Tropical Cyclone IGGY | Tropical Cyclone FUNSO | HurricaneZone.net - Real-Time Hurricane Information Around the Globe™

A hurricane (or typhoon, or severe tropical cyclone), the strongest storm on Earth, is a cyclonic (rotary) storm that derives its energy from cloud formation and rainfall. This is unlike mid-latitude storms that derive their power from a temperature gradient. The strongest hurricanes release energy the equivalant of one 10-megaton nuclear bomb exploding every 20 minutes.

A hurricane begins as a tropical depression with a sustained wind speed of less than 39 mph (35 knots; 63 km/hr). As the system strengthens, it becomes a tropical storm with winds from 39 to 73 mph (35-63 knots; 63-118 km/hr). Tropical storms are named in the Atlantic, East, Central and Northwest Pacific, in the South Indian Ocean, and in the Arabian Sea. When the winds are sustained (based on a one-minute average) at 74 mph (64 knots; 119 km/hr), the storm becomes: In the Atlantic Ocean, East Pacific, Central Pacific (east of the International Dateline) and Southeast Pacific (east of 160°E) a Hurricane; in the Northwest Pacific (west of the International Dateline) a Typhoon; in the Southwest Pacific (west of 160°E) and Southeast Indian Ocean (east of 90°E) a Severe Tropical Cyclone; in the North Indian Ocean a Severe Cyclonic Storm; and in the Southwest Indian Ocean (west of 90°E) a Tropical Cyclone.

REMARKS:
290300Z POSITION NEAR 20.3S 111.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09S (IGGY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 195 NM 
NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAD TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD 
AT 02 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED AND 
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT TC 09S HAS COME OUT OF 
ANOTHER PHASE OF DIURNAL CONVECTIVE MAXIMUM AND THE RELATIVELY 
THINNER SPIRAL BANDS HAVE GIVEN WAY TO A NEW BURST OF CENTRAL 
CONVECTION THAT HAS TAKEN THE FORM OF A CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST. THE 
LATEST SERIES OF MICROWAVE IMAGES (282149Z AND 290000Z SSMIS) 91GHZ 
AND 37GHZ SLICES REVEAL THAT THE LOWER-LEVEL CIRCULATION AND UPPER-
LEVEL CIRCULATION ARE STILL TILTED TO THE WEST AS ALTITUDE 
INCREASES. THIS COULD ACCOUNT FOR THE SOMEWHAT FLAT INTENSITY TREND 
OVER THE PAST 24-36 HOURS. HOWEVER, THESE LATEST MICROWAVE IMAGES 
ALSO SHOW THAT DEEP CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO WRAP MORE INTO AND 
AROUND THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS 
INDICATES THE CONTINUED TREND OF DECREASING EASTERLY-NORTHEASTERLY 
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WITH CURRENT ESTIMATED VALES OF 10-15 KNOTS. THE 
CIMSS UPPER-LEVEL DIVERGENCE PRODUCT HINTS TOWARDS SOME NEGATIVE 
DIVERGENCE TO THE NORTH OF THE LLCC WITH MAXIMUM DIVERGENCE LOCATED 
TO THE SOUTH. HOWEVER, THE ANIMATED WATER VAPOR LOOP STILL SHOWS 
DECENT RADIAL OUTFLOW. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE SSMIS 
DATA AND AGREES WELL WITH THE APRF CENTER FIX LOCATION. THE CURRENT 
INTENSITY WAS SLIGHTLY INCREASED TO 65 KNOTS BASED ON A DVORAK 
ESTIMATE THAT WAS CENTRALLY LOCATED 12NM TO THE EAST OF THE 
ESTIMATED LLCC POSITION AND IN CONSIDERATION THAT THE SYSTEM IS 
NEARLY UNDER THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS. TC IGGY CONTINUES TO TRACK 
VERY SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARDS UNDER A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT. IN THE 
NEXT 12-24 HOURS THE SYSTEM SHOULD BEGIN TO COME UNDER THE STEERING 
INFLUENCE OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE THAT IS BUILDING OVER WESTERN 
AUSTRALIA. BY TAU 24, TC 09S SHOULD BE TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARDS AND 
CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY UNDER WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND WARM SEA 
SURFACE TEMPERATURES (27-28 DEGREES CELSIUS). BY TAU 72, TC 09S 
SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO DROP OFF 
AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR INCREASES AS A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH 
APPROACHES. THIS TROUGH SHOULD TAKE THE SYSTEM ON A MORE 
SOUTHEASTWARDS TRACK DURING THE EXTENDED 4-5 DAY FORECAST. AFTER 
ASSESSING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MODEL TRACKERS SINCE WARNINGS HAVE 
BEEN ISSUED ON TC 09S IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT THE NOGAPS AND 
GFDN MODELS HAVE PERFORMED THE POOREST AND THE ECMWF AND GFS HAVE 
PERFORMED THE BEST. THEREFORE, THIS FORECAST FAVORS THOSE MODEL'S 
SOLUTIONS AS IT LAYS IN BETWEEN THE TWO AND NEAR THE MODEL 
CONSENSUS. HOWEVER, TRACK SPEEDS ARE SLOWER THAN THE 
ECMWF/GFS/CONSENSUS AFTER TAU 48 TO ACCOUNT FOR THE FAST TRACK 
SPEEDS OF THE ECMWF/GFS WHICH ARE PULLING THE MODEL CONSENSUS ON A 
FAST BIAS DURING THIS TIME. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 
290000Z IS 26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 290900Z, 291500Z, 292100Z, AND 
300300Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 08S (FUNSO) WARNINGS (WTXS32 
PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.//

