Tropical Cyclone MONA [Australian Region][South Indian Ocean][South Pacific Ocean][Southern Hemisphere][Summaries and Track Data]

WTPS 22 PHNC 20000308 00:00z
RMKS/1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE 
WITHIN 100 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 19.1S1 174.5W7 TO 22.4S8
176.9W3 WITHIN THE NEXT 00 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 IMAGERY AT 072030Z2 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 19.2S2 174.5W7. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 10 KNOTS. THE NEXT SATELLITE INVESTIGATION IS SCHEDULED FOR
081800Z7.
2. REMARKS: LATEST MICROWAVE IMAGERY 072030Z INDICATES A WELL 
DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION AND OUTFLOW IS GOOD. SYSTEM WILL
CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT.

REMARKS: TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 19P HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD
OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 072330Z5
VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS.  
SATELLITE ANIMATION CONTINUES TO SHOW IMPROVED LOW-LEVEL 
ORGANIZATION WITH OUTFLOW REMAINING GOOD IN ALL QUADRANTS. MODELS 
REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE 36 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD. 
TC 19P IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE
OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST. TC 19P IS FORECAST TO
INTENSIFY CLIMATOLOGICALLY OVER THE 36 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD. 
AFTER THAT, INCREASING VERTICAL SHEAR WILL SERVE TO BEGIN WEAKENING
THE SYSTEM. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 080000Z IS 10 FEET.

REMARKS:
TROPICAL CYCLONE 19P (MONA) HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 07 KTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS
BASED ON 081800Z7 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, SYNOPTIC DATA,
AND RADAR DATA. SYSTEM HAS SHOWN RAPID INTENSIFICATION THUS
INTENSITY HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO 55 KTS. ANIMATED IMAGERY
VERIFIES THESE ESTIMATES WITH STRONG OUTFLOW EVIDENT IN
ALL QUADRANTS AND DEVELOPING CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO).
TC 19P IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTH-SOUTHWEST THEN TRACK MORE
SOUTHWARD, DUE TO A WEAKENESS IN THE RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH. AS
THE SYSTEM TRACKS SOUTHWARD, GRADUAL WEAKENING IS FORECAST
DUE TO INCREASED SHEAR AND LOWERING SST=S. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 081800Z7 IS 26 FEET. 12 HOURLY FORECAST WARNING
TIMES FOR TC19P (MONA) HAVE BEEN CHANGED IN VIEW OF THIS RAPID
INTENSIFICATION.  NEXT WARNINGS WILL NOW BE VALID AT 090900Z8

REMARKS:
TROPICAL CYCLONE 19P (MONA) HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD

090530Z7 INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. ANIMATED
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT TC 19P IS UNDER MODERATE NORTHWESTERLY
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. HOWEVER, AN IRREGULAR CLOUD-FILLED EYE IS
ALSO EVIDENT. BASED ON A TROPICAL RAINFALL MEASURING MISSION PASS
AT 090530Z7, THERE IS A NEAR CONCENTRIC EYEWALL WITH DEEP CONVECTION
TO THE WEST. TC 19P IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF A MID TO UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO THE EAST. TC 19P
SHOULD WEAKEN RAPIDLY AS IT ENCOUNTERS INCREASING VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR DUE TO AN APPROACHING MID-LATITIUDE TROUGH. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 090600Z5 IS 30 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 092100Z2
