SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT/162021APR2006//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
110 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 10.3S 150.9E TO 13.1S 148.2E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 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 30 TO 35 KNOTS. METSAT IM-
AGERY AT 161800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 10.8S 150.5E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 9.5S
151.6E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 10.8S 150.5E, APPROXIMATELY 245 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF PORT MORESBY, PAPUA NEW GUINEA. RECENT ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY DEPICTS DEEPENING CONVECTION ASSOCIATED
WITH A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS INDICATES AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE NORTHERN CORAL
SEA. THIS RIDGE WILL CREATE A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD DIVERGENCE
ALOFT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 30 TO 35
KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB.
THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED
BY 172030Z.//

REMARKS:
170300Z POSITION NEAR 12.5S 149.8E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 240 NM
SOUTHEAST OF PORT MORESBY, PAPUA NEW GUINEA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 13 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND MULTIPLE MICROWAVE PASSES INDICATE
THAT THE CONVECTION IS WRAPPING INTO THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A LOW TO MID LEVEL
STEERING RIDGE WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO SHIFT TO THE WEST AFTER
TAU 12 AND AN OFFSET UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE WILL PROVIDE FAVOR-
ABLE DIVERGENCE ALOFT. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A,
NAVPACMETOCCEN 162021ZAPR2006 TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION
ALERT (WTPS21 PGTW 162030). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 170000Z IS 10 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 171500Z AND 180300Z.//

REMARKS:
180300Z POSITION NEAR 13.0S 147.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 270 NM
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 08
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE CYCLONE WILL CONTINUE ON A
GENERAL WESTWARD TRACK THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD, REMAINING ON
THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF MID-LEVEL RIDGING OVER CENTRAL AUSTRALIA.
AN INITIAL PERIOD OF STRONG INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED (PRIOR TO
LANDFALL WITH CAPE YORK) IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LOW VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AND FAVORABLE ANTICYCLONIC OUTFLOW ALOFT. TC 23P WILL WEAKEN
AFTER 24 HOURS DUE TO INTERACTION WITH LAND. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 180000Z IS 24 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 181500Z AND
190300Z.//

REMARKS:
181500Z POSITION NEAR 13.1S 145.3E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 230 NM
NORTH OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS
IMPROVED RADIAL OUTFLOW AND A FLUCTUATING CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST. TC
23P HAS MAINTAINED A RELATIVELY STEADY WESTWARD TRACK FOR THE PAST 24
HOURS, AND THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO STAY ON THIS COURSE AS IT MOVES
ACROSS CAPE YORK. THROUGH THE NEXT 48 HOURS, TC 23P WILL MOVE INTO
THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA AS IT TRACKS ALONG THE EQUATORWARD PERIPHERY
OF A STEERING RIDGE SITUATED OVER CENTRAL AUSTRALIA. THE INTENSITY
WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD, HOWEVER IT
SHOULD WEAKEN SLIGHTLY AT TAU 18 DUE TO PASSAGE OVER LAND. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 181200Z IS 26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
190300Z AND 191500Z.//

REMARKS:
191500Z POSITION NEAR 13.7S 142.3E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 65 NM
SOUTHEAST OF WEIPA, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-WESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
REVEALS A SUBSTANTIAL BREAKDOWN IN CORE CONVECTION AND FRAGMENTED
RADIAL OUTFLOW. DURING THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS, TC 23P WILL TRACK
SLIGHTLY POLEWARD AS A TRANSIENT MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH WEAKENS THE
STEERING RIDGE OVER CENTRAL AUSTRALIA. AFTER TAU 24, THE RIDGE WILL
REDEVELOP OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA AND CAUSE TC 23P TO TRACK NORTHWEST-
WARD. THE INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM WILL DECREASE THROUGH TAU 12,
HOWEVER ONCE TC 23P MOVES OVER THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA, IT WILL BEGIN
TO SLOWLY STRENGTHEN AS SURFACE INFLOW IMPROVES. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 191200Z IS 25 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 200300Z AND
201500Z.//

REMARKS:
200300Z POSITION NEAR 13.8S 141.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 60 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF WEIPA, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE PASSING OF THE MIDLATITUDE TROUGH AXIS
TO THE SOUTHEAST OF TC 23P IS CAUSING THE STEERING RIDGE OVER CENTRAL
AUSTRALIA TO BUILD IN SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. THIS WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM
TO TRACK TO THE WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
AS TC 23P MOVES OVER THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA, IT WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY
STRENGTHEN AS SURFACE INFLOW IMPROVES AND RADIAL OUTFLOW CONTINUES.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 200000Z IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS
AT 201500Z AND 210300Z.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 550 NM
EAST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 23P HAS REEMERGED OVER THE WARM

