RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
180 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 10.9S0 101.3E5 TO 13.5S9 95.7E1
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 060830Z7 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 11.1S3 101.1E3. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 06 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 10.5S6 100.9E0 IS NOW
LOCATED NEAR 11.1S3 101.1E3, APPROXIMATELY 255 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF
THE COCOS ISLANDS. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS AN INCREASE IN
ORGANIZATION OF THE DEEP CONVECTION NEAR THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC) WITH A DEVELOPING BAND IN THE SOUTHERN QUADRANT. THE
060000Z6 200 MB ANAL REVEALED THAT THE AREA IS UNDERNEATH THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS AN
APPROACHING MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO THE SOUTHWEST WHICH SHOULD
ENHANCE POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. A RECENT QUIKSCAT
PASS INDICATED 20 TO 25 KNOT WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LLCC. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 1005 MB. BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN
CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION AND MORE FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT,
THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS NOW GOOD.

070300Z0 POSITION NEAR 12.6S9 97.7E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 21S HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN ABOUT
76 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF COCOS ISLAND. TC 21S HAS TRACED WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON 062330Z4 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE
CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS.
SATELLITE ANIMATION AND RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY DEPICT SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC). A MID-LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD OFF OF THE
WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA IS EXPECTED TO INFLUENCE THE TRACK THROUGH
THE PERIOD. AVAILABLE NWP (NOGAPS, UKMET SPECTRAL, AND AVN) WERE
USED AS THE BASIS OF OUR FORECAST. TC 21S SHOULD CONTINUE TO
INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS BENEATH A

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 21S (DIANNE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 400 NM
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN, HAS
TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 081130Z3 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY.
THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 77 AND 90 KNOTS. EARLIER VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY
REVEALED A DEVELOPING CLOUD FILLED BANDING EYE FEATURE. ANIMATED
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES AN IMPROVED SINGLE POLEWARD OUTFLOW

MID-LEVEL RIDGE LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM. TC IS FORECAST TO
TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS BEFORE TURNING
MORE TO THE SOUTH IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACH OF A MID-LATITUDE
TROUGH. THE FORECAST IS BASED ON THE CONSENSUS OF SIX AVAILABLE NWP
MODELS (NOGAPS, UKMET SPECTRAL, NCEP AVN, TCLAPS, TLAPS, AND GFDN).
TC 21S IS EXPECTED TO REACH ITS MAXIMUM INTENSITY IN 24 TO 36 HOURS

REMARKS:
091500Z5 POSITION NEAR 18.2S1 87.7E2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 21S (DIANNE-JERY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 615
NM SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN, HAS
TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 091130Z4 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 90 AND 105 KNOTS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM HAS HAD STRONG POLEWARD
OUTFLOW DURING THE LAST 12 HOURS THAT HAS HELPED INTENSIFY THE
SYSTEM. TC 21S IS CURRENTLY SOUTH OF THE RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING ALONG
15.0S6 AND IS TRACKING TO THE SOUTHWEST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE
EASTWARD PERIPHERY MID-LEVEL RIDGE. A LOW TO MID-LEVEL RIDGE SOUTH
OF THE SYSTEM WILL PROPAGATE EASTWARD AND ENHANCE THE PERIPHERY
EASTERN RIDGE, RESULTING IN A CONTINUED TRACK TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER
THE NEXT 12 HOURS. THEREAFTER, TC 21 IS FORECAST TO TRACK POLEWARD
INTO THE WEAKNESS DEVELOPED BY THE PASSING MID-LEVEL RIDGE. THE
FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF FIVE AVAILABLE NWP MODELS
INCLUDING NOGAPS, UKMET SPECTRAL, NCEP AVN, TCLAPS, AND GFDN.
TC 21S IS EXPECTED TO REACH ITS MAXIMUM INTENSITY IN 12 HOURS AND
THEN WEAKEN SLOWLY AS IT TRACKS POLEWARD UNDER INCREASING VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 091200Z2 IS 24 FEET.

NM SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS, IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN, HAS
TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 07 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 90 AND 102 KNOTS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS BEING SHEARED IN THE SOUTHWEST
QUADRANT. A 092246Z3 TRMM PASS SUGGESTS THAT THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION IS BEING SHEARED BY UPPER LEVEL WESTERLIES. TC 21S
REMAINS SOUTH OF THE RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING ALONG 15.0S6. THE SYSTEM
IS FORECAST TO TRACK SOUTHWARD OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS AND THEN
SOUTHEASTWARD AS THE SYSTEM INTERACTS WITH MIDLATITUDE
WESTERLIES. TC 21S HAS BEGUN TO TRANSITION TO AN EXTRA-TROPICAL
SYSTEM AND IS EXPECTED TO COMPLETE TRANSITION BY 48 HOURS. THE
FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF FOUR AVAILABLE NWP MODELS
INCLUDING NOGAPS, UKMET SPECTRAL, NCEP AVN, AND GFDN. TC 21S IS

REMARKS:
101500Z7 POSITION NEAR 20.8S0 88.3E9.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 21S (DIANNE-JERY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 690
NM SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN, HAS
TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 07 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 65 KNOTS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES
THAT THERE IS NO LONGER DEEP CONVECTION IN THE WESTERN SEMICIRCLE
AND NOW OPEN CELL CUMULUS CAN BE SEEN WRAPPING INTO THE CENTER.
ADDITIONALLY, THE CIRRUS SHIELD NOW EXTENDS TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST.
THESE FACTORS SUGGEST THAT EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION IS WELL UNDER
WAY. A RECENT TRMM PASS FURTHER SUPPORTS TRANSITION BY SHOWING
THE PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. TC 21S IS
SOUTH OF THE RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING ALONG 15.5S AND UNDER MODERATE
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FROM UPPER LEVEL WESTERLIES. THE SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHWARD OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS
GUIDED BY THE PERIPHERY RIDGE TO THE EAST AND THEN TURN
SOUTHEASTWARD AS THE SYSTEM FINISHES EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION.
TC 21S WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS POLEWARD AND ENCOUNTERS
INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE FORECAST IS BASED ON A
CONSENSUS OF SIX AVAILABLE NWP MODELS INCLUDING NOGAPS, UKMET
SPECTRAL, NCEP AVN, TCLAPS, TLAPS, AND GFDN. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 101200Z4 IS 24 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 110300Z5 AND

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 21S (DIANNE-JERY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 720
NM SOUTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN, HAS
TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 09 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 102330Z9 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND
A 110000Z2 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSMI) PASS. THE CURRENT
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 65
AND 55 KNOTS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES
THAT THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS WITH DEEP
CONVECTION BEING SHEARED TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE 110000Z2 SSMI PASS ALSO INDICATES A
COMPLETELY EXPOSED LLCC. THE SSMI PASS ALSO SHOWS A LARGE BAND OF
DRY AIR TO THE NORTH BEGINNING TO WRAP INTO THE LLCC. THESE FACTORS
CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION IS WELL UNDER WAY.
THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD AND IS
EXPECTED TO COMPLETE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION IN 24 HOURS. TC 21S
WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS POLEWARD AND ENCOUNTERS
