AN AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 93W) HAS PERSISTED NEAR
26.2N 142.2E, APPROXIMATELY 50 NM SOUTH OF CHICHI-JIMA, JAPAN.
ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A PARTIALLY-
EXPOSED, DEVELOPING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH LOW-
LEVEL CLOUD LINES WRAPPING INTO A DEFINED CENTER. A 130004Z METOP-A
89GHZ IMAGE SHOWS SHALLOW BANDING WRAPPING INTO A BROAD CENTER WITH
FORMATIVE DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE
LLCC. A 130003Z ASCAT PARTIAL IMAGE SHOWS A DEFINED CIRCULATION WITH
15 TO 20 KNOT GRADIENT WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY AND 10 TO
15 KNOTS ELSEWHERE. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM IWO-TO AND CHICHI-JIMA
INDICATE 10 TO 15 KNOT WINDS WITH SLP 1006MB TO 1007.5MB AND, MORE
SIGNIFICANTLY, A -3.4MB 24-HOUR PRESSURE FALL AT CHICHI-JIMA (-2MB
AT IWO-TO). OVERALL, THE UPPER-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT IS COMPLEX BUT
FAVORABLE WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH TO THE NORTH AIDING IN POLEWARD
OUTFLOW AND TWO UPPER-LEVEL LOWS (EAST AND WEST) ENHANCING OUTFLOW.
ADDITIONALLY, SST VALUES OF 29C ARE FAVORABLE FOR FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT. THE PRIMARY LIMITING FACTOR AT THIS TIME IS DRY AIR
PRESENT OVER THE NORTHWESTERN SEMI-CIRCLE AS DEPICTED IN THE TOTAL
PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY AND THE CHICHI-JIMA (RJAO) SOUNDING,
WHICH SHOWS A VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE ABOVE 500MB. DESPITE THE
SUBTROPICAL ORIGIN AND WEAK SUBTROPICAL INFLUENCES, THE SYSTEM
APPEARS TO BE MAINLY TROPICAL IN NATURE AND IS POSITIONED BETWEEN
TWO NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED SUBTROPICAL RIDGES. THE GLOBAL MODELS SHOW
A SLOW NORTHWARD TRACK WITH NO SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT, HOWEVER, THE
MODELS GENERALLY STRUGGLE WITH THESE HYBRID SYSTEMS. 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 MEDIUM. |
