WPAC: Ex-Severe Tropical Storm MALOU (1009/10W)

[StormingB81]

The first bands of Tropical Storm MALOU are about to some ashore of Okinawa. Looks like we dont here down in SOuthern Okinawa will feel about the same winds we felt Tuesday with Kompasu barring any rapid intesification which doesnt look like it.

[P.K.]

Of note the JMA still have Malou at T2.0 at 12Z.

[StormingB81]

Im just expectign rain and a couple of gusts thats all nothing big

[StormingB81]

I found out the internet provider I have has Blocked JTWC....WHich is nice when we trying to track a storm near here. Can anyone but the new Advisory up please.

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL STORM 10W WARNING NR 08//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 12 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
A. TROPICAL STORM (TS) 10W (MALOU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 130 NM
SOUTHEAST OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWEST-
WARD AT 20 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS MODERATE OUTFLOW ON THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT WITH
SUSTAINED DEEP CONVECTION THAT IS MOSTLY TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE SAME ANIMATION ALSO SHOWS A TUTT
CELL TO THE WEST THAT IS IMPINGING THE OUTFLOW ALONG THE WESTERN
FLANK OF THE SYSTEM. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY AND EXTRAPOLATED FROM A 031059Z SSMI-S
MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWING A DETACHED LLCC FROM THE MAIN CONVECTION.
CONFIDENCE IN THIS POSITION IS POOR. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS
AVERAGED FROM DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS FROM PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD.
THE RECENT STORM MOTION IS MORE WESTWARD THAN THE PREVIOUS TRACK
WHICH MAY BE AN INDICATION OF DIRECT CYCLONE INTERACTION (DCI) WITH A
DEVELOPING TROPICAL DISTURBANCE (TD) TO THE SOUTH.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THE INITIAL PORTION OF THE FORECAST IS NOW ON A MORE WEST-
WARD TRAJECTORY THAN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND THE EXTENDED FORECAST
IS MORE TO THE RIGHT. HOWEVER, THE FUNDAMENTAL PHILOSOPHY OF THE
TRACK AND INTENSITY FORECASTS REMAINS THE SAME.
B. TS 10W WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK GENERALLY NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE
SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ENTRENCHED JUST
SOUTH OF MAINLAND JAPAN THROUGH TAU 72. OVER THIS PERIOD, THE SYSTEM
WILL INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY, PEAKING AT 60 KTS. THE INITIAL STORM MOTION
MAY BE SLOWED DOWN SLIGHTLY DUE TO DCI MENTIONED IN PARA 2.A.
C. AFTER TAU 72, TS MALOU IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT INTO A WEAK
STEERING FLOW IN THE YELLOW SEA AS THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE RIDGE
BREAKS DOWN IN RESPONSE TO A PASSING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. IT WILL
THEN WEAKEN DUE TO THE COOLER WATERS OF THE NORTHERN YELLOW SEA AND
EXPOSURE TO WESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE
BAROCLINIC ZONE. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT UP TO
TAU 24 THEN OFFER VARIOUS SOLUTIONS. GFS IS LEFT OF THE MODEL
ENVELOPE AND DEPICTS A LOOPING MOTION AFTER TAU 24, PRESUMABLY DUE TO
A MERGER BETWEEN THE SYSTEM AND THE AFOREMENTIONED TD. DUE TO THE
WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT IN THE YELLOW SEA, THE MODELS DIVERGE
SIGNIFICANTLY. ECMWF OPTS FOR AN ACCELERATED RECURVE ACROSS THE
KOREAN PENINSULA, NOGAPS BRINGS THE SYSTEM STRAIGHT INTO CHINA, AND
WBAR OFFERS AN ABBREVIATED RECURVE TOWARDS THE KOREAN STRAIT.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, ERRATIC STORM MOTION AFTER TAU 72 IS A DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY.//

REMARKS:
032100Z POSITION NEAR 24.9N 127.2E.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 10W (MALOU). LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 115 NM
SOUTH OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 13 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES DEEP CONVECTION FLARING OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC), WHICH HAS FOLLOWED A MORE WESTWARD TRACK THEN
PREVIOUSLY FORECASTED. A 031415Z 85 GHZ TRMM MICROWAVE PASS AND A
031742Z 89 GHZ AMSU PASS CONFIRM A MORE WESTWARD TRACK AND SHOW
TIGHTLY CURVED LOW LEVEL BANDING WRAPPING INTO A WELL DEFINED LLLCC.
THERE IS FAIR CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION BASED ON THE
APPARENT LLCC IN THESE TWO MICROWAVE IMAGES. THE CURRENT INTENSITY
IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30 TO 35 KNOTS FROM PGTW,
RJTD, AND KNES. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
PREVIOUSLY HINDERING THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP CONVECTION AND
IMPINGING OUTFLOW ALONG THE WESTERN FLANK OF TS 10W, HAS MOVED
WESTWARD, ALLOWING CONVECTION TO REBUILD OVER THE LLCC. TS 10W IS
FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A
LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE STATIONED OVER JAPAN. AS AN
APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH WEAKENS THE RIDGE, TS 10W IS
EXPECTED TO SLOW AND INTENSIFY AS IT SKIRTS ALONG THE COAST OF
EASTERN CHINA. AFTER TAU 72, TS MALOU IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS IT
TRACKS INTO THE YELLOW SEA DUE TO THE IMPACT OF MID-LATITUDE
WESTERLIES HINDERING OUTFLOW AND COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES.
NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH TAU 24, BUT
BEGINS TO DIVERGE AFTER TAU 24 DUE TO A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT.
GFDN, GFS, AND NOGAPS INDICATE AN ERRATIC LOOPING PATTERN, EGRR AND
JGSM DRIVE THE SYSTEM NORTHWESTWARD INTO EASTERN CHINA, AND ECMWF
AND WBAR RECURVE THE SYSTEM WITH THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLY FLOW.
THIS FORECAST IS IN AGREEMENT WITH MODEL CONSENSUS THROUGH TAU 72,
BUT FAVORS A MORE POLEWARD TRACK AFTER TAU 72. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 031800Z IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 040300Z,
040900Z, 041500Z AND 042100Z.//

