TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT(TCFA) ISSUED AT 01/0230UTC.
THE AREA OF CONVECTION (REMNANTS 07P) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 17.5S 139.7E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 17.4S 139.5E, APPROXIMATELY 48 NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF MORNINGTON ISLAND. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN PERIPHERIES OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE REMNANTS OF 07P IS IN A MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH ROBUST EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW ALOFT, MOIST AIR IN THE AREA, AND LOW SURFACE PRESSURES OFFSET BY MODERATE TO HIGH (20-25 KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. RECENT OBSERVATIONS FROM MORNINGTON ISLAND, TO THE NORTH, SHOW WESTERLY WINDS OF 26 KTS. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ALONG THE SOUTHERN COAST OF THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA AND GLOBAL MODELS HAVE THE SYSTEM TRACKING SLOWLY AND ERRATICALLY OVER THE NEXT 36-48 HOURS WITH A BRIEF PERIOD WHERE THE SYSTEM COULD REACH WEAK TROPICAL CYCLONE STRENGTH BEFORE TRACKING BACK SOUTHWARD. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 997 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO HIGH.
GLOBAL MODELS HAVE THE SYSTEM TRACKING SLOWLY AND ERRATICALLY OVER THE NEXT 36-48 HOURS WITH A BRIEF PERIOD WHERE THE SYSTEM COULD REACH WEAK TROPICAL CYCLONE STRENGTH BEFORE TRACKING BACK SOUTHWARD.

WARNING 3 ISSUED AT 01/03UTC.
CLICK ON THE IMAGERY BELOW TO GET IT ANIMATED AND ENLARGED.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS AN EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION POSITIONED ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF AN AREA OF ISOLATED, FLARING DEEP CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE EIR IMAGERY. A 312303Z SSMIS 91 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE INDICATES WEAK OVERALL STRUCTURE WITH NO DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER AND A LINEAR BAND OF SHEARED DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE EASTERN QUADRANT. DESPITE THE UNIMPRESSIVE CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE, A 311745Z ASCAT-C IMAGE SHOWED 30 TO 35 KNOTS OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE, WHICH SUPPORTS THE INITIAL INTENSITY ASSESSMENT OF 35 KNOTS. AGENCY DVORAK ESTIMATES ALSO SUPPORT THE INITIAL INTENSITY ASSESSMENT WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS REMAIN MARGINALLY FAVORABLE WITH MODERATE TO HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) OFFSET SOMEWHAT BY MODERATE POLEWARD VENTING.
TC Warning Graphic
FORECAST REASONING. SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: SYSTEM IS NOW EXPECTED TO UNDERGO SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION VICE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09S IS FORECAST TO REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY THROUGH TAU 12 THEN GRADUALLY ACCELERATE SOUTHEASTWARD AS THE STR STRENGTHENS TO THE EAST AND A HIGH AMPLITUDE STEERING PATTERN SETS UP. THIS STEERING PATTERN WILL DRIVE THE SYSTEM SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD WITHIN THE ENHANCED FLOW BETWEEN THE STR AND A DEEP UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH. THE SYSTEM WILL INTERACT WITH A DEEP UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AFTER TAU 36 AND COMMENCE SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION AS IT TRACKS UNDER A SUBTROPICAL JET. VWS WILL INCREASE TO 35 TO 45 KNOTS WITH DRY AIR ENVELOPING THE SYSTEM AFTER TAU 48. SOME INTENSIFICATION IS LIKELY BUT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED DEEP UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AS THE SYSTEM COMPLETES SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION.
Model Diagnostic Plot
MODEL DISCUSSION: NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT LENDING MEDIUM OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. THERE IS MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC INTENSITY FORECAST, WITH GUIDANCE INDICATING A PEAK INTENSITY IN THE 40 TO 60 KNOT RANGE. HAFS-A PEAKS THE INTENSITY AT 53 KNOTS AT TAU 72 WHILE COAMPS-TC (NAVGEM) PEAKS THE INTENSITY AT 60 KNOTS AT TAU 72. HAFS-A AND COAMPS-TC (NAVGEM) ARE ASSESSED AS UNREALISTIC DUE TO THE UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT AFTER TAU 36.
