REMARKS:
Tropical Cyclone Seroja is tracking towards the southwest, away from the
Indonesian archipelago. Latest IR imagery shows deep convection has reduced and
is now displaced to the northeast, partially exposing the LLCC.

Dvorak analysis: FT=2.5 based on MET with a W- 24hr trend. Unable to apply DT
due to a shear pattern with weak T gradient. CI held higher at 3.0. ADT
estimates have decreased to 2.3. No recent SATCON data is available. Final
intensity 40 knots.

The impact of SE wind shear and dry air in the mid levels is likely to persist
in the next 24-36h and some further weakening is possible although the forecast
maintains intensity at 40kn through this period. Beyond that the shear will
become more NE'ly without intrusion of dry air permitting a resumption of
intensification. Model guidance of intensity varies significantly but a category
3 system remains a possibility.

Steady southwest movement is forecast as the mid-level ridge strengthens to the
south through 72-96h. Sea surface temperatures are much warmer than normal along
the forecast track and extending a long way south

Interaction with another tropical system to the west [23U] results in a high
level of uncertainty for the extended forecast track and intensity. The most
likely scenario takes the track to the south then turning towards the west coast
of WA by 120h.

The HWRF doesn’t seem very concerned about Seroja’s dry air problems. After 1-2 days of recovery, it shows the system bombing out into a 130 kt/920 mbar Cat 4, its strongest run so far.

The Gascoyne region may get blowy when this system transforms to an extratropical one.

REMARKS:
Tropical Cyclone Seroja was located by visible imagery just east of the deep
convection, evidence of ongoing moderate easterly wind shear.

Dvorak analysis in the 2.5 to 3.0 range but final FT/CI =2.5 based on: DT
2.5-3.0 shear pattern [<0.5deg separation between LLCC and deep convection] and
MET=2.5 based on slight weakening 24hr trend.
ADT estimates have risen to 3.0-3.3 while SATCON not updated since 1737UTC.
Final intensity remains at 35 knots.

Moderate easterly shear combined with slightly drier air continues to inhibit
the circulation which should persist tonight with pulsing convection maintaining
marginal TC intensity. On Thursday shear is forecast to reduce and become NE'ly
as the cyclone moves closer to the ridge axis and moist NW inflow is expected to
support intensification. Sea surface temperatures are much warmer than normal
along the forecast track and southwards along the WA west coast. Models are
consistent in developing the cyclone and category 3 system appears more likely
well offshore from the WA coast.

Steady southwest movement is forecast as the mid-level ridge to the south
through 72h [Saturday]. A degree of interaction with tropical low [23U]
currently to the west will assist the SW motion on Friday into Saturday before
commencing a southerly track during Saturday. By Sunday it becomes influenced by
a mid-latitude trough to the south to accelerate it to the southeast towards the
coast. Landfall intensity depends on a range of factors - a more northerly and
earlier landfall has a higher risk of a severe impact, while a later and more
southerly landfall is likely to be weaker. Even then the faster motion is likely
to enhance winds on the northeast quadrant making a category 2 impact the more
likely proposition.

Winds will be higher to the east of the track while rainfall will be enhanced
south of the track.

The combined forecast tracks of Seroja and 23 U nicely show how the latter system will likely get swung around the northern, eastern and then southern sides of Seroja. Seroja itself could later become quite a significant event here in south-west WA. The current forecast track shows it making landfall just north of Geraldton. This area very rarely gets truly tropical cyclones of any kind, so the fact that the BOM mentions the possibility of even a severe (hurricane-force) impact is quite incredible. I believe the last system of comparably high intensity in that area was TC Hazel back in 1979.

