1. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY SUVA
2. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY REQ TO AMEMBASSY PORT MORESBY AND AMEMBASSY
HONIARA SOLOMON ISLANDS
3. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
100 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 13.6S0 163.7E7 TO 18.4S3 164.5E6
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 15 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT
132230Z1 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 14.4S9
163.9E9. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWARD AT 04 KNOTS.
4. REMARKS: ANIMATED VISIBLE AND INFRARED IMAGERY SHOW INCREASED
DEEP CONVECTION AND BANDING FEATURES HAVE DEVELOPED AROUND THIS
SYSTEM. SYNOPTIC DATA ALSO SUPPORTS A GOOD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
WITHIN THE CONVECTION. ANIMATION ALSO INDICATES THE SYSTEM HAS
TRACKED SOUTHWARD OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. SYNOPTIC ANALYSIS SHOWS THIS
AREA IS NORTH OF A MID-LEVEL TROUGH AND JUST WEST OF AN UPPER-LEVEL
ANTICYCLONE. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND UW-CIMMS PRODUCTS INDICATE
OUTFLOW IS GOOD AND VERTICAL WINDSHEAR IS LIGHT. THE POTENTIAL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS GOOD.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P HAS DEVELOPED IN THE EASTERN CORAL SEA WHILE
TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHEAST AT 5 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 140530Z3 VISIBLE AND INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON A SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 30 KNOTS (KWBC) AND LOW CLOUD DRIFT
MOVEMENTS OVER THE EAST QUADRANT. TC 11P HAS CONTINUED TO
ORGANIZE WITH INCREASING CONVECTION, MOSTLY WEST OF THE WELL
DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION. THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE SYSTEM
REMAINS FAVORABLE WITH GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT AND WEAK VERTICAL
SHEAR. TC 11P IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTH SOUTHEAST
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST. TC 11P IS ALSO FORECASTED TO
INTENSIFY NEAR CLIMATOLOGICALLY THROUGHOUT THE 48 HOUR PERIOD.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 140600Z IS 12 FEET. REFER TO

REMARKS:
160900Z6 POSITION NEAR 16.9S6 164.1E2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) HAS BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY OVER THE
PAST 12 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON
160530Z5 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY WITH CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF T4.5. ANIMATED VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TC 11P (DANI)
HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS AND HAS DEVELOPED A 6 NM
DIAMETER EYE. TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) IS FORECAST TO REMAIN
QUASI-STATIONARY THROUGHOUT THE NEXT 48 HOURS. CURRENTLY, TC 11P
(DANI) IS EMBEDDED IN A WEAK STEERING REGIME. THERE IS ONE MID-LEVEL
RIDGE TO ITS NORTHWEST AND ANOTHER WEAKER RIDGE TO ITS SOUTHEAST,
AND NEITHER RIDGE ARE PROVIDING A DOMINANT STEERING FORCE. IN
ADDITION, AN EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE DUE SOUTH IN THE TASMAN SEA IS
BLOCKING TC 11P (DANI) FROM FALLING UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF
THE RIDGE TO ITS SOUTHEAST. THE CYCLONIC FORECAST PATH TRIES TO
BALANCE THE AFOREMENTIONED STEERING INFLUENCES WHILE ALLOWING THE
SOUTHEAST RIDGE TO BECOME DOMINANT BY THE 48 HOUR FORECAST POSITION.
TC 11P (DANI) IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD SINCE THE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT REMAINS FAVORABLE
FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 160600Z
IS 22 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 162100Z0 (DTG 161951Z3) AND 170900Z7

REMARKS:
170900Z7 POSITION NEAR 14.1S6 163.3E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) HAS MOVED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 06
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS AND IS MAKING A SMALL CYCLONIC LOOP WEST
OF VANUATU IN THE CORAL SEA. TC 11P (DANI) HAS LOST ITS EYE FOR THE
TIME BEING AS IT MOVED INTO AN ANOTHER DISTURBANCE AREA TO ITS
NORTH. WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON A 170530Z6
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGE WITH A CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T5.5
(100 KNOTS). A MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE NORTHWEST OF TC 11P (DANI) HAS
PROVIDED THE STEERING FORCE OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. HOWEVER,
TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) IS FORECAST TO SLOW ITS FORWARD MOVEMENT
AS THE RIDGE TO THE NORTHWEST BUILDS TO THE NORTH OF THE SYSTEM. BY
THE 36 HOUR FORECAST POSITION, TC 11P (DANI) IS FORECAST TO MAKE A
U-TURN SOUTHWARD AS MID-LEVEL RIDGING TO THE NORTHEAST BUILDS SOUTH
AND TO THE EAST OF TC 11P (DANI) AND BECOMES THE DOMINANT STEERING
FORCE. TC 11P (DANI) WILL MAINTAIN INTENSITY FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS
AND THEN NOGAPS ANALYSIS INDICATES TC 11P (DANI) WILL INTENSIFY
SLIGHTLY AS IT MOVES SOUTH. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
170600Z IS 25 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 172100Z1 (DTG 171951Z4) AND
180900Z8 (DTG 180751Z2). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 12S (ALDA)

TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) IS MOVING NORTHEASTWARD AND APPEARING TO
MAKE A SMALL CYCLONIC LOOP WEST OF VANUATU. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TC 11P (DANI) HAS A WELL DEVELOPED
CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST FEATURE AND MAY REFORM AN EYE IN THE NEXT 03
TO 06 HOURS. WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON 171730Z9
INFRARED SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T5.5 (100 KNOTS). TC 11P
(DANI) CONTINUES TO BE STEERED BY THE MID LEVEL RIDGE TO ITS
NORTHWEST, HOWEVER THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE SLOWING ITS FORWARD
MOVEMENT IN RESPONSE TO A DEVELOPING MID LEVEL RIDGE TO ITS
NORTHEAST. TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) IS FORECAST TO COMPLETE THE
LOOP AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATE SOUTHWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE
STRENGTHENING RIDGE TO ITS EAST. TC 11P (DANI) IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY
INTENSIFY THROUGH 36 HOURS UNDER FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS,
THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN. AN ALTERNATE SCENARIO EXISTS IN WHICH TC 11P
(DANI) INTERACTS WITH A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE CORAL
SEA, CURRENTLY LOCATED NEAR 18S9 155E1. THIS WOULD RESULT IN TC 11P
(DANI) SLOWING BETWEEN 24 AND 36 HOURS AND WOULD TEMPORARILY CAP THE
INTENSITY OF TC 11P (DANI) AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE
SOUTHWEST ASSIMILATES INTO TC 11P (DANI)S CYCLONIC INFLOW PATTERN.
THE PROBABILITY OF THIS ALTERNATE SCENARIO IS LOW. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 171800Z7 IS 26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
180900Z8 (DTG 180751Z2) AND 182100Z2 (DTG 181951Z5). REFER TO

TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT
10 KNOTS. THE WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON 201730Z3
INFRARED SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T5.0 (90 KNOTS) AND T5.5
(100 KNOTS). TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) HAS MAINTAINED ITS
INTENSITY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AND HAS INCORPORATED INFLOW FROM A
WEAK DISTURBANCE TO ITS EAST. ADDITIONALLY, ANIMATED INFRARED AND
WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATE UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW HAS
IMPROVED AS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR GENERATED BY TROPICAL CYCLONE 13P TO
ITS WEST HAS DECREASED. UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW IS NOW GOOD IN ALL
QUADRANTS EXCEPT THE SOUTHWEST WHERE IT IS FAIR. TROPICAL CYCLONE
11P (DANI) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER
THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO ITS EAST. TC 11P
(DANI) IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY IN RESPONSE TO WEAKENING
SHEAR, THEN SLOWLY DECREASE IN INTENSITY AFTER 36 HOURS AS IT MOVES
OVER COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 2018001 IS 27 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 210900Z2 (DTG
210751Z6) AND 212100Z6 (DTG 211951Z9). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 13P

REMARKS:
212100Z6 POSITION NEAR 25.5S2 172.1E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) IS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 15 KNOTS. A
MID-LEVEL RIDGE EAST OF THIS SYSTEM IS PROVIDING THE DOMINANT
ENVIRONMENTAL STEERING FLOW. TC 11P (DANI) CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AND
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
FROM TC 13P TO THE WEST IS CONTRIBUTING TO THIS WEAKENING TREND. THE
WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON A 211730Z4 INFRARED
SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T4.5 (75 KNOTS) ADJUSTED BY 211140Z9
SCATTEROMETER DATA. TROPICAL CYCLONE 11P (DANI) IS FORECAST TRACK
SOUTHEASTWARD AROUND THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS. TC 11P (DANI) IS
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN SLOWLY THROUGH 36 HOURS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FROM TC 13P AND THE EFFECT OF COOLER SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURE. AFTER 36 HOURS IT IS ANTICIPATED TO MAINTAIN ITS
INTENSITY AS IT COMPLETES TRANSITION INTO AN EXTRATROPICAL SYSTEM
AND ACCELERATES TOWARD THE EAST-SOUTHEAST. WIND RADII HAVE BEEN
ADJUSTED BASED ON THE 211140Z9 SCATTEROMETER DATA. MAXIMUM
