REMARKS:
230300Z POSITION NEAR 15.6S 149.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09P (ANTHONY) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 190 NM
EAST-NORTHEASTWARD OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 11
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND RADAR FROM WILLIS ISLAND DEPICT TIGHTLY WRAPPED
CONVECTIVE BANDING. INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE IN DEEP CONVECTION WITHIN THE PAST 6 HOURS. THERE WAS FAIR
CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION BASED ON THE RADAR. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY WAS BASED ON PGTW, KNES, AND ABRF DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING
FROM 35 TO 45 KNOTS. ADDITIONALLY, NEARBY OBSERVATION STATIONS ARE
REPORTING SEA LEVEL PRESSURES AS LOW AS 997 MB. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES TC 09P IS LOCATED BENEATH THE RIDGE AXIS WITH GOOD RADIAL
OUTFLOW AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC ANTHONY IS CURRENTLY
TRACKING UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO
THE NORTH AND SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL AROUND TAU 36 WHEN A SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE TO THE SOUTH WILL STRENGTHEN AND BECOME THE DOMINANT STEERING
INFLUENCE. AT THIS TIME, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SLOW UNDER A
COMPETING STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND THEN TRACK BACK WESTWARD. TC 09P
SHOULD INITIALLY INTENSIFY DUE TO INCREASED POLEWARD OUTFLOW INTO A
MID-LATITUDE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY LOCATED TO THE SOUTH, THEN
SHOULD STEADILY INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD UNDER
FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS AND HIGH OCEAN HEAT CONTENT.
NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO
EXCEPT FOR WBAR, GFDN, AND UKMO WHICH CONTINUE TRACKING THE SYSTEM
EASTWARD. THIS IS UNLIKELY BECAUSE OF THE EXPECTED STRENGTH OF THE
STEERING RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
230000Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 231500Z AND 240300Z. REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 08P (WILMA) WARNINGS (WTPS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-
HOURLY UPDATES.//

REMARKS:
231500Z POSITION NEAR 16.7S 153.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09P (ANTHONY) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 420 NM
EAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 22 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED MICROWAVE IMAGERY AND A
231056Z AMSU MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICT TIGHTLY CURVED BANDING WRAPPING
INTO THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH ENHANCED DEEP
CONVECTION OVER THE SYSTEM CENTER. A 231057Z PARTIAL ASCAT PASS
CONFIRMS THE CURRENT POSITION WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE AND REVEALS 40
KNOT WIND BARBS NEAR THE SYSTEM CENTER. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS
BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED ASCAT PASS AND THE HIGHER END OF DVORAK
INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30 TO 55 KNOTS FROM KNES, PGTW, AND
ABRF. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS SLIGHTLY
POLEWARD OF THE RIDGE AXIS IN AN AREA OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR (20 KNOTS) AND STRONG DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. TC ANTHONY IS RAPIDLY
TRACKING EASTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE NEAR
EQUATORIAL RIDGE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR THE NEXT 24 TO 36
HOURS. AS A DEEP LAYERED SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE BUILDS TO THE
SOUTH AND BECOMES THE DOMINANT STEERING MECHANISM, TC 09P WILL
SLOWLY TURN BACK TO THE WEST AND MAINTAIN A GENERALLY WESTWARD TRACK
THROUGH TAU 120. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD AS IT CONTINUES TO TRACK ALONG HIGH SST AND OHC
VALUES AND MAINTAINS GOOD UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. NUMERICAL MODEL
GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE TURN BACK TO
THE WEST. WBAR AND GFDN REMAIN OUTLIERS, DRIVING THE SYSTEM
ERRONEOUSLY SOUTHWARD AFTER TAU 48 INTO THE BUILDING SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE. THIS FORECAST IS SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST
TRACK BUT IS CONSISTENT WITH A SLIGHT SHIFT IN MODEL TRACKERS, WHICH
ARE NOW FAVORING A LOOP TO THE SOUTH OF THE CURRENT TRACK. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 231200Z IS 15 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 240300Z AND 241500Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 08P

