REMARKS:
TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS. THE
WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON 181130Z4 INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THIS
SYSTEM HAS INCREASED ITS ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPED CENTRAL DEEP
CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW IS GOOD IN
THE NORTH AND EAST QUADRANTS, FAIR ELSEWHERE. TROPICAL CYCLONE
29P IS FORECAST TO MOVE GENERALLY SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL STEERING FLOW OF A WEAK
MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO
INTENSIFY SLOWLY THROUGH 24 HOURS DUE TO ITS LARGER THAN AVERAGE
SIZE THEN INTENSIFY MORE RAPIDLY AS ITS UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW
IMPROVES. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 181200Z2 IS 11 FEET.
THIS WARNING CANCELS AND SUPERSEDES THE 172255Z2 TROPICAL CYCLONE
FORMATION ALERT (WTPS21 PGTW). NEXT WARNINGS AT 190300Z3 AND
191500Z6. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 28S (FIONA) WARNINGS (WTXS31

TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 8 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 182330Z7
VISUAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
182330Z7 SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 30 KNOTS AND CONTINUITY
WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P IS TRACKING
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MID-LATITUDE STEERING
FLOW FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. AN
APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE A WEAKNESS
IN THE RIDGE BY THE 24 HOUR FORECAST POSITION WHICH WILL CAUSE A
SLIGHTLY MORE SOUTHWESTWARD MOTION TRACK. AFTER THE 36 HOUR
POSITION, THE TROUGH PASSES TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM AND
MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL GRADUALLY BUILD IN ITS WAKE. THIS WILL
CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO BE IN WEAK STEERING FLOW FROM THE 36 TO 72
HOUR POSITIONS. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AS
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR INTENSIFICATION.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 190000Z IS 12 FEET.
JUSTIFICATION: TO ADD THE SIX HOURLY WARNING TIMES AND TO CORRECT
MANOP HEADER FOR TC 28S (FIONA). NEXT WARNINGS AT 190900Z9 (DTG
190751Z3), 191500Z6 (DTG 191351Z0), 192100Z3 (DTG 191951Z6) AND

TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 7 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 190530Z8
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON 190530Z8
SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 35 KNOTS. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P
CONTINUES TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MID-
LEVEL STEERING FLOW FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THE SYSTEM SHOULD
BEGIN A GRADUAL SLOWING AND SLIGHT TURN MORE SOUTHWARD AS A MID-
LATITUDE TROUGH PASSES, WEAKENING THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. AFTER
THE 48 HOUR POSITION, THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SHOULD BEGIN TO
REBUILD AND STEER THE SYSTEM BACK TO A MORE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
TRACK. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P SHOULD INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD AS IT SHOULD REMAIN IN A REGION OF WEAK VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR AND WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. TROPICAL CYCLONE
29P HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE ORGANIZED IN THE PAST 6 HOURS.
HOWEVER, CURRENT SYNOPTIC DATA AND AN 181258Z5 SCATTEROMETER PASS
STILL INDICATE THAT THE MAXIMUM WINDS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SYSTEM=S SURROUNDING CONVECTIVE BANDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE

VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE SYSTEM WAS RELOCATED BASED ON THE
FIRST VISIBLE IMAGERY OVER THE REGION WHICH INDICATED THE SYSTEM
FURTHER EAST THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON A 192330Z8 SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 45 KNOTS AND A
192332Z0 SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 35 KNOTS. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 29P (YALI) HAS BEEN TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF MID-LEVEL STEERING FLOW FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE.
THIS RIDGE IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN THROUGH THE 48 HOUR POSITION DUE
TO THE APPROACH AND PASSAGE OF A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. THIS SHOULD
RESULT IN WEAKENED STEERING FLOW AND SLOWER MOTION THROUGH THIS
TIME PERIOD. AFTER 48 HOURS, THE NAVY=S OPERATIONAL GLOBAL MODEL
SUGGESTS THAT THE RIDGE TO THE SYSTEM=S EAST SHOULD BEGIN TO
BUILD WHICH MAY RESULT IN A MORE SOUTHWARD TRACK. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 29P (YALI) SHOULD INCREASE IN INTENSITY THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD AS IT WILL REMAIN IN AN AREA OF WEAK VERTICAL

TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P (YALI) HAS SLOWLY TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 4 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
200530Z0 VISUAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON A 200530Z0 SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 45 KNOTS. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 29P (YALI) HAS CONTINUED TO DRIFT SLOWLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
IN RESPONSE TO WEAKENED STEERING FLOW DUE TO A WEAKNESS INDUCED IN
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CAUSED BY THE PRESENT PASSAGE OF A MID-
LATITUDE TROUGH. THE STEERING FLOW SHOULD REMAIN WEAK THROUGHOUT
THE 48 HOUR POSITION. AFTER 48 HOURS, A RIDGE IS FORECASTED TO
BUILD TO THE SYSTEM'S EAST WHICH SHOULD INCREASE ITS MOVEMENT.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P (YALI) HAS BEEN SLOWLY INTENSIFYING IN THE
PAST 12 HOURS AS IT CONTINUES TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED. THIS
INTENSIFICATION SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD
AS THE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN IN AN AREA OF WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
AND WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 200600Z8 IS 13 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 201500Z8 (DTG 201355Z6),

REMARKS:
TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P (YALI) IS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 08 KNOTS.
THIS SYSTEM HAS UNDERGONE RAPID WEAKENING OVER THE PAST 03 HOURS.
THE AMENDED WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON A 221542Z6 DVORAK
SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF CI4.5 (77 KNOTS). ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN
OUTFLOW CHANNEL TO THE SOUTHWEST WITH PRONOUNCED TRANSVERSE
BANDING, INDICATIVE OF VERY STRONG WIND SPEEDS. IT IS BELIEVED
THAT THIS OUTFLOW CHANNEL RESULTED IN AN EJECTION OF EXCESS MASS
FROM THE TROPICAL CYCLONE CORE, SOMEWHAT DISPERSING THE MID- TO
UPPER-LEVEL HEAT ANOMALY. AT THE SAME TIME THIS OUTFLOW CHANNEL
INDUCED MODERATE SHEAR IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE SYSTEM,
DISRUPTING THE CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION NEAR THE SYSTEM CENTER.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P (YALI) IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY WEAKEN
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD, THOUGH REGENERATION OF CENTRAL
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO TURN TOWARD
THE SOUTHWEST AFTER 12 HOURS IN RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL
STEERING FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE DEVELOPING TO ITS SOUTH.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 221200Z7 IS 20 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 230300Z8 (230155Z6) AND 231500Z1 (231355Z9). REFER TO

LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P
(YALI) REMAINS VERY WELL ORGANIZED DESPITE MODERATE WIND SHEER
FROM THE NORTH- NORTHEAST. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING TOWARDS THE
WEST-SOUTHWEST AT 22 KNOTS, SHOWING A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
FORWARD MOTION OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION
IS BASED ON 232330Z3 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON A SATELLITE DERIVED CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATE OF 55 KNOTS. THIS INTENSITY IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST DUE TO A RE-EVALUATION OF THE VISIBLE
IMAGERY AND THE SYSTEM'S INCREASE IN FORWARD MOTION. THIS
SYSTEM HAS SHOWN NO SIGNS OF INTENSIFICATION. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 29P IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON A MOSTLY WESTWARD TRACK
THROUGH THE 24 HOUR PERIOD AS IT IS STEERED BY THE HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO SLOW
AND TURN TOWARDS THE SOUTH BETWEEN THE 24 AND 36 HOUR PERIODS
DUE TO A PASSING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. ADDITIONALLY, THE HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE TO THE SOUTH IS EXPECTED TO BUILD TOWARDS THE
NORTH AND EAST WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE SYSTEM'S POLEWARD
MOVEMENT. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY WEAKEN
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD AS IT ENTERS AN AREA WITH
COLDER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. ADDITIONALLY, THE SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO ENTER AN AREA OF INCREASED WIND SHEER AS THE MID-
LATITUDE TROUGH PASSES THROUGH THE AREA. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 240000Z6 IS 19 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 241500Z2

