SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
140 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 12.2S 136.2E TO 16.0S 137.6E
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 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT
271530Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 13.1S
136.7E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 10 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 10.0S
133.8E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 13.1S 136.7E, APPROXIMATELY 345 NM
EAST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND RADAR IMAGERY FROM GOVE, AUSTRALIA SHOW DEEP CONVECTIVE
BANDING AROUND A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE LLCC IS
LOCATED JUST OFF THE COAST OF NORTHERN AUSTRALIA IN THE GULF OF
CARPENTARIA, WHICH HAS HIGH SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, FAVORABLE FOR
DEVELOPMENT. THE INITIAL INTENSITY WAS BASED ON PGTW DVORAK
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS AND OBSERVATIONS FROM NORTHEAST
ISLAND INDICATING 27 KNOTS WITH 1005 MB. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS
THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED BENEATH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS WITH GOOD
RADIAL OUTFLOW AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 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 IS
GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
281700Z.//

272100Z POSITION NEAR 13.1S 136.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22P (TWENTYTWO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 340 NM
EAST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADAR
IMAGERY FROM GOVE, AUSTRALIA SHOW INCREASED CONVECTIVE BANDING
AROUND A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE LLCC IS LOCATED
JUST OFF THE COAST OF NORTHERN AUSTRALIA IN THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA.
THE INITIAL INTENSITY WAS BASED ON PGTW, KNES, AND ADRM DVORAK
ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS THE SYSTEM IS
LOCATED BENEATH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS WITH GOOD RADIAL OUTFLOW
AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 22P IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN A WEAK
STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND IS SLOWLY TRACKING SOUTHWARD UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE. TC 22P SHOULD BEGIN TO TURN
SOUTHWEST AND WESTWARD AS A SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE TO THE SOUTH
BUILDS IN. AS TC 22P CONTINUES TRACKING OVER THE WARM WATERS OF THE
GULF OF CARPENTARIA, IT IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY UNTIL REACHING LAND
BY TAU 48 AND BEGIN DISSIPATING AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
AFTER TAU 72. AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS SPREAD DUE TO
THE WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT, HOWEVER, THIS FORECAST IS IN
AGREEMENT WITH THE MODELS INCLUDING GFDN, EGRR, AND NOGAPS, WHICH
TURN THE SYSTEM WESTWARD. THE GFS AND WBAR MODELS TRACK TC 22P
SOUTHEASTWARD AND SOUTHWARD, RESPECTIVELY, BECAUSE THEY FORECAST A
WEAKER SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE THAT THE OTHER MODELS. THIS

280900Z POSITION NEAR 13.3S 136.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22P (PAUL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 330 NM
EAST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 02 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE AND RADAR
IMAGERY FROM GOVE, AUSTRALIA SHOW ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE BANDING
AROUND A WELL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE
CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON RADAR ANIMATION AND THE CURRENT
INTENSITY IS EXTRAPOLATED FROM A SURFACE OBSERVATION OF 36 KNOTS FROM
NORTHEAST ISLAND, 38 NM TO THE SOUTH OF THE LLCC. UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS UNDER THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS
WITH GOOD RADIAL OUTFLOW AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 22P IS
CURRENTLY IN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND IS SLOWLY TRACKING
SOUTHWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE. TC 22P
SHOULD BEGIN TO TURN SOUTHWESTWARD AS A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
SOUTH BUILDS IN AND STEERS THE SYSTEM. PAUL IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY
SLIGHTLY AS IT DRIFTS ACROSS THE WARM WATERS OF THE GULF OF
CARPENTARIA BEFORE IT MAKES LANDFALL NEAR BLUE MUD BAY BY TAU 24 AND
EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER LAND BY
TAU 48. THE AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS SPREAD DUE TO THE
WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT. THIS FORECAST IS TO THE SOUTH OF CONSENSUS

