WTXS21 PGTW 20070213 21:30z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 132121Z FEB 07// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 160 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 12.5S 69.7E TO 17.1S 65.6E 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 IM- AGERY AT 132030Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 13.0S 69.4E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 12.5S 69.8E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 13.0S 69.4E, APPROXIMATELY 935 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE DISTURBANCE HAS CONTINUED TO ORGANIZE WITH DEEP CONVECTION CYCLING WITHIN THE DEVELOPING BANDS. RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY ALSO DEPICTS IMPROVED LOW-LEVEL STRUCTURE, SPECIFICALLY, THE 131310Z WINDSAT AND THE 131510Z SSMI IMAGES. A 131313Z QUIKSCAT IMAGE SHOWED A TIGHTLY- WRAPPED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH STRONG CONVERGENT FLOW EAST AND WEST OF THE CENTER SUPPORTING DEEP CONVECTIVE BURSTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATE AN IMPROVING, FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH POLEWARD OUTFLOW ENHANCED BY AN UPPER LOW POSITIONED SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. THE DISTURBANCE HAS CONTINUED TO CONSOLIDATE OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING, THEREFORE, THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD. 3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 142130Z.// ========================================================================= WTXS31 PGTW 20070214 15:00z MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC// SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING// REF/A/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/132121Z FEB 07// AMPN/REF A IS TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT// RMKS/ 1.

DESPITE SOME VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY REVEALS CONVECTION BUILDING OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER; CONVECTIVE BANDING IS ALSO FORMING OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE CIRCULATION AS LOW-LEVEL EQUATORIAL INFLOW HAS IMPROVED. THE CYCLONE WILL REMAIN ON THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A LARGE STEERING RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST. THEREFORE, THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ON A GENERAL SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO KEEP INTENSIFICATION BELOW A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 615 NM EAST- NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 14S REMAINS ON THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A LARGE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE TO THE SOUTH- EAST. THIS RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD WESTWARD TO THE SOUTH OF THE STORM DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD, INDUCING A GRADUAL WEST- WARD TURN IN THE STORM TRACK. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW TO THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM HAS INTRODUCED SIGNIFICANT SOUTHWESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ACROSS THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. THIS WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE SLOWLY AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW FILLS OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. DIMINISHING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, ABUNDANT MOISTURE EVIDENT IN RECENT TOTAL PRECIPITABLE DATA, AND SUFFICIENT SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO INTENSIFY. HOWEVER, VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH TO LIMIT INTENSIFICATION TO A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGI- CAL RATE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 150000Z IS 12 FEET.

TC 14S WILL WEAKEN AT A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH TAU 24 DUE TO RESTRICTED POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND ENTRAINMENT OF DRIER AIR.
