SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 230121ZDEC2004//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
125 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 8.0S8 87.7E2 TO 9.4S3 82.0E0
WITHIN THE NEXT 06 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 222330Z2 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 8.2S0 87.3E8. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 8.0S8
89.1E8 IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 8.2S0 87.3E8, APPROXIMATELY 615 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLAND IN THE SOUTHEAST INDIAN OCEAN.
ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS INCREASED CONSOLIDATION OF THE
DEEP CONVECTION AROUND A WELL ORGANIZED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES AN ENVIRONMENT OF LOW
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND FAVORABLE DIVERGENCE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. 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 240130Z0.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 650 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED
ON 250530Z5 MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING IN-
TENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF
77 KNOTS FROM ALL AGENCIES. RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND AN OVERALL
INCREASE IN DEEP CONVECTION AROUND THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER. DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS, TC 06S IS FORECAST TO TRACK
SOUTHWESTWARD AROUND THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE MID-
LATITUDE STEERING RIDGE. A TRANSIENT MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH
WILL SLIGHTLY WEAKEN THE RIDGE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WHICH
WILL ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO TRACK MORE POLEWARD. HOWEVER, AFTER
TAU 36, THE RIDGE IS FORECAST TO REBUILD AND CAUSE TC 06S TO
TRACK MORE WESTWARD. THE INTENSITY OF TC 06S WILL REMAIN REL-
ATIVELY CONSTANT AS NO SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR IS FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 250600Z3
IS 23 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 252100Z0 AND 260900Z7.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (CHAMBO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 640 NM
SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 251730Z8
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 90 KNOTS FROM ALL
AGENCIES. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW STRONG
POLEWARD OUTFLOW. TC 06S IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD AROUND
THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING RIDGE ANCHORED TO THE
SOUTHEAST. A SLIGHT WESTWARD TURN IS FORECAST AFTER TAU 36 AS THE
RIDGE BUILDS WESTWARD FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A MID-LATITUDE SHORT-
WAVE TROUGH. TC 06S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING OVER THE
NEXT 12 HOURS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT OF WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
AND STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW. A SLIGHT WEAKENING IS FORECAST AFTER TAU
24 AS THE OUTFLOW BEGINS TO DECREASE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 251800Z6 IS 27 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 260900Z7 AND 262100Z1.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (CHAMBO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 655 NM
SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
260530Z6 MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 90 AND 102 KNOTS.
RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY SHOWS A RAGGED EYE, AND ANIMATED ENHANCED
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS A STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. DURING
THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS, TC 06S IS FORECAST TO REMAIN ON A POLEWARD
TRACK AS A TRANSIENT MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH WEAKENS THE STEERING
RIDGE. BY TAU 36, THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO DRIFT MORE WESTWARD AS THE
RIDGE REGAINS STRENGTH. THE INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN
STEADY AS FAVORABLE OUTFLOW IS ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 260600Z4 IS 30
FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 262100Z1 AND 270900Z8.//

REMARKS:
262100Z1 POSITION NEAR 17.2S0 078.9E4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (CHAMBO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 670 NM
SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 07
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
261730Z9 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY
IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 90 AND 102 KNOTS.
ANIMATED ENHANCED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A STRONG
POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD, TC 06S IS
FORECAST TO REMAIN ON A POLEWARD TRACK AS A TRANSIENT MAJOR SHORTWAVE
TROUGH WEAKENS THE STEERING RIDGE. BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD,
THE SYSTEM WILL ENTER A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT IN THE COL AREA
BETWEEN TWO RIDGES. THE INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM WILL SLIGHTLY WEAKEN BY
THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD, AS SOME OF THE POLEWARD DIVERGENCE IS
EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE WITH THE PASSING OF THE MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 261800Z7 IS 33 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS
AT 270900Z8 AND 272100Z2.//

REMARKS:
270900Z8 POSITION NEAR 18.2S1 78.2E7.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (CHAMBO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 725 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
262330Z6 MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 90 AND 102 KNOTS.
RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS CONTINUED POLE-
WARD OUTFLOW, HOWEVER DEEP CONVECTION AROUND THE EYE HAS BECOME
WEAKER. DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS, TC 06S WILL REMAIN ON A GENERAL
SOUTHWEST TRACK AS IT CONTINUES TO MOVE POLEWARD. AFTER TAU 48, THE
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT WESTWARD AND TRACK INTO A SLIGHTLY
WEAKER STEERING ENVIRONMENT. THE INTENSITY WILL SLOWLY DECREASE DUE
TO INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FROM THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 270600Z5 IS 33 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 272100Z2 AND 280900Z9.//
