Tropical Cyclone Vance
WTXS21 PGTW 990317 12:30z
RMKS/
1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT MORESBY
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
200 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 12.7S0 130.9E3 TO 13.7S1
121.6E0 WITHIN THE NEXT 12 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 170830Z9 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 13.2S6 129.4E6.  THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 16 KNOTS.
3. REMARKS:
CURRENT INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES A MASS OF CONVECTION
MOVING OFF THE COAST OF NORTHERN AUSTRALIA INTO THE TIMOR SEA.
SYNOPTIC SURFACE DATA INDICATES A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER IS
EVIDENT IN THE CONVECTION.  THE AREA IS IN AN AREA OF WEAK
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND IS BELOW AN UPPERLEVEL RIDGE CENTERED OVER
TC 28S (ELAINE). THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD.
4. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 181230Z5.//

REMARKS:
181500Z5 POSITION NEAR 12.4S7 123.7E3. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 30S
HAS TRACKED WESTWARD, SOUTH OF JABIRY IN THE TIMOR SEA AT 12 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED UPON 181130Z4
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
UPON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TC 30S HAS MAINTAINED STRONG
CIRCULATION, BUT LOST ITS CENTRALIZED CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 12
HOURS. CURRENTLY IT IS DEVELOPING BANDS OF CONVECTION ABOUT THE LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. UW-CIMSS SHEAR CHARTS SHOW TC 30S IS IN
AN AREA OF WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TROPICAL CYCLONE 30S SHOULD
TRACK WESTWARD AND THEN SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE
OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED TO ITS SOUTH. TROPICAL CYCLONE 30S
SHOULD CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY DUE TO THE FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL
ENVIRONMENT. THE WIND RADII ARE BASED UPON A COMBINATION OF
CLIMATOLOGY FOR AN AVERAGED SIZED SYSTEM AND A 180145Z9
SCATTEROMETRY PASS DIRECTLY OVER THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 181200Z2 IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
190300Z3 (DTG 190157Z3) AND 191500Z6 (DTG 91357Z6). REFER TO

TO CONTINUE TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE
OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS SOUTHEAST, AND THEN TRACK MORE
SOUTHWARD BY THE 36 HOUR FORECAST POSITION. TROPICAL CYCLONE 30S
SHOULD CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY DUE TO THE FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL

REMARKS:
192100Z3 POSITION NEAR 15.0S6  118.4E4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 30S (VANCE) IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 8
KNOTS.  FORECAST REASONING REMAINS THE SAME.  TC30S IS BEING
STEERED BY AN ANTI-CYCLONE TO ITS SOUTHEAST.  IT WILL TURN
TOWARD THE SOUTH AS IT FOLLOWS THE FLOW AROUND THIS MID-LEVEL
HIGH.  THIS STEERING WILL BE AUGMENTED BY A MID-LATITUDE WAVE
APPROACHING
FROM THE WEST, FORCING TC30S TO RECURVE INTO THE AUSTRALIAN COAST.
INTENSIFICATION SHOULD CONTINUE AT A NORMAL RATE UNTIL LANDFALL.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 191800Z9 IS 24 FEET.

REMARKS:
220900Z3 POSITION NEAR 23.7S2 114.5E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 30S (VANCE) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE SOUTH AT 14
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS, MAKING LANDFALL IN THE SOUTHERN
EXMOUTH GULF. PREVIOUS SYNOPTIC DATA CONFIRMED THE 50 AND 35 KNOT
WIND RADII. SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES INDICATE THE
SYSTEM HAS DECREASED INTENSITY TO T5.5 (102 KNOTS). TC 30S (VANCE)
IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE DISSIPATING DUE TO INTERACTION WITH LAND.
THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO ACCELERATE SOUTHSOUTHEASTWARD, DISSIPATING
OVER LAND BY THE 24 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 220600Z0 IS 24 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 221500Z0 (DTG
221357Z0), 222100Z7 (DTG 221957Z6), AND 230300Z8 (DTG 230157Z8).//

TROPICAL CYCLONE 30S (VANCE) HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 20
KNOTS FOR THE PAST SIX HOURS. SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
INDICATE THE SYSTEM HAS DECREASED INTENSITY TO NEAR T4.0 (65
KNOTS). TC 30S (VANCE) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE RAPIDLY DISSIPATING
DUE TO INTERACTION WITH LAND AND THE ENTRAINMENT OF DRY AIR. THE
SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE ACCELERATING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AS
THE SYSTEM WEAKENS, DISSIPATING OVER LAND BY THE 24 FORECAST PERIOD.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 30S (VANCE) HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 23
KNOTS FOR THE PAST SIX HOURS OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA. THE FORECAST
POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED UPON 222330Z2 ANIMATED VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY WITH CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 55
KNOTS. TROPICAL CYCLONE 30S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO TRACK
EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AS IT DISSIPATES OVER LAND. THIS IS THE FINAL
WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER
(NAVPACMETOCCEN PH). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS
OF REGENERATION.//
