Tropical Cyclone Celina
WTXS21 PGTW 20071212 22:30z
MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI//
SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
100 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 13.2S 70.6E TO 14.8S 67.1E
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 121800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 13.6S 70.1E.  THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04
KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 13.8S
69.4E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 13.6S 70.1E, APPROXIMATELY 405 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF DIEGO GARCIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL AND WATER VAPOR
SATELLITE IMAGERY ALONG WITH A 121714Z AMSUB MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICT
PERSISTENT CONVECTIVE BANDING CONSOLIDATING AROUND A LOW LEVEL CIRCU-
LATION CENTER (LLCC). UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS A TROUGH SOUTHWEST
OF THE SYSTEM PROVIDING GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW ALOFT. THE DISTURBANCE
IS CURRENTLY IN A REGION OF LOW TO MODERATE WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SUST-
AINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. DUE TO THE PERSISTENT
CONVECTION NEAR THE LLCC, AND THE FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT,
THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
132230Z.

130900Z POSITION NEAR 14.7S 68.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (NONAME) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 490 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. TC 06S HAS CONSOLIDATED OVER THE PAST
06 HOURS, REACHING AN INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS. THE CURRENT INTENSITY
IS BASED ON SATELLITE DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS FROM PGTW AND
KNES, 30 KNOTS FROM FMEE AND A 130107Z QUIKSCAT IMAGE SHOWING 40 KNOT
WINDS AROUND THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY TRACKING GENERALLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER COMPETING
STEERING INFLUENCES OF SUBTROPICAL RIDGING TO THE SOUTHEAST AND LOW
TO MID-LEVEL NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGING TO THE NORTH. THE AVAILABLE
DYNAMIC MODEL AIDS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH A WESTWARD TRACK,

REMARKS:
150300Z POSITION NEAR 15.1S 68.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (NONAME) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 850 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE STORM HAS BEGUN TO MOVE OUT
OF A COMPETING STEERING ENVIRONMENT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOW
TO MID-LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH SUBTROPICAL
RIDGING TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. STRONG UPPER LEVEL WINDS ON THE
PERIPHERY OF A SYNOPTIC-SCALE ANTICYCLONE ALOFT CONTINUE TO
HAMPER DEVELOPMENT, SHEARING THE MAJORITY OF DEEPEST CONVECTION
TO THE WEST OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. HOWEVER, DVORAK
T-NUMBERS OF 2.5/2.5 FROM PGTW AND FMEE SUGGEST THAT THE SYSTEM
HAS MAINTAINED A MINIMAL TROPICAL CYCLONE INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS
DESPITE LESS THAN FAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 06S WILL
TRACK GENERALLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD
AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE REMAINS THE DOMINANT STEERING INFLUENCE.
MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST, BUT STRONG
POLEWARD OUTFLOW AHEAD OF UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING TO THE SOUTHWEST
SHOULD ALLOW THE STORM TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY OR PERHAPS INTENSIFY
SLIGHTLY AS IT CONTINUES ALONG THE FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 150000Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
151500Z AND 160300Z.//

REMARKS:
151500Z POSITION NEAR 15.8S 67.1E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (NONAME) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 755 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE TC CONTINUED TO BE STEERED BY
THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH SUBTROPICAL
RIDGING TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. STRONG UPPER LEVEL WINDS ON THE
PERIPHERY OF A SYNOPTIC-SCALE ANTICYCLONE ALOFT CONTINUE TO
HAMPER DEVELOPMENT, SHEARING THE MAJORITY OF DEEPEST CONVECTION
TO THE WEST OF THE PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER.
DVORAK T-NUMBERS OF 2.0/2.0 FROM PGTW AND 2.5/2.5 FROM FMEE SUGGEST
THAT THE SYSTEM HAS MAINTAINED A MINIMAL TROPICAL CYCLONE INTENSITY
OF 35 KNOTS DESPITE LESS THAN FAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 06S
WILL TRACK GENERALLY SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE REMAINS THE DOMINANT STEERING INFLUENCE.
MODERATE TO STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST, BUT
STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW AHEAD OF UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING TO THE SOUTH-
WEST ALLOWING THE STORM TO MAINTAIN SOME INTENSITY BUT STILL BECOME
A TROPICAL DEPRESSION BY TAU 12. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
INTO UNFAVORABLE WATERS WITH MARGINAL OCEAN HEAT CONTENT (OHC) AND
DISSIPATE. THIS CHANGES THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY OF THE PREVIOUS
WARNING TO THAT OF A DISSIPATION OVER WATER SCENARIO DUE TO UNFAVOR-
ABLE VERTICAL SHEAR AND OHC. MOST OF THE DYNAMIC AIDS REFLECT THIS
CHANGE IN FORECAST REASONING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ECMWF. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 151200Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 160300Z
AND 161500Z.//

REMARKS:
160300Z POSITION NEAR 16.5S 65.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (NONAME) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 660 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT
08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. RECENT ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY REVEALS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) ALSO EVIDENT IN A 152103Z AMSR-E MICROWAVE SATELLITE PASS.
THE REMAINING DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH TC 06S HAS BEEN
DISPLACED TO THE WEST OF THE LLCC BY STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
INDUCED BY THE PERIPHERAL FLOW OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE ALOFT.
THE STORM CONTINUES TO TRACK GENERALLY SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGING TO THE SOUTH
OF THE SYSTEM. DVORAK T-NUMBERS OF 2.5/2.5 FROM BOTH PGTW AND FMEE
SUGGEST THAT MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS REMAIN NEAR 35 KNOTS.
HOWEVER, THE CONTINUED IMPACT OF UNFAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
AND LOW OCEAN HEAT CONTENT IS EXPECTED INDUCE A REDUCTION IN
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS TO BELOW THE 35 KNOT WARNING THRESHOLD BY
TAU 24. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 160000Z IS 12 FEET.

REMARKS:
161500Z POSITION NEAR 17.1S 64.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (NONAME) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 570 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT
08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. RECENT MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY REVEALS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) ALSO EVIDENT IN A 160916Z AMSR-E MICROWAVE SATELLITE PASS.
THE REMAINING DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH TC 06S HAS BEEN
DISPLACED TO THE WEST OF THE LLCC BY STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
INDUCED BY THE PERIPHERAL FLOW OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE ALOFT.
DESPITE THE STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR, GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW HAS ALLOWED
THE STORM TO MAINTAIN TC STRENGTH WITH DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF 2.5/2.5 FROM PGTW, KNES, AND FMEE. THE STORM CONTINUES TO TRACK
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL
RIDGING TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE OFFSETTING CONDITIONS
OF FAVORABLE POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND UNFAVORABLE STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR WILL
ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO MAINTAIN TC STRENGTH TILL TAU 24. AFTER TAU 24, A
DECREASE IN AVAILABLE OCEAN HEAT CONTENT AND THE STRONG VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR WILL OVER TAKE THE SYSTEM AND RESULT IN DISSIPATION OVER THE
WATER.
