TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST
TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 9
Issued at 12:00 pm WST on Thursday 17 February 2011
A Cyclone WARNING is current for coastal areas from Exmouth to Coral Bay.
A Cyclone WATCH is current for coastal areas from Onslow to Exmouth and Coral
Bay to Overlander, including Carnarvon and Denham.
At 11:00 am WST Tropical Cyclone Dianne, Category 2 was estimated to be
385 kilometres northwest of Exmouth and
650 kilometres north northwest of Carnarvon and is near stationary.
Tropical Cyclone Dianne remains near stationary well off the northwest coast.
Diane is expected to drift slowly south during Thursday and Friday. If it moves
closer to the coast GALES with gusts to 100 kilometres per hour may develop in
coastal areas between Exmouth and Coral Bay late on Thursday or Friday, and may
extend east to Onslow and south to Overlander Roadhouse on Friday. If Diane
takes a more south easterly track DESTRUCTIVE winds with gusts in excess of 125
kilometres per hour may occur between Coral Bay and Overlander Roadhouse later
Friday and Saturday.
Tides along the entire west coast will be higher than normal over the next few
days. Tides between Onslow and Shark Bay are likely to exceed the high water
mark with flooding of low lying coastal areas possible.
FESA State Emergency Service (SES) advises of the following community alerts:
BLUE ALERT: People in or near Exmouth and Coral Bay need to prepare for
cyclonic weather and organise an emergency kit including first aid kit, torch,
portable radio, spare batteries, food and water.
Other communities between Onslow and Overlander Roadhouse, including Carnarvon
and Denham should listen for the next advice.
Details of Tropical Cyclone Dianne at 11:00 am WST:
.Centre located near...... 19.3 degrees South 111.7 degrees East
.Location accuracy........ within 55 kilometres
.Recent movement.......... near stationary
.Wind gusts near centre... 130 kilometres per hour and INTENSIFYING
.Severity category........ 2
.Central pressure......... 978 hectoPascals
The next advice will be issued by 3:00 pm WST Thursday 17 February.

REMARKS:
Deep convection has persisted to the northwest of the LLCC as the system
continues to experience southeast shear of around 20 knots. Satellite imagery
shows good equatorward outflow. Early morning visible satellite imagery shows a
curved band with a DT of 3.5. Average DT over 3 hours remains at 3.0, which is
in agreement with the MET. FT and CI held at 3.0.
The system is over ocean temperatures above 28C. Shear decreases on Friday with
development becoming more favourable and thus the system is expected to develop
into a severe tropical cyclone late Friday.
Peak intensity of around 80 knots [10 minute wind] is expected during Saturday
19th February. Dianne is then expected to gradually weaken over cooler SSTs and
increasing shear when it gets to a latitude south of 26S.
The system has been slow moving over the past 24 hours. The passage of an upper
trough is likely to cause the system to move generally southwards over the next
3-4 days, with the steering finely balanced. The models show a number of
scenarios, it is most likely the system will remain off the coast, however there
is a chance the system may take a more southeasterly track that will take it
close enough to the coast to cause gales from Exmouth to Coral Bay late Thursday
or Friday, with gales possible between Onslow and Overlander Roadhouse later
Friday.

Re: SIO: DIANNE (16U/16S) - Tropical Cyclone
looks like an old school one that can't make up it's mind where it's going.

Re: SIO: DIANNE (16U/16S) - Tropical Cyclone
It has a very nice outflow pattern to the east and north. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes stornger than forecasted.

It has got a very good outflow hasn't it!
Then again it has that classic comma look, which often struggle to go beyond 70-80kts, so could go either way!
I suspect though this one has got a decent shout at getting stronger then expected...

REMARKS:
171500Z POSITION NEAR 19.2S 110.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 16S (DIANNE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260 NM
NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS REMAINED QUASI-STATIONARY
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS A CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH
CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A DEFINED CENTER. A 171059Z SSMIS
37 GHZ IMAGE DEPICTED A MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE. THE CURRENT POSITION
IS BASED ON THE SSMIS IMAGE AS WELL AS A 171217Z AMSU IMAGE WITH
GOOD CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE. THE CURRENT
INTENSITY IS BASED ON AN AVERAGE OF DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 45
TO 65 KNOTS. TC 16S IS POSITIONED BETWEEN TWO MID-LEVEL STEERING
RIDGES AND HAS, CONSEQUENTLY, TRACKED ERRATICALLY OVER THE PAST 12
HOURS. OVERALL, TC 16S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE
PERIOD AND IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL WEST OF THE AUSTRALIAN COAST.
HOWEVER, THERE IS A HIGH DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT TRACK
WITH THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC MODELS (UKMO, NOGAPS, ECMWF, GFDN, GFS,
JGSM AND WBAR) IN FAIR AGREEMENT. THE BULK OF THE MODELS INDICATE A
SLOW SOUTHWARD TO SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK THROUGH TAU 36-48 UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF AN EXTENSION OF THE WESTERN STEERING RIDGE TO
THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. THE UKMO, WBAR AND JGSM SOLUTIONS INDICATE
A SOUTHWARD TO SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK WITH NO SIGNIFICANT RIDGING
SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO DIVERGE AFTER TAU 48 BUT
GENERALLY INDICATE A SOUTHWARD TO SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK OVER
COOLER SST IN THE EXTENDED TAUS ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACH OF A
DEEP MIDLATITUDE TROUGH. TC 16S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY UNDER
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS THROUGH TAU 72 AND SHOULD THEN WEAKEN RAPIDLY
DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND COOLER SST. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 171200Z IS 19 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
180300Z AND 181500Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 13S (BINGIZA)
WARNINGS (WTXS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL
CYCLONE 15S (CARLOS) FINAL WARNING (WTXS32 PGTW).//

