TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P (TREVOR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 230 NM NORTH OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE USING ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY WHICH REVEALS A CONSOLIDATING SYSTEM WITH DEEP CENTRAL CONVECTION AND DEVELOPING RAIN BANDS. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KTS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PGTW DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T2.5 (35 KTS). THE ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE WITH LOW (5-10 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW, AND WARM (28-29 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE. TC 20P IS TRACKING ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) THAT EXTENDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST TO THE SOUTH. OVER THE DURATION OF THE FORECAST, TC 20P IS EXPECTED TO TRACK ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE STR, WITH THE TRACK MIRRORING CHANGES IN THE ORIENTATION OF THE RIDGE AXIS. THE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED TO ALLOW FOR RAPID INTENSIFICATION TO 70 KTS BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL ALONG CAPE YORK JUST AFTER TAU 36. WHILE OVER CAPE YORK, TC 20P WILL WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY BUT, AROUND TAU 72, IT WILL EMERGE OVER THE VERY WARM WATERS OF THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA. AT THAT POINT, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY AGAIN, THIS TIME TO 115 KTS, IF NOT HIGHER, BY TAU 120 WHILE TURNING POLEWARD. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY IN THE INTENSITY FORECAST AS SMALL SHIFTS IN THE TRACK COULD GREATLY IMPACT THE INTENSITY DUE TO CHANGES IN THE DURATION OF LAND INTERACTION. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT, LENDING TO FAIR CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST, WHICH CLOSELY FOLLOWS CONSENSUS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 171800Z IS 13 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 20P (TREVOR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 282 NM NORTH OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) REVEALS WELL-ORGANIZED RAINBANDS WRAPPING INTO A CONSOLIDATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE MSI IMAGERY AND A EXTRAPOLATED 172015Z SSMIS COLOR 37GHZ IMAGE. THE 171800Z POSITION HAS SHIFTED SIGNIFICANTLY, AS MICROWAVE IMAGERY ARRIVED AFTER THE FORECAST WAS ISSUED THAT SHOWED A POSITION APPROXIMATELY 45 NM NORTH. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 45 KTS IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE 172015Z SATCON ESTIMATE OF 46 KTS AND THE ABRF AND KNES DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESIMATES OF T3.0 (45 KTS), BUT ABOVE THE PGTW ESTIMATE OF T2.5 (35 KTS). THE ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE WITH LOW (5-10 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW, AND WARM (28-29 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE. TC 20P IS TRACKING ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO ITS SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. OVER THE DURATION OF THE FORECAST, THE STR IS EXPECTED TO RE-ORIENT TO THE EAST, ALLOWING FOR A SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK AFTER TAU 72. THE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED TO ALLOW FOR RAPID INTENSIFICATION TO 75 KTS BEFORE THE SYSTEM MAKES LANDFALL ALONG CAPE YORK AROUND TAU 36. WHILE OVER CAPE YORK, TC 20P WILL WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY BUT, AROUND TAU 72, IT WILL EMERGE OVER THE VERY WARM (30-32 DEGREES CELSIUS) WATERS OF THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA. AT THAT POINT, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY AGAIN, THIS TIME TO 105 KTS, IF NOT HIGHER, BY TAU 120, BEFORE IT APPROACHES LAND. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY IN THE INTENSITY FORECAST, AS SMALL SHIFTS IN THE TRACK COULD GREATLY IMPACT THE INTENSITY DUE TO CHANGES IN THE DURATION OF LAND INTERACTION AND THE TIMING OF LANDFALL. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN POOR AGREEMENT. THE LATEST RUN OF NAVGEM PREDICTS AN UNREALISTIC DUE SOUTHWARD TRACK OVER THE CAPE YORK PENINSULA, WHILE HWRF SHOWS A DUE WESTWARD TRACK THAT MAKES LANDFALL ON THE NORTHWESTERN SIDE OF THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA. THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK IS HEDGED WITH LOW CONFIDENCE NORTH OF AND AHEAD OF THE MULTIMODEL CONSENSUS, BETWEEN CONSENSUS AND THE GFS SOLUTION. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN THE FORECAST TRACK BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND THIS MOST RECENT ONE DUE TO THE RE-ADJUSTED 171800Z POSITION, ALTHOUGH THE TRACK TRENDING WESTWARD AND THEN SOUTHWESTWARD AFTER TAU 72 HAS REMAINED THE SAME. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 180000Z IS 15 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE 20P (TREVOR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 280 NM NORTH OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS A LARGE SYSTEM IN THE CORAL SEA (CS) THAT HAS QUICKLY CONSOLIDATED AS EXTENSIVE RAIN BANDS, MOSTLY FROM THE SOUTH, WRAPPED INTO A FORMATIVE EYE. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE FORMATIVE EYE IN THE MSI LOOP. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 50 KNOTS IS AVERAGED FROM AGENCY DVORAK ESTIMATES OF T3.0/45KTS TO T3.5/55KTS. THE ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE WITH LOW (05-10KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW, AND WARM (28-29 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. TC 20P WILL TRACK WEST- SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTHEAST, MAKING LANDFALL OVER CAPE YORK PENINSULA AROUND TAU 24 AND EXIT INTO THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA (GOC) SHORTLY AFTER TAU 48. AFTERWARD, THE STR IS EXPECTED TO RECEDE EASTWARD, ALLOWING TC 20P TO TRACK MORE SOUTHWESTWARD, MAKING A SECONDARY LANDFALL IN THE GOC COAST NEAR BORROLOOLA. THE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS IN THE CS WILL PROMOTE A RAPID INTENSIFICATION (RI) IN THE NEAR TERM - UP TO 70 KNOTS - PRIOR TO THE INITIAL LANDFALL. AFTERWARD, LAND INTERACTION IN THE YORK PENINSULA WILL ERODE THE SYSTEM DOWN TO 55 KNOTS. THE GOC WILL EQUALLY BE FAVORABLE AND PROMOTE A SECOND RI - UP TO 95 KNOTS - BY TAU 96 BEFORE THE FINAL LANDFALL. THERE IS, HOWEVER, SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY IN THE INTENSITY FORECAST AS SMALL SHIFTS IN THE TRACK COULD GREATLY IMPACT THE INTENSITY DUE TO CHANGES IN THE DURATION OF LAND INTERACTION AND THE TIMING OF LANDFALL. ADDITIONALLY, DYNAMIC MODEL TRACK GUIDANCE IS IN POOR AGREEMENT. THIS AND THE UNCERTAINTY OF LAND INTERACTION LEND LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.

THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 90 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T5.0 (90 KNOTS) FROM KNES AND PGTW; ABRF IS AT A T4.5 DUE TO CONSTRAINTS BUT ALSO MEASURED A DT5.0). UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES RADIAL OUTFLOW, ENHANCED BY THE WESTERLIES TO THE SOUTH, AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 20P IS FORECAST TO TRACK WESTWARD THROUGH TAU 48 UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH. AFTER TAU 48, THE SYSTEM WILL TURN WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THEN SOUTHWESTWARD AS THE STR SHIFTS EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM AND REORIENTS AS A DEEP MIDLATITUDE SHORTWAVE TROUGH DEEPENS OVER CENTRAL AUSTRALIA. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH A LARGE SPREAD IN SOLUTIONS AND HIGH UNCERTAINTY PRIMARILY DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING OF THE TURN WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AND MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN TRACK SPEEDS. THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK FAVORS THE ECMWF DETERMINISTIC SOLUTION AND THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE SOLUTION BUT IS POSITIONED SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS. TC 20P IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN RAPIDLY AS IT CROSSES THE CAPE YORK PENINSULA BUT IS EXPECTED TO RE-INTENSIFY OVER THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA AFTER TAU 36. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO UNDERGO RI AFTER TAU 48 DUE TO VERY WARM SST (30-32C), HIGH OCEAN HEAT CONTENT VALUES, FAVORABLE OUTFLOW AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P (TREVOR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 264 NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A WELL DEFINED SYSTEM WITH A SMALL, 7NM WIDE EYE. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE AND IS BASED ON THE RADAR LOOP FROM WEIPA, AUSTRALIA, WHICH ALSO SHOWS A WELL DEFINED EYE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 100 KNOTS IS BASED ON A DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T5.5 (102 KNOTS) FROM PGTW AND KNES. TC 20P IS EXPERIENCING FAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (5 TO 10 KNOTS) AND HAS EXCELLENT EQUATORWARD AND POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNELS. TC 20P IS TRACKING WESTWARD WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) LOCATED TO THE SOUTHWEST. TC 20P WILL MAKE LANDFALL WITHIN THE NEXT 6 HOURS WHICH WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO WEAKEN. TC 20P WILL EMERGE INTO THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA NEAR TAU 30. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 30 AND 32 DEGREES CELSIUS AND FAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL ALLOW TC 20P TO RE-INTENSIFY IN THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA. AFTER TAU 36, THE SYSTEM WILL TURN SOUTHWESTWARD AS THE STR SHIFTS EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM AND REORIENTS AS A DEEP MIDLATITUDE SHORTWAVE TROUGH DEEPENS OVER CENTRAL AUSTRALIA. TC 20P WILL REACH A PEAK INTENSITY OF 115 KNOTS NEAR TAU 84, SHORTLY BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL AGAIN IN NORTHERN AUSTRALIA. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AFUM AND EGRR, DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT. AFUM AND EGRR SHOW A SLOWER TRACK SPEED AND AN EARLIER TURN SOUTHWESTWARD WHILE THE REST OF THE CONSENSUS MEMBERS SHOW A FASTER TRACK SPEED AND MORE GRADUAL TURN SOUTHWESTWARD. DUE TO THE DIFFERENCES IN MODEL GUIDANCE THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK IS PLACED NORTH OF THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS, FAVORING THE ECMWF TRACK.

TC 20P HAS LOST MOST OF ITS CENTRAL DEEP CONVECTION AND STEADILY WEAKENED WHILE PASSING OVER THE CAPE YORK PENINSULA OVER THE PAST TWELVE HOURS. HOWEVER, RADAR DATA INDICATES A TIGHTLY-WRAPPED CIRCULATION THAT WILL LIKELY REORGANIZE AND INTENSIFY SOON AFTER IT REEMERGES OVER WATER WITHIN THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. TC 20P IS TRACKING GENERALLY WESTWARD ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A STEERING RIDGE TO THE SOUTH, AND THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW THIS PATTERN THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. STEADY TO RAPID INTENSIFICATION FUELED BY LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW AND PASSAGE OVER THE VERY WARM WATERS OF THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA IS LIKELY BEFORE THE CYCLONE MAKES LANDFALL AROUND TAU 72. STEADY DISSIPATION IS EXPECTED IN THE EXTENDED RANGE AS THE STORM TRACKS INLAND. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE DEPICTS A SLIGHTLY SLOWER TRACK IN THE NEAR-TERM THAN PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED DUE TO A WEAKENING OF THE STEERING FLOW, WHICH IS REFLECTED IN THE CURRENT JTWC TRACK FORECAST.

ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT CONVECTION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKENED AS TC 20P HAS TRACKED OVER LAND. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE AND IS BASED ON ANIMATED RADAR IMAGERY FROM WEIPA, AUSTRALIA WHICH SHOWS A WELL DEFINED CIRCULATION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 60 KNOTS IS BASED ON A CONTINUING WEAKENING TREND WHILE OVER LAND.

TC 20P IS TRACKING GENERALLY WESTWARD WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) LOCATED TO THE SOUTHWEST. THE STR WILL BEGIN TO REORIENT TO THE EAST BY TAU 24 AND ALLOW TC 20P TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD. LAND INTERACTION THROUGH TAU 6 WILL CAUSE TC 20P TO CONTINUE TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY. HOWEVER, FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA, LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, WILL ALLOW TC 20P TO RE-INTENSIFY AT A STEADY TO RAPID PACE BEYOND TAU 6.
