NEAR 15.7S 148.1E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 16.4S 148.9E, APPROXIMATELY
184 NM EAST OF CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY, RADAR IMAGERY FROM WILLIS ISLAND, SURFACE OBSERVATIONS, AND
A 271827Z SSMIS 91GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE INDICATE A CONSOLIDATING LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH FLARING DEEP CONVECTION IN THE
SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS DEPICTS A FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW TO MODERATE (15-20KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR,
GOOD UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW, AND WARM (29-30C) SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES. GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE A SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK TOWARD

Re: SPAC: 17U - Tropical Low
Tropical low 17U has a well defined low level circulation on satellite imagery,
with deep convection mostly confined to the southwestern quadrant. Confidence in
the position is good based on nearby surface observations and the morning ASCAT
pass, which depicts a broad circulation with the strongest winds [20 - 25 knots]
in the southern and western quadrants.
Dvorak analysis is based on a curved band pattern with an 0.35 wrap. DT is 2.0.
MET is 2.5 based on a 24 hour D trend, and PAT is also 2.5. Final T based on DT.
Intensity is analysed at 25 knots [10 minute mean], paying the ASCAT pass.
CIMSS satellite winds suggest that poleward outflow from the system is good.
However, equatorward outflow is somewhat supressed by northeasterlies from an
upper level anticyclone to the east, which is also responsible for the current
sheared appearance of the system. With this and the proximity to land being
mitigating factors, development is forecast below the standard rate for the next
48 hours. Beyond that, deep layer shear is forecast to ease and the system is
expected to reach category 3 intensity by late in the week, although well away
from the Queensland coast.
Tropical low 17U has been recently moving to the southwest, under the influence
of a mid-level steering ridge extending across the southern Coral Sea. This is
expected to continue in the short term, however overnight into Monday morning
the influence of this feature will wane as a mid-level trough approaches from
the west. The steering pattern will then become weak and variable for several
days, under the competing influences of mid-level westerlies to the north and a
new ridge building to the south. All guidance suggests, however, that a coastal
crossing is unlikely before a stronger upper trough captures the system late in
the week and steers it to the southeast out of the Australian area of
responsibility.

Re: SPAC: INVEST 99P
Most of the models are quite aggressive with 99P. Seems like it’s going to stall off of the NE Australian coast for a few days before heading in the direction of New Caledonia. Even the Euro shows a strong storm.
The 06z HWRF is one of the strongest I’ve ever seen, getting down to 898 mbar by 120 hrs

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
While Niran is struggling with shear, microwave is showing an eye-like feature trying to develop. Maybe this is a strong displaced MLC.

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
It’s got a well-defined eyewall now. Niran might be about to bomb out.

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
A good looking Cat 1/2 storm. It’ll probably be another SHem major, although likely nowhere close to the HWRF’s crazy sub-900 run from the other day.

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
Niran just got Delta’d — shear blew apart the compact core, and it dropped from 95 kt to 85 kt.

It might be a little stronger, but Niran is very similar to Delta when recon found a high end Cat 3/low end Cat 4.
