WARNING 33/FINAL ISSUED AT 31/09UTC. CLICK ON THE IMAGERY BELOW TO GET IT ANIMATED AND ENLARGED.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 06S (ANGGREK), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1767 NM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED EAST- SOUTHEASTWARD AT 35 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS A RAPIDLY DETERIORATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC), WHICH IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY ELONGATED. THE CIRCULATION IS DEVOID OF ANY SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION AT THIS POINT, WHICH IS DRIVING SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE DVORAK-BASED INTENSITY ESTIMATES DOWN TO THE 35 KNOT RANGE. HOWEVER, A SERIES OF SAR AND ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION ASCAT PASSES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE WIND FIELD REMAINS SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER THAN THE SATELLITE ESTIMATES WOULD SUGGEST. SO, WHILE STILL WEAKENING, THE SYSTEM REMAINS A STRONG TYPHOON STRENGTH SYSTEM. PHASE SPACE DIAGRAMS AND JTWC PHASE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE SYSTEM IS ALREADY MAKING THE TRANSITION TO AN EXTRA-TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND IT IS EXPECTED TO COMPLETE THIS ETT PROCESS WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS THE SYSTEM RACES SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE TIGHT GRADIENT BETWEEN A ROBUST UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH TO THE SOUTHWEST AND A STRONG STR TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI. THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE AT 310600Z IS 983 MB. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 310600Z IS 40 FEET.

FORECAST REASONING. SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THIS INITIAL PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE ESTABLISHES THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TC 09S IS FORECAST TO BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY THROUGH TAU 48 AS COMPETING STEERING MECHANISMS INFLUENCE INITIAL TRACK MOTION. FOLLOWING TAU 48, TC 09S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH TAU 120 AS THE EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE TROUGH WITHIN THE MID-LATITUDE LONGWAVE PATTERN PROGRESSES EASTWARD. AS ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS REMAIN FAVORABLE THROUGH TAU 48, THE TROPICAL CYCLONE IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY TO NEAR 50 KTS AND MAINTAIN INTENSITY INTO THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO COMPETING FAVORABLE TRACK SPEEDS WITH A GRADUAL DECAY IN ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES.
Model Diagnostic Plot
MODEL DISCUSSION: GLOBAL NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT TC 09S WILL TRACK GENERALLY QUASI-STATIONARY THROUGH TAU 48 AS COMPETING STEERING MECHANISMS SLOW THE GENERAL TO THE SOUTHEAST. THE JTWC TRACK CONSENSUS AT TAU 72 DISPLAYS A CROSS-TRACK SPREAD OF 75NM LENDING MEDIUM CONFIDENCE TO THE TAU 0-72 INTERVAL, WHILE THE ALONG-TRACK SPREAD IS 218NM, CONVEYING LOW-CONFIDENCE IN TRACK SPEED DURING THE 0-72 TAU INTERVAL. THE GREATEST UNCERTAINTY AMONG THE JTWC INTENSITY CONSENSUS MEMBERS PRESENTS ITSELF AT TAU 72, WITH A 20 KTS SPREAD, CONVEYING MEDIUM CONFIDENCE AT TAU 72. HOWEVER, BY TAU 108, INTENSITY CONSENSUS MEMBERS CONVERGE TO A SPREAD OF JUST 5 KTS.

Last Updated - 01/30/24 3 WEEK TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT PROBABILITY
Last Updated - 01/30/24 Valid - 02/07/24 - 02/20/24 A strong MJO event continues as the RMM-index moved into phase 7 (Western Pacific). Dynamical model solutions diverge more this week, but still generally portray a weakening signal in the near future as the MJO is favored to encounter competing interference with other modes of tropical variability. Enhanced convection associated with MJO activity and a westerly wind burst (WWB) is expected to provide favorable conditions for Tropical Cyclone (TC) development over the South Pacific Ocean throughout the coming forecast period. Strong subtropical westerly flow over the North Pacific is forecast both near the surface and aloft, potentially leading to an atmospheric river event to affect the West Coast of the U.S. during the week-2 period. No new TCs formed in the last week. There is more model spread in the near-term relative to last week’s forecast, but the general picture favors the MJO entering a period of increased constructive interference with the atmospheric response to El Nino forcing, during which model solutions favor the RMM index remaining in phase 7. Forecast velocity potential anomalies indicate a more progressive picture, with enhanced divergence moving out of the Coral Sea by week-3. Models also depict with much higher agreement the emergence of a strong WWB over the Western Pacific, favored to last into week-3. Such a wind burst would ease wind shear and favor TC development over the South Pacific. TC genesis probabilities are enhanced throughout the South Pacific and much of the Australian region for the entire forecast period. During week-2 probabilities of TC genesis exceed 60% for much of the Coral Sea and Vanuatu region, with moderate chances (>40%) extending westward to the Gulf of Carpentaria. A similar area is highlighted for the week-3 period, with lower probabilities overall; a moderate chance of TC genesis is posted for Vanuatu and eastward to American Samoa, while a slight chance (>20%) extends westward to the Gulf of Carpentaria.