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22P (PAUL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 340 NM EAST
OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS BEEN QUASI-STATIONARY OVER THE PAST SIX
HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY AND A RADAR LOOP FROM GOVE,
AUSTRALIA SHOW DEEPENING CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING TIGHTLY AROUND
A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITHIN THE PAST 12 HOURS.
INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON NORTHEAST ISLAND OBSERVATIONS,
APPROXIMATELY 30 NM AWAY FROM THE LLCC, OF 38 KNOTS AND 997 MB.
UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES TC 22P IS LOCATED BENEATH AN AREA OF
DIVERGENCE AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, WITH GOOD RADIAL OUTFLOW.
PAUL IS CURRENTLY TRACKING IN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN A
NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE AND A LOW- TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
(STR) TO THE SOUTH. AS THE STR BUILDS IN AND TAKES STEERING CONTROL,
TC 22P IS FORECAST TO TURN SOUTHWESTWARD AND CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY
AS IT TRACKS OVER THE WARM WATER OF THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA. PAUL IS
EXPECTED TO REACH LAND BY TAU 32 AND BEGIN DISSIPATING AS A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE BY TAU 48. AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL

REMARKS:
292100Z POSITION NEAR 13.2S 135.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22P (PAUL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 285 NM EAST
OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS MOVED SLOWLY NORTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED (IR) SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
RADAR LOOP FROM GOVE, AUSTRALIA, SHOW WEAKENING CONVECTION AROUND
THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 291640Z AMSRE MICROWAVE
IMAGE INDICATES THAT THE MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE, PREVIOUSLY APPARENT
IN THE 290832Z SSMI IMAGE, HAS ERODED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SYSTEM
MAKING LANDFALL WITHIN THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE AMSRE IMAGE ALSO SHOWS
SPIRAL BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC FROM THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST.
UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS IN A FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT WITH WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, GOOD DIFFLUENCE ALOFT,
AND ENHANCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING
MIDLATITUDE TROUGH TO THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. THE CURRENT INTENSITY
IS BASED ON A DVORAK ESTIMATE FROM ADRM (65 KNOTS) AND THE STRENGTH
OF THE SATELLITE SIGNATURE IN IR. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE
POSITION BASED ON THE RADAR LOOP FROM GOVE, AUSTRALIA. TC 22P IS
CURRENTLY QUASISTATIONARY OVER LAND IN A COMPETING STEERING
ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE NORTHEAST
AND THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTHWEST. TC PAUL IS
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS IT DRIFTS SLOWLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TO
SOUTHWARD BETWEEN TAU 12 AND TAU 48. BETWEEN TAU 48 AND TAU 72 TC
PAUL IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD, AS THE NER
STRENGTHENS TO THE NORTHEAST, AND DISSIPATE OVER LAND AS A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE. HOWEVER, IF THE SYSTEM CONTINES TO
TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA, TC PAUL COULD
REGENERATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE. NUMERICAL MODEL
GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GFDN AND NOGAPS,
WHICH TRACK THE SYSTEM WESTWARD INTO THE STR. THE CURRENT FORECAST
REPRESENTS A CHANGE IN TRACK PHILOSOPHY AND FAVORS A TRACK EAST OF
CONSENSUS, TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE OUTLIERS, AT SLIGHTLY SLOWER TRACK
SPEEDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 291800Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT

300900Z POSITION NEAR 13.3S 135.0E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22P (PAUL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 250 NM EAST
OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
AND THE RADAR LOOP FROM GOVE, AUSTRALIA, CONTINUE TO SHOW MULTIPLE
CONVECTIVE BANDS WRAPPING INTO THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) WITH WEAKENING DEEP CONVECTION NEAR THE SYSTEM CENTER. TC 22P
HAS BEEN OVER LAND FOR ALMOST 18 HOURS AND FRICTIONAL EFFECTS
COMBINED WITH WANING POLEWARD OUTFLOW HAVE HELPED TO WEAKEN THE
SYSTEM TO 40 KNOTS. TC PAUL IS CURRENTLY TRACKING IN A WEAK STEERING
ENVIRONMENT AND IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY MAKE A POLEWARD TURN OVER THE
NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS AND DISSIPATE OVER LAND AS A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE BY TAU 36. HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL A CHANCE THAT
THE SYSTEM COULD TRACK BACK OUT OVER THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA AND
REGENERATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE. THIS IS THE FINAL
WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER
(NAVMARFCSTCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF
REGENERATION.//
