Looks like because of its size, the intensity of this system is being underestimated .. looks pretty well organized

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 8
Issued at 5:33 am WST on Saturday 16 April 2011

A Cyclone WARNING continues for coastal and island communities from Kalumburu
to Kuri Bay.

At 5:00 am WST Tropical Cyclone Errol, Category 1 was estimated to be
220 kilometres north northwest of Troughton Island and
295 kilometres north northwest of Kalumburu and
moving northwest at 9 kilometres per hour away from the coast.

Tropical Cyclone Errol is moving slowly to the northwest, away from the
Kimberley coast.

There is a very slight possibility of GALES with gusts to 110 kilometres per
hour on the coast between Kalumburu and Kuri Bay this morning IF the cyclone
takes a more southwest track.

During Sunday TC Errol is expected to weaken as it approaches the islands of
Indonesia.


FESA-State Emergency Service advises of the following community alerts:
BLUE ALERT: People in or near the communities between Kalumburu and Kuri Bay,
including coastal and island communities, should start taking precautions.


Details of Tropical Cyclone Errol at 5:00 am WST:
.Centre located near...... 12.0 degrees South 125.2 degrees East
.Location accuracy........ within 55 kilometres
.Recent movement.......... towards the northwest at 9 kilometres per hour
.Wind gusts near centre... 120 kilometres per hour
.Severity category........ 1
.Central pressure......... 993 hectoPascals

The next advice will be issued by 9:00 am WST Saturday 16 April.

Cyclone advices and State Emergency Service Community Alerts are available by
dialling 1300 659 210

REMARKS:
The current position based on the enhanced IR imagery. The convective banding
has strengthened slightly over the last couple of hours. Dvorak analysis is
based on a 0.65 curved band wrap giving DT=3.0. MET=3.0 on a 24hr D- trend, and
no PAT adjustment is required, so FT=DT=MET=3.0 with CI at 3.0. ADT currently
yields CI=3.2. This is a small system and EIR Dvorak analysis may not be
strictly representative. The system is maintained at 40 knots, with a forecast
of slight intensification based on environment and entering a diurnally
favourable period.

The system is expected to move slowly west-northwest as a mid-level ridge
develops to the south of the system. There is a slight possibility that gales
will affect the northern Kimberley coast if it were to drift to the southwest.

Environmental wind shear is favourable, with 12Z CIMMS analysis suggesting 3.3
m/s of northerly shear. A good outflow channel is evident on satellite imagery
to the west and south of the system. However, animations of total precipitable
water suggest dry air is beginning to wrap around the system, though at present
it is maintaining intensity. It is expected an amplifying upper level trough
over eastern Australia will increase in shear in the next 24-48 hours and assist
ingestion of dry air into the core, ultimately weakening the cyclone moves
closer to the eastern Indonesian islands. Given the small size of the system,
this may lead to rapid weakening.

That's no TS, it's a rapidly-intensifying hurricane (Severe Tropical Cyclone).

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 9
Issued at 8:43 am WST on Saturday 16 April 2011

The Cyclone WARNING for coastal and island communities from Kalumburu to Kuri
Bay has been CANCELLED.

At 8:00 am WST Tropical Cyclone Errol, Category 2 was estimated to be
255 kilometres north northwest of Troughton Island and
335 kilometres north northwest of Kalumburu and
moving northwest at 9 kilometres per hour away from the coast.

Tropical Cyclone Errol continues to move towards the northwest away from the
north Kimberley coast. GALES with gusts to 110 kilometres per hour are no
longer expected in coastal areas between Kalumburu and Kuri Bay.

FESA-State Emergency Service advises of the following community alerts:
ALL CLEAR: People in or near communities between Kalumburu and Kuri Bay,
including coastal and island communities are advised that the cyclone threat
has passed.


Details of Tropical Cyclone Errol at 8:00 am WST:
.Centre located near...... 11.7 degrees South 125.1 degrees East
.Location accuracy........ within 35 kilometres
.Recent movement.......... towards the northwest at 9 kilometres per hour
.Wind gusts near centre... 130 kilometres per hour
.Severity category........ 2
.Central pressure......... 989 hectoPascals

No further advices will be issued for this system unless it moves back towards
the coast. Please refer to the Tropical Cyclone Information Bulletin (IDW24000)
which will be issued by 3:00pm WST Saturday and the Tropical Cyclone Forecast
Track Map (IDW60281) for more details.

