DEFINED EYEWALL AND A 6 NM EYE FEATURE. TC 20P IS FORECAST
TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS ALONG THE SOUTHERN
PERIPHERY OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE. EARLY IN THE FORECAST
PERIOD THE TRACK IS FORECAST TO SHIFT POLEWARD AS THE MID-LEVEL
RIDGE TO THE EAST BECOMES THE DOMINANT STEERING FEATURE. TC 20P
IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS IN A FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT; INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND INTERACTION WITH
A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH WILL WEAKEN THE SYSTEM LATE IN THE FORECAST
PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 271200Z2 IS 44 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 272100Z2, 280300Z3, 280900Z9 AND 281500Z6.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P (PERCY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 290 NM
NORTHEAST OF PAGO PAGO, AMERICAN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTH-
EASTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. RECENT ENHANCED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS THAT THE EYE HAS BECOME CLOUD-
FILLED. TC 20P IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD FOR THE NEXT 12
HOURS AS THE DOMINANT STEERING FLOW SHIFTS FROM THE SOUTHERN PERI-
PHERY OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE BUILDING MID-LEVEL RIDGE
TO THE EAST. TC 20P IS FORECAST TO TRACK POLEWARD ALONG THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING RIDGE, AND WILL TRANSITION TO A MORE
SOUTHEASTERLY TRACK LATE IN THE PERIOD AS THE CYCLONE INTERACTS
WITH AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. THE INTENISTY OF TC 20P
IS FORECAST TO REMAIN RELATIVELY CONSTANT OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND INTERACTION WITH THE APPROACHING
MID-LATITUDE TROUGH WILL WEAKEN THE SYSTEM LATE IN THE FORECAST

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P (PERCY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 350 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF PAGO PAGO, AMERICAN SAMOA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEAST-
WARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS AN INCREASE IN POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND AN
EXPANSION IN THE CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST. DURING THE NEXT 36 HOURS,
TC 20P IS FORECAST TO TRACK POLEWARD AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF
A STEERING RIDGE SITUATED TO THE EAST. BY TAU 48, AN APPROACHING
MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL WEAKEN THE RIDGE AND ALLOW TC 20P TO
TRACK MORE SOUTHEASTWARD. THE INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE SLIGHTLY AS OUTFLOW REMAINS FAVORABLE AND VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR IS LOW. ONCE THE TROUGH GETS CLOSER, INCREASED SHEAR AND LESS
OUTFLOW WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN TC 20P. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
