CPAC: Tropical Storm OMEKA

#1 Postby Hurricanehink » Sat Dec 18, 2010 8:46 am

From CPHC:

A subtropical low located near the international dateline about 340 miles south southwest of Midway atoll is moving toward the south southwest at about 10 mph. A large area of showers and thunderstorms continues to increase in coverage and intensity near the center of this system. Winds of gale force are located far north of the center of this low. There is a low chance, 10 percent, of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. For additional information on this low, see the high seas forecast issued for the north Pacific ocean by the National Weather Service forecast office in Honolulu, Hawaii under AWIPS header hsfnp, or WMO header fzpn40 PHFO.

It doesn't have much time in the CPAC since it's moving to the south-southwest, but it's a fun little system before the season ends. Funny how it looks better than what has been in the CPAC all season.

No doubt looks to be a small TC. Pretty amazing for this time of year in the CPAC.

I think it is a full blown tropical cyclone with an eye and eyewall. It is very small storm.

Impressive for being past mid-December. It has crossed the dateline ,so it will be a WPAC system from now on.

AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 22.6N 179.8E,
APPROXIMATELY 375 NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF MIDWAY ATOLL. ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A WELL DEVELOPED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH CENTRAL CONVECTION ALOFT, HOWEVER
FURTHER ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE SUBTROPICAL. A
RECENT AMSU CROSS-SECTION AND 200 MB ANALYSIS DEPICT A COLD-CORE CUT
OFF LOW ALOFT WITH A COLD-CORE ANOMALY EXTENDING UP TO 10 KM. THE
CIMMS TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER PRODUCT SHOWS COLD, DRY, AIR BEING
ENTRAINED INTO THE SYSTEM FROM THE NORTHWEST. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY
ASSESSED AS SUBTROPICAL AND WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR POSSIBLE
TRANSITION INTO A TROPICAL SYSTEM. BASED ON THE ABOVE ASSESSMENT THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS POOR.

If this is not a tropical cyclone then Grace and Vince weren't either, very interesting system.
