(1) AN AREA OF CONVECTION (REMNANTS OF TC 19P) HAS PERSISTED
NEAR 17.2S 135.9E, APPROXIMATELY 180 NM WEST OF MORNINGTON ISLAND,
AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
242110Z SSMIS 91GHZ IMAGE DEPICT THAT THE SYSTEM IS MAINTAINING ITS
ORGANIZATION DESPITE BEING OVER LAND, WITH FLARING DEEP CONVECTION
ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
AND LOW LEVEL BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC. THE REMNANTS OF TC 19P
ARE EXPERIENCING FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH
GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND LOW TO MODERATE (10-20KTS) VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT THE REMNANTS OF TC
19P WILL CONTINUE WESTWARD ACROSS WESTERN AUSTRALIA WHERE THE
DISTURBANCE WILL REACH THE COASTLINE AND QUICKLY INTENSIFY AS IT
TRAVELS OVER VERY WARM (30-32 DEGREES CELSIUS) WATER. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS
IS MEDIUM.

1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 15.5S 131.0E TO 14.9S 127.4E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 30 TO 35 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 270000Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 15.5S 130.8E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
THE AREA OF CONVECTION (REMNANTS OF TC 19P) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR
15.4S 132.0E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 15.5S 130.8E, APPROXIMATELY 185NM
SOUTH OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA. MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
262028Z SSMIS 91GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOW CONVECTIVE BANDING FROM THE
NORTH WRAPPING INTO A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC). THE REMNANTS OF
TC 19P ARE EXPERIENCING FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS FOR
DEVELOPMENT WITH NEAR RADIAL OUTFLOW AND LOW (10-15KTS) VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR. THE MAJORITY OF GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE
REMNANTS OF TC 19P WILL TRACK WESTWARD ACROSS AUSTRALIA SKIRTING
ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN COAST PRIOR TO TURNING TO A SOUTHWARD TRACK.
PRIOR TO THIS SOUTHWARD TURN, THE REMNANTS OF TC 19P WILL TRACK
ALONG THE SOUTHERN COASTLINE OF THE JOSEPH BONAPARTE GULF. SPREAD IN
THE MODEL SOLUTIONS WILL IMPACT THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE REMNANTS OF
TC 19P WILL SPEND PASSING OVER WATER ALONG THE COAST AND THUS IMPACT
SYSTEM INTENSITY. THEREFORE, WITH HIGH (30-31C) SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES AND CONDUCIVE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT, THE REMNANTS OF TC
19P COULD INTENSIFY AND REACH WARNING CRITERIA WITHIN THEN NEXT 24
HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 30 TO 35
KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 996 MB.
THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
280300Z.

ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 281643Z AMSR2 89GHZ
MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICT TIGHTLY CURVED CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING
INTO A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE REMNANTS OF TC 19P
ARE EXPERIENCING FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS WITH NEAR RADIAL
OUTFLOW AND LOW TO MODERATE (10-20 KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. GLOBAL
MODELS AGREE THAT THE REMNANTS OF TC 19P WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
WESTWARD TOWARD THE NORTHWESTERN AUSTRALIAN COAST, TURNING SOUTH-
SOUTHEASTWARD BEFORE THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION TRACKS OVER WARM (30-
31C) WATER. IF THE REMNANTS CONTINUE TO TRACK OVER WATER, 19P WILL
LIKELY INTENSIFY TO A TROPICAL CYCLONE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE
WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 30 TO 35 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 996 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH.
