REMARKS:
T2.0. Convection has increased in the last few hours with diurnal trend.
Organisation improving slightly.

Favourable outflow in all quadrants under the influence of an upper atmospheric
anticyclone. No significant wind shear expected over the next 2 days before an
upper trough should impact the system on Friday. As a result the system is
expected to develop over the next 48 hours and move to the south-southeast on
Wednesday and Thursday, before experiencing increasing wind shear and steering
to the southeast.

+72: 23/1800: 19.9S 157.4E: 280 [520]: 035 [065]: 995
REMARKS:
Dvorak analysis based on a curved band pattern with 0.3 degree wrap, giving DT
of 2.0. MT and PT agree. FT based on MT as DT is not clear.

Organisation has improved slightly and convection has consolidated in the
vicinity of the low in the last 24 hours. The low appears to be in a favourable
environment for development with low wind shear and sea surface temperatures
around 30 degrees.

However, an upper trough is expected to amplify across eastern Australia on
Thursday, which will increase the wind shear across the low into Friday. The
increase in the wind shear is likely to hinder development from Friday onwards,
though computer model guidance indicates that intensification may still occur
while the system possibly undergoes extra tropical transition.

Looks like a depression of around 25-30 knots :wink: Well, anyways it has a nice area of convection. Looks promising!

1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
150 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 13.4S 155.2E TO 18.0S 157.9E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 25 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IM-
AGERY AT 202030Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 14.1S 155.6E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 05
KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 14.0S
154.8E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 14.1S 155.7E, APPROXIMATELY 625 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION OVER A CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 201747Z SSMI IMAGE DEPICTS IMPROVED,
FORMATIVE CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE DEEP CONVECTION
AROUND THE LLCC. THE TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER LOOP ALSO INDICATES A
CONSOLIDATING SYSTEM WITH A DISTINCT DEEP MOISTURE ENVELOPE. RECENT
SCATTEROMETERY DATA SUPPORTS A STRENGTHENING LLCC WITH 20-25 KNOT
WINDS. ADDITIONALLY, SHIP OBSERVATIONS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE
SYSTEM SUPPORT THE LLCC POSITION AND INTENSITY ASSESSMENTS. UPPER-
LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS STRONG DIFFLUENCE OVER THE LLCC WITH WEAK
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND ENHANCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1001 MB. DUE TO INCREASED
CONSOLIDATION OF THE LLCC, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
212130Z.

REMARKS:
Dvorak analysis based on a curved band pattern with 0.35 degree wrap, giving DT
of 2.0. MT and PT give 2.0. FT based on MT as DT is not clear. CI held at 2.5.

Overnight convection has sheared off with persistent convection remaining lear
the LLCC. CIMSS analysing 20 knots of shear over the system which is likely the
cause for lack of development. Models hinting at similar shear for the next
36-48 hours. Slow development is still considered likely over this period with
inflow/outflow favourable.

An upper trough is expected to amplify across eastern Australia on Thursday,
which will increase the wind shear across the low into Friday. The increase in
the wind shear is likely to steer the system east-southeast and hinder
development from Friday onwards. Computer model guidance indicates that
intensification due to extra-tropical transition may occur over this period.

REMARKS:
Dvorak analysis based on a shear pattern with less than 0.5 degree separation
between the estimated location of the low level centre and the dense overcast,
giving DT of 3.0. MT and PT suggest 2.5. FT based on DT and supporting ASCAT
wind observations at 1127UTC.

Increasing shear has begun to impact on Tropical Cyclone Fina due to an
amplifying upper trough across eastern Australia. This increasing shear is
expected to continue impacting on Fina as it moves in a southerly direction and
should limit any further development. However, computer model guidance indicates
that intensification could still be possible due to extra-tropical transition
that may occur into Friday. Gale force winds are possible on Friday as this
transition occurs and a surge of southeasterly winds feed into the south of the
system.
