1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
A 170 NM RADIUS OF 12.8S 161.7E 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 IMAGERY AT 211430Z INDICATES THAT A
CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 12.5S 162.0E. THE SYSTEM IS
MOVING NORTHEASTWARD AT 04 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 12.9S
161.4E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 12.5S 162.0E, APPROXIMATELY 225 NM
SOUTHEAST OF HONIARA, SOLOMON ISLANDS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED
AND WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATE PERSISTENT CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
OVER THE SOUTHERN SOLOMON ISLANDS. THIS LLCC HAS REMAINED NEARLY
QUASI-STATIONARY AND PRESSURE TRENDS FROM HONIARA INDICATED A 1 TO
2 MB DROP OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. A 211224Z TRMM MICROWAVE IMAGE
REVEALS IMPROVED CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC. UPPER
LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND FAVORABLE
OUTFLOW UNDER THE AXIS OF AN UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM
SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. GIVEN THE 24
HOUR PRESSURE TRENDS AT HONIARA, FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT,
AND IMPROVED BANDING FEATURES, 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 221700Z.//

REMARKS:
220300Z POSITION NEAR 11.9S 162.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02P (NONAME), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 205
NM SOUTHEAST OF HONIARA, SOLOMON ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED
EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 02 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. A
212101Z SSMI IMAGE INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM HAS CONTINUED
TO CONSOLIDATE RAPIDLY OVER THE PAST 06-12 HOURS WITH
DEEP CONVECTIVE CURVED BANDING. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THIS BANDING. ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY AND UPPER AIR ANALYSIS DEPICT VERY GOOD POLEWARD
OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG SUBTROPICAL WESTERLIES ENHANCED
BY A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH SITUATED OVER THE CORAL SEA. TC 02P IS
LOCATED WITHIN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND HAS BEEN
GENERALLY QUASI-STATIONARY OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. AS THE
SYSTEM STRENGTHENS IT IS FORECAST TO TRACK SLOWLY SOUTHWARD
UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE, WHICH WILL
STRENGTHEN EAST OF THE SYSTEM. AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN
FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES
AND CANCELS REF A, NAVPACMETOCCEN 211651Z NOV 06 TROPICAL CYCLONE
FORMATION ALERT (WTPS21 PGTW 211700). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 220000Z IS 13 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 221500Z AND

SOUTHEASTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THIS SOUTHERLY

REMARKS:
230300Z POSITION NEAR 12.8S 162.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02P (YANI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 255 NM
SOUTHEAST OF HONIARA, SOLOMON ISLANDS, HAS REMAINED QUASI-
STATIONARY OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED IN
A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN SUBTROPICAL RIDGES ANCHORED
TO THE WEST AND TO THE EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE RIDGE TO THE
EAST IS EXPECTED TO BUILD WESTWARD TO THE NORTH OF THE SYSTEM
WHILE AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER EASTERN
AUSTRALIA WEAKENS THE RIDGE TO THE WEST. THIS PROCESS SHOULD
ALLOW THE EASTERN RIDGE TO BECOME THE DOMINANT STEERING
INFLUENCE OVER TIME AND STEER THE SYSTEM IN A GENERALLY SOUTH-
WARD DIRECTION. THE TRACK FORECAST IS BASED ON THIS REASONING
AND A CONSENSUS OF ALL AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS WITH LESS EMPHASIS
ON THE MODELS DEPICTING ATYPICAL WESTWARD TRACKS. THE STORM IS
EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND VERY
GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THE SYSTEM COULD INTENSIFY MORE RAPIDLY
THAN FORECAST IF THE APPROACHING TROUGH SPURS DEVELOPMENT A MORE
VIGOROUS POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED. AN
ANTICIPATED INCREASE IN VERTICAL WIND SHEAR LATER IN THE FORE-
CAST PERIOD SHOULD ACT TO SLOW INTENSIFICATION TO A LESS THAN
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 230000Z
IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 231500Z AND 240300Z.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02P (YANI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 300 NM SOUTH-
EAST OF HONIARA, SOLOMON ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 05 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT MULTISPECTRAL AND INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY INDICATES THAT TC 02P HAS BEGUN TO BE INFLUENCED BY THE SUB-
TROPICAL RIDGING TO THE EAST OF THE SYSTEM. AN APPROACHING MID-

PHERY OF TC 02P, BUT WILL QUICKLY FILL AND MOVE EASTWARD KEEPING THE
SYSTEM FROM SPEEDING UP RAPIDLY. THE TRACK FORECAST IS BASED ON THIS
REASONING AND THE CONSENSUS OF ALL AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. AS TC 02P
CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTHWARD IT WILL KEEP TRACKING INTO A HIGHER VER-
TICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. INTENSIFICATION WILL REMAIN AT A LESS
THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE DUE TO THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE SYSTEM
COULD INTENSIFY MORE RAPIDLY THAN FORECAST IF THE APPROACHING TROUGH
CAUSES INCREASED POLEWARD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02P (YANI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 340 NM SOUTH-

03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL AND
MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEAL A DECREASE IN DEEP CONVECTION

GENERALLY SOUTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE ANCHORED EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE FORECAST CALLS FOR THE STORM
TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS UNDER THE COMPETING
INFLUENCES OF INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW.
AFTER TAU 24, THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AND FOLLOW THE LOW

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02P (YANI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF HONIARA, SOLOMON ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED SATEL-
LITE IMAGERY AND A 240906Z SSMI MICROWAVE PASS REVEAL THAT THE LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS BECOME SHEARED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM
THE CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM. OVER THE PAST SIX
HOURS MICROWAVE IMAGERY HAS INDICATED THAT THE LLCC HAS BEGUN TO
TRACK WESTWARD WITHIN THE LOW TO MID LEVEL SYNOPTIC FLOW. BASED ON
THIS SHEARING OF TC 02P, THE INTENSITY FORECAST HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE GREATER INFLUENCE BY SHEAR OVER THE PAST 12
HOURS. THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN TC 02P WITH
DISSIPATION EXPECTED AROUND TAU 36. THIS FORECAST IS BASED PRIMARILY
ON PERSISTENCE OF THE SYSTEM OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AS MODEL GUIDANCE
INDICATES A CONTINUED TRACK SOUTHWARD. IT APPEARS THAT THE MODELS ARE
STEERING THE SYSTEM AT A HIGHER LEVEL BASED ON GREATER VERTICAL EX-
TENT OF TC 02P THAN IS OBSERVED. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02P (YANI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 185 NM SOUTH-

AT 02 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL

LLCC, WHICH IS TRACKING SLOWLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOW-LEVEL
SOUTH-EASTERLY FLOW DIVERGING OUT OF AN ANTICYCLONE NORTHWEST OF NEW
ZEALAND. DUE TO HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IN THE REGION, CONSOLIDATION OF CON-
VECTION OVER THE LLCC IS NOT EXPECTED. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON
THISSYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN). THE
SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 250000Z IS 11 FEET.//
