REMARKS:
132100Z POSITION NEAR 27.4S 173.0E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 18P (LUSI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 476 NM
SOUTHEAST OF NOUMEA, NEW CALEDONIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 15 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS GROSSLY ELONGATED AS THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) BECAME EXPOSED AND THE CONVECTION
SIGNIFICANTLY SHEARED SOUTHWARD OF THE LLCC. COLD DRY AIR INTRUSION
IS ALSO EVIDENT ALONG THE WESTERN FLANK - AN INDICATION OF IMMERSION
INTO THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE ABOVE
ANIMATION AND ON RECENT MICROWAVE SATELLITE PASSES WITH HIGH
CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE DVORAK
ESTIMATE FROM PGTW TO REFLECT THE DELAYED WEAKENING TYPICAL OF
EXTRA-TROPICAL CYCLONES. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES TC 18P IS NOW
EMBEDDED IN THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES IN AN AREA OF HIGH (40-50
KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE AVAILABLE DATA, INCLUDING A 131000Z
AMSU-B RADIAL/HEIGHT CROSS SECTION FROM CIRA, INDICATE THE SYSTEM IS
NOW A BONA FIDE COLD-CORE LOW. THE AVAILABLE NUMERIC GUIDANCE REMAINS
IN TIGHT AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC TRACK
FORECAST. 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.  //
