REMARKS:
Convective banding improving near the tropical low system centre.

Tropical low 14U position was based on animated Himiwari-9 satellite IR
imagery. Dvorak analysis was based on a curved band pattern with a 0.4 to 0.5
wrap giving a DT=2.5. MET is 2.5 based on a 24 hour D trend with no PAT
adjustment. Intensity is analysed at 35 knots with gales in the eastern
semicircle. Earlier SMAP radiometer data at 1935 UTC showed gales near 14U,
particularly under the deep convection.

The forecast track is based on a weak mid-level ridge to the east of the system
and is forecast to steer the system to the south through Wednesday, before the
upper trough becomes the dominant steering influence and takes the system
southeast from Thursday. An ensemble of numerical weather prediction models
give good confidence in the forecast track, with the system expected to remain
well to the east of the Queensland coast. The long term track takes the system
close to Norfolk Island over the weekend. This track produces a dynamic fetch
of gale force northerly winds expected to produce large northerly swells for
southern Queensland.

The environment is favourable for further development today and Thursday. CIMSS
upper level winds currently analyse the system under 15 to 20 knots of deep
layer shear, however upper divergence over the system is high and it is
expected to track into an area of lower shear going forward.

In the medium term the moisture availability will remain high, as will along
track SSTs of 29 to 30 degrees Celsius. Upper outflow to the south will be
enhanced as the upper trough approaches to the south of 14U and low-level trade
flow improves. 14U is forecast to intensify to Category 1 later today, however
gale force winds are already occurring near the system. 14U is forecast to
continue to intensify into a severe tropical cyclone on Thursday, and may
undergo a period of rapid intensification in very favourable conditions. The
upper trough will provide increasing vertical wind shear from Friday, with 14U
expected to gradually transition into a vigorous sub-tropical cyclone over the
weekend as it moves near Norfolk Island. The system may weaken a little as this
occurs, but is likely to remain at category 2 intensity with storm force winds
and a very large area of gale force winds even as it loses its tropical
characteristics. 14U is likely to remain a strong low pressure system into next
week well outside of the Australian region.
