REMARKS:
020900Z1 POSITION NEAR 14.2S7 107.1E9.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 21S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 640 NM NORTHWEST OF
LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 10 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 020530Z0
VISIBLE AND ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30
KNOTS AND A 020006Z8 TRMM PASS. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND
RECENT MICROWAVE DATA INDICATE IMPROVED ORGANIZATION OVER THE PAST 6
HOURS. TC 21S IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A LOW TO MID-
LEVEL NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
INTENSIFY SLOWLY THROUGH 24 TO 36 HOURS WHILE IN A MODERATELY
FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT. THE DYNAMIC AIDS CONSIST OF UKMET
(EGRR) AND NOGAPS. UKMET TRACKED THE SYSTEM FASTER WITHIN THE
MONSOON TROUGH. THE FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND OF EGRR, NOGAPS,
AND THE MEDIUM BETA ADVECTION MODEL. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 020600Z8 IS 15 FEET. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A,

OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 021730Z3
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 021421Z0 SSM/I PASS. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF 30 KNOTS AND THE SSM/I PASS. MIROWAVE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A
GOOD CIRCULATION, HOWEVER ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THE
DEEP CONVECTION HAS WEAKENED OVER THE LAST 6 HOURS. TC 21S IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE FORECAST
PERIOD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A LOW TO MID-LEVEL NEAR
EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH. THE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN WEAK DUE TO
POOR UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW CONDITIONS THROUGH 24 HOURS, ATERWARDS, TC
21S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY AS THE OUTFLOW CONDITIONS
IMPROVE. THE DYNAMIC AIDS CONSIST OF UKMET (EGRR) AND NOGAPS. THE

NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 06 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 031730Z4
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS TC 21S TO BE A SMALL, RELATIVELY
SYMMETRIC SYSTEM. TC 21S HAS MAINTAINED INTENSITY AT A STEADY STATE
OVER THE PAST 12 TO 24 HOURS, WITH THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) HIDDEN UNDER THE CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO). RECENT SPECIAL
SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER (SSM/I) PASSES INDICATE THAT TC 21S IS BEING
HAMPERED IN FURTHER DEVELOPMENT BY THE ENTRAINMENT OF RELATIVELY DRY
AIR FROM THE SOUTHWEST, AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW IS BEING RESTRICTED
BY THE NUMEROUS ISLANDS THAT COMPRISE INDONESIA TO THE NORTH. TC 21S
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE NEXT
24 TO 36 HOURS UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A LOW TO MID-LEVEL
NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH, THEN MORE POLEWARD THEREAFTER IN
RESPONSE TO INTERACTION WITH A DEVELOPING WEAK LOW TO THE SOUTHWEST.

050300Z8 POSITION NEAR 15.6S2 114.7E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 21S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 405 NM NORTH OF
LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED EAST SOUTHEASTWARD AT 08 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 042330Z2
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS THAT TC 21S HAS DECREASED IN
AREAL SIZE, AND ASSOCIATED DEEP CONVECTION HAS DECREASED OVER THE
PAST 6 HOURS. TC 21S CONTINUES TO ENTRAIN RELATIVELY DRY AIR FROM
THE AUSTRALIAN CONTINENT, WHILE INFLOW REMAINS RESTRICTED BY THE
INDONESIAN ISLANDS NORTH OF THE SYSTEM. TC 21S IS FORECAST TO TRACK
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE NEXT 12 HOURS BEFORE TURNING SHARPLY
POLEWARD AND ULTIMATELY REVERSING COURSE TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST INTO
A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. AFTER MAKING THE TURN POLEWARD,
TC 21S SHOULD INTENSIFY GRADUALLY IN A MORE FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL
ENVIRONMENT. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, AVN,
GFDN, AND UKMET OFFICE (EGRR) ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT. THIS
FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF NOGAPS, GFDN, AND EGRR. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 050000Z5 IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
050900Z4, 051500Z1, 052100Z8 AND 060300Z9.

REMARKS:
081500Z4 POSITION NEAR 20.5S7 112.0E4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 21S (HARRIET), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 155 NM
NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
081130Z3 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY
IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS.
ANIMATED INFRARED AND WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOW THAT WEAK
CONVECTION PERSISTS OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. TC 21S IS
FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD AS IT APPROACHES THE
MID-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS AND ENCOUNTERS INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
CONDITIONS. THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF SHEAR AND COOLER SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES (SST) ARE EXPECTED TO CAUSE DISSIPATION OF THE SYSTEM
OVER WATER. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, GFDN,
UKMET OFFICE (EGRR), NCEP AVIATION, TLAPS, AND TCLAPS ARE IN GO0D
AGREEMENT. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND OF THE AVAILABLE AIDS
AND PERSISTENCE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 081200Z1 IS 14
FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 090300Z2. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 23S
(KALUNDE) WARNINGS (WTXS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. RELEASED

REMARKS:
090300Z2 POSITION NEAR 21.3S6 110.7E9.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 21S (HARRIET), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 295 NM
WEST-NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT
08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
082330Z6 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY
IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 KNOTS.
ANIMATED INFRARED AND WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOW SOME WEAK
CONVECTION OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER, BUT THE SYSTEM IS
STILL VERY SMALL IN AREAL SIZE. TC 21S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD, THEN SOUTH, PARALLEL TO THE AUSTRALIA COAST
IN RESPONSE TO A MID-LATITUDE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING
SOUTHWEST AUSTRALIA FROM THE INDIAN OCEAN. THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF
SHEAR, AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS SOUTH, AND COOLER SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES (SST) ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN TC 21S SIGNIFICANTLY OVER
WATER AS THE REMNANTS CONTINUE SOUTHWARD. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC
AIDS, CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, GFDN, UKMET OFFICE (EGRR), NCEP
AVIATION, AND THE AUSTRALIA BOM MODELS (TLAPS AND TCLAPS) ARE IN
CLOSE AGREEMENT. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF THE
AVAILABLE AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 090000Z9 IS 11
FEET. 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. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 23S
(KALUNDE) WARNINGS (WTXS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 24S WARNINGS (WTXS33 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY
UPDATES.