+72: 19/0000: 11.2S 117.8E: 240 [445]: 030 [055]: 1000
REMARKS:
The current position is based on microwave and visible imagery.

Tight convective banding on visible images gives a wrap -0.8 yielding a DT=3.5.
MET was 4.0 based on a D trend and PAT was 3.5. So FT and CI were set to 3.5
with max winds [10 minute] of 50 knots. This is in agreement with SATCON [57
knots at 18 UTC]. ADT gives initial raw T values between 3.2 and 3.5 over the
last 6 hours.

The system is expected to move towards the west-northwest, over SSTs of 28-29C,
as a mid-level ridge develops to the south of the system. Errol is now far
enough away from the north Kimberley coast that the threat of gales has passed.
Consensus of NWP indicates good confidence in the forecast west to northwest
track in the next 72 hours.

Environmental wind shear is favourable, with the 00Z CIMSS analysis of 4.5 m/s.
A good poleward outflow channel is evident on satellite imagery. Intensity is
maintained at 50 knots for the next 18 hours. An amplifying upper level trough
over eastern Australia will increase shear in the next 24-48 hours, weakening
the cyclone as it moves closer to the eastern Indonesian islands. Given the
small size of the system, this may lead to rapid weakening. The system may also
weaken due to the ingestion of dry air although this is difficult to diagnose.

REMARKS:
160300Z POSITION NEAR 11.5S 124.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 21S (ERROL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 355 NM
WEST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS CONVECTIVE
BANDING ALONG THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT HAS DEEPENED AND WRAPPED TIGHTER
INTO THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER AS POLEWARD OUTFLOW REMAINED
ROBUST. A 152156Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE SUPPORTS THE DEEPENED
CONVECTION AND TIGHT WRAPPING. THE INITIAL INTENSITY
IS BASED ON DVORAK INTENSITY OF T3.0 FROM APRF AND KNES. THE INITIAL
POSITION IS BASED ON ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY WITH FAIR
CONFIDENCE. TC 21S IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN
PERIPHERY OF A MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE. AS THE RIDGE BUILDS AND
REORIENTS, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TURN MORE WESTWARD AFTER TAU 36.
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS FAVORABLE FOR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT UP TO TAU
48 WHEN COLD CONTINENTAL DRY AIR ADVECTING FROM THE SOUTHEAST WILL
BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE CORE OF THE SYSTEM. TC ERROL WILL REDUCE TO A
35-KT SYSTEM BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. NUMERICAL MODEL
GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH GFDN AND WBAR AS THE SOUTHERNMOST
OUTLIERS AND ECMF AS THE NORTHERNMOST OUTLIER. THIS FORECAST IS
SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTH OF CONSENSUS TO ACCOUNT FOR GFDN AND WBAR'S
INLIKELY TRACK INTO THE STEERING RIDGE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 160000Z IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 161500Z AND 170300Z.//

As fast as the sharp eye developed, it fell apart. I do think it was a severe TC (hurricane) yesterday, but it's not now.

REMARKS:
The current position is based on visible imagery.

The 2155 UTC tc_ssmis image showed deep convection wrapping completely around
the LLCC. An eye emerged on EIR imagery between 2330 UTC and 0130 UTC with DTs
between 4 and 4.5.

Tight convective banding on recent visible images gives a wrap -1.2 yielding a
DT of 4.0. MET was 3.5 based on a D- trend and PAT was 3.5. With clear DTs, FT
and CI were set to 4.0 with max winds [10 minute] of 55 knots.

The system is expected to move towards the west-northwest, over SSTs of 28-29C,
as a mid-level ridge develops to the south of the system. Consensus of NWP
indicates good confidence in the forecast west to northwest track in the next 72
hours.

Environmental wind shear is favourable, with the 06Z CIMSS analysis of 2.6 m/s.
Intensity is maintained at 55 knots for the next 12 hours. Errol may still be at
category 2 intensity as it approaches the eastern Indonesian islands although
there is a fair degree of uncertainty in the intensity forecast. This is mainly
due to the likelihood of dry air intrusion. The system is also likely to weaken
due to the interaction with land. Shear is forecast to increase in the next 24
to 48 hours which will further weaken the system.
