ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A WELL-DEFINED AND
PARTIALLY-EXPOSED
LLCC WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION DISPLACED TO THE
SOUTHEAST. RECENT ANIMATED TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY SHOWS A
CONSOLIDATED SYSTEM WITH
COOL DRY AIR WRAPPING INTO THE SYSTEM FROM
THE NORTH. A 312102Z PARTIAL ASCAT PASS REVEALS 45 TO 50 KNOT WINDS
IN THE WESTERN PERIPHERIES. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE
SYSTEM IS SOUTH OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET AND NORTH OF POLAR JET WITH
AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER THE LLCC IN A STRONG (30+ KNOTS) VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. BASED ON THIS DATA,
THIS SYSTEM IS
CLASSIFIED AS SUBTROPICAL. De momento Fiji no dice nada. Me apuesto un sugus de piña a que lleva a cabo la transición de aquí a 2-3 días, y tenemos al 22º sistema de la temporada en el hemisferio sur.
