REMARKS:
232100Z8 POSITION 13.1S5  140.2E7
TROPICAL CYCLONE 12P HAS RAPIDLY FORMED IN THE GULF OF
CARPENTARIA. TC 12P IS TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 12
KNOTS. THE CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION HAS IMPROVED OVER THE
PAST 12 HOURS. SURFACE SHIP SYNOPTIC DATA IN THE GULF OF
CARPENTARIA SUPPORTS THE PRESENCE OF A CLEARLY DEFINED
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION WITH AN ESTIMATED CENTRAL PRESSURE
OF 999 MB (31 KNOTS). OUR WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
THE AVAILABLE SYNOPTIC DATA. TC 12P IS FORECAST TO
CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD AND TO INTENSIFY. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 240900Z5 (DTG 240751Z9) AND 242100Z9 (DTG
241951Z2). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 231800Z4 IS
14 FEET. JUSTIFICATION FOR COR: WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD IS
CORRECTED TO READ SOUTHEASTWARD.//

F CARPENTARIA AT 06 KNOTS. WARNING POSITION IS RELOCATED BASED ON 2405
30Z VISIBLE SATELLITE DATA. WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE SAME VIS
IBLE SATELLITE DATA. TC 12P HAS NOT SHOWN SIGNS OF SIGNIFICANT STRENGT
HENING DURING THE PAST 12 HOURS. ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THIS SYSTEM IS EXPERIENCING MODERAT
E UPPER-LEVEL WIND SHEAR FROM THE EAST WHICH IS INHIBITING INTENSIFICA
TION. THE FORECAST FOR TC 12P IS CHANGED TO REFLECT STEERING FLOW WITH
A MORE EASTERLY COMPONENT THAN PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED. TC 12P IS EXPE
CTED TO GENERALLY MOVE SOUTHWESTWARD NORTH
OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND MAKE LANDFALL NEAR THE END OF THE FORECA
ST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 240600Z IS 09 FEET. REFE

TROPICAL CYCLONE 12P (PHIL) HAS CROSSED INTO THE SOUTH
INDIAN OCEAN WARNING BASIN. AS INDICATED IN THE PREVIOUS
WARNING, TC 12P WILL NOW BE ADDRESSED BY WARNINGS UNDER

TROPICAL CYCLONE 12P (PHIL) IS CURRENTLY OFF THE
NORTHWEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA MOVING AT 06 KNOTS. WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY, SURFACE
SYNOPTIC REPORTS FROM WMO 94207 (ROWLEY SHOALS), AND A
290950Z5 MICROWAVE IMAGERY ANALYSIS BY AIR FORCE GLOBAL
WEATHER CENTRAL. THE WARNING RELOCATION WAS DRIVEN BY
THIS MICROWAVE ANALYSIS AS WELL AS THE SURFACE SYNOPTIC
DATA. CURRENT WIND RADII ARE DERIVED FROM THE ABOVE
MENTIONED MICROWAVE ANALYSIS AS WELL AS SURROUNDING
SYNOPTIC DATA. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS
MODERATE UPPER-LEVEL SHEAR ON TC 12P WHICH SHOULD ACT TO
SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS TROPICAL CYCLONE. WE EXPECT A
SLOWER THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL INTENSIFICATION RATE. TC 12P
IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD FOR THE NEXT 72
HOURS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 291200Z4 IS 21
FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 292100Z4 (DTG 291953Z9) AND

REMARKS:
300900Z2 POSITION 17.3S1  117.4E3
TROPICAL CYCLONE 12P (PHIL) IS CURRENTLY MOVING SOUTHWEST
AT 06 KNOTS. THIS WARNING IS RELOCATED BASED ON A LOW-
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER IDENTIFIED IN VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY, AS WELL AS SURFACE SYNOPTIC REPORTS FROM ROWLEY
SHOALS (WMO 94207). WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE-DERIVED INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM 30/0232Z AND
30/0530Z VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. PHIL HAS
ENCOUNTERED UPPER-LEVEL WIND SHEAR WHICH HAS SHEARED THE
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER AWAY FROM MOST OF THE DEEP
CONVECTION. ACCORDINGLY, THE FORECAST INTENSITIES HAVE
BEEN REDUCED, AND THE FORECAST TRACK HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO
REFLECT A LOWER STEERING LEVEL. PHIL IS STILL FORECAST TO
CONTINUE A GENERAL SOUTHWESTWARD MOTION THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
300600Z IS 21 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 301500Z9 (DTG
301353Z5), 302100Z6 (DTG 301953Z1), 310300Z7 (DTG

1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT LOUIS
2. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS
POSSIBLE WITHIN 120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 17.4S2
77.9E3 TO 18.5S4 73.2E2 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 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT
090530Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 17.5S3 77.1E5. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 03
KNOTS.
3. REMARKS:
THE CIRCULATION FORMERLY ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL CYCLONE
12P (PHIL) HAS BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED IN THE SOUTH
INDIAN OCEAN. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND ENHANCED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATE GOOD UPPER-LEVEL
OUTFLOW IN ALL QUADRANTS. CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON A
COMBINATION OF A 08/1741Z1 SCATTEROMETER PASS AND A
SATELLITE DERIVED DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T2.0 (30
KNOTS). THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD.
