TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 7
Issued at 7:30 pm ACST [8:00 pm AEST] on Thursday 15 February 2024Headline:
Tropical Low 07U likely to bring strong winds and heavy rainfall to the southern Gulf of Carpentaria coast ahead of expected coastal crossing on Friday.Areas Affected:
Warning Zone
Port Roper (NT) to Burketown (Qld), including Mornington Island and Borroloola, but not including Ngukurr.Watch Zone
None.Cancelled Zone
None.Details of Tropical Low at 6:30 pm ACST [7:00 pm AEST]:
Intensity: Tropical Low, sustained winds near the centre of 55 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 85 kilometres per hour.Location: within 35 kilometres of 15.2 degrees South 137.9 degrees East, estimated to be 195 kilometres east northeast of Borroloola and 215 kilometres northwest of Mornington Island.
Movement: southeast at 7 kilometres per hour.
Tropical Low 07U remains slow moving in the Gulf of Carpentaria and is expected to move to the southwest on Friday to make landfall between the NT/Qld border and Port Roper (NT). There is a moderate chance it strengthens into a tropical cyclone on Friday ahead of coastal crossing. Even if it doesn't develop into a tropical cyclone, parts of the Gulf of Carpentaria coast are likely to experience strong to gale force winds and heavy rainfall.
Later Friday it will weaken inland and then move west across the Northern Territory.
Hazards:
GALES with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS to 100 kilometres per hour could develop along the coast between Port McArthur and Mornington Island on Friday morning. There is a small chance that damaging wind gusts could extend west to Port Roper in the Northern Territory or east to Burketown in Queensland during Friday depending on the movement of 07U.HEAVY RAINFALL is expected to develop along the southern Gulf of Carpentaria coast overnight Thursday, becoming more likely on Friday as 07U moves closer to the coast. Locally intense rainfall is also possible depending on the development of 07U.
Tides will be HIGHER THAN NORMAL across southern Gulf of Carpentaria on Friday and extending to western Gulf of Carpentaria Saturday. Large waves may produce MINOR FLOODING of low-lying coastal areas as the system nears the coast on Friday.
Recommended Action:
For people in the Northern Territory NTES advises:- People in Borroloola and surrounding areas should activate their household plan now.
- Start preparations for a cyclone, know where you will shelter.
- Listen for the next advice.

Deep convection continues to increase to the west of the estimated low level centre, with the strongest winds estimated in the northwest quadrant. Dvorak analysis yields DT = 2.0 based on a 0.3 - 0.4 curved band wrap (3 hour average DT = 2.3). MET = 2.0 based on a 24 hour D- trend, with PT adjusted to 2.5. Final T and CI are 2.5. Intensity is set at 35 knots (NW quadrant) based on Dvorak and earlier near gales at Centre Island, 50 nautical miles to the west of the centre. There is no objective guidance available at present. The environment is broadly favourable for development. SSTs in the Gulf are very warm at 30C. An upper trough to the south of the system is providing good upper divergence and poleward outflow. The system lies under estimated low to moderate vertical wind shear. Some model guidance indicates 07U may reach tropical cyclone intensity before making landfall, however remaining time over water is limited. Steering is expected to be to the south-southwest in the short term under the combined influence of an upper trough to the south and mid-level ridge to the east. On Friday night a new mid-level ridge is expecxted to build to the south of the system, turning it more west-southwest, and this steering pattern should persist at least over the weekend, moving the system over land across the Northern Territory. In the longer term, guidance indicates the low may move offshore from the Kimberley coast mid next week, with the possibility of the system re-intensifying. There is some spread in the models at this range and a there is a high degree of uncertainty in this outcome.

