REF/A/RMG/NAVPACMETOCCEN WEST GUAM/300912Z JAN 99//
AMPN/REF A IS HIGH WINDS AND SEAS WARNING FOR THE INDIAN OCEAN
(WWIO30
PGFW 310000.//
RMKS/
1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT LOUIS
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
200 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 14.7S2 94.5E8 TO 15.9S5 86.1E5
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 20 TO 25 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 300530Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 15.0S6 93.0E2.  THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS.
3. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHWEST OF SUMATRA HAS
PERSISTED FOR THE PAST 48 HOURS. VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE
ANIMATION INDICATE AN INCREASE IN ORGANIZATION AND CONVECTION.
300600Z9 SYNOPTIC DATA INDICATES A 1002 MB CENTER LOW PRESSURE AREA
EMBEDDED IN THE CONVECTION AND THE AREA IS IN BETWEEN TC 15S
(DAMIEN-BIRENDA) TO THE WEST AND THE NEAR EQUATORIAL CONVERGENCE
ZONE TO THE EAST. NOGAPS ANALYSIS, WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATE FAIR OUTFLOW ALOFT. THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FROM UWISC-CIMSS
SHOWS THE AREA TO BE IN WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR INCREASES TO THE WEST, HOWEVER, AND MAY HAMPER DEVELOPMENT IF
THE AREA FOLLOWS TC 15S (DAMIEN-BIRENDA). AS CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO
BE FAVORABLE, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 301030Z7 IS 12 FT.  SEE REF A FOR
ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS IN THE WAKE OF
TC 15S (DAMIEN-BIRENDA) IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES DEEP CONVECTION HAS GENERATED SOUTHWEST
OF THE MAIN LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER DURING THE PAST 06 HOURS.
UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW IS FAIR TO THE NORTHEAST, GOOD ELSEWHERE. THE
WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON 302330Z1 INFRARED
SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 KNOTS AUGMENTED BY A PARTIAL
301707Z8 SCATTEROMETER PASS. POSITION CONFIDENCE IS LOW DUE TO THE
POSSIBILITY OF MULTIPLE CIRCULATION CENTERS, BUT IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE AS SYSTEM ORGANIZES. THE WIND FIELD IS ASYMMETRICAL, WITH
STRONGEST WINDS IN THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE DUE TO TRANSLATIONAL
SPEED OF THE SYSTEM AND LOCATION OF THE DEEP CONVECTION. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 17S IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH 48 HOURS
UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH.
BETWEEN 48 AND 72 HOURS THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SLOW AS AN
APPROACHING MID-LEVEL TROUGH CREATES A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE. TC 17S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD IN A WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. WIND
RADII ARE EXTRAPOLATED FROM 301707Z8 SCATTEROMETER DATA. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT IS ESTIMATED AT 13 FEET. REFER TO WWIO30
PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES
AND CANCELS NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI 301021Z JAN 99 TROPICAL

TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 20 KNOTS IN THE WAKE OF
TC 15S (DAMIEN-BIRENDA) IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN. THE WARNING
POSITION AND INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE BASED ON 310530Z2 VISIBLE AND
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE INTENSITY
 ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS AUGMENTED BY 35 KNOT SHIP SYNOPTIC REPORTS.
 POSITION RELOCATION IS DUE TO THE INCREASED CONFIDENCE OF VISIBLE
 SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE SYSTEM HAS INCREASED ORGANIZATION, WITH
MULTIPLE BANDS SPIRALING INTO THE CENTER. UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW
 IS FAIR TO THE NORTHEAST, AND GOOD SOUTHWARD. THE WIND FIELD
 IS ASYMMETRICAL, WITH STRONGEST WINDS IN THE SOUTHERN
 SEMICIRCLE DUE TO TRANSLATIONAL SPEED OF THE SYSTEM, AND
 LOCATION OF THE DEEP CONVECTION. TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S
IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH 48 HOURS
 INTO A SLIGHT WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS
SOUTH. BETWEEN 48 AND 72 HOURS, THIS SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE ON A MORE WESTWARD COURSE AS
IT MOVES OUT OF THE WEAKNESS. TC 17S IS
 EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD IN A WEAK TO
 MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. MAXIMUM
 SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 310600Z IS 14 FEET. REFER

TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S (CHIKITA) HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 14 KNOTS
DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 011730Z2
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY ANALYSIS. THE WARNING INTENSITY (40
KNOTS) IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35
KNOTS AND EXTRAPOLATION FROM SHIP REPORTS TO THE SOUTH. OVER THE
PAST FEW HOURS, SATELLITE ANIMATION INDICATES TC 17S HAS BEGUN TO
SHOW SIGNS OF WEAKENING AS WINDSHEAR REMAINS MODERATE OVER THE AREA.
EARLIER VISIBLE IMAGERY AND RECENT SHIP REPORTS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
A FAIRLY LARGE AND ASYMMETRICAL WINDFIELD ON THE SOUTHERN HALF. TC
17S IS TRACKING WESTWARD UNDER THE DOMINATE STEERING FLOW OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. AS TC 17S CONTINUES TO GET SHEARED,
IT WILL COME UNDER THE PRIMARY STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOW-MID
LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. TC 17S IS THUS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO
TRACK WESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE LOW-MID LEVEL FLOW OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. MODERATE VERTICAL WINDSHEAR ACROSS
THE SYSTEM WILL INHIBIT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN THE

REMARKS:
020900Z1 POSITION NEAR 19.4S4   72.3E2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S (CHIKITA) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE WEST AT 13
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
020530Z0 INFRARED AND VISUAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING AND
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T2.0 (30 KNOTS). TC 17S
(CHIKITA) CONTINUES TO TRACK UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. THE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM HAS
FURTHER DECREASED, BUT THE NOTABLE LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD CONTINUES TO
MAINTAIN AT NEAR MINIMAL TROPICAL CYCLONE STRENGTH. THE SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING TOWARDS THE WEST WITH A SLIGHT WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD TURN AFTER THE 24 HOUR FORECAST POSITION. COOLER SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES, MIXING OF COLD AIR STRATUS, AND SLOWLY
INCREASING SHEAR ARE EXPECTED TO INHIBIT SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT OF
THE SYSTEM. SHORT PERIODS OF INCREASED CONVECTION ARE POSSIBLE,
HOWEVER. TC 17S (CHIKITA) IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY DECREASE INTENSITY
AND BEGIN DISSIPATING OVER WATER AFTER THE 24 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 020600Z IS 14 FEET. REFER TO
WWIO30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. NEXT WARNINGS AT
022100Z5 (DTG 021951Z8)AND 030900Z2 (DTG 030751Z6).

REMARKS:
022100Z5 POSITION NEAR 20.2S4 68.7E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S (CHIKITA) HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 16 KNOTS 
DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 021730Z3 
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY ANALYSIS. THE WARNING INTENSITY (40 
KNOTS) IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 
KNOTS AND EXTRAPOLATION FROM SHIP REPORTS TO THE SOUTH. SATELLITE 
ANIMATION INDICATES TC 17S HAS SHOWN A SLIGHT INCREASE IN CONVECTION 
OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS AS WINDSHEAR REMAINS MODERATE OVER THE AREA. 
SHIP REPORTS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A FAIRLY LARGE AND ASYMMETRICAL
WINDFIELD ON THE SOUTHERN HALF. PRIMARIILY DUE TO THE INCREASE IN
PRESSURE GRADIENT TO THE SOUTH. TC 17S IS TRACKING WESTWARD UNDER 
THE DOMINANT STEERING FLOW OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. AS 
TC 17S CONTINUES TO GET SHEARED, IT WILL COME UNDER THE PRIMARY 
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. TC 17S IS 
THUS FORECAST TO TRACK SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF WEST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF 
THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. MODERATE
VERTICAL WINDSHEAR ACROSS THE SYSTEM WILL INHIBIT FURTHER 
DEVELOPMENT AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN THE SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST 
PERIOD. ALTHOUGH WE ARE FORECASTING TC 17S TO WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE 
BELOW WARNING CRITERIA, A LARGE LOW-LEVEL WINDFIELD (20-30 KNOTS) 
SHOULD REMAIN INTACT AS IT APPROACHES THE MASCARENE ISLANDS. THE 
FORECAST 35 KNOT WIND RADII IS OMITTED AFTER THE INITIAL POSITION 
SINCE MAX WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE 35 KNOTS OR LESS. TC 17S IS 
FORECAST TO DISSIPATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE BY THE 48 
HOUR POSITION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 021800Z1 IS 14 
FEET. REFER TO WWIO31 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. 
NEXT WARNINGS AT 030900Z2 (DTG 030751Z6) AND 032100Z6 (DTG
