REMARKS:
172100Z1 POSITION NEAR 11.6S8 128.2E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20S (ALISTAIR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 140 NM
WEST-NORTHWEST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
171730Z9 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 AND 45 KNOTS. ANIMATED INFRARED
IMAGERY DEPICTS DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE APPARENT LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER. ANIMATED IMAGERY AND THE 200 MB ANALYSIS
INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS EXPERIENCING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FROM
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS EQUATORWARD OF THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS. TC
20S IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING
INFLUENCE OF THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE ESTABLISHED OVER AUSTRALIA. THE
UPPER RIDGE CURRENTLY SITUATED OVER NORTHERN AUSTRALIA IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE OVER THE TIMOR SEA AND WILL PROVIDE MORE FAVORABLE OUTFLOW
CONDITIONS BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE OVERALL
ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT INDICATES A SLOW INTENSIFICATION
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
171800Z7 IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 180300Z2, 180900Z8, 181500Z5
AND 182100Z2. JUSTIFICATION: CORRECT CHECKSUM IN WARNING POSITION
FIX TIME.//
