AMPN/REF A IS TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS21 PGTW
100500)//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
250 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 8.4S2 94.5E8 TO 15.1S7 110.9E1
WITHIN THE NEXT 02 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 101530Z0 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 10.1S2 99.1E9. THE SYSTEM IS QUASI-STATIONARY AT 02
KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 101439Z8 SPECIAL SENSOR
MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) PASS DEPICT DEEP CONVECTION INCREASING
AND WRAPPING IN TOWARD THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER FROM THE
NORTH. VERTICAL WINDSHEAR TENDENCY CHART AND 200 MB ANALYSIS
INDICATE THE LLCC IS UNDER A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED AT 1003 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 111630Z2.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 420 NM SOUTHWEST OF
JAVA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 03 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6
HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 101730Z2 INFRARED SATELLITE

INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS AND SYNOPTIC DATA. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS CONVECTION HAS INCREASED IN AREAL COVERAGE
OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. A 101439Z8 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER

(LLCC) WITH A CONVECTIVE BAND TO THE NORTH BEGINNING TO WRAP IN
TOWARD THE CENTER. TC 01S IS FORECAST TO TRACK GENERALLY
SOUTHEASTWARD WITHIN A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 01S SHOULD INCREASE IN INTENSITY AT A NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL

REMARKS:
110900Z1 POSITION NEAR 11.2S4 100.5E6.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S (ILSA), APPROXIMATELY 315 NM WEST OF
CHRISTMAS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 07 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 110530Z0 VISIBLE AND
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
CURRENT SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS CONVECTION HAS INCREASED IN AREAL
COVERAGE OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AND BECOME MORE SYMMETRIC AROUND THE
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A PREVIOUS SCATTEROMETER IMAGE
REVEALED THE STRONGEST WINDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND NORTHEASTERN
PORTION OF THE LLCC. TC 01S (ILSA) IS FORECAST TO TRACK GENERALLY
SOUTHEASTWARD WITHIN THE RELATIVELY WEAK STEERING FLOW OF
SUBTROPICAL RIDGING TO THE NORTH. INTERACTION WITH ANOTHER TROPICAL
LOW IN THE TIMOR SEA AND A MID LEVEL LOW OFF WESTERN AUSTRALIA IS
POSSIBLE AFTER THE 48 HOUR PERIOD. TC 01S (ILSA) IS FORECAST TO
INTENSIFY AT A NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH THE INITIAL 36
HOURS WITH INCREASING SHEAR, CURRENTLY SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM,
INHIBITING SOME INTENSIFICATION AFTER THIS PERIOD. JUSTIFICATION:
CORRECTED MANOP. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 110600Z IS 14

REMARKS:
132100Z7 POSITION NEAR 12.4S7 107.0E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S (ILSA), APPROXIMATELY 130 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF CHRISTMAS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 08 KNOTS
DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
131730Z5 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON CURRENT SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS CONVECTION HAS REFORMED OVER THE
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. A
131359Z2 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER PASS SHOWS THAT THE PRIMARY
CONVECTIVE BAND IS NORTH OF THE LLCC. TC 01S (ILSA) IS FORECAST TO
TRACK GENERALLY TOWARDS THE EAST WITHIN THE MID-LEVEL STEERING FLOW
OF RIDGING TO THE NORTH. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TURNING
BACK TOWARDS THE SOUTH AFTER THE 36 HOUR PERIOD AS TC 02S (JOHN)
BEGINS TO MOVE INLAND. TC 01S (ILSA) IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN ITS
CURRENT INTENSITY DURING THE INITIAL 24 HOURS DUE TO SHEAR FROM TC
02S (JOHN). AFTERWARDS, AS VERTICAL SHEAR BEGINS TO DECREASE, SLIGHT
REINTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
131800Z3 IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 140900Z4 (DTG 140753Z0) AND
142100Z8 (DTG 141953Z3). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 02S (JOHN)

INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS. ANIMATED VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER IS BEGINNING TO MOVE OUT

ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 AND 55 KNOTS.
ANIMATED VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC) HAS BECOME COMPLETELY EXPOSED WITH THE CONVECTION
SHEARED ABOUT 70 NM TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST. TC 01S (ILSA) HAS

THE EAST. TC 01S (ILSA) IS NO LONGER FORECAST TO SIGNIFICANTLY
RE-INTENSIFY DUE TO CONTINUED NORTHEASTERLY SHEAR CREATED BY A BROAD
UPPER LEVEL HIGH NORTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE ACCELERATED FORWARD
SPEED OF THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO HINDER REDEVELOPEMENT OF CONVECTION.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S (ILSA) HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 17
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
161130Z2 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 KNOTS. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) REMAINS COMPLETELY EXPOSED WITH THE CONVECTION SHEARED ABOUT
50 NM TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST. TC 01S (ILSA) HAS TRACKED WITHIN THE
STEERING FLOW OF THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST-
NORTHEAST. TC 01S (ILSA) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. CONTINUED
NORTHEASTERLY SHEAR CREATED BY A BROAD UPPER LEVEL HIGH TO THE
NORTHEAST OF TC 01S (ILSA) IS FORECAST TO HINDER ANY FUTHER
DEVELOPMENT. THE LLCC, HOWEVER, IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN INTACT UNTIL
MAKING LANDFALL AROUND THE 12 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD. TC 01S (ILSA)
SHOULD THEN DISSIPATE OVER LAND WITHIN 36 HOURS. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 161200Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S (ILSA) HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT
15 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
161730Z8 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 AND 55 KNOTS.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS CONVECTION HAS INCREASED
IN THE PAST 6 HOURS, AND THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
APPEARS TO HAVE MOVED APPROXIMATELY 20 NM UNDER THE CONVECTION.
SYNOPTIC DATA INDICATES THAT THE WINDS ARE SYMMETRICAL AROUND
THE LLCC WITH THE 35-KNOT RADIUS APPROXIMATELY 60 NM. RADAR DATA
FROM PORT HEDLAND SUGGESTS THAT THE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH TC
01S (ILSA) IS LOOSELY ORGANIZED AND OF OVERALL MODERATE INTENSITY.
TC 01S (ILSA) HAS TRACKED WITHIN THE STEERING FLOW OF THE MID-LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST. TC 01S (ILSA) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD, UNDER DECREASING NORTHEASTERLY
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, THROUGH THE PERIOD. TC 01S (ILSA) IS EXPECTED
TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY PRIOR TO LANDFALL, AND THEN TO RAPIDLY
DISSIPATE OVER LAND AFTER THE 12 HOUR POINT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 161800Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 170300Z1 (DTG

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S (ILSA) HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT
09 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
162330Z5 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 AND 55 KNOTS.
ANIMATED VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) IS EMBEDDED APPROXIMATELY 30 NM INTO THE DEEP CONVECTION.
SYNOPTIC DATA INDICATES THAT THE WINDS ARE FAIRLY SYMMETRICAL AROUND
THE LLCC WITH THE 35-KNOT WIND RADIUS OF APPROXIMATELY 60 NM. RADAR
DATA FROM PORT HEDLAND SUGGESTS THAT THE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH
TC 01S (ILSA) HAS DECREASED IN AREAL EXTENT AND BECOME POORLY
ORGANIZED OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. TC 01S (ILSA) HAS TRACKED WITHIN
