1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT MORESBY
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
195 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 8.0S8 128.9E0 TO 11.0S2 123.5E1
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 20 TO 25 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT
091540Z9 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 8.5S3
128.0E1. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS.
3. REMARKS:
THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 8.2S0 130.5E9, IS NOW
LOCATED NEAR 8.7S5 128.8E9, APPROXIMATELY 300 NM NORTHWEST OF DARWIN
IN THE TIMOR SEA. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES INCREASING
DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC). THE 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES DIFFLUENCE AND WEAK VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE EXTENDING ALONG
12.0S3. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS.
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 1004 MB. THE POTENTIAL
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE
NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO GOOD.
4. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
101730Z2.//

REMARKS:
100300Z4 POSITION NEAR 9.5S4 126.6E5.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 130 NM EAST OF
TIMOR, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6
HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 092330Z7 INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR SATELLITE
IMAGERY INDICATES GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT. A 091938Z0 TRMM PASS DEPICTS
INCREASED LOW LEVEL ORGANIZATION SURROUNDING A COMPACT SYSTEM. TC
22S IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING
INFLUENCE OF THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING OVER THE TIMOR SEA.
FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS INDICATE THAT TC 22S WILL INTENSIFY
AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE. HOWEVER, AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS TOWARDS
TIMOR, MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN MAY SLOW INTENSIFICATION. THE FORECAST IS
BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF THREE AVAILABLE NWP MODELS INCLUDING NOGAPS,
UKMET SPECTRAL, NCEP AVN BLENDED WITH THE BAROTROPIC ADVECTION
MODELS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 100000Z1 IS 10 FEET. THIS

REMARKS:
101500Z7 POSITION NEAR 10.0S1 124.3E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (BONNIE), LOCATED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
TIMOR, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6
HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 101130Z6 INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE ISLAND OF TIMOR HAS INHIBITED DEVELOPMENT
OVER THE LAST 12 HOURS. A 101320Z7 SSMI PASS SHOWS THE WRAPPING DEEP
CONVECTION IS CONFINED TO THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE. TC 22S IS
FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF
THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING FROM AUSTRALIA INTO THE TIMOR SEA. TC
22S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE OVER THE
FORECAST PERIOD UNDER GOOD DIFFLUENT UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW. HOWEVER,
THE ISLAND OF SUMBA MAY SLOW INTENSIFICATION OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THE FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF FIVE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS
INCLUDING THE NOGAPS, UKMET SPECTRAL, NCEP AVIATION, AND BUREAU OF
METEOROLOGY TLAPS AND TCLAPS MODELS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 101200Z4 IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 110300Z5 AND 111500Z8.

REMARKS:
110300Z5 POSITION NEAR 10.0S1 121.6E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (BONNIE), LOCATED OVER SAVU SEA, HAS
TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 102330Z9 INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 45 KNOTS AND A 35 KNOT SYNOPTIC SHIP REPORT (ZCAO7).
ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT TC 22S HAS CLEARED THE
ISLAND OF TIMOR AND IS CURRENTLY REDEVELOPING OVER THE SAVU SEA. A
102214Z0 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSMI) PASS SHOWED DEEP
CONVECTION BEGINNING TO WRAP INTO THE CENTER FROM THE NORTH AND EAST
SIDES. TC 22S IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH.
THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS
IT INTERACTS WITH SUMBA ISLAND. AFTER TC 22S MOVES WEST OF SUMBA
ISLAND AND BACK OVER THE OPEN WATER IT IS EXPECTED TO INTENSITY AT A
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE UNDER A FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT. THE
FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF FIVE NUMERICAL WEATHER
PREDICTION MODELS THAT INCLUDE NOGAPS, UK-MET OFFICE, NCEP AVIATION,
AFWA MM5 AND GFDN. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 110000Z2 IS 12

REMARKS:
111500Z8 POSITION NEAR 10.0S1 119.3E4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (BONNIE), LOCATED ON THE WEST COAST OF
SUMBA ISLAND IN THE SAVU SEA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS
DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 111130Z7
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 KNOTS. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY
REVEALED A DECREASE IN CONVECTION AS THE SYSTEM PASSED OVER SUMBA
ISLAND. 200 MB ANALYSIS AND UW CIMSS PRODUCTS INDICATE THAT THE
SYSTEM IS JUST NORTH OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS IN A MARGINAL
EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. TC 22S IS FORECAST TO
TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE MID-
LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
MAINTAIN INTENSITY OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS IT TRACKS JUST SOUTH OF
THE INDONESIAN ISLANDS EAST OF JAVA. THEREAFTER, IT IS EXPECTED TO
INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AS IT MOVES AWAY FROM LAND AND
INTO A MORE FAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. THE FORECAST
IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF SEVEN NUMERICAL WEATHER PREDICTION MODELS
THAT INCLUDE NOGAPS, UK-MET OFFICE, NCEP AVIATION, TCLAPS, TLAPS,
AFWA MM5 AND GFDN. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 111200Z5 IS 15

REMARKS:
120300Z6 POSITION NEAR 10.3S4 116.6E4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (BONNIE), LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF JAVA, HAS
TRACKED WESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON 112330Z0 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RECENT
MICROWAVE IMAGERY. THE INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 KNOTS. RECENT TRMM AND MICROWAVE IMAGERY
DEPICT A DEVELOPING BANDING FEATURE EXTENDING OVER THE SOUTHWEST
QUADRANT OF THE SYSTEM. THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING WESTWARD OFF
OF THE WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA IS FORECAST TO REMAIN QUASI-
STATIONARY THROUGH PERIOD. THEREFORE, TC 22S SHOULD MOVE IN A WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD DIRECTION OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. THE FORECAST IS
BASED ON A NWP BLEND USING NOGAPS, UK-MET SPECTRAL, NCEP AVN, THE
BOM TLAPS, AND GFDN. INTENSIFICATION AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE IS
FORECAST AS THE SYSTEM MOVES AWAY FROM LAND AND BENEATH A MORE

121500Z9 POSITION NEAR 10.6S7 114.2E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (BONNIE), LOCATED SOUTH OF JAVA, HAS
TRACKED WESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON 121130Z8 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RECENT
MICROWAVE IMAGERY. THE INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 AND 55 KNOTS. A 121039Z6 SPECIAL SENSOR
MICROWAVE IMAGE (SSMI) PASS INDICATES THAT THE DEEP CONVECTION LACKS
ORGANIZATION AND IS SHEARED WEST OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
HINDERING FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING WESTWARD
OFF OF THE WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA IS FORECAST TO REMAIN
QUASI-STATIONARY THROUGH THE PERIOD. THEREFORE, TC 22S SHOULD MOVE IN
A WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD DIRECTION OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. THE FORECAST
TRACK IS BASED ON A NWP BLEND USING NOGAPS, UK-MET SPECTRAL, NCEP
AVN, TLAPS, AND GFDN. TC 22S SHOULD INTENSIFY AT A LESS THAN
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AS IT REMAINS NORTH OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS
AND ENCOUNTERS EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR THROUGH THE PERIOD.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 121200Z6 IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS
AT 130300Z7 AND 131500Z0.//
