WEATHER PERTH

[HURAKAN]

AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 8.2S 95.9E,
APPROXIMATELY 245 NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF THE COCOS ISLANDS. A 301127Z
QUIKSCAT PASS SHOWS THE CONVECTION IS ASSOCIATED WITH AN ELONGATED
LLCC WITH WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS AT THE CENTER AND STRONGER WINDS
ON THE PERIPHERY. HOWEVER, A 301518Z AMSU-B PASS INDICATES THE LLCC
MAY BE BEGINNING TO CONSOLIDATE. THE DISTURBANCE IS UNDER AN AREA
OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND FAVORABLE DIFFLUENCE ALOFT.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS.
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. THE
POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN
THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS POOR.

[HURAKAN]

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 12.6S
132.5E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 13.3S 133.3E, APPROXIMATELY 110 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA. RECENT ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A WELL-DEFINED AREA OF LOW LEVEL CYCLONIC
TURNING OVER LAND, BUT TRACKING EASTWARD TOWARD THE GULF OF
CARPENTARIA. PRESSURE FALLS AT THE CENTER ARE NEAR 5 MB IN 24 HOURS.
A 301335Z AMSU-B IMAGE SHOWS CONVECTIVE BANDING ON BOTH THE NORTHERN
AND SOUTHERN PERIPHERIES OF THE DISTURBANCE. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
REVEALS A 200 MB ANTICYCLONE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP JUST TO THE EAST OF
THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC), CAUSING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
VALUES TO LOWER. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20
TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 995
MB. SINCE THE SYSTEM IS TRACKING CLOSER TO THE COAST AND THE UPPER
LEVEL CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS
UPGRADED TO FAIR.

"Tropical Perturbation"? There's no such category in English. It's a tropical disturbance.

[Chacor]

Nothing from TCWC Jakarta, which makes me wonder if they are indeed ready to take over this season.

2.B OTHER INFORMATIONS:
T AND CI=2.0

LATEST MICROWAVE IMAGERY (LAST ONE IS METOP OF 1900Z) WERE STILL SHOWING
A LLCC OUTSIDE OF THE MAIN DEEP CONVECTION THAT HAS MOVED LITTLE WITH
ONLY A SMALL EASTNORTHEASTWARDS DRIFT. HOWEVER SINCE 2300 UTC, NEW BURST
OF CONVECTION (WITH TOP COLDER THAN -81C ON IR IMAGERY) HAS BUILT AROUND THE
CENTER. INTENSITY IS KEPT AT 25 KT FOR THIS ADVISORY, BUT THE SYSTEM COULD BE
NOW ON AN INTENSIFICATION TREND.
AT 0000Z , IN THE ISLAND OF JUAN DE NOVA, MSLP VARIATION WITHIN THE LAST
24 HEURES IS IN THE -2 HPA RANGE.

ENVIRONMENT IS STILL FAVORABLE, SO INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST. DURING
THE 01/01/08, AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS FORECAST TO BUILT SOUTWESTWARD
OF THE SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD ENHANCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND CONSEQUENTLY,
IMPROVE THE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE. THAT IS WHY INTENSIFICATION RATE IS A
LITTLE STRONGER THAN CLIMATOLOGY. THIS SYSTEM COULD BE CLOSED TO INTENSE TROPICAL
CYCLONE STAGE AT THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

ABOUT TRACK, IT SHOULD PROGRESSIVELY TAKEN A MORE SOUTHERLY MOTION STILL
AT LOW SPEED TODAY BEFORE ACCELERATING, MORE OBVIOUSLY DURING THE
02/01/08, AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS MOVING AWAY IN THE SOUTHERN MOZAMBIQUE
CHANNEL. 30/12Z NWP MODELS RUN HAS SLIGHTY MOVED THEIR TRACKS EASTWARDS.
SO THAT IS THE CASE OF THE PRESENT GUIDANCE THAT IS CLOSED TO THE ECMWF SOLUTION.=

[CrazyC83]

The forecast is big: Intense Tropical Cyclone!

[Coredesat]

If this becomes a nameable system, I imagine we'll get our answer. However, after Lee, I'm pretty sure they're not going to be doing much this season.

TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK


TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK
FOR THE AREA BETWEEN LONGITUDES 125 EAST - 142 EAST
Issued by the BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY, DARWIN
at 2:15 pm CST Monday 31 December 2007

An active monsoon trough lies across the Top End with a developing, slow moving
low about 200 kilometres east of Katherine. The low is expected to remain over
land for a day or so but could move into the Gulf of Carpentaria later in the
week.

The potential for development into a Tropical Cyclone over the next three days
is estimated to be:
Tuesday: Low
Wednesday: Moderate
Thursday: Moderate

NOTE: Development Potential is an estimate of the probability of tropical
cyclone development for each day... Low = 10% or less, Moderate = 20% - 40%,
High = 50% or more.

It's a Tropical Depression now.

2.B OTHER INFORMATIONS:
T AND CI=2.5-

LOCATION OF THE LOW LEVEL CENTER HAS BEEN ESTIMATED WITH A GOOD PROXY
ACCORDING TO MICRO-WAVE DATA (SSMI AT 0220 Z, WHICH SHOWS A BETTER
ORGANZATION OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION, AND A BETTER DEFINED CURVED
BAND OF DEEP CONVECTION LIGHTLY EASTWARD OF THE LLCC).

THIS CENTER IS TEMPORARILLY TRACKING WESTNORTWESTWARDS, AND IT SHOULD
CURVE EASTWARDS, BEFORE TRACKING GLOBALLY SOUTHWARDS WITHIN THE NEXT
24
HOURS, INTENSIFYING RAPIDLY, AND ACCELERATING AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS
SHIFTING EASTWARDS IN THE SOUTHERN MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL

ENVIRONMENT REMAINS FAVORABLE. DURING THE 01/01/08, AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH
SHOULD BUILD SOUTWESTWARD OF THE SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD ENHANCED
POLEWARD
OUTFLOW AND IMPROVE THE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE, AND ALLOW A RAPID
INTENSIFICATION OD THE SYSTEM.=
