Tropical Disturbance 19F
A new system is up about 100 miles from Pago Pago. Although there is no word from the JTWC, RSMC Nadi gives the system a pressure of 1004 mbar (hPa; 29.65 inHg). Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  01:42, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

98P.INVEST
An unusual subtropical cyclone is currently located south-southeast of Pago Pago. With dry air wrapping into the system, it has winds of 50 knots (60 mph) (1-minute sustained) and a pressure of 988 mbar (hPa), which is lower than both June and Mike's peak pressures. Although the JTWC only gives the system a low chance of becoming tropical in the next 48 hours, it will be extremely interesting to follow this system.

 * Despite an extremely unusual organization, the subtropical cyclone is in a warm anomaly zone. However, strong wind shear is also persistent, giving the JTWC a medium chance of development in the next 24 hours. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  12:26, April 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * This quasi-tropical storm is losing the battle. SST's have dropped a few degrees, and it should crash into New Zealand within a few days. Per JTWC - Current intensity: 40 to 45 knots (45 to 50 mph) (1-minute sustained winds) /988 mbar (hPa). Chance of formation in the next 24 hours: down to low.

 * This cyclone looks extremely subtropical on satellite imagery. As it continues to head towards New Zealand, it should maintain gale-force winds and subtropical characteristics. Everything else remains the same per the JTWC. RSMC Nadi has not acknowledged this system yet. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  11:48, April 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Still nothing much new from either RSMC Nadi or the JTWC. I doubt it will develop at all now. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  21:56, April 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Still expected to smash into New Zealand per the JTWC... Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  13:35, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
