REMARKS:
020300Z5 POSITION NEAR 14.1S6 134.3E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 15P (EVAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 240 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 07
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
012330Z9 MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY
IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS.
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE DEEP
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH TC 15P HAS DIMINSHED OVER THE PAST
SIX HOURS AS IT CONTINUES TO TRACK OVER LAND. THE LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER IS EXPOSED TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE CONVECTION.
TC 15P IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING WESTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN
AUSTRALIA. TC 15P MAY MODERATELY INCREASE INTENSITY AS IT
TRACKS BACK OVER WATER AT APPROXIMATELY TAU 48. THE AVAILABLE
DYNAMIC AIDS, CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, NCEP GFS, AND UKMET
EGRR, ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO. HOWEVER, AN
ALTERNATE SCENARIO IS THAT TC 15P MAY DISSIPATE OVER LAND.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 020900Z1, 021500Z8, 022100Z5 AND 030300Z6.
REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (MONTY) FINAL WARNING (WTXS31 PGTW).
