Invest...

Nope this should be a a TC, its quite simple judging from the Vis imagery, I suspect we'll get an upgrade in the next 6-12hrs barring any implosion of the convection...

REMARKS:
The tropical low has intensified overnight, with a circular area of cold cloud
displaced to the west of a well-defined low-level circulation centre. Fair
position fix from 2226UTC SSMI microwave image. Dvorak DT=2.0 based on shear
pattern with <1.25deg separation between LLCC and cold cloud. FT based on MET
and PAT=2.5. Moderate vertical wind shear forecast to decrease during next 24-48
hours as the low moves under the upper ridge axis. The low is forecast to
intensify slowly, becoming a TC briefly tonight or early Saturday, then
weakening later in the weekend as it moves further WSW over colder waters.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 620 NM
WEST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 18
KNOTS DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS IMPROVED DEEP CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED CLOSER TO THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 111059Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICTS A
WELL-DEFINED LLCC. THE INITIAL POSITION WAS BASED ON THE SSMIS
IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY WAS BASED ON PGTW, KNES, AND APRF
DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30 TO 35 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED IN AN AREA OF HIGH VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR (VWS), WHICH HAS RELATIVELY DECREASED WITHIN THE PAST 12 HOURS
AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DECREASE. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO
THE EAST IS CAUSING INCREASED VWS AND SUBSIDENCE ALOFT. HOWEVER, THE
SYSTEM MAINTAINS GOOD EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. TC 14S IS CURRENTLY
TRACKING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL STEERING
RIDGE CENTERED TO THE SOUTH. ALTHOUGH THE VWS IS FORECAST TO
CONTINUE TO DECREASE, INTENSIFICATION WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO
DECREASING SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT, THEREFORE THIS FORECAST IS CONSISTENT WITH MODEL
CONSENSUS. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS REF A, NAVMARFCSTCEN
102230Z FEB 11 TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTXS21 PGTW
102230). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 111200Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 120300Z AND 121500Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 13S

REMARKS:
Position based on animated VIS/near IR, aided by a tc_ssmis microwave image at
11:00 UTC.

Deep convection remains persistent to the northwest of the LLCC in a strongly
sheared environment [CIMSS estimate at 12:00 UTC 30-40 kt]. However weaker shear
exists just southwards of the system under the upper level ridge axis. Outflow
remains good to the north. Recent satellite imagery suggest outflow could be
improving to the south.

Dvorak DT=2.5 based on shear pattern with <.75deg separation between LLCC and
cold cloud. FT=2.5 [MET=2.0 adjusted +0.5 by PAT].

Forecast track based on a consensus of models steering the system to the west
southwest under the influence of a mid-level ridge to the south of the system.
This moves the system closer to the upper level ridge, so shear is forecast to
decrease during the next 24 hours. The low is forecast to intensify slowly,
becoming a TC early Saturday, before weakening later during the weekend as it
moves further WSW over colder waters [west of about 100E].

+72: 14/1800: 22.0S 90.8E: 280 [520]: 030 [055]: 1000
REMARKS:
Position poor, based on animated near-IR and persistence and aided by a 1420 UTC
ASCAT pass.

Deep convection began to diminish between 1330 UTC and 1630 UTC, while cloud top
temperatures warmed. Recent IR imagery between 1730 UTC and 1830 UTC indicates
renewed convection developing to the NW or the LLCC. The system remains in a
moderately sheared environment [CIMSS estimate at 1800 UTC 15-20 kt]. However
weaker shear [<10 kt] exists just southwards of the system under the upper level
ridge axis. Outflow remains good to the north.

Dvorak: DT=2.0 based on shear pattern with <.75deg separation between LLCC and
cold cloud and weak temperature gradient in cold cloud features. MET=1.5 based
on W- trend. FT based on DT. CI held at 2.5 based on constraints for initial
weakening.

ASCAT pass at 1420 UTC indicated 30kt surrounding the system.

Forecast track based on a consensus of models steering the system to the west
southwest under the influence of a mid-level ridge to the south of the system.
This moves the system closer to the upper level ridge, so shear is forecast to
continue decreasing during the next 24 hours. However the system is also moving
into a region of cooler water, so there exists only a small opportunity during
Saturday for the system to reach TC intensity after which time the lack of ocean
heat content is expected to dominate.

REMARKS:
Position poor, based on animated near-IR and persistence and aided by recent
microwave imagery.

Deep convection is slowly diminishing and cloud top temperatures have warmed in
the last 24 hours. Recent IR and microwave imagery shows low level cloud
organisation still evident with the LLCC <.75 deg from CDO. CIMSS indicates the
system is moving into weaker shear environment [<10 kt] to the south under the
upper level ridge axis. SSMI/AMSRE Precipitable Water imagery suggests dry air
entrainment along the western flank. Outflow remains good to the north.

Dvorak: Due to unavailability of sufficient data, unable to derive DT value at
2200UTC. MET=2.0 based on W- trend. PAT=2.0. FT based on MET and PAT. CI held at
2.5 based on constraints for initial weakening.

Forecast track based on a consensus of models continue to steer the system to
the west southwest under the influence of a mid-level ridge to the south of the
system. This is moving the system closer to the upper level ridge, so shear is
forecast to continue decreasing during the next 12 to 24 hours. However the
system is also moving into a region of cooler waters [26 degrees], so there
exists only a small window of opportunity early Sunday for the system to reach
TC intensity after which time the lack of ocean heat content is expected to
dominate.

REMARKS:
120300Z POSITION NEAR 21.0S 99.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 560 NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST
OF COCOS ISLAND, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SUBSTANTIAL WARMING OF THE CLOUD
TOPS AND CONVECTION BEING DISPLACED DOWNSTREAM OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). AN 112215Z SSMIS IMAGE REVEALS POOR ORGANIZATION OF THE LLCC
AND LITTLE REMAINING DEEP CONVECTION. ANIMATED MULT-SPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
DRIER SOUTHEASTERLIES BECOMING ENTRAINED INTO THE SYSTEM CENTER. ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS SUBSIDENCE SUPPRESSING OUTFLOW OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE SYSTEM.
THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30 TO 35 KNOTS
FROM PGTW, APRF, AND KNES. TC 14S IS BEING STEERED STEADILY TO THE WEST BY A
MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST INDIAN OCEAN. AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES
TO TRACK WESTWARD, DECREASING SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SST) AND RESTRICTED OUTFLOW
WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO WEAKEN BELOW WARNING THRESHOLD CRITERIA FOR THE INDIAN
OCEAN BASIN WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS. AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN CLOSE
AGREEMENT, THEREFORE THIS FORECAST IS CLOSE TO MODEL CONSENSUS. THIS IS THE FINAL
WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVMARFCSTCEN).
THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 120000Z IS 12 FEET. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 13S (BINGIZA) WARNINGS
(WTXS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.//
