SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 170021Z APR 00//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
125 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 13.0S4 119.9E0 TO 18.0S9
116.0E8 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 25 TO 30 KNOTS.
METSAT IMAGERY AT 162301Z3 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 14.5S0 118.6E6. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 06 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 14.0S5 119.5E6 IS
NOW LOCATED NEAR 14.5S0 118.6E6. ANIMATED VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) SITUATED ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE DEEP CONVECTION.
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS STEADILY IMPROVING ORGANIZATION
WITH DEEP CONVECTION WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC FROM THE NORTHWEST.
IMAGERY ALSO INDICATES THAT THE AREA HAS GOOD INFLOW. ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT. THE UW-CIMSS AND 200 MB
ANALYSIS INDICATE THAT THE AREA IS WITHIN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT
FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25
TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1001
MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS NOW GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 180030Z2.//

REMARKS:
170900Z7 POSITION NEAR 14.2S7 119.5E6.
THE AREA OF CONVECTION WEST OF THE KIMBERLEY COAST OF AUSTRALIA,
WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS22
PGTW 170030), HAS DEVELOPED INTO TROPICAL CYCLONE 27S. TROPICAL
CYCLONE (TC) 27S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 370 NM NORTH OF PORT
HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 03 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 170530Z6 VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL
IMAGERY DEPICTS AN INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE OVER THE PAST 12
HOURS. HOWEVER, CONVECTION HAS SHOWN IMPROVED ORGANIZATION ONLY
DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE TWO SYMMETRIC
SHAPED REGIONS OF DEEP CONVECTION TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE LOW-
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE SYSTEM IS POSITIONED JUST TO
THE SOUTH OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS. LOW/MID LEVEL RIDGE
SITUATED OVER THE NORTHERN TERRITORY OF AUSTRALIA IS FORECAST TO
BUILD OVER THE KIMBERLEY COAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS PROVIDING A
SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK FOR TC 27S. TC 27S SHOULD INTENSIFY AT A NEAR
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS SOUTH OF THE RIDGE AXIS.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 170600Z4 IS 12 FEET. THIS WARNING

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 27S ROSITA, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 275 NM NORTH
OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 14 KNOTS
DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 171730Z9
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 AND 55 KNOTS. ANIMATED
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS CONTINUED INCREASES IN AREAL COVERAGE OVER
AS WELL AS ORGANIZATION ABOUT THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION ENTER(LLCC).
THE SYSTEM IS BEGINNING TO MOVE THROUGH A WEAKNESS IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE, AND IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE
WEAKNESS. TC 27S HAS INTENSIFIED RAPIDLY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, AND
SHOULD CONTINUE THIS RAPID RATE AS IT MOVES CLOSER TO LANDFALL. THE
INTENSITY WILL PEAK NEAR THE END OF THE FORECAST AS THE TC 27S
(ROSITA) MOVES INTO AN INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT.

EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 09 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON 191730Z1 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, AND DATA
FROM THE BROOME RADAR. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 125 KNOTS. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS SLIGHT WEAKENING OF TC 27S OVER THE PAST 3 HOURS AS IT MOVES
INLAND. PRIOR TO LANDFALL, TC 27S HAD RAPIDLY INTENSIFIED AND
MAINTAINED A 10-14 NM DIAMETER ROUND EYE. THE BROOME RADAR LOOP
INDICATES A SLIGHT DECREASE IN THE INTENSITY, BUT VERY LITTLE CHANGE
IN THE EYEWALL STRUCTURE AND STORM SHAPE. TC 27S (ROSITA) WILL
CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTH OF THE MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE, AND IS
FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. TC 27S (ROSITA) WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN RAPIDLY AFTER 12 HOURS
