SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 021921Z APR 00//
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 15.8S4 161.4E2 TO 13.0S4
153.4E3 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 021730Z3 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 15.3S9 160.3E0. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTH-
NORTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS.
3. REMARKS:
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF
THE CONVECTION NEAR A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). IMAGERY ALSO REVEALS THAT THE SYSTEM IS SMALL (90
NM) IN AREAL EXTENT. 200 MB ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS
MOVING UNDER THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS
UPGRADED TO GOOD.

THE SUSPECT AREA WHICH WAS UNDER A TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT
(WTPS21 PGTW 021930), WEST OF VANUATU, HAS DEVELOPED INTO TROPICAL
CYCLONE 23P. TROPICAL CYCLONE 23P, SITUATED ABOUT 820 NM EAST OF THE
QUEENSLAND COAST, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 022330Z0 VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL
IMAGERY DEPICTS A SMALL (90 NM IN AREAL COVERAGE) SYMMETRIC SYSTEM
WITH ASSOCIATED LOW-LEVEL CLOUD LINES MOVING IN TOWARD THE CENTER
FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE SYSTEM HAS MOVED BENEATH THE UPPER-LEVEL
RIDGE INDICATIVE OF IMPROVED OUTFLOW ALOFT. TC 23P IS FORECAST TO
TRACK INITIALLY, NORTHWESTWARD BEFORE TURNING WESTWARD AS THE SYSTEM
TRACKS EQUATORWARD OF THE LOW/MID LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING FROM
SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND TO NEW ZEALAND. TC 23P SHOULD INTENSIFY AT A
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AS IT CONTINUES TO TRACK BENEATH THE UPPER-LEVEL
RIDGE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 030000Z3 IS 12 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 23P, SITUATED ABOUT 688 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF
CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS DURING THE PAST
6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 031130Z8 INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY AND TWO RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY PASSES. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT TC
23P HAS INTENSIFIED SLIGHTLY OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS WITH DEEP
CONVECTION RE-DEVELOPING WEST TO NORTH OF THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). A 031058Z7 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I)
PASS DEPICTS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LLCC WITH ISOLATED DEEP CONVECTION
NORTH OF THE LLCC. TC 23P IS FORECAST TO TRACK GENERALLY WESTWARD
UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL HIGH SITUATED
SOUTHWEST OF NEW CALEDONIA. TC 23P HAS TRACKED UNDER THE UPPER-LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS, WITHIN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, AND SHOULD
INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 031200Z6 IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 040300Z7 (DTG 040153Z3) AND

EAST-NORTHEAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 11
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
032330Z1 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35

REMARKS:
060300Z9 POSITION NEAR 15.5S1 147.0E2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (VAUGHAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 133 NM
NORTHEAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS
DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 052330Z3
INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS
BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS AND
SYNOPTIC REPORTS OF 40 KNOTS. A 052132Z3 TROPICAL RAINFALL MEASURING
MISSION (TRMM) PASS DEPICTED A BROAD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) WITH ASSOCIATED CONVECTION CONFINED PRIMARILY TO THE
SOUTHWEST. A 052323Z5 SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) PASS
FAILED TO REVEAL A DISCERNABLE LLCC BUT DID INDICATE A DEVELOPING
AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION ABOUT 100 NM TO THE NORTH OF THE CURRENT
POSITION. LOW/MID LEVEL HIGH SITUATED OVER SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA IS
FORECAST TO BUILD NORTHEASTWARD DURING THE NEXT 12 HOURS AS A MID-
LATITUDE TROUGH MOVES OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. TC 23P (VAUGHAN)
SHOULD BEGIN TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD DURING THE NEXT 12 HOURS.
TC 23P IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY BEFORE MOVING ONSHORE
BETWEEN CAIRNS AND ROSSVILLE BETWEEN THE NEXT 12 TO 16 HOURS.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 060000Z6 IS 14 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 061500Z2 (DTG 061353Z8) AND 070300Z0 (DTG 070153Z6).

REMARKS:
061500Z2 POSITION NEAR 15.7S3 145.7E7.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (VAUGHAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 81 NM
NORTH OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
061130Z1 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, SYNOPTIC DATA, AND MICROWAVE
IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS RAPIDLY WEAKENING DEEP CONVECTION. A 061120Z0
SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) PASS DEPICTS EXTREMELY
SPARSE WEAK DEEP CONVECTION WITH NO CLEARLY DISCERNIBLE LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER(LLCC). THE SSM/I PASS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH
SYNOPTIC DATA, DOES SHOW SOME EVIDENCE OF THE LLCC POSITION. A
SYNOPTIC REPORT AT GREEN ISLAND WITH EASTERLY FLOW AT 15 KNOTS
INDICATES THAT THE LLCC IS NORTHWEST OF THIS STATION. THE SSM/I PASS
DOES SHOW A POSSIBLE LLCC IN THIS AREA. THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE HAS NOW
BUILT NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN CORAL SEA IN RESPONSE TO A
MIDLATITUDE TROUGH MOVING OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN AUSTRALIA COAST. THIS
WILL ALLOW TC 23P TO CONTINUE TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD. TC 23P (VAUGHAN) SHOULD MAKE LANDFALL ABOUT 71
NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF CAIRNS WITHIN THE NEXT 06-12 HOURS AND
DISSIPATE BY THE 24-HOUR POINT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
061200Z9 IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 070300Z0 (DTG 070153Z6).

REMARKS:
070300Z0 POSITION NEAR 16.4S1 143.4E2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 23P (VAUGHAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 115 NM
NORTHWEST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
062330Z4 INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SYNOPTIC. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF 25 KNOTS. TC 23P (VAUGHAN) MOVED ONSHORE OVER 12 HOURS AGO AND
WEAKENED RAPIDLY. EARLY ANIMATED IMAGERY AND MICROWAVE PASSES SHOWED
RAPID DISSIPATION OF THE CONVECTION AS THE SYSTEM MOVED OVER THE
COAST. SYNOPTIC DATA INDICATES A BROAD, WEAK, LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER OVER THE CAPE YORK PENINSULA. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON
THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN).
THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION.
