WTPS21 PGTW 20000402 19:30z SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 021921Z APR 00// RMKS/ 1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT MORESBY 2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 200 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 15.8S4 161.4E2 TO 13.0S4 153.4E3 WITHIN THE NEXT 06 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 20 TO 25 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT 021730Z3 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 15.3S9 160.3E0. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTH- NORTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS. 3. REMARKS: ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONVECTION NEAR A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). IMAGERY ALSO REVEALS THAT THE SYSTEM IS SMALL (90 NM) IN AREAL EXTENT. 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS MOVING UNDER THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO GOOD. 4.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 23P (VAUGHAN) WARNING NR 008 02 ACTIVE TROPICAL CYCLONES IN SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE MAX SUSTAINED WINDS BASED ON ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE --- WARNING POSITION: 061200Z9 --- NEAR 15.6S2 146.0E1 MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 250 DEGREES AT 08 KTS POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 060 NM POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY A COMBINATION OF SATELLITE AND SYNOPTIC DATA PRESENT WIND DISTRIBUTION: MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 035 KT, GUSTS 045 KT DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER WATER REPEAT POSIT: 15.6S2 146.0E1 --- FORECASTS: 12 HRS, VALID AT: 070000Z7 --- 16.0S7 144.8E7 MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 030 KT, GUSTS 040 KT DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER LAND VECTOR TO 24 HR POSIT: 250 DEG/ 06 KTS --- 24 HRS, VALID AT: 071200Z0 --- 16.4S1 143.7E5 MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 025 KT, GUSTS 035 KT DISSIPATED AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER LAND --- REMARKS: 061500Z2 POSITION NEAR 15.7S3 145.7E7. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (VAUGHAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 81 NM NORTH OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 061130Z1 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, SYNOPTIC DATA, AND MICROWAVE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS RAPIDLY WEAKENING DEEP CONVECTION. A 061120Z0 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) PASS DEPICTS EXTREMELY SPARSE WEAK DEEP CONVECTION WITH NO CLEARLY DISCERNIBLE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER(LLCC). THE SSM/I PASS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH SYNOPTIC DATA, DOES SHOW SOME EVIDENCE OF THE LLCC POSITION. A SYNOPTIC REPORT AT GREEN ISLAND WITH EASTERLY FLOW AT 15 KNOTS INDICATES THAT THE LLCC IS NORTHWEST OF THIS STATION. THE SSM/I PASS DOES SHOW A POSSIBLE LLCC IN THIS AREA. THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE HAS NOW BUILT NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN CORAL SEA IN RESPONSE TO A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH MOVING OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN AUSTRALIA COAST. THIS WILL ALLOW TC 23P TO CONTINUE TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. TC 23P (VAUGHAN) SHOULD MAKE LANDFALL ABOUT 71 NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF CAIRNS WITHIN THE NEXT 06-12 HOURS AND DISSIPATE BY THE 24-HOUR POINT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 061200Z9 IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 070300Z0 (DTG 070153Z6).

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (VAUGHAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 115 NM NORTHWEST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 062330Z4 INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SYNOPTIC. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 KNOTS. TC 23P (VAUGHAN) MOVED ONSHORE OVER 12 HOURS AGO AND WEAKENED RAPIDLY. EARLY ANIMATED IMAGERY AND MICROWAVE PASSES SHOWED RAPID DISSIPATION OF THE CONVECTION AS THE SYSTEM MOVED OVER THE COAST. SYNOPTIC DATA INDICATES A BROAD, WEAK, LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER OVER THE CAPE YORK PENINSULA. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 21S (HUDAH) WARNINGS (WTXS31 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