REMARKS:
240300Z POSITION NEAR 18.4S 157.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09P (ANTHONY) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 635 NM
EAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 22 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY INDICATES
THE DEEP CONVECTION HAS SHEARED 100 NM TO THE SOUTHEAST OF A
SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKENED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THERE
WAS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION DUE TO THE UNORGANIZED
LLCC. THE INITIAL INTENSITY WAS BASED ON PGTW, ABRF, AND KNES DVORAK
ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 35 TO 45 KNOTS. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO THE
EAST HAS DEEPENED MORE THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED AND CAUSED AN
INCREASE IN VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). WITH THE HIGH VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR, TC 09P SHOULD NOW CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE BELOW 35
KNOTS WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AFTER THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSES,
THE LOW LEVEL STEERING RIDGE TO THE SOUTH IS EXPECTED TO BUILD AND
TURN THE SYSTEM BACK WESTWARD. THE CURRENT FORECAST PHILOSOPHY HAS
CHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE ALTERNATE SCENARIO IS STILL
POSSIBLE WHERE TC 09P WILL RE-INTENSIFY AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AS SOME OF THE MODELS ARE STILL INDICATING.
HOWEVER, WITH THE CURRENT MAGNITUDE OF THE TROUGH, THIS SCENARIO IS
UNLIKELY. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 240000Z IS 13 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09P (ANTHONY) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 820 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD
AT 15 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND A 221034Z AMSU MICROWAVE PASS SHOW CONVECTIVE BANDING
WRAPPING INTO THE SYSTEM FROM THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT AND DEEP
CONVECTION BEGINNING TO RECONSOLIDATE OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES
RANGING FROM 30 TO 45 KNOTS FROM ABRF, KNES, AND PGTW, AS WELL AS A
241038Z ASCAT PASS SHOWING A WELL DEFINED LLCC WITH 35 KNOT WINDS AT
THE CENTER AND 40 KNOT WINDS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY WITHIN THE
DEEPEST CONVECTION. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES HIGH VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEP TROUGH EXTENDING UP INTO THE CORAL
SEA. TC 09P IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A
NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE, BUT IS EXPECTED TO TURN BACK TO THE WEST
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS AS THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE
EXTENDING OVER EASTERN AUSTRALIA BECOMES THE DOMINATE STEERING
MECHANISM. TC ANTHONY IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY THROUGH TAU
48 AND DISSIPATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE BY TAU 72 AS A
CUT-OFF LOW CAUSES SUBSIDENCE ALOFT AND HINDERS OUTFLOW. NUMERICAL
MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE TURN BACK
TO THE WEST, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WBAR WHICH DEPICTS A LATER TURN
JUST SOUTH OF NEW CALEDONIA. INTENSITY GUIDANCE SUGGESTS AN
ALTERNATE SCENARIO IN WHICH TC 09P RE-INTENSIFIES AS IT TRACKS
WESTWARD AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THIS SCENARIO
SEEMS UNLIKELY GIVEN THE HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN OF THE TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THIS FORECAST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST TRACK AND IS WITHIN THE TIGHTLY CLUSTERED AIDS
PACKAGE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 241200Z IS 13 FEET.

PAST 06 HOURS AND HAS BEGUN TO SLOW AND TURN WESTWARD; MOTION OVER
THE PAST 03 HOURS WAS WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS A FULLY-EXPOSED YET WELL-DEFINED LOW-
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH NO DEEP CONVECTION NEAR THE
SYSTEM. MSI ALSO SHOWS A WEAK BAROCLINIC ZONE JUST SOUTH OF THE
SYSTEM WITH A STRATOCUMULUS FIELD ADVECTING INTO THE NORTHWEST
PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. A 242259Z TRMM IMAGE SHOWS THE
CORRESPONDING AREA OF DRY AIR ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE CIRCULATION
FROM THE SOUTH THROUGH THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT. TC 09P IS LOCATED
WITHIN A WEAK LOW-LEVEL STEERING ENVIRONMENT, HOWEVER, A DEEP
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) IS BUILDING OVER EASTERN AUSTRALIA AND IS
EXPECTED TO PROVIDE A WESTWARD STEERING INFLUENCE THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD. MODEL GUIDANCE (ECMWF, GFS, NOGAPS, AND JGSM) IS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT EXCEPT FOR GFDN AND WBAR, WHICH INDICATE UNREALISTIC
TRACKS CONSIDERING THE BUILDING STR SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF THE
SYSTEM. THIS FORECAST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND
IS SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN THE MODEL CONSENSUS TO OFFSET GFDN AND WBAR.
TC 09P IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN WITHIN AN UNFAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL
ENVIRONMENT AND IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE TO 30 KNOTS WITHIN THE NEXT
24-36 HOURS. THERE APPEARS TO BE A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE SYSTEM WILL
REGENERATE AFTER TAU 60 AS UPPER-LEVEL CONDITIONS IMPROVE AND THE
SYSTEM MOVES INTO A MOISTER ENVIRONMENT EAST OF CAIRNS. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 250000Z IS 13 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
251500Z AND 260300Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 08P (WILMA) WARNINGS