(YALI) IS MOVING TOWARDS THE WEST-SOUTHWEST AND HAS INCREASED
ITS FORWARD MOTION SLIGHTLY TO 12 KNOTS. THE WARNING POSITION
IS BASED ON 242330Z4 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY AND CURRENT WIND RADII ARE BASED ON 241208Z7
SCATTEROMETER IMAGERY. ADDITIONALLY, ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY INDICATES AN UPPER-LEVEL CYCLONIC CIRCULATION HAS
FORMED ABOVE TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P. DESPITE THE LACK OF UPPER-
LEVEL SUPPORT FOR THIS SYSTEM, TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P HAS
MAINTAINED ITS INTENSITY AND ORGANIZATION OVER THE PAST 12
HOURS. THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY REMAINS THE SAME AS THE SYSTEM
IS STEERED BY THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE TO THE EAST. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 29P IS FORECAST TO TURN MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH AT THE
24 HOUR PERIOD AS AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH PASSES
THROUGH THE AREA. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 250000Z7
IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 251500Z3 (DTG 251355Z1) AND

REMARKS:
251500Z3 POSITION 26.1S9 159.9E4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P (YALI) HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT
07 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED
UPON A 251130Z ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON A SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 35 KNOTS
AND CONTINUITY FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING. THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO
BE VERY LARGE IN SIZE AND IS INFLUENCING THE TRACK OF TROPICAL
CYCLONE 30P (NATHAN) TO ITS NORTHWEST. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P
(YALI) SHOULD CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD DURING THE NEXT 12
HOURS THEN TURN MORE SOUTHWARD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. THIS MOTION IS IN RESPONSE TO MID LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE
LOCATED TO THE SOUTHEAST AND AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH
LOCATED OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA. THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO BE A
TIGHTLY WRAPPED EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH VERY
LITTLE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THE SYSTEM SHOULD CONTINUE
TO REMAIN THIS WAY WITH COOL SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR CAUSING SLOW WEAKENING TO OCCUR THROUGHOUT
THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 251200Z
IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 260300Z1 (DTG 260155Z9) AND 261500Z4
(DTG 261355Z2). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 30P (NATHAN) WARNINGS

REMARKS:
260300Z1 POSITION 26.0S8 158.2E6.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P (YALI) IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS. THE
WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON A 252330Z5 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY
AND A 251855Z6 MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE WARNING INTENSITY OF 45 KNOTS
IS BASED ON A SATELLITE-DERIVED INTENSITY ESTIMATE USING VISUAL IMAGERY
AND THE PATTERN OF THE LOW LEVEL CLOUD FEATURES. TC 29P (YALI) IS A BROAD
AREA WITH AN EXPOSED, TIGHTLY-WRAPPED, LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION WITH LITTLE
TO NO CONVECTION NEAR ITS CENTER. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
TRACKING WESTWARD THROUGH THE 24-HOUR FORECAST POSITION AND THEN TURN
SOUTHWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST
AND THE APPROACHING SHORT-WAVE TO THE SOUTHWEST. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P
(YALI) IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WEAKENING THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD
DUE TO COOL SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 260000Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS
AT 261500Z4 (DTG 261355Z2) AND 270300Z2 (DTG 270155Z0). REFER TO TROPICAL

REMARKS:
REANALYSIS OF 261130Z3 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES
TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P (YALI) IS MOVING SOUTHWARD AT 07 KNOTS.
THIS AMENDED WARNING POSITION IS SUPPORTED BY EXTRAPOLATION OF
261241Z6 SCATTEROMETER DATA. WARNING INTENSITY REMAINS UNCHANGED
BUT WIND RADII HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED FOR THE SCATTEROMETER DATA.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES PERSISTENT DEEP
CONVECTION REMAINS OVER 70 NM SOUTH OF THE EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER AND IS BEING VERTICALLY SHEARED. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 29P (YALI) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE MOVING SOUTHWARD
THROUGH 24 HOURS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A MID-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE
TO ITS EAST. AFTER 24 HOURS THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO RECURVE
TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST AND ENTER AN AREA OF STRONG VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR. TROPICAL CYCLONE 29P (YALI) IS ANTICIPATED TO DISSIPATE AS
A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE AT THE 36 HOUR FORECAST POSITION
DUE TO STRONG WESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND COOLER SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 261200Z1 IS 15
FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 270300Z2 (DTG 270155Z) AND 271500Z5 (DTG