REMARKS:
282100Z POSITION NEAR 31.6S 44.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 08S (FUNSO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 640 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF MAPUTO, MOZAMBIQUE, HAD TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 17 
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY 
SHOWS A WEAKENING AND ELONGATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) 
WITH THE DEEPEST CONVECTION SHEARED APPROXIMATELY 130NM FROM THE 
CENTER. A 281749Z SSMIS 37GHZ IMAGE INDICATES A COMPLETE EROSION OF 
CONVECTION OVER THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE AND THE 91GHZ IMAGE 
INDICATES THE STRONGEST CONVECTION IS CONCENTRATED WELL TO THE SOUTH 
AND EAST OF THE LLCC AS THE FLOW ENTRAINS INTO THE UPPER-LEVEL 
WESTERLIES. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE PGTW AND KNES 
CENTER FIXES AND THE SSMIS IMAGE WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. THE CURRENT 
INTENSITY IS BASED ON A DVORAK ESTIMATE OF 35 KNOTS FROM KNES. 
RECENT UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS THE LLCC TO BE LOCATED 
APPROXIMATELY 05 DEGREES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF A POINT SOURCE OF 
DIFFLUENCE WITH TROUGHING TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST. TC 08S IS CURRENTLY 
UNDER VERY STRONG (40-50 KNOT) WESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND SEA 
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE AT AN UNFAVORABLE 24 DEGREES CELSIUS. 
RECENT AMSU CROSS SECTIONS SHOW AN INCREASING NEUTRAL WARM CORE 
ANOMALY IN THE UPPER-LEVELS AND AN INCREASING WARM CORE ANOMALY IN 
THE LOWER-LEVELS AS THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING EXTRA-
TROPICAL TRANSITION. TC FUNSO WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK VERY FAST INTO 
THE POLEWARD WESTERLY FLOW AND BE COMPLETELY EXTRA-TROPICAL IN 12 
HOURS. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON
WARNING CENTER (NAVMARFCSTCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONI-
TORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 
281800Z IS 22 FEET. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 09S (IGGY) WARNINGS 
(WTXS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.//
