WARNING 9 ISSUED AT 19/09UTC.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: DESPITE SOME DRY AIR OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE, WHICH IS HINDERING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT, THE SYSTEM HAS STRENGTHENED NOTICEABLY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING, PRIMARILY IN THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE, WRAPPING INTO A COMPACT CORE, WITH A DEVELOPING EYE. A 190324Z MHS 89 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS A PARTIAL EYEWALL OVER THE NORTHERN QUADRANT WITH A WEAKER, FRAGMENTED EYEWALL OVER THE SOUTHERN QUADRANT. EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW IS ROBUST AS IS EVIDENT ON THE ANIMATED WATER VAPOR LOOP. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION FROM A BULLSEYE 190327Z ASCAT-B IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 60 KTS IS ASSESSED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE BASED ON AN AVERAGE OF THE SUBJECTIVE DVORAK ESTIMATES. CIMSS OBJECTIVE ESTIMATES ARE SLIGHTLY LOWER.
TC Warning Graphic
FORECAST REASONING. SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S IS TRACKING SLOWLY ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR AND IS FORECASTED TO TURN SLOWLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AS THE STR REORIENTS AFTER TAU 24. AFTER TAU 72, THE STEERING ENVIRONMENT BECOMES COMPLEX WITH RIDGING SURROUNDING THE SYSTEM, CAUSING A VERY SLOW, ERRATIC TRACK IN THE LATER TAUS. TC 06S WILL MAINTAIN INTENSITY AT 60 KNOTS THROUGH TAU 12 THEN WEAKEN STEADILY THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO AN INCREASE IN DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT.
Model Diagnostic Plot
MODEL DISCUSSION: NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH TAU 72 WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. HOWEVER, AFTER TAU 72 BOTH THE ENSEMBLE MODELS (GEFS AND EPS) AND DETERMINISTIC TRACKERS INDICATE HIGH UNCERTAINTY WITH ERRATIC QUASI-STATIONARY TRACKS. THE JTWC INTENSITY FORECAST IS SUPPORTED BY THE HAFS-A AND COAMPS-TC (GFS VERSION) GUIDANCE.
SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN: TC 05S(BELAL). CURRENT ESTIMATED INTENSITY IS 30 KNOTS AT 19/06UTC. PEAK INTENSITY WAS 90 KNOTS/CAT 2 US.

WARNING 14/FINAL WAS ISSUED AT 19/03UTC.
REMARKS: 190300Z POSITION NEAR 23.4S 64.3E. 19JAN24. TROPICAL CYCLONE 05S (BELAL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 450 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. OVER THE PREVIOUS 12 HOURS, TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S HAS UNDERGONE SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING AND EROSION AS THE MAIN CONVECTION WAS SHEARED 150+ NM FROM AND FULLY EXPOSING THE LLCC, AS OBSERVED ON ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY, RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONVECTIVE SUPPORT THROUGH STRONG (25-30KT) RELATIVE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT WRAPPING INTO THE CIRCULATION CENTER. THE UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST, RESULTING IN DISSIPATION BY TAU 12 OR SOONER. 2. 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. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 190000Z IS 17 FEET.
SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN/CORAL SEA: INVEST 90P. ADVISORY(ABPW) ISSUED AT 19/06UTC.
THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90P) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 14.5S 154.8E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 14.2S 157.0E, APPROXIMATELY 675 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 190344Z ATMS 88.2GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICT A PARTIALLY EXPOSED, CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH FORMATIVE BANDING BEGINNING TO WRAP INTO THE CENTER. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT 90P IS IN A MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH GOOD POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW ALOFT, MODERATE TO HIGH (20-25 KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND WARM (29-30 C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT 90P WILL TRACK SLOWLY SOUTHWESTWARD AS IT GRADUALLY DEVELOPS OVER THE NEXT 24-48 HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 999 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.
GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT 90P WILL TRACK SLOWLY SOUTHWESTWARD AS IT GRADUALLY DEVELOPS OVER THE NEXT 24-48 HOURS.