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09P (ANTHONY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 355 NM
WEST-NORTHWEST OF NOUMEA, NEW CALEDONIA, HAS BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS
CONVECTION HAS FLARED OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER IN
RESPONSE TO THE WEAKENED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). HOWEVER, DVORAK
INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES HAVE COME DOWN TO 30 KNOTS. TC
09P IS COMPLETING ITS U-TURN WESTWARD AS A BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
(STR) TO THE SOUTH ASSUMES STEERING. AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS WESTWARD,
VWS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE. AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT EXCEPT FOR GFDN AND WBAR, WHICH INDICATE UNREALISTIC
POLEWARD TRACKS INTO THE BUILDING STR. THIS FORECAST IS SLIGHTLY
NORTH AND FASTER THAN THE MODEL CONSENSUS TO OFFSET GFDN AND WBAR. TC
09P IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO WEAKEN DUE TO THE UNFAVORABLE VWS IN
ADDITION TO COOL DRY AIR ADVECTING FROM THE SOUTH, AS EVIDENCED ON
PREVIOUS MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY. HOWEVER, NUMERICAL MODELS ARE
INDICATING THE SYSTEM WILL REGENERATE AFTER TAU 60 AS UPPER-LEVEL
CONDITIONS IMPROVE AND THE SYSTEM MOVES INTO A MOISTER ENVIRONMENT
EAST OF CAIRNS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 251200Z IS 12
FEET. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON
WARNING CENTER (NAVMARFCSTCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED
FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 08P (WILMA)

1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
105 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 18.6S 158.1E TO 16.9S 155.4E
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 AT 261800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 18.4S 157.8E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTHWESTWARD AT 03
KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE REMNANT CIRCULATION OF FORMER TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC)
09P (ANTHONY) HAS RE-STRENGTHENED AND IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 18.4S
157.8E, APPROXIMATELY 695 NM EAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA. A BUILDING
UPPER LEVEL (U/L) RIDGE HAS BEGUN TO REPLACE A FILLING U/L SHORTWAVE
TROUGH THAT HAD BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR WEAKENING THE TC BELOW WARNING
CRITERIA. CENTRAL CONVECTION IS GRADUALLY BEGINNING TO REDEVELOP
NEAR THE CENTER AS U/L CONDITIONS IMPROVE, BUT IT IS FAIRLY RECENT,
WEAK AND UNORGANIZED. NONETHELESS A 261133Z ASCAT SHOWS A WELL-
DEFINED 25 TO 30 KNOT CIRCULATION AND TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER
PRODUCTS SHOW THE COLUMN BEGINNING TO RE-MOISTEN AS FLOW WORKS ITS
WAY FROM THE DEEP TROPICS ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE
CIRCULATION INTO THE SYSTEM CENTER. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS
ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD.

2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 15.7S
153.3E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 16.1S 155.2E, APPROXIMATELY 545 NM EAST
OF CAIRS, AUSTRALIA. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN SLOW TO RE-CONSOLIDATE
DESPITE IMPROVED UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS
HAS REPLACED A TROUGH ALOFT AS FORECAST. AS A RESULT VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR HAS RELAXED CONSIDERABLY ALLOWING FOR DEEP CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP OVER THE CENTER. THE UPPER TROPOSPHERE IS ALSO HIGHLY
DIFFLUENT WHICH HAS HELPED TO SUSTAIN THIS DEEP CONVECTION. A
PARTIAL 272230Z ASCAT PASS VALIDATES REISSUANCE OF THIS PRODUCT AS
WELL WITH SURFACE WINDS APPROACHING 30 KNOTS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF
THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS
ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS

LOCATED NEAR 15.1S 154.0E, APPROXIMATELY 495 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF
CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI)
DEPICTS A FULLY-EXPOSED AND WEAKENING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) WITH ISOLATED DEEP CONVECTION FLARING OVER THE EAST QUADRANT.
AN EARLIER ASCAT IMAGE AT 281054Z SHOWED 20-25 KNOT WINDS WRAPPING
INTO A DEFINED LLCC. HOWEVER, RECENT MSI AND A 282052Z TRMM IMAGE
DEPICT A MORE DISORGANIZED SYSTEM WITH WEAK SHALLOW CONVECTIVE
BANDING, SOMEWHAT ELONGATED, WITH ISOLATED DEEP CONVECTION DISPLACED
ABOUT 120 NM SOUTHEAST OF THE CENTER. THE TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER
PRODUCT INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS EMBEDDED WITHIN A RELATIVELY
DRY, MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT AND LACKS SUFFICIENT DEEP MOISTURE DESPITE
ITS LOCATION NEAR THE UPPER-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS WITH WEAK
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS OVERALL
MARGINAL OUTFLOW, WHICH IS SUPPRESSED ON THE EQUATORWARD SIDE AND
WEAK ON THE POLEWARD SIDE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. BASED ON THE WEAKENING LOW-LEVEL
SIGNATURE, LACK OF DEEP CONVECTION, AND POOR OUTFLOW, THE POTENTIAL
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE
NEXT 24 HOURS IS DOWNGRADED TO POOR.//