FOR METEOROLOGISTS. 2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS. SUMMARY: INITIAL POSITION: 15.5S 137.5E INITIAL INTENSITY: 35 KTS GEOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: 119 NM NORTHWEST OF MORNINGTON ISLAND, AUSTRALIA MOVEMENT PAST 6 HOURS: WESTWARD AT 04 KTS SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT: 12 FEET SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADAR IMAGERY FROM AUSTRALIA DEPICTS A WELL-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) MOVING SLOWLY 30-35 NM OFF THE AUSTRALIAN COASTLINE IN THE SOUTHERN GULF OF CARPENTARIA. A CIRCULAR REGION OF DEEP CONVECTION WITH CLOUD TOPS COLDER THAN -80 DEGREES CELSIUS COVERS THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE CIRCULATION, BUT THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT CONSISTS OF A DRY SLOT AND A LACK OF CONVECTION, POSSIBLY DUE TO LIGHT NORTHERLY SHEAR APPARENT FROM UPPER-LEVEL CIRRUS CLOUD MOTIONS. CENTRE ISLAND, LOCATED CLOSE TO THE INNERMOST CONVECTIVE BAND ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE LLCC HAS BEEN MEASURING 10-MINUTE SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30-33 KT DURING THE PAST 3 HOURS. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET AT 35 KT BASED ON THIS DATA AND AGENCY DVORAK FIXES. INITIAL WIND RADII BASIS: SURFACE OBSERVATIONS CURRENT STEERING MECHANISM: SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH AGENCY DVORAK AND AUTOMATED FIXES: PGTW: T2.5 - 35 KTS ADRM: T2.0 - 30 KTS FORECASTER ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT ENVIRONMENT: FAVORABLE VWS: 5-10 KTS SST: 30-31 CELSIUS OUTFLOW: MODERATE RADIAL ANALYSIS CONFIDENCE: INITIAL POSITION: HIGH INITIAL INTENSITY: HIGH INITIAL WIND RADII: MEDIUM 3. FORECAST REASONING. SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THIS INITIAL PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE ESTABLISHES THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TROPICAL CYCLONE 14P IS CONSOLIDATING AND ORGANIZING, BUT HAS LITTLE TIME REMAINING OVER WATER. STEERING CURRENTS ARE PRESENTLY WEAK BETWEEN DUELING MID-LEVEL RIDGES IN THE CORAL SEA AND OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA, BUT MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT THAT A LIGHT NORTHEASTERLY NET STEERING FLOW WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED IN THE NEAR-TERM AND PUSH 14P ASHORE IN AUSTRALIA IN ABOUT 12 HOURS. LITTLE OR NO INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BE POSSIBLE IN THAT TIME, GIVEN THAT A SYMMETRIC INNER CORE STRUCTURE HAS NOT YET FORMED. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE SLOW STORM MOTION, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT 14P SPENDS SLIGHTLY LONGER OVER WATER THAN EXPECTED, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO SOME INTENSIFICATION PRIOR TO LANDFALL. POST-LANDFALL, 14P WILL DISSIPATE, AND THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA WILL TURN 14P'S REMNANTS WESTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN AUSTRALIA, POTENTIALLY REEMERGING OVER WATER IN THE SOUTHEASTERN INDIAN OCEAN IN SEVERAL DAYS. SHOULD THIS OCCUR, THE REMNANTS WOULD BE MONITORED FOR REGENERATION. MODEL DISCUSSION: DYNAMICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT DURING THE SHORT FORECAST PERIOD. THE JTWC TRACK AND INTENSITY FORECASTS ARE CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS. FORECAST CONFIDENCE: TRACK 0 - 72 HR: HIGH INTENSITY 0 - 72 HR: MEDIUM// NNNN