REMARKS:

211500Z POSITION NEAR 13.1S 139.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 520 NM EAST
OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 02 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. A BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ANCHORED
OVER SOUTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA WILL STEER TC 23P IN A MORE WESTERLY
DIRECTION DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.  THE VERTICAL WIND SHEER ENVIRON-
MENT REMAINS FAVORABLE. ONLY MODEST STRENGTHENING IS ANTICIPATED,
HOWEVER, AS UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW TO THE SOUTH DIMINISHES AND THE STORM
BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH LAND. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
211200Z IS 30 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 220300Z AND 221500Z.//

REMARKS:
220300Z POSITION NEAR 12.5S 139.1E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
490 NM EAST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD
AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. A BUILDING SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA WILL INDUCE A SIGNIFICANT WEST-
WARD SHIFT IN THE FORECAST TRACK AS TC 23P BECOMES SITUATED
ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS STEERING MECHANISM. THE
CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD DUE TO
REDUCED UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW, THE INGESTION OF DRIER AIR, AND
DISRUPTED LOW LEVEL INFLOW AS THE SYSTEM INTERACTS WITH LAND.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 220000Z IS 35 FEET. NEXT

REMARKS:
221500Z POSITION NEAR 12.0S 138.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 460 NM EAST
OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED FORWARD SPEED AND
REMAINS ON A GENERAL NORTHWESTWARD TRACK. BY THE 24 HOUR FORECAST
PERIOD, A DEEPENING TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA,
WEAKENING THE STEERING RIDGE, ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO BEGIN A MORE
WESTWARD TRACK. THE DEVELOPING RIDGE TO THE SOUTHWEST IS BEGINNING TO
IMPINGE ON THE POLEWARD OUTFLOW, BUT INTENSITY WILL BE MAINTAINED
THROUGHOUT THE FIRST 12 HOURS OF THE FORECAST. INTENSITY WILL DE-
CREASE BEYOND THE 12 HOUR PERIOD AS TC 23P BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH
THE COAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 221200Z IS 37 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 230300Z AND 231500Z.//

REMARKS:
230300Z POSITION NEAR 11.3S 137.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 425 NM EAST
OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE RELATIVELY SMALL CIRCULATION OF TC 23P REMAINS OVER
HIGH SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND WITHIN A FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL EN-
VIRONMENT. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CYCLONE INTENSIFIED CONSIDERABLY OVER THE
LAST 24 HOURS, AND HAS NOW DEVELOPED A 20 NM DIAMETER EYE. MODEST
WEAKENING IS EXPECTED AFTER TAU 24 AS THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH LAND. THE MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE CURRENTLY
OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA IS FORECAST TO BUILD EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. TC 23P WILL REMAIN ON THE EQUATORWARD PERIPHERY OF THIS RIDGE
AND BEGIN A MORE WESTWARD TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
230000Z IS 30 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 231500Z AND 240300Z.//

REMARKS:
231500Z POSITION NEAR 11.3S 136.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (MONICA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 360 NM EAST
OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST
SIX HOURS. THE INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM HAS SLIGHTLY INTENSIFIED OVER
THE LAST 12 HOURS DUE TO FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND
WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 23P WILL MAINTAIN ITS INTENSITY AS IT
TRACKS WESTWARD THROUGH TAU 24, DECREASING AS IT MAKES LANDFALL. LAND
EFFECTS WILL THEN BEGIN TO BRING DOWN THE INTENSITY FROM TAU 36
THROUGH TAU 48. THE MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN IN
THE LATER TAUS AS A MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES OVER WESTERN AUST-
RALIA CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO BEGIN A MORE POLEWARD TRACK. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 231200Z IS 30 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
240300Z AND 241500Z.//

THE CYCLONE WILL BEGIN A MORE POLEWARD TRACK, MAKING LANDFALL IN 12 HOURS
AND REMAINING JUST INLAND THROUGH 36 HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
EMERGE IN THE JOSEPH BONAPARTE GULF AT THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
TC 23P WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT APPROACHES AND INTERACTS WITH LAND.
