SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 022221Z MAR 07//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
100 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 13.3S 131.9E TO 13.7S 127.9E
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 IM-
AGERY, SYNOPTIC DATA AND RADAR DATA AT 022030Z INDICATE THAT A
CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 13.4S 131.1E. THE SYSTEM IS
MOVING WESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 12.9S
131.5E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 13.4S 131.1E, APPROXIMATELY 60 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA. RECENT INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND
SYNOPTIC OBSERVATIONS SHOW DEEP CONVECTION FLARING ON THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. ANIMATED
RADAR IMAGERY FROM KATHERINE, AUSTRALIA INDICATES THAT THE
CIRCULATION REMAINS OVER LAND BUT IS CONTINUING TO TRACK WESTWARD
TOWARDS THE TIMOR SEA. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS FAVORABLE OUTFLOW
ALOFT, BUT MODERATE AND DECREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SUS-
TAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 997 MB. DUE TO THE DECREASING
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND THE EXPECTED TRACK OVER WATER, THE POTENTIAL
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT
24 HOURS IS GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
032230Z.//

031500Z POSITION NEAR 14.3S 129.0E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 17S (NONAME), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 145 NM
SOUTHWEST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT
07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT RADAR IMAGERY FROM DARWIN,
AUSTRALIA AND A 031129Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE INDICATE THAT THE
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER HAS MOVED INTO THE EASTERN JOSEPH
BONAPARTE GULF. TC 17S HAS TRACKED GENERALLY SOUTHWESTWARD OVER
WESTERN ARNHEM LAND OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS UNDER THE STEERING
INFLUENCE OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ANCHORED OVER CENTRAL AUSTRALIA.
THE STORM IS FORECAST TO TURN WESTWARD AS THIS RIDGING REORIENTS
AND A SECOND SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ANCHORED WEST OF AUSTRALIA EXERTS
A STRONGER STEERING INFLUENCE DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE
SYSTEM REMAINS NORTH OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS UNDER MODERATE
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, BUT IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY DUE TO GOOD
POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW AND DECREASING VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AS THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BECOMES MORE FAVORABLE DURING
THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. THE STORM WILL INTENSIFY OVER WARM WATER
THROUGH TAU 12 BEFORE CROSSING AND WEAKENING SLIGHTLY OVER THE
NORTHERN KIMBERLY COAST. TC 17S IS THEN EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT
A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AFTER REEMERGING OVER WATER BETWEEN TAU 24
AND TAU 36. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A,

REMARKS:
040300Z POSITION NEAR 14.5S 128.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 17S (GEORGE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
175 NM SOUTHWEST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-
WARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED
RADAR IMAGERY FROM WYNDHAM, AUSTRALIA AND A 032319Z SSMI
IMAGE SHOW THAT A WELL DEVELOPED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC) CONTINUES TO TRACK WESTWARD ACROSS THE JO-
SEPH BONAPARTE GULF. TC 17S WILL TRACK WESTWARD UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHWEST.
TC 17S WILL MAINTAIN INTENSITY AS THE LLCC CROSSES THE EX-
TREME NORTHERN KIMBERLY COAST. AFTER TAU 12, THE SYSTEM WILL
RESUME INTENSIFICATION AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 040000Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 041500Z AND

REMARKS:
051500Z POSITION NEAR 14.4S 123.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 17S (GEORGE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 480 NM
NORTHEAST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 05
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN SLOW TO REORGANIZE
IN THE 12 HOURS SINCE IT HAS MOVED BACK OVER WATER. HOWEVER, RECENT
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 051139Z SSMI PASS INDICATE
THAT THE SYSTEM IS FINALLY BEGINNING TO RE-INTENSIFY. UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT TC 17S IS LOCATED TO THE WEST OF A 200 MB
ANTICYCLONE AND HAS LOST A PREVIOUSLY STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW
CHANNEL, ALTHOUGH EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW PERSISTS. IN ADDITION, THE
SYSTEM IS ENCOUNTERING MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, WHICH IS ALSO
INHIBITING A MORE RAPID INTENSIFICATION. THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO
TRACK WESTWARD AS IT IS STEERED BY THE STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO
ITS SOUTH. THIS WESTWARD TRACK WILL PERSIST UNTIL TAU 36, AT WHICH
TIME THE STORM WILL BEGIN TO TAKE A SLIGHT SOUTHWESTWARD TURN AS A
DEEP MIDLATITUDE TROUGH OFF THE WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA WILL BEGINS
TO IMPINGE ON THE STEERING RIDGE. THE MODERATE SHEAR ENVIRONMENT AND
LACK OF A POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL WILL TEMPER INTENSIFICATION
FOR THE FIRST 24-36 HOURS. AS THE MIDLATITUDE TROUGH APPROACHES NEAR
THE END OF THE FORECAST PERID A POLWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL WILL RE-
ESTABLISH. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 051200Z IS 17 FEET.