Issued at 7:01 am ACST [7:31 am AEST] on Friday 16 February 2024
Headline:
Tropical Low 07U likely to bring strong winds and heavy rainfall to the southern Gulf of Carpentaria coast ahead of expected coastal crossing today.
Areas Affected:
Warning Zone
Port Roper (NT) to Burketown (Qld), including Mornington Island and Borroloola, but not including Ngukurr .
Watch Zone
None.
Cancelled Zone
None.
Details of Tropical Low at 6:30 am ACST [7:00 am AEST]:
Intensity: Tropical Low, sustained winds near the centre of 65 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 95 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 35 kilometres of 15.7 degrees South 137.7 degrees East, estimated to be 155 kilometres east northeast of Borroloola and 190 kilometres northwest of Mornington Island.
Movement: slow moving.
Tropical Low 07U is slowly developing over the southwestern Gulf of Carpentaria. The system is forecast to move to the southwest and make landfall between the NT/Qld border and Port McArthur (NT), most likely this afternoon. There is a moderate chance it could strengthen into a tropical cyclone ahead of the coastal crossing. Even if it does not develop into a tropical cyclone, parts of the Gulf of Carpentaria coast are likely to experience strong to gale force winds and heavy rainfall later today.
Tonight the system is expected to weaken inland, and then move west across the Northern Territory over the weekend.
Hazards:
GALES with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS to 100 kilometres per hour could develop along the coast between Bing Bong and Mornington Island this morning. There is a small chance that damaging wind gusts could extend west to Port Roper in the Northern Territory or east to Burketown in Queensland later today, depending on the movement of 07U.
HEAVY RAINFALL is expected to develop along the southern Gulf of Carpentaria coast today, becoming more likely as 07U moves closer to the coast. Locally intense rainfall is also possible depending on the development of 07U.
Tides will be HIGHER THAN NORMAL across the southern Gulf of Carpentaria today and on Saturday. Large waves may produce MINOR FLOODING of low-lying coastal areas as the system nears the coast on Friday.
Recommended Action:
For people in the Northern Territory NTES advises:
- People in Borroloola and surrounding areas should activate their household plan now.
- Start preparations for a cyclone, know where you will shelter.
- Listen for the next advice.

Deep convection has continued to persist to the west and northwest of the centre. The low level centre is exposed about 25nm to the east of the deepest convection. Dvorak analysis using curved band pattern yields DT = 2.0. MET = 1.5 based on a 24 hour S trend, with PT adjusted to 2.0. Final T = 2.0 and CI is held at 2.5. Shear pattern has not been used due to the pulsating nature of deep convection. Intensity is set at 35 knots (NW quadrant) based on observations. There is no objective guidance available at present. The environment is broadly favourable for development. An upper trough to the south of the system is providing good upper divergence and poleward outflow. The system lies under estimated low to moderate vertical wind shear. Some model guidance indicates 07U may reach tropical cyclone intensity just before making landfall, however remaining time over water is limited. Steering is expected to be to the south-southwest under the combined influence of an upper trough to the south and mid-level ridge to the east. From late Friday, a new mid-level ridge builds to the south of the system, turning it more towards the west-southwest. This steering should persist during the weekend, moving the system over land across central Northern Territory. In the longer term, guidance indicates the low may move offshore from the Kimberley coast mid next week, with the possibility of the system re-intensifying. Copyright Commonwealth of Australia == The next bulletin for this system will be issued by: 16/0730 UTC.

FORECAST DISCUSSION: TROPICAL CYCLONE 14P HAS BEEN QUASISTATIONARY FOR THE PAST SIX HOURS, MIRED IN WEAK STEERING CURRENTS BETWEEN TWO MID-LEVEL RIDGES OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA AND THE CORAL SEA. HOWEVER, MODELS REMAIN IN AGREEMENT THAT A NET NORTHEASTERLY STEERING FLOW WILL DEVELOP SHORTLY AND PUSH 14P SOUTHWESTWARD AND INLAND OVER NORTHERN AUSTRALIA WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS. DISSIPATION AND A SUBSEQUENT TRACK OF THE REMNANTS WESTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN AUSTRALIA WILL ENSUE. THIS TRACK COULD POTENTIALLY CARRY THE REMNANTS OUT INTO THE SOUTHEAST INDIAN OCEAN IN SEVERAL DAYS, AT WHICH POINT MODELS SUGGEST REGENERATION IS POSSIBLE. SHOULD THE REMNANTS IN FACT SURVIVE AND REEMERGE OVER WATER, THEY WILL BE MONITORED FOR REGENERATION. MODEL DISCUSSION: DYNAMICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE STORM TRACK DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD, AND THE JTWC FORECAST IS CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS. THE JTWC INTENSITY FORECAST IS CLOSE TO THE MEAN OF THE OVERLAND DECAY FORECAST FROM AVAILABLE GLOBAL MODELS. FORECAST CONFIDENCE: TRACK 0 - 72 HR: HIGH INTENSITY 0 - 72 HR: HIGH// NNNN