Then again it still has that comma presentation, and they normally have a habit of sucking in more stable air I've found, so who knows!

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 16
Issued at 9:00 am WST on Friday 18 February 2011
A Cyclone WATCH is current for coastal areas from Coral Bay to Overlander
Roadhouse including Carnarvon and Denham.
The Cyclone Watch for coastal areas from Onslow to Exmouth, and the Cyclone
Warning for coastal areas from Exmouth to Coral Bay have been cancelled.
At 8:00 am WST Tropical Cyclone Dianne, Category 2 was estimated to be
480 kilometres west northwest of Exmouth and
660 kilometres northwest of Carnarvon and was moving south southwest at 13
kilometres per hour.
Tropical Cyclone Dianne is located well off the northwest coast and has started
to move towards the south southwest. Dianne is expected to continue moving
towards the south southwest during today and then take a more southerly track
on Saturday. With this change in the forecast track the risk to coastal
communities has decreased but there is still a risk that Dianne will take a
southeasterly track on Saturday, bringing GALES with gusts to 100 kilometres
per hour to coastal communities between Coral Bay and Overlander Roadhouse late
on Saturday or early on Sunday.
Regardless of the movement of Dianne, tides along the entire west coast are
likely to exceed the high water mark over the next few days, with flooding of
low lying coastal areas possible between Exmouth and Shark Bay (Denham).
A Flood Warning is current for the Gascoyne and Murchison rivers. Flooding is
also expected in other areas of Western Australia. Please refer to the full
list of Flood Watches and Warnings at http://www.bom.gov.au/wa.
FESA State Emergency Service (SES) advises of the following community alerts:
BLUE ALERT: People in or near Coral Bay need to stay prepared for cyclonic
weather and organise an emergency kit including first aid kit, torch, portable
radio, spare batteries, food and water.
ALL CLEAR: People in Exmouth are advised to proceed with caution.
Other communities between Coral Bay and Overlander Roadhouse, including
Carnarvon and Denham should listen for the next advice.
Details of Tropical Cyclone Dianne at 8:00 am WST:
.Centre located near...... 20.0 degrees South 110.0 degrees East
.Location accuracy........ within 55 kilometres
.Recent movement.......... towards the south southwest at 13 kilometres per hour
.Wind gusts near centre... 150 kilometres per hour and INTENSIFYING
.Severity category........ 2
.Central pressure......... 972 hectoPascals
The next advice will be issued by 3:00 pm WST Friday 18 February.
Cyclone advices and State Emergency Service Community Alerts are available by
dialling 1300 659 210

REMARKS:
During the day satellite imagery showed a developing curved band. From about
0530 UTC the curved band structure weakened with a large break appearing.
However, deep convection has remained near the centre. The system remains under
moderate easterly shear, however there are indications that the shear is
starting to decrease. Dvorak analysis yielded a DT of 3.5 based on a shear
pattrern. The FT was based more on MET with a pattern T being difficult to
apply. With a developing trend being assigned MET=PT=FT=4.0. This is less than
SATCON which indicates a 60-65kt system but little more than ADT which is around
3.0-3.5.
Satellite imagery shows good equatorward outflow. The system is over ocean
temperatures above 28C. Shear continues to decrease on Friday with development
becoming more favourable and thus the system is expected to develop into a
severe tropical cyclone during Friday. There is some uncertainty however with
considerable variance in model trends.
Peak intensity is expected during Saturday 19th February. Dianne is then
expected to gradually weaken over cooler SSTs and increasing shear when it gets
to a latitude south of 25S.
The system has been slow moving over the past 24 hours, although a slight
southerly motion is now apparent. The passage of an upper trough is likely to
cause the system to move generally southwards over the next 3-4 days, with the
steering finely balanced. The models show a number of scenarios, but it is
looking increasingly likely the system will move south to southwesterly away
from the WA coast. However, there still remains a chance that it will take a
more southeasterly track and affect the west coast of the state.