REMARKS:
060300Z POSITION NEAR 14.6S 121.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 17S (GEORGE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 395 NM
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD
AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 17S CONTINUES TO TRACK
GENERALLY WESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE ANCHORED ON THE WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA. THIS MOTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TAU 36. THEREAFTER, A MIDLATITUDE
TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST IS FORECAST TO INDUCE A
WEAKNESS IN THE STEERING RIDGE AND ALLOW THE STORM TO TAKE A
POLEWARD TURN BETWEEN TAU 36 AND TAU 48. TC 17S HAS MAINTAINED
INTENITY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS IN RESPONSE TO THE COMPETING
INFLUENCES OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND FAVORABLE EQUATOR-
WARD OUTFLOW. HOWEVER, THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT A
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH TAU 36 AS IT MOVES INTO A LOWER VER-
TICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
TO THE SOUTH AND WEST. ENHANCED POLEWARD OUTLFLOW INDUCED BY THE
APPROACHING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH WILL ALLOW THE STORM TO INTENSIFY
MORE RAPIDLY BETWEEN TAU 36 AND TAU 48, AS THE CURRENT FORECAST
REFLECTS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 060000Z IS 22 FEET.

REMARKS:
061500Z POSITION NEAR 14.8S 120.3E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 17S (GEORGE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 355 NM
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD
AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 17S CONTINUES TO TRACK
GENERALLY WESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE ANCHORED OVER THE WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA. THIS MOTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TAU 36. A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH APPROACH-
ING FROM THE SOUTHWEST IS FORECAST TO INDUCE A WEAKNESS IN THE
STEERING RIDGE, WHICH WILL ALLOW THE STORM TO TAKE A POLEWARD
TURN AND TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD AROUND THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. TC 17S HAS DECREASED IN INTENSITY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS
AS IT CONTINUES TO RE-ORGANIZE AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE
SYSTEM REMAINS MODERATE. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR HAS DECREASED OVER
THE PAST 12 HOURS AND THE STORM CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE FAVORABLE
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. DUE TO AN IMPROVING UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT
THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH
TAU 36. AFTER TAU 36, THE SYSTEM WILL INTENSIFY AT A SLIGHTLY
GREATER THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE AS IT MOVES INTO A LOW VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT AND THE APPROACHING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH
INDUCES GREATER POLEWARD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 061200Z IS 20 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 070300Z AND 071500Z.//

071500Z POSITION NEAR 16.0S 118.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 17S (GEORGE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 275 NM
NORTH OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT
04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 17S HAS SLOWED AND TRACKED
IN A MORE SOUTHWARD DIRECTION DUE TO A SLIGHT FLATTENING OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ANCHORED OVER SOUTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA. AS THE
RIDGE CONTINUES TO RE-ORIENT ITSELF, THE SYSTEM WILL RESUME A
A SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK AND ITS FORWARD SPEED WILL INCREASE
THROUGH TAU 36. AFTER THIS TIME, TC 17S WILL BEGIN TO SLOW AND
TURN INCREASINGLY SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARD A WEAKNESS IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CREATED BY A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH THAT IS CUR-
RENTLY TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE STORM. TC 17S HAS INTENSIFIED
AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. THE SYSTEM
IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE
THROUGH TAU 48 AS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR REMAINS LOW AND POLEWARD
OUTFLOW INCREASES. THE INTENSITY WILL REMAIN CONSTANT FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMP-
ERATURES OFFSET THE FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS. MAXIMUM

REMARKS:
072100Z POSITION NEAR 17.2S 118.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 17S (GEORGE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 210 NM
NORTH OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 10 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 17S HAS ACCELERATED AND TURNED SOUTHWARD
DUE TO A WEAKENING OF THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE ANCHORED OVER
SOUTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA BY AN APPROACHING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH. THE
STORM IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN A SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK AROUND
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING RIDGE THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. AN UPPER LEVEL CYCLONE TO THE WEST IS EXPECTED TO IMPROVE
OUTFLOW AND ALLOW FOR INTENSIFICATION TO CONTINUE AT A CLIMATOLOGI-
CAL RATE THROUGH TAU 24. AFTER TAU 24, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
TRACK OVER LAND AND DISSIPATE. THE FORECAST TRACK IS BASED UPON A
FAIR CONSENSUS OF THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 071800Z IS 25 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 080900Z, 081500Z
AND 082100Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 18S (JACOB) WARNINGS
(WTXS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.//
