This system seems to have develop an extremely small eye. If there is an eye, then it's being underestimated intensity-wise.

REMARKS:
Re-issued due to naming of system on receipt of microwave imagery.

Tropical Cyclone Ilsa has developed overnight and is moving consistantly in a
WSW direction. The system is currently under low NE shear and there is potential
of further development.

The 2335UTC SSMI microwave image shows the system has developed an eye. The
2217UTC Quikscat shows gales in at least three quadrants. The system is very
small with gales extending out to a maximum of 90nm in the southeast quadrant
under convective bands.

Numerical guidance is very consistent with a mid level ridge to the south
resulting in a WSW forecast track over the next few days.

Its looking a little more ragged then it did about 12hrs ago though it still has a good shape and decent convection around it, but I'm not sure its strengthening much right now. Still its forecasted to become quite a powerful cyclone.

Also given the forecasted track this could be quite a long lasting system, haven't had many thus far in the S.Hemisphere this season.

REMARKS:
Tropical Cyclone Ilsa has intensified rapidly during today with microwave
imagery showing evidence of an emerging eye, not yet seen on IR or Vis imagery.
Recent IR imagery shows very deep convection over the centre and strong banding
to the west of the centre.
Dvorak: DT=4.0 based on curved band wrap of 1.0+ [3.5] with a 0.5 addition
because of the cold band.[note: Eye pattern will give 5.0 [White/White]].
MET/PAT agree, hence FT/CI=4.0.

Should an eye emerge on IR imagery the DT is likely to increase quickly,
although having a very small radius to maximum winds, it is possible that IR
imagery may not adequately resolve the eye for some time. Nevertheless further
intensification is expected with low shear likely to continue through at least
48 hours.

Being such a small circulation, the system is likely to undergo fluctuations in
intensity in the 72 hour forecast period and may weaken at the end of this
period as it moves over waters less than 28C.

There is strong agreement on a general west to west southwest track under the
influence of a mid-level ridge to the south, although the system is likely to
slow to 6-8 knots in the 24-48 hour period as this ridge weakens.

When you see it like that Hurakan, its a lot stronger then I thought it was. Certainly does have deep convection at the moment as well!
IR does sort of hint at a eye developing as well with some deeper convection where the eastern eyewall should be showing up.

You mean the automated ADT. I wouldn't trust it here as it doesn't see the microwave. APRF are at T4.0.

REMARKS:
181500Z POSITION NEAR 13.7S 110.1E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 22S (ILSA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 550 NM
NORTH-NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 12
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY INDICATES A
RAPID INTENSIFICATION OF TC 22S OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. THE OVERALL
STRUCTURE OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS IMPROVED
OVER THE 12 HOURS. AN 181212Z SSMIS PASS REFLECTS DEEP BANDING
CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED AND INCREASED OVER THE LLCC. UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS INIDICATES THAT TC 22S IS LOCATED ALONG THE EQUATORWARD
SIDE OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IS PROVIDING
STRONG DIVEGENT FLOW, WITH A POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL THAT CONTINUES
TO DEVELOP. TC 22S IS LOCATED IN IN A REGION OF LOW TO MODERATE
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND HIGH SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT. AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS TO THE WEST IT WILL
MOVE CLOSER TO THE AXIS OF THE UPPER LEVEL ANTI-CYCLONE AND WILL BE
IN AN AREA OF MORE FAVORABLE VERTICAL WINDSHEAR AND UPPER-LEVEL
OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 181200Z IS 15 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 190300Z AND 191500Z.//
