SIO: SEROJA - Post-Tropical

Re: SIO: SEROJA - Tropical Storm
This has the potential to be the last Big One of the Southern Hemisphere for the 2020-21 season. It also looks like it’ll absorb the weaker forming TC that’ll be to its upper left in a few days.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Re: SIO: SEROJA - Tropical Storm
Pretty aggressive first forecast from JTWC. Certainly has potential to get pretty strong.

I am in no way a professional. Take what I say with a grain of salt as I could be totally wrong. Please refer to the NHC, NWS, or SPC for official information.

I don't think so. There is not much time for this cyclone to intensify in that the deep-layer shear is expected to increase a lot since Wednesday.

Then it would be a huge model bust. Even the Euro is showing a major out of this, and the GFS and HWRF have it become a Cat 4 or borderline 5.

Re: SIO: SEROJA - Tropical Storm
Lots of uncertainty with this one given its complex interaction with 23U (and possibly even with a third low) starting in about 3 days. The current BOM day-5 forecast indicates a position uncertainty of more than 1,500 km!

Re: SIO: SEROJA - Tropical Storm
Both these systems atm have a good uppers to exhaust mass air with, when they do start too ramp up.
With that modeled trough of lower pressure to the east on land over WA on the boms chart. It will get interesting they will always run to the lower pressue as rule of thumb.
The weakness lookk there atm.

Re: SIO: SEROJA - Tropical Storm
When the system moves a bit further south be no suprise to see a rapid intensification.

Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre
TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION BULLETIN
Issued at 2:56 pm WST on Monday 5 April 2021
Tropical Cyclone Seroja (Category 2) was located at 2:00 pm AWST near 10.8S
121.9E,
that is 205 km west southwest of Kupang, Indonesia and 800 km north of Broome
and moving west southwest at 10 kilometres per hour.
Tropical Cyclone Seroja lies over Indonesian waters to the southwest of West
Timor, Indonesia. It will track to the southwest and continue to intensify in
coming days over ocean well to the north and away from the Western Australian
mainland. There is the risk it will approach the west Pilbara from as early as
Thursday evening but more likely late in the week or over the weekend.
The next Information Bulletin will be issued at 9 pm AWST.

REMARKS:
Tropical Cyclone Seroja has been slowly moving towards the west-southwest,
further away from the Indonesian archipelago. Infra-red satellite imagery have
resulted in fair confidence in the analysis location.
Dvorak analysis at 18UTC, FT 3.5 is determined from PAT with D 24hr trend. CIMSS
and NOAA ADT had CI of 3.4 and 3.2 respectively. The latest SATCON was 54 knots
at 1636 UTC, which is lower than the previous 69 knots at 11UTC. Final intensity
55 knots.
CIMMS shear reports ESE 20 knots at 18 UTC. Shear is expected to remain between
10 and 20 knots until late on Wednesday when it is forecast to decrease. SSTs
are around 30 degrees and there is abundant moisture currently. Some guidance
indicates the presence of drier air to east of the system on Tuesday. This
combined with the ongoing low to moderate E'ly shear may inhibit intensification
over the next 48 hours or so.
Some of the latest model guidance indicates a lower peak intensity during
Tuesday and Wednesday compared to previous model runs. The forecast has been
adjusted slightly lower, but a gradual intensification is still forecast.
Steady southwest movement is forecast as the mid-level ridge strengthens to the
south, taking the system away from the Indonesian archipelago. A track, well off
but roughly parallel to the WA coastline is forecast.
Interaction with another tropical system to the west [23U] results in a high
level of uncertainty for the extended forecast [track and intensity]. A range of
scenarios exist including Seroja remaining offshore, well off the WA coastline,
to impacts over the far west Pilbara coast or a later impact along the upper
west coast of WA.

Seems like it ate a ton of dry air, because it looks very dead all of a sudden.
