28JAN21. TROPICAL CYCLONE 13S (THIRTEEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
925 SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 13 
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL 
SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS A RAGGED AND FULLY EXPOSED 
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC) WITH THE ASSOCIATED WEAK, 
FLARING CONVECTION SHEARED 130NM+ TO THE SOUTHEAST. THE 
INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE 
LLC IN THE MSI LOOP THAT LINED UP WELL WITH THE WEAK BUT 
DISCERNIBLE LLC FEATURE IN THE 272212Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE. 
THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 25KTS IS BASED ON THE SATCON ADT 
ESTIMATE OF 25KTS AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEGRADED EIR 
SATELLITE CONVECTIVE SIGNATURE. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES 
THE CYCLONE IS UNDER 25KT+ OF RELATIVE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AS 
THE STORM MOTION HAS BECOME 90DEG OUT-OF-PHASE WITH THE UPPER 
LEVEL WIND FLOW. ADDITIONALLY, OUTFLOW IS BEING SUPPRESSED BY 
THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO THE SOUTHWEST. TC 13S HAS FALLEN TO 
BELOW THE JTWC WARNING INTENSITY CRITERIA OF 35KTS AND IS NOT 
EXPECTED TO RECOVER. THE REMNANTS WILL PROPAGATE WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD THROUGH A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER, BY TAU 
72, AS IT DRIFTS INTO WARMER SST (28C), THERE IS A POSSIBILITY 
OF REGENERATION. 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. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT 
WAVE HEIGHT AT 280000Z IS 10 FEET.//