INTO A WELL DEFINED LLCC TO GOOD EFFECT AND LENT HIGH CONFIDENCE TO
THE INITIAL POSITION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 45 KNOTS
WITH MODERATE CONFIDENCE BASED ON A BLEND OF MULTI-AGENCY DVORAK
INTENSITY ESTIMATES BETWEEN T2.5-T3.0 (35 TO 45 KTS), AND AN ADT
ESTIMATE OF T3.0. THE SYSTEM REMAINS COCOONED IN A MARGINALLY
SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY MODERATE (15-20 KTS)
EASTERLY VWS OFFSET BY DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT, THOUGH THERE IS NO
DISTINCT OUTFLOW CHANNEL AT PRESENT. TC 26S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYER
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) CENTERED OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA THROUGH 72,
BEFORE ROUNDING THE RIDGE AXIS NEAR TAU 72, AND THEN ACCELERATING
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH TAU 120. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MAKE
LANDFALL SOUTH OF SHARK BAY NEAR TAU 108. SLOW INTENSIFICATION IS
FORECAST OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS AS THE SYSTEM MOVES SLOWLY INTO A
GENERALLY MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH INCREASED MOISTURE AND
DECREASED VWS. TC 26S IS FORECAST TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY, FROM 60
KNOTS TO 110 KNOTS BETWEEN TAU 48 AND 72, AS IT APPROACHES THE RIDGE
AXIS, VWS DROPS TO THE 5-10 KNOT RANGE AND A COMPACT POINT SOURCE
DEVELOPS ALOFT OVER TOP OF THE SYSTEM. AFTER ROUNDING THE RIDGE AND
ACCELERATING SOUTHEASTWARD, INCREASING SHEAR, COOLER WATERS AND
ULTIMATELY LAND INTERACTION WILL LEAD TO RAPID WEAKENING THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN EXTRA-
TROPICAL TRANSITION AFTER LANDFALL AS IT MOVES EAST OF PERTH. AT
THIS POINT, THE BINARY INTERACTION WITH TC 27S IS NOT EXPECTED TO
IMPACT THE TRACK FORECAST, BUT THERE REMAINS A LOW PROBABILITY OF A
SLIGHT WOBBLE FURTHER WEST IN THE MID-RANGE PORTION OF THE FORECAST
AS THE TWO SYSTEMS BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER. DYNAMIC MODEL
GUIDANCE IS IN OVERALL GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL SCENARIO, WITH
SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING AND SHARPNESS OF THE RECURVE STARTING
TO EMERGE. IN PARTICULAR, THE ECMWF HAS SHIFTED MUCH FURTHER TO THE
WEST IN THE LATEST RUN AND IS NO THE WESTERN-MOST OUTLIER AMONGST
THE CONSENSUS MEMBERS. THE JTWC FORECAST LIES ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE
OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE AS A NOD TOWARDS THE ECMWF, BUT REMAINS
CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST TRACK. OVERALL CONFIDENCE
REMAINS MODERATE IN LIGHT OF THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE
BINARY INTERACTION WITH TC 27S. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
070600Z IS 20 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 071500Z, 072100Z, 080300Z AND

REMARKS:
After a period of weakening on Thursday, Seroja has commenced intensifying in
the past few hours with deep convection on both microwave [SSMIS at 2240UTC] and
visible imagery in bands north and south of the centre.

Dvorak analysis: FT/CI=3.0 based on MET. Technically DT=2.5 based on 0.4 curved
band pattern, but this does not reflect that there are multiple bands that is
heralding an emerging stronger system. ADT estimates are in the range of 2.4
[NESDIS] to 2.8 [CIMSS] and SATCON [18UTC] at 44 kn. Earlier ASCAT passes
[13-15UTC] had 35-40kn in eastern quadrants. Intensity set at 40kn.

Intensification should continue today and tomorrow as the shear [CIMSS 18UTC: E
at 12kn] eases and warm sea surface temperatures. There is the potential for
Seroja to reach category 3 intensity over the weekend with a poleward outflow
channel expected to develop due to an approaching upper trough to the west of
the system. The intensification process of Seroja may be complicated or enhanced
by the close proximity of TC Odette on Saturday.

Tropical cyclone Seroja is forecast to track towards the southwest over open
waters today under the influence of a mid-level high situated to the east of the
system and then take a slow southerly track on Saturday. On Sunday, Seroja is
expected to turn to the southeast due to an approaching mid-latitude trough from
the west and accelerate towards the west coast of Western Australia before
making landfall during late Sunday or early Monday between Carnarvon and Jurien
Bay, an area not accustomed to tropical cyclones making impacts more
significant.

A rare bust for the HWRF. Seroja has taken longer to recover than expected and has been very broad, so it will likely not hit the high end Cat 4 intensity the HWRF was forecasting for days. A major isn’t very likely anymore either.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.
