Poof...

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 8.8N
132.9E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 9.0N 131.6E, APPROXIMATELY 210 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF KOROR, PALAU. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS A VERY BROAD AND DISORGANIZED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
WITH FLARING AND LIMITED CONVECTION ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY. A
190618Z 37GHZ SSMI IMAGE DEPICTS BROKEN CONVECTION ALONG THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY WHILE OVERALL REMAINING POORLY ORGANIZED. THE
LATEST ASCAT PASS (190041Z) SHOWS ELONGATED TROUGHING THROUGH THE
AREA WITH STRONGER (15 TO 20 KNOTS) GRADIENT INDUCED WINDS ALONG THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERIES AND WEAKER (05 TO 10 KNOTS) WESTERLY WINDS
ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS THE AREA
IS EQUATORWARD OF THE RIDGE AXIS WITH FAIR OUTFLOW AND LOW TO
MODERATE (10 TO 15 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS REMAINS LOW.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 9.0N
131.6E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 9.7N 129.8E, APPROXIMATELY 600 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A VERY BROAD AND DISORGANIZED LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH FLARING AND LIMITED CONVECTION ALONG
THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY. A 191657Z NOAA-19 COMPOSITE MICROWAVE IMAGE
ALSO REVEALS SHALLOW CONVECTIVE BANDING BROADLY WRAPPING INTO THE
ILL-DEFINED LLCC. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE DISTURBANCE IS
LOCATED IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW TO MODERATE (10 TO 20
KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB. DUE TO THE LACK OF
CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS LOW.

SUMMARY.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 1006 HPA AT 08N 129E WEST SLOWLY.

[euro6208]

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 7.1N 129.1E
IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 7.4N 129.3E, APPROXIMATELY 435 NM EAST OF
ZAMBOANGA, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS FORMATIVE DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE NORTHERN SEMI-
CIRCLE OF A SLOWLY DEVELOPING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A
201051Z SSMIS IMAGE INDICATES A DEFINED LLCC WITH CURVED BANDING
WRAPPING INTO THE CENTER. A 201304Z ASCAT IMAGE REVEALS A SYMMETRIC
CIRCULATION WITH 15 TO 20 KNOT WINDS, PRIMARILY LOCATED OVER THE
NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE. A 20/09Z SHIP REPORT, 120 NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST
OF CENTER, INDICATES SUSTAINED WEST-NORTHWESTERLY WINDS AT 15 KNOTS
WITH SLP NEAR 1006 MB. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE
DISTURBANCE IS LOCATED IN A MARGINALLY-FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH
LOW TO MODERATE (10 TO 20 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD
POLEWARD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT
15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR
1005 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 7.7N 129.3E
IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 8.6N 128.1E, APPROXIMATELY 370 NM EAST-NORTHEAST
OF ZAMBOANGA, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS A SLOWLY CONSOLIDATING, BROAD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) WITH FRAGMENTED DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE NORTHERN
SEMI-CIRCLE WRAPPING INTO THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT. A 210044Z METOP-A
IMAGE INDICATES WEAK, FRAGMENTED CONVECTIVE BANDING. HOWEVER, A
210045Z ASCAT IMAGE SHOWS A DEFINED CIRCULATION WITH 15 TO 20 KNOT
WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE AND ALSO OVER THE SOUTH QUADRANT
OF THE CIRCULATION. RECENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SUPPORT 20 TO 25
KNOT WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHEAST SURGE AND WEAKER WINDS NEAR
THE DISTURBANCE WITH SLP AS LOW AS 1006.8 MB. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR OFFSET BY GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. ADDITIONALLY, SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES IN THE AREA ARE CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. THE SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO SLOWLY CONSOLIDATE AS IT TRACKS WESTWARD TOWARD AND OVER
MINDANAO, HINDERED BY PROXIMITY TO LAND AND THE BROAD NATURE OF THE
LLCC. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL DEPRESSION 04W (FOUR) WARNING
NR 03//
RMKS//
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 04W (FOUR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 382 NM
SOUTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT
08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY (IR) SHOWS WEAKENING CONVECTION ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY
OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WHICH HAS STARTED TO
BECOME LESS DEFINED. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED UPON THE IR LOOP
AND RADAR ANIMATION FROM CEBU STATION, PHILIPPINES, WITH LOW
CONFIDENCE AS THE LLCC HAS STARTED TO OPEN UP. THE INITIAL INTENSITY
HAS BEEN DECREASED TO 25 KNOTS BASED UPON THE DECREASING STRUCTURE
SEEN IN THE IR LOOP ALONG WITH DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25
KNOTS FROM PGTW AND KNES. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM
IS SOUTH OF A RIDGE AXIS IN AN AREA OF LOW TO MODERATE (10-15 KNOT)
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND FAIR POLEWARD OUTFLOW. TD 04W IS CURRENTLY
TRACKING ALONG WITH THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW TOWARDS THE SOUTH CENTRAL
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS
PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TD 04W IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY TRACK WESTWARD WITH THE LOW-LEVEL
FLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, WEAKENING DUE TO THE
FRICTIONAL EFFECTS OF THE ISLANDS BEFORE DISSIPATING IN THE SULU SEA
AS THE SYSTEM BECOMES EXPOSED TO THE RELATIVELY DRIER NORTHEAST
MONSOON FLOW. THE AVAILABLE LIMITED NUMERIC GUIDANCE IS IN AGREEMENT
WITH A GENERAL WESTWARD TRACK BUT IS SLIGHTLY SPREAD DUE TO THE
WEAKENED STATE OF THE VORTEX. THEREFORE, LOW CONFIDENCE REMAINS IN
THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK.//

REMARKS:
222100Z POSITION NEAR 9.3N 124.6E.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 04W (FOUR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 225 NM
NORTHEAST OF ZAMBOANGA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. A COMPOSITE RADAR REFLECTIVITY
LOOP FROM CEBU AND HINATUAN (COURTESY OF DOST) INDICATES THE
ASSOCIATED CONVECTION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY SHALLOWED AND SHEARED
WESTWARD OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE INITIAL
POSITION, BASED ON THE LLCC, HAS BECOME MORE RAGGED AND ILL-DEFINED
SINCE IT DRAGGED ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIP OF MINDANAO. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY WAS DEDUCED FROM THE 221500Z PGTW DVORAK ESTIMATE AND
SUPPORTED BY THE 221800Z DVORAK ESTIMATE FROM RJTD. TD 04W IS
EXPECTED TO DRIFT SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE SULU SEA AND DISSIPATE BY
TAU 12 DUE TO FRICTIONAL AND MOISTURE-HINDERING EFFECTS OF THE
SOUTHERN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS IN ADDITION TO ITS EXPOSURE TO THE
RELATIVELY DRIER NORTHEAST MONSOON WINDS. NUMERIC MODELS ARE IN
OVERALL AGREEMENT WITH THIS ASSESSMENT. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON
THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI. THE SYSTEM
WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 221800Z IS 10 FEET.  //
