SPAC: 02F - Post-Tropical

[jaguarjace]

Tropical Disturbance Summary For area Equator to 25S, 160E to 120W
ISSUED FROM RSMC NADI Oct 12/2207 UTC 2015 UTC.

TROPICAL DISTURBANCE 02F CENTRE [1005HPA] ANALYSED NEAR 9.8S 173.9E
AT 122100UTC SLOW MOVING. POSITION POOR BASED ON VIS MTSAT IMAGERY
AND PERIPHERAL SURFACE OBSERVATION.

CONVECTION REMAINS PERSISTENT IN THE LAST 12 HOURS. ORGANISATION
REMAINS POOR. SYSTEM LIES UNDER AN UPPER RIDGE IN A MODERATE SHEARED
ENVIRONMENT. CYCLONIC CIRCULATION EXTENDS TO 500 HPA. SST IS AROUND
29 DEGREES CELSIUS.

SOME GLOBAL MODELS HAVE PICKED UP THE SYSTEM AND SLOWLY MOVE IT
SOUTHWARDS WITH SLIGHT INTENSIFICATION.

POTENTIAL FOR THIS SYSTEM TO DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE IN THE
NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS IS LOW.

NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL DISTURBANCE ANALYSED OR FORECAST IN THE
AREA.

[jaguarjace]

AN AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST AREA 91P) HAS PERSISTED NEAR
10.3S 174.7E, APPROXIMATELY 475 NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF NADI, FIJI.
ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A WELL DEFINED BUT
ELONGATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH FORMATIVE BANDING
WRAPPING INTO A CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST FEATURE. A 122113Z ASCAT PASS
SHOWED AN ELONGATED LLCC WITH 25 TO 30 KNOT WINDS. UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS SHOWS A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
AND AN EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. HOWEVER, GLOBAL MODELS DO
NOT SHOW DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS
ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS MEDIUM.

[Yellow Evan]

Looks like a TC to me, ableit a weak one. IMO 02F is likely the start of a long SPAC season.

[wxman57]

Looks like it was sheared apart over the last 4-6 hours. Looked good on visible imagery last evening, but not anymore.

[1900hurricane]

Ha, after completely dropping it yesterday, JTWC is back up to medium. Looking much better for the time at least.

REMARKS:
152100Z POSITION NEAR 12.2S 177.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 02P (TWO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 362 NM NORTH OF
SUVA, FIJI, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD AT 02 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS
A PERSISTENT BALL OF DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A CONSOLIDATED
LLCC THAT HAS REMAINED RELATIVELY QUASI-STATIONARY (QS) OVER THE
PAST 12 HOURS. A 151604Z 91 GHZ SSMIS IMAGE FURTHER REVEALS THE
TIGHTLY WRAPPED, COMPACT NATURE OF THE SYSTEM WITH THE BULK OF DEEP
CONVECTION LOCATED IN THE WESTERN QUADRANTS. A 151309 RSCAT PASS
INDICATES 30-35 KNOT WINDS SURROUNDING THE SYSTEM CENTER WHILE
DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES REMAIN AT 2.0.
THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED IMAGERY WITH
GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE RSCAT IMAGE
AS WELL AS THE SATELLITE FIXES FROM PGTW AND KNES AND HEDGED ON THE
HIGHER END. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES AN ENVIRONMENT
CHARACTERIZED BY MODERATE (15-20 KTS) VWS OFFSET BY STRONG POLEWARD
OUTFLOW. TC 02P IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY MIGRATE TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER
NEXT 48 HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REACH A PEAK INTENSITY OF
45 KNOTS AS VWS IS FORECAST TO RELAX IN THE NEAR TERM. AFTER THAT TC
02P WILL THEN DISSIPATE OVER WATER AS IT ENCOUNTERS INCREASING VWS
ALONG TRACK. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT;
HOWEVER, DUE TO THE RECENT QS MOTION OF THE SYSTEM THERE IS
CURRENTLY LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 151800Z IS 8 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 160900Z AND
162100Z. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A, JOINT TYPHOON
