REMARKS:
022100Z POSITION NEAR 10.3S 160.0E.
02APR20. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 25P (HAROLD), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
694 NM NORTHWEST OF PORT VILA, VANUATU, HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 15
KNOTS (KTS) OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
(EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A CONSOLIDATING SYSTEM WITH
CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) THAT IS OBSCURED BY CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS
BASED ON THE TURNING OBSERVED IN EIR IMAGERY ALONG WITH A 021755Z
SSMIS 91 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE WHICH DEPICTS BANDING WRAPPING INTO
THE LLCC AND A REGION OF DEEP CONVECTION LOCATED WITHIN THE
WESTERN SEMICIRCLE. BASED ON THIS MICROWAVE IMAGE AND THE EIR,
THERE IS GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY OF 35 KTS IS PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MULTI-AGENCY
DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T2.0-3.0 (30-45 KTS) BASED
ON THE IMPROVING CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE OF TC 25P. ENVIRONMENTAL
ANALYSIS REVEALS NEAR-RADIAL UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW, LOW (5-10 KTS)
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), AND WARM (29-30 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES (SST). THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRACKING EASTWARD
UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A WEAK NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE
LOCATED TO THE NORTH. BY TAU 24, A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST
WILL BUILD IN AND TAKE OVER THE STEERING, TURNING THE SYSTEM
SOUTHWARD WHILE SLOWING THE SYSTEM SPEED. AROUND TAU 72, TC 25P
WILL BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES, CAUSING
THE SYSTEM TO ACCELERATE ALONG AN EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST, TC 25P IS
EXPECTED TO STEADILY INTENSIFY TO 85 KTS BY TAU 96, SUPPORTED BY
THE CONTINUED FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS
IN FAIR AGREEMENT, POSSIBLY DUE TO THE CURRENT WEAK STEERING
ENVIRONMENT. NAVGEM IS THE SOUTHERLY OUTLIER, TURNING TC 25P
POLEWARD BY TAU 12. CONVERSELY, THE UKMET AND UKMET ENSEMBLE
SOLUTIONS KEEP THE TRACK SLIGHTLY NORTH OF THE MODEL MAJORITY. DUE
TO THE SPREAD IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN
THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST WHICH IS PLACED SLIGHTLY NORTH OF THE
MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 021800Z
IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 030300Z, 030900Z, 031500Z AND
032100Z.
