TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK FOR THE CENTRAL INDIAN OCEAN
Issued at 12:12pm WDT on Wednesday the 6th of February 2008
For the area south of LATITUDE 10 SOUTH between LONGITUDES 90 - 110 EAST
At 11am WDT, a tropical low was located near 15.8S 103.1E and moving slowly
east. Currently the environment is unfavourable for further development and the
low is expected to track further east over the next few days and move out of the
region. There are no other significant tropical lows evident and the likelihood
of a tropical cyclone developing in the next three days is:
Thursday : Moderate
Friday : Moderate
Saturday : Low
** NOTE: Development potential is an estimate of the probability of **
** tropical cyclone development within a 24 hour period. **
** LOW = 10% or less MODERATE = 20-40% HIGH = 50% or more **

TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK FOR NORTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA
Issued at 2:00pm WDT on Wednesday the 6th of February 2008
For the area south of LATITUDE 10 SOUTH between LONGITUDES 110 - 125 EAST
There are no significant lows currently in the region however a tropical low
near 16S 103E is expected to move east and enter the area late on Friday. In
combination with an expected increase in monsoonal activity across the region it
is likely a significant system will become established in waters off the North
West coast over the weekend.
The likelihood of a tropical cyclone occurring in the region in the next three
days is:
Thursday :Low
Friday :Moderate
Saturday :High

Name: Tropical Low
Data At: 0600 UTC
Latitude: 16.1S
Longitude: 105.5E
Location Accuracy: within 15 nm (28 km)
Movement Towards: east southeast (109 deg)
Speed of Movement: 5 knots (8 km/h)
Maximum 10-Minute Wind: 30 knots (55 km/h)
Maximum 3-Second Wind Gust: 45 knots (85 km/h)
Central Pressure: 992 hPa
Radius of 34-knot winds NE quadrant:

Radius of 48-knot winds NW quadrant:
Radius of 64-knot winds:
Radius of Maximum Winds: n/a
Dvorak Intensity Code: T2.5/2.5/D1.0/24HRS
Pressure of outermost isobar: 1002 hPa
Radius of outermost closed isobar: 100 nm (185 km)
Storm Depth: Deep
FORECAST DATA
Date/Time : Location : Loc. Accuracy: Max Wind : Central Pressure
(UTC) : degrees : nm (km): knots(km/h): hPa
+12: 07/1800: 16.3S 106.7E: 040 (075): 030 (055): 992
+24: 08/0600: 16.3S 108.0E: 060 (110): 030 (055): 992
+36: 08/1800: 16.1S 109.4E: 080 (150): 030 (055): 992
+48: 09/0600: 16.3S 110.8E: 100 (185): 035 (065): 988
REMARKS:
The Dvorak analysis gives DT number of 2.5 using shear analysis averaged over 3 hours. The low has shown signs of development in the past 24 hrs with deep convection closer to the low level centre, however, moderate shear over the system persists with deep convection confined to the southwest of the centre. In the longer term the system is likely to gradually intensify as it encounters higher SSTs and lower shear.
Notes:
This product is issued every six hours; the Cyclone Advices (Watches and Warnings) are
usually issued more frequently and contain more useful information for coastal communities.
Time Conversion from UTC to local:
WST add 8 hrs (Add another hour for daylight saving)
CST add 9 hrs 30 min
EST add 10 hrs (Add another hour for daylight saving)

The next bulletin for this system will be issued by: 08/0100 UTC by Perth TCWC.
