TROPICAL CYCLONE 27S (COURTNEY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 907 NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, HAS TRACKED WEST- SOUTHWESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A COMPLETELY EXPOSED, ELONGATED, LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH CONVECTION HEAVILY SHEARED OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST. A 010232Z METOP-B ASCAT IMAGE REVEALED THE ASYMMETRIC WIND FIELD WITH 40-45 KTS CONFINED TO THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT TC 27S IS PLACED WITHIN A HIGHLY UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY VERY HIGH (OVER 50 KTS) NORTHWESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, SIGNIFICANT DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT, AND COOL (24-25 C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. TC 27S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK FURTHER WESTWARD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS, ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A SHALLOW SUBTROPICAL RIDGE POSITIONED TO THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. INTENSITY IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE DROPPING IN RESPONSE TO THE INCREASINGLY HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING BOTH THE WESTWARD TRACK AND THE CONTINUED WEAKENING TREND. SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION IS FORECAST TO COMPLETE WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS THE VORTEX FURTHER SHALLOWS AND BECOMES COMPLETELY TAKEN OVER BY DRY AIR. 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. MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE AT 010600Z IS 993 MB. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 010600Z IS 20 FEET.// 2725032100 154S1121E 15 2725032106 152S1124E 15 2725032112 148S1128E 20 2725032118 145S1134E 25 2725032200 138S1140E 25 2725032206 136S1148E 25 2725032212 134S1152E 25 2725032218 130S1153E 25 2725032300 129S1154E 25 2725032306 133S1150E 25 2725032312 139S1145E 25 2725032318 145S1139E 25 2725032400 153S1132E 30 2725032406 160S1120E 30 2725032412 165S1111E 35 2725032418 166S1105E 40 2725032500 167S1100E 40 2725032506 168S1092E 40 2725032512 170S1083E 40 2725032518 173S1072E 45 2725032600 177S1054E 55 2725032600 177S1054E 55 2725032606 177S1041E 60 2725032606 177S1041E 60 2725032612 175S1032E 70 2725032612 175S1032E 70 2725032612 175S1032E 70 2725032618 173S1022E 70 2725032618 173S1022E 70 2725032618 173S1022E 70 2725032700 169S1010E 75 2725032700 169S1010E 75 2725032700 169S1010E 75 2725032706 168S1000E 80 2725032706 168S1000E 80 2725032706 168S1000E 80 2725032712 168S 992E 90 2725032712 168S 992E 90 2725032712 168S 992E 90 2725032718 167S 981E 85 2725032718 167S 981E 85 2725032718 167S 981E 85 2725032800 167S 972E 80 2725032800 167S 972E 80 2725032800 167S 972E 80 2725032806 168S 957E 85 2725032806 168S 957E 85 2725032806 168S 957E 85 2725032812 171S 946E 110 2725032812 171S 946E 110 2725032812 171S 946E 110 2725032818 174S 931E 115 2725032818 174S 931E 115 2725032818 174S 931E 115 2725032900 176S 921E 115 2725032900 176S 921E 115 2725032900 176S 921E 115 2725032906 180S 910E 120 2725032906 180S 910E 120 2725032906 180S 910E 120 2725032912 186S 901E 130 2725032912 186S 901E 130 2725032912 186S 901E 130 2725032918 195S 893E 125 2725032918 195S 893E 125 2725032918 195S 893E 125 2725033000 201S 888E 115 2725033000 201S 888E 115 2725033000 201S 888E 115 2725033006 211S 882E 100 2725033006 211S 882E 100 2725033006 211S 882E 100 2725033012 218S 880E 80 2725033012 218S 880E 80 2725033012 218S 880E 80 2725033018 223S 879E 75 2725033018 223S 879E 75 2725033018 223S 879E 75 2725033100 231S 881E 70 2725033100 231S 881E 70 2725033100 231S 881E 70 2725033106 240S 885E 65 2725033106 240S 885E 65 2725033106 240S 885E 65 2725033112 246S 888E 60 2725033112 246S 888E 60 2725033118 248S 888E 55 2725033118 248S 888E 55 2725040100 249S 887E 50 2725040100 249S 887E 50 2725040106 250S 884E 45 NNNN
