REMARKS:
070300Z POSITION NEAR 18.1S 117.2E.
07FEB20. TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (DAMIEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 159
NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS SLOWED DOWN AND
BEGUN TO TURN MORE POLEWARD. IT ALSO MAINTAINED A COMPACT AND
SYMMETRIC PROFILE AS IT STRENGTHENED FURTHER, AS EVIDENCED BY
EXPANDING OVERSHOOTING TOPS AND THE IMMINENT FORMATION OF AN EYE.
THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE
MICROWAVE EYES IN THE 062221Z GPM AND 062231Z CORIOLIS PASSES. THE
INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON OBJECTIVE AND AGENCY DVORAK ESTIMATES
RANGING FROM T3.5/55KTS TO T4.2/62KTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES A VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW 10-15KT VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR (VWS), RADIAL OUTFLOW, AND WARM 29-30C SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURE. TC 14S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTHWARD AFTER TAU 12 AS
IT ROUNDS THE STEERING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST, MAKING
LANDFALL AROUND TAU 30 APPROXIMATELY 180NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF
LEARMONTH. TC DAMIEN WILL RAPIDLY INTENSIFY IN THE NEAR TERM,
PEAKING AT 95KTS AROUND TAU 24 BEFORE WEAKENING AS IT APPROACHES
LAND. AFTER LANDFALL, THE SYSTEM WILL RAPIDLY ERODE MOSTLY DUE TO
FRICTIONAL EFFECTS AND INCREASING VWS. THE INTENSITY WILL DROP TO
BELOW WARNING CRITERIA BY TAU 72. NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN OVERALL
GOOD AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 070000Z IS 21 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS
AT 070900Z, 071500Z, 072100Z AND 080300Z.//
