WTXS21 PGTW 20000126 21:30z
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
160 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 14.6S1 111.0E3 TO 21.1S4 115.0E7
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 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT
261730Z9 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 15.7S3
111.6E9. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 10 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: A RECENT SCATTEROMETER IMAGE INDICATED A DEFINED LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONVECTION. 200
MB ANALYSIS INDICATES THE CONVECTION IS SLOWLY MOVING UNDER THE AXIS
OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE, WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE IMPROVED OUTFLOW
ALOFT. UW-CIMSS WIND SHEAR CHARTS ALSO INDICATE DECREASING VERTICAL
SHEAR CLOSER TO THE SHORE OF NORTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA AND IN THE PATH
OF THE DISTURBANCE. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED NEAR
1000 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09S HAS DEVELOPED APPROXIMATELY 330 NM
NORTH-NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH AUSTRALIA AND HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT
05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
270530Z7 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 AND 30 KNOTS. ANIMATED MULTI-
SPECTRAL IMAGERY DEPICTS NEW CONVECTION BUILDING OVER THE LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER. LOW-LEVEL CLOUD LINES ARE ALSO VISIBLE MOVING IN
TOWARD THE CENTER FROM THE SOUTHEAST. A MID-LEVEL HIGH SITUATED OVER
SOUTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA IS FORECAST TO BUILD NORTHEASTWARD OVER
KIMBERLEY BY THE 36 HOUR PERIOD. THEREFORE, TC 09S SHOULD TRACK
INITIALLY, SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD BEFORE MAKING A TURN TOWARD THE
SOUTHWEST AFTER THE 36 HOUR PERIOD. TC 09S IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY
AT A NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AS WEAK TO MODERATE NORTHEASTERLIES
ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE POSITIONED OVER THE WESTERN
TERRITORY MARGINALLY INHIBIT DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE

REMARKS:
272100Z2 POSITION NEAR 18.7S6 111.9E2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 250 NM NORTH-
NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT
07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
271730Z0 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 45 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED
IMAGERY INDICATE AN INCREASE IN OVERALL CONVECTION WHICH HAS
RECENTLY BUILT OVER THE PREVIOUSLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). THE SYSTEM HAS TRACKED WITHIN THE STEERING FLOW OF
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST. TC 09S IS FORECAST TO TRACK
SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD, BECOMING MORE SOUTHWESTWARD AS THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE OVER NORTHWEST AUSTRALIA BUILDS SLOWLY TOWARDS THE WEST.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES IMPROVING OUTFLOW ALOFT WITH
DECREASING VERTICAL SHEAR ACROSS THE REGION. TC 09S IS FORECAST TO
INTENSIFY AT A NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE. INCREASING VERTICAL SHEAR
MAY BEGIN TO INHIBIT DEVELOPMENT AFTER THE 36 TO 48 HOUR FORECAST
PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 271800Z8 IS 12 FEET. NEXT

TROPICAL RAINFALL MEASURING MISSION (TRMM) PASS INDICATED THE SYSTEM
IS DEVELOPING AN EYE. CONVECTIVE BANDING IS SURROUNDING ABOUT EIGHT
TENTHS OF THE VORTEX. 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES THE UPPER-LEVEL
RIDGE HAS BUILT OVER THE SYSTEM. A MID-LEVEL HIGH SITUATED OVER THE
WESTERN TERRITORY IS BUILDING WESTWARD OVER THE EASTERN INDIAN OCEAN
PROVIDING A WESTWARD STEERING FLOW FOR TC 09S DURING THE NEXT 12
HOURS. AFTERWARD, TC 09S (KIRRILY) IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE PERIOD WITHIN A SLIGHT WEAKNESS IN THE
MID-LEVEL RIDGE. TC 09S IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY AT A NEAR

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09S (KIRRILY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 450 NM
WEST OF LEARMONTH AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
300530Z1 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 65 KNOTS.
CURRENT ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A DECREASE IN CONVECTION
DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. A 300119Z4 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE
IMAGER (SSMI) PASS INDICATES A VERY BROAD LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER WITH THE CONVECTION CONFINED WITHIN 60 NM OF THE CENTER. 200
MB ANALYSIS INDICATES THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS REMAINS JUST SOUTH
OF THE SYSTEM, WITH AN UPPER LEVEL JET EVIDENT TO THE SOUTHWEST. TC
09S (KIRRILY) IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE MID-LEVEL SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
SOUTHEAST. TC 09S (KIRRILY) IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD AS THE SYSTEM MOVES INTO INCREASING VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 300600Z9 IS 20 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 302100Z6 (DTG 301955Z3) AND 310900Z3 (DTG
