REMARKS:
021500Z POSITION NEAR 20.1S 120.6E.
02MAR22. TROPICAL CYCLONE 15S (ANIKA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 110
NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED RADAR
DATA FROM THE PT. HEDLAND RADAR INDICATED A WELL-DEFINED RADAR EYE,
MAKING LANDFALL AT THE 021200Z HOUR, IN THE VICINITY OF WALLAL
DOWNS, AUSTRALIA. THE EYE WAS STRADDLING THE COAST AT 1200Z, MARKING
LANDFALL. THE INITIAL POSITION WAS ASSESSED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE
BASED ON THE RADAR EYE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS INCREASED TO 45
KNOTS BASED ON A SUBJECTIVE FORECASTER ASSESSMENT OF THE STRUCTURE
IN THE RADAR AND ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY, AS THERE ARE NO DVORAK
OR OTHER INTENSITY ESTIMATES AVAILABLE NOW THAT THE SYSTEM IS OVER
LAND. TC ANIKA SLOWED SIGNIFICANTLY AS IT APPROACHED THE COAST AND
IS NOW DRIFTING SLOWLY INLAND. IT IS FORECAST TO ACCELERATE
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS IT
FEELS THE EFFECTS OF A STRONGER GRADIENT BETWEEN A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
(STR) OVER CENTRAL AUSTRALIA AND A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH APPROACHING
FROM THE WEST. AS THE SYSTEM MOVES INLAND OVER THE GREAT SANDY
DESERT, IT IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN VERY SLOWLY AS ALONG-TRACK RAINFALL
HAS SATURATED THE GROUND AND WILL SUPPORT SUSTAINMENT OF TROPICAL
CYCLONE CHARACTERISTICS FOR SOME TIME. THE FORECAST CALLS FOR
DISSIPATION BELOW WARNING CRITERIA WITHIN 36 HOURS. OBJECTIVE AIDS
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC TRACK.
INTENSITY GUIDANCE IS ALSO IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE SLOW WEAKENING
TREND THROUGH DISSAPATION. 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 021200Z IS 15 FEET. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S
(VERNON) WARNINGS (WTXS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 17S (SEVENTEEN) WARNINGS (WTXS33 PGTW) FOR SIX-
HOURLY UPDATES.//
