REMARKS:
290300Z4 POSITION NEAR 19.3S3 116.0E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S (MONTY), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 225 NM
NORTHEAST OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 04
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
282330Z8 MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND ANIMATED RADAR
IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 75 AND 90 KNOTS. A RECENT 282355Z5
SSMI PASS REVEALED A SYMMETRICAL 15 NM DIAMETER EYE. THE
ENVIRONMENT ALOFT REMAINS FAVORABLE WITH RECENT ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY DISPLAYING THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF DUAL OUTFLOW
CHANNELS. TC 14S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD EARLY
IN THE FORECAST PERIOD ALONG THE NORTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A MID-LEVEL
STEERING RIDGE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH AND THEN IS EXPECTED TO
TURN POLEWARD AS AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WEAKENS THE
MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE. TC 14S IS FORECASTED TO INTENSIFY IN A
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH MID-PERIOD AND THEN WEAKEN AS IT
TRACKS OVER LAND. AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, CONSISTING OF NOGAPS,
EGRR, NCEP GFS, AND TLAPS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO.
THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF ALL AVAILABLE AIDS.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 290000Z1 IS 18 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 290900Z0, 291500Z7, 292100Z4 AND 010300Z4.//
