REMARKS:
060900Z POSITION NEAR 17.2S 119.1E.
06FEB20. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S (DAMIEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
162 NM WEST-NORTHWEST OF BROOME, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT
11 KNOTS (KTS) OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS DEEP CONVECTION WRAPPING AROUND, AND
OBSCURING, THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. THE INITIAL POSITION IS
BASED ON THE MSI, SUPPORTED BY THE BROOME, AUSTRALIA RADAR LOOP AND
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS, WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF
45 KTS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PGTW AND APRF DVORAK FIX INTENSITIES OF
T3.0 (45 KTS). GOOD EQUATORWARD AND POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNELS, LOW
(10-15 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), AND WARM (29-30 CELSIUS) SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURE, MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT VERY FAVORABLE FOR
CONTINUED, POSSIBLY RAPID, INTENSIFICATION. TC 14S IS TRACKING ALONG
THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR). OVER THE NEXT
24-36 HOURS, THE STR WILL SHIFT EASTWARD, AND 14S WILL RESPOND BY
TURNING POLEWARD. LANDFALL IS EXPECTED AROUND TAU 48, JUST TO THE
WEST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA. THROUGH TAU 36, SIGNIFICANT
INTENSIFICATION TO 95 KTS IS EXPECTED. AFTERWARD, LAND INTERACTION
AND LESS FAVORABLE VWS SHOULD SHOULD CAUSE DISSIPATION BY TAU 96.
DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT PRIOR TO
LANDFALL. AFTER LANDFALL, TWO CLUSTERS FORM IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE.
THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST FAVORS THE CLUSTER TO THE WEST (WHICH
INCLUDES ECMWF, GFS, GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN, AND NAVGEM), WITH FAIR
CONFIDENCE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 060600Z IS 15 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 061500Z, 062100Z, 070300Z AND 070900Z. REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 13S (FRANCISCO) WARNINGS (WTXS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-
HOURLY UPDATES.//

REMARKS:
060900Z POSITION NEAR 19.3S 71.7E.
06FEB20. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 13S (FRANCISCO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
816 NM EAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 11
KNOTS (KTS) OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC)
APPEARS ELONGATED IN ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (AMSI),
PROVIDING LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION. THE AMSI AND A
060426Z AMSU 89 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE INDICATES VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
(VWS) IS DISPLACING THE DEEP CONVECTION ABOUT 125 NM TO THE
SOUTHEAST. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KTS IS CONSISTENT WITH MULTI-
AGENCY DVORAK ESTIMATES OF T2.5 (35 KTS). WITH STRONG (25+ KT) VWS,
ROBUST POLEWARD OUTFLOW, AND WARM (27-28 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURE, THE ENVIRONMENT IS HOSTILE OVERALL. TC 13S IS TRACKING
ALONG THE SOUTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE. IN THE NEXT
12 HOURS, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TURN POLEWARD IN RESPONSE TO A
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) BUILDING TO THE SOUTH. THE UNFAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT SHOULD CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO WEAKEN BELOW WARNING THRESHOLD
IN THE NEXT 12 HOURS, HOWEVER, A REMNANT CIRCULATION SHOULD TRACK
WESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR BEYOND TAU 12.
DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT, LENDING FAIR CONFIDENCE
TO THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM
BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI. THE SYSTEM WILL BE
CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 060600Z IS 17 FEET. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (DAMIEN)
WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//
