REMARKS:
Tropical Cyclone Melanie has tracked to the south southwest in the past 6-12
hours. The well defined LLCC is sheared from the mid-level circulation with
DT=2.5/3.0 with FT biased towards MET. ASCAT shows near gales about the
circulation confirming weakening is ongoing, although pulsing convection
particularly to the southwest of the centre may prolong gales for the next 12
hours or so. However, the continuing shear, cooler SSTs and a stratocumulus
cloud field to the southwest should see the demise of Melanie within 24 hours.

The next bulletin for this system will be issued by: 01/1300 UTC by Perth TCWC.

the southwest quadrant may still occur if convection again flares to the
southwest of the centre.
