最新報文升格 Marcia 到四級強烈熱帶氣旋，風速 90 節，和 Kate 並列。



Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Marcia at 6:00 pm EST:

Intensity: category 4, sustained winds near the centre of 165 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 230 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 9 kilometres of 20.6 degrees South, 150.6 degrees East , 160 kilometres east northeast of Mackay and 280 kilometres north of Yeppoon .
Movement: west southwest at 19 kilometres per hour .

Severe tropical cyclone Marcia has now intensified to a category 4 cyclone, and continues to move west-southwest towards the Queensland coast. The cyclone is expected to turn more southwest during the next few hours and make landfall between Mackay and Gladstone early on Friday.

A separate Severe Weather Warning is current for areas south of Double Island Point and west to the Great Dividing Range.

BoM 豁出去了，不僅搶先升格到強烈熱帶氣旋還直接評價 85 節，一舉超越 Lam。



Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Marcia at 3:00 pm EST:

Intensity: category 3, sustained winds near the centre of 155 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 220 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 20 kilometres of 20.5 degrees South, 151.0 degrees East , 290 kilometres north of Yeppoon and 200 kilometres east northeast of Mackay .
Movement: west southwest at 26 kilometres per hour .

Severe tropical cyclone Marcia continues to move southwest towards the Queensland coast. The cyclone is expected to maintain this motion through to landfall between St Lawrence and Gladstone early on Friday. This very dangerous cyclone is now at category 3 intensity and continuing to intensify extremely rapidly. It is now forecast to reach category 4 by landfall.

A separate Severe Weather Warning is current for areas south of Double Island Point and west to the Great Dividing Range.

REMARKS:
The system has undergone a developing trend during the last 24 hours. CIMSS deep
layer shear shows only 5 to 10 knots of northeasterly shear over the system,
consistent with recent microwave passes showing only marginal displacement of
the centre between the low and mid levels.

The satellite signature has been largely CDO-like during the last 24 hours,
showing evidence of shear reducing with a more uniform distribution of the
temperature gradient around the deep convection compared with 24 hours ago.
Confidence of the LLCC position is high given recent microwave and visible
satellite pictures, and is located more than 1 degree under the deep convection.
DT is therefore 3.5. MET is 3.0, and PAT is 3.5. Final T 3.5.

Intensity is analysed at 50 knots 10 minute mean, based on Dvorak and supported
by 23Z ASCAT pass which shows a small area of 50 knot winds in the southeast
quadrant. Surface automatic weather station obs at Marion Reef reached 42 knots
at 2120Z. A TMI microwave pass at 2106Z depicted a partially complete eye wall
with approximately 0.8 wrap, and this is reflected in the 2332 MTSAT VIS image.

Confidence in the track forecast remains high with a strong steering influence
from the mid-level ridge to the east and upper trough to the west. NWP tracks
are generally tightly clustered around a landfall near Shoalwater Bay on the
central Queensland coast early on Friday morning local time. Expect the along
track shear to remain low to moderate prior to landfall, allowing
intensification at or just below the standard rate until then. NWP models show
some assymetrization of the mid-level signature

The system has curved onto a southwesterly track in the past 12 hours, under the
dominant steering influence of a subtroical ridge to the east. The latter
feature should remain the primary steering influence, and this should see Marcia
continue a general southwesterly track with little change in forward speed up to
landfall on the central Queensland coast early Friday morning. Deterministic and
ensemble NWP models are tightly clustered in agreement with this track scenario.
Models suggest the E/NE vertical shear should remain relatively weak for the
period it spends over water, and with little change in ocean heat content under
the forecast track, this should allow the system to intensify at or just below
the standard rate up to landfall.

BoM 突然升格並命名 Marcia。



Details of Tropical Cyclone Marcia at 7:00 pm EST:

Intensity: category 1, sustained winds near the centre of 65 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 95 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 110 kilometres of 17.6 degrees South, 155.0 degrees East , 760 kilometres northeast of Yeppoon and 850 kilometres north northeast of Bundaberg .
Movement: southwest at 22 kilometres per hour .

Tropical Cyclone Marcia has developed over the central Coral Sea, and is slowly strengthening. During today, the system curved onto a southwesterly track, and it is expected to maintain this general motion through to landfall on the eastern Queensland coast between St Lawrence and Hervey Bay early on Friday. Marcia is expected to slowly intensify, with a high chance of reaching category 2 intensisty by landfall.

A separate Severe Weather Warning is current for areas south of St Lawrence and west to the Great Dividing Range.

REMARKS:
Convection has increased significantly during the last 24 hours, with the system
showing a clear intensifying trend despite the presence of moderate to strong
easterly wind shear suggested by the 12UTC CIMSS winds.

Location of the LLCC has been difficult due to a dearth of proximal
observations. 12UTC ASCAT suggested a small area of gales in at least the
western quadrant. The system exhibits a uniform CDO on IR satellite imagery.
Applying the Central Cold Cover rule gives DT 2.5. MET and PAT agree, so final T
and CI are 2.5.

The system has been moving slowly east during the last 24 hours, however
influence from a mid-level ridge extending from the east should begin to steer
the system southwest during the next few hours, and this movement looks to be
maintained until landfall on the central Queensland coast during Thursday night
or Friday morning. NWP models suggest broadly  that moderate NE'ly shear will
persist over the system during most of this period and intensification is
expected to be slow. There is a significant possibility that tropical cyclone
intensity may not be reached.

Regardless of whether the system developes into a tropical cyclone, the pressure
gradient between the low and a high in the Tasman Sea will produce a broad area
of gales and heavy rain which will have a significant impact on the southern
Queensland coast.