A special presentation will be made via Elluminate by Ralph Foster. The topic is on the use of SAR data in ITOP and it will begin at 2230 UTC 4 September, which is 30 min before the start of the usual daily planning meeting.

No ocean meeting is planned for 04 September.

Ship R/V Revelle in west Pacific on complementary cruise awaiting opportunities.

RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 12 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
A. TROPICAL STORM (TS) 10W (MALOU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 135 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD
AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY (MSI) AND A 032330Z SSMIS 91 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOW DEEP
CONVECTION ALONG THE SOUTHERN HALF OF A WELL DEFINED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH ADDITIONAL DEEP CONVECTION, POSSIBLY
ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE, 150 NM EAST OF TS 10W. THE
CURRENT POSITION IS BASED, WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE, ON ANIMATED MSI AND
THE AFOREMENTIONED SSMIS MICROWAVE PASS. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS
BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30 TO 35 FROM PGTW, KNES,
AND RJTD. THIS INTENSITY IS VERIFIED BY OBSERVATIONS NORTH OF THE
DEEP CONVECTION INDICATING 20 TO 30 KNOTS AND BAROMETER MEASUREMENTS
OF 997 MB AND 999 MB. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW, PREVIOUSLY IMPINGING
OUTFLOW ALONG THE WESTERN FLANK OF TS 10W, HAS MOVED OFF TO THE
SOUTHWEST ALLOWING THE DIFFLUENT REGION OF THE LOW TO ENHANCE OUTFLOW
OVER THE SYSTEM. THE RECENT STORM MOTION IS SLOWER AND MORE WESTWARD
THEN THE PREVIOUS TRACK WHICH MAY BE AN INDICATION OF DIRECT CYCLONE
INTERACTION (DCI) WITH THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED TROPICAL DISTURBANCE
EAST OF OKINAWA.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THE INITIAL PORTION OF THE FORECAST IS SLOWER AND MORE WESTWARD
THAN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST, HOWEVER THE FUNDAMENTAL PHILOSOPHY OF THE
TRACK AND INTENSITY FORECASTS REMAINS THE SAME.
B. TS 10W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A LOW TO
MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) ORIENTATED SOUTH OF MAINLAND JAPAN,
HOWEVER INTERACTION WITH A DEVELOPING TROPICAL DISTURBANCE EAST OF TS
10W HAS SLOWED ITS OVERALL SPEED OF ADVANCE. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED
TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AND CONTINUE TRACKING POLEWARD AS THE WESTERN
EXTENT OF THE STR BREAKS DOWN IN RESPONSE TO A PASSING MID-LATITUDE
TROUGH. HOWEVER, THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK DUE TO
POSSIBLE DCI WITH THE DEVELOPING TROPICAL DISTURBANCE TO THE EAST.
C. AFTER TAU 72, TS MALOU IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING
POLEWARD TO NORTHEASTWARD AND WEAKEN AS IT INTERACTS WITH THE
MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES AND TRACKS OVER COOLER SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTHERN YELLOW SEA. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS
IN POOR AGREEMENT AFTER TAU 24, IN RESPONSE TO A WEAK STEERING
ENVIRONMENT AND POOR HANDLING OF THE INTERACTION WITH THE DEVELOPING
TROPICAL DISTURBANCE EAST OF THE SYSTEM. GFS, EGRR, AND JGSM
TRACK THE SYSTEM WEST TO NORTHWESTWARD INTO EASTERN CHINA, WHILE
NOGAPS, WBAR, AND ECMWF SHOW A MORE POLEWARD TO NORTHEASTWARD TRACK.
THIS FORECAST IS SLOWER THAN MODEL CONSENSUS TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE
UNCERTAINTIES.//

Centre's clearly exposed in that loop, yet up to 40 kt from JMA? Hmm...

[Infdidoll]

Wonder what the heck is going on here, right now...getting some strong gusts, we're still several hours from sunset and it's dark as night out there. I thought the storm would have been long since past us?

[StormingB81]

Got a nice band coming through here nice storm with some serious gusts
