1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
160 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 6.1S7 97.8E4 TO 7.9S6 93.3E5
WITHIN THE NEXT 03 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 050600Z1 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 6.4S0 97.5E1. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT
04 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
INCREASED DEEP CONVECTION SHEARED WEST OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). A RECENT QUIKSCAT PASS INDICATES 30 KNOT WINDS EAST
OF THE SYSTEM, WHILE SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE 25 TO
30 KNOTS. 200 MB ANALYSIS SHOWS THE AREA IS EQUATORWARD OF THE RIDGE
AXIS IN MODERATE EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. UW CIMSS CHARTS
REVEAL FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE OVER THE AREA. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1003 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS NOW GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY

REMARKS:
092100Z2 POSITION NEAR 7.1S8 96.4E9.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 24S (ERROL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 300 NM
NORTH OF THE COCOS ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN, HAS TRACKED
WESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS
BASED ON 091739Z0 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 TO 35 KNOTS.
RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY INDICATES INCREASING
CONVECTION SHEARED TO THE WEST OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC). A RECENT QUICKSCAT PASS REVEALS WINDS UP TO 35 KNOTS TO THE
WEST OF THE LLCC. TC 24S IS FORECAST TO TRAVEL WESTWARD UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A LOW TO MID LEVEL RIDGE CURRENTLY TO THE SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM AS THE RIDGE MOVES EASTWARD. THE SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY DUE TO SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 091800Z8 IS 18 FEET. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS

INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 TO 35 KNOTS. A RECENT QUICKSCAT PASS
REVEALED WINDS UP TO 35 KNOTS WEST OF THE LLCC. ANIMATED IMAGERY
INDICATES DECREASED DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. TC 24S
IS FORECAST TO TRACK SLOWLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AS THE LOW TO MID

REMARKS:
122100Z6 POSITION NEAR 7.6S3 94.3E6.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 24S (ERROL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 300 NM
NORTH-NORTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN,
WAS TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6
HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 121730Z4 ENHANCED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 AND 45 KNOTS. RECENT MICROWAVE
IMAGERY DEPICTS THE DEEP CONVECTION DISPLACED TO THE SOUTHWEST OF
THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES INCREASING DEEP CONVECTION IN THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT
OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. TC 24S IS FORECAST TO TRACK SLOWLY
SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARD A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. OUR
FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND OF THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS,
INCLUDING NOGAPS, UK MET GLOBAL, AVIATION, GFDN, AND THE BUREAU OF
METEOROLOGY TCLAPS AND TLAPS MODELS. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO
INTENSIFY AT A SLIGHTLY LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 121800Z2 IS 15 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 130900Z3 AND 132100Z7.//

REMARKS:
132100Z7 POSITION NEAR 8.9S7 96.0E5. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 24S (ERROL) HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT
02 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS AND IS NOW LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 211
NM MILES TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30
AND 35 KNOTS. SATELLITE ANIMATION AND A 131515Z6 MICROWAVE IMAGE
DEPICTS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH
DECREASING CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH. TC 24S IS FORECAST TO TRACK
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE
OF A LOW TO MID LEVEL PERIPHERY RIDGE TO THE EAST. TC 24S IS FORECASTED
TO DISSIPATE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS IT TRACKS INTO AN INCREASING
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. THE AVAILABLE AIDS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT AND INCLUDE NOGAPS, UK MET GLOBAL, AVIATION, GFDN, AND THE BETA
ADVECTION MODELS. THE FORECAST IS BASED ON THE BLEND OF ALL THE AIDS.
