Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Western Region
Issued at 2:00 pm WST on Wednesday 5 April 2017
for the period until midnight WST Saturday 8 April 2017.
Existing Cyclones in the Western Region:
Nil.
Potential Cyclones:
The monsoon trough lies just south of Indonesia and over waters north of the Northern Territory. A tropical low (26U) lies near 11S 113E, about 300 kilometres southwest of Bali. The system should develop further as it moves south to southwest into a slightly more favourable environment for tropical cyclone development.
During Friday it may take a more southeast track and intensify further before turning towards the southwest on Saturday where there is a chance it may develop into a tropical cyclone.
From Sunday the system will continue to move west or southwest and could start to weaken from late Sunday or Monday. At this stage is not expected to impact the WA mainland or Christmas Island.
Likelihood of this system being a tropical cyclone in the Western Region on:
Thursday:Low,
Friday:Moderate,
Saturday:High.

SIO TROPICAL CYCLONE 15S (FIFTEEN)
060900Z POSITION NEAR 13.5S 110.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 15S (FIFTEEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 572 NM
NORTH-NORTHWEST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS FURTHER
CONSOLIDATED AS CENTRAL CONVECTION DEEPENED, ALBEIT PARTIALLY OFFSET
FROM THE WELL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS
BASED ON THE MSI LOOP AND ON A 060225Z ASCAT BULLSEYE PASS. THE
INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE ASCAT PASS AND HELD SLIGHTLY HIGHER
THAN AGENCY DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS IN AN AREA OF STRONG (25-30 KNOT) WESTERLY
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). ADDITIONALLY, A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH IS
CAUSING SUBSIDENCE ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT. HOWEVER, THE VWS
AND SUBSIDENCE ARE MOSTLY OFFSET BY A STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW THAT IS
PROVIDING EXCELLENT VENTILATION TO THE CONVECTION. TC 15S IS TRACKING
ALONG THE NORTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE
SOUTHEAST. IT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD
THEN ON A MORE WESTWARD TRACK AS THE STR BUILDS. THE STRONG OUTFLOW
WILL PROMOTE MODEST INTENSIFICATION OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
AFTERWARDS, INCREASING VWS WILL PREVAIL AND GRADUALLY ERODE THEN
EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE THE SYSTEM BY TAU 72. AVAILABLE NUMERIC GUIDANCE
ARE IN OVERALL AGREEMENT WITH THE FORECAST TRACK; HOWEVER, THERE IS A
SIGNIFICANT SPREAD IN THE TRAJECTORY, LENDING LOW CONFIDENCE TO THE
JTWC INITIAL TRACK FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
060600Z IS 10 FEET. THIS CANCELS AND SUPERSEDES REF A (WTXS21 PGTW
060130). NEXT WARNINGS AT 062100Z AND 070900Z.//

REMARKS:
Tropical low [26U] was located using visible and microwave imagery together with
recent ASCAT passes.
26U has developed considerably overnight. Initial T1 classification was assigned
at 05/0600 UTC.
Dvorak Analysis: Curved band wrap of between 0.4 and 0.5 [with some breaks in
convection] gives a DT of 2.5 [a shear pattern would yield DTs of 3.0]. Trend
was D+ and MET/PAT was 2.5. FT/CI set to 2.5. Intensity set to 35 knots with
gales in the NW and SW quadrants. Most recent visible imagery showed a slight
weakening in the structure of the system.
ASCAT passes around 02 UTC showed gales in the NW and SW quadrants. This is
consistent with microwave imagery earlier in the day with persistent deep
convection in those quadrants.
SSTs are 29-30C and ocean heat content is favourable.
CIMSS showed good poleward outflow and upper divergence. CIMSS shear of 15/20
knots appears a little higher than satellite imagery would suggest.
The system is forecast to become a tropical cyclone during Friday. Given the
lack of strong synoptic forcing, the intensity may fluctuate somewhat.
Intensification to category 2 is possible for a period. The presence of dry air
and increasing shear late Sunday should cause the system to weaken, however,
gales may persist in southern quadrants due to the pressure gradient associated
with a ridge of high pressure to the south.
The system is being steered towards the south southeast due to an upper trough
passing to the south. On Saturday, a building mid level ridge will steer the
system towards the southwest. The majority of NWP guidance is consistent with
the forecast track.
Tropical low [26U] is not expected to produce gales at Christmas Island or the
WA mainland.

Re: SIO: ERNIE - Tropical Cyclone (26U)
Appears to be rapidly intensifying. A thick CDG CDO has developed, and there is a clear hint of an eye. Likely T5.0 without constraints but T3.5 with them.

Re: SIO: ERNIE - Tropical Cyclone (26U)
Whew, this one has snuck up on me with severe weather season in full swing close to home. The poleward outflow channel is pretty sweet.

Let's wait and see when will JTWC wake up and finally decide to break constraints.

Re: SIO: ERNIE - Tropical Cyclone (26U)
JTWC says 95kts, BoM says 90 kts. Add those together and the result may be closer to the actual intensity.
Probably around 140 kts.
Probably around 140 kts.

JTWC this is a WMG eye and this absolutely justifies breaking the constraints.

Re: SIO: ERNIE - Tropical Cyclone (26U)
JTWC goes with 105 kt at 12Z, which is even lower than the 10-minute wind-speed estimate of 110 kt from BOM.
