** WTPS11 NFFN 100900 *** Tropical Disturbance Advisory Number A1 issued from RSMC NADI Feb 10/0959 UTC 2006 UTC. Tropical depression 12F [999 HPa] centre was located near 14.0S 176.0W at 100900 UTC moving east 05 knots but expected to curve southeast later. Position fair and based on latest SSMI, MTSTAT/EIR with animation and peripheral surface reports. SST in the area is about 29-30C. Overall organisation has improved significantly with deep convention erupting near the centre since the past 3 hours. Convective tops also cooling but major band still remains to the east and northeast of LLCC. 12F lies just south of upper [250 HPa] outflow, in a good diffluent region. Dvorak analysis based on .3 wrap thus 2.0/2.0/D1.0/24hrs. PAT=MET=2.0. CIMMS indicates that the environmental shear is about 20 knots over the system at this stage but decreasing tendency in the path of 12F. 12F is expected to be steered by the deep northwest wind flow. Most global models are developing the system near 20 South but seems to be confused with another depression [11F] further south of 12F. Potential for 12F to develop into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours is moderate to high. ** WTPS11 NFFN 100900 *** Tropical Disturbance Advisory Number A1 issued from RSMC NADI Feb 10/0959 UTC 2006 UTC.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION 12F [999 HPA] CENTRE WAS LOCATED NEAR 14.0S 176.0W AT 100900 UTC MOVING EAST 05 KNOTS BUT EXPECTED TO CURVE SOUTHEAST LATER. POSITION FAIR AND BASED ON LATEST SSMI, MTSTAT/EIR WITH ANIMATION AND PERIPHERAL SURFACE REPORTS. SST IN THE AREA IS ABOUT 29-30C. OVERALL ORGANISATION HAS IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH DEEP CONVENTION ERUPTING NEAR THE CENTRE SINCE THE PAST 3 HOURS. CONVECTIVE TOPS ALSO COOLING BUT MAJOR BAND STILL REMAINS TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST OF LLCC. 12F LIES JUST SOUTH OF UPPER [250 HPA] OUTFLOW, IN A GOOD DIFFLUENT REGION. DVORAK ANALYSIS BASED ON .3 WRAP THUS 2.0/2.0/D1.0/24HRS. PAT=MET=2.0. CIMMS INDICATES THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL SHEAR IS ABOUT 20 KNOTS OVER THE SYSTEM AT THIS STAGE BUT DECREASING TENDENCY IN THE PATH OF 12F. 12F IS EXPECTED TO BE STEERED BY THE DEEP NORTHWEST WIND FLOW. MOST GLOBAL MODELS ARE DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM NEAR 20 SOUTH BUT SEEMS TO BE CONFUSED WITH ANOTHER DEPRESSION [11F] FURTHER SOUTH OF 12F. POTENTIAL FOR 12F TO DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS MODERATE TO HIGH. ** WTPS11 NFFN 100900 CCA *** Tropical Disturbance Advisory Number A1 issued from RSMC NADI Feb 10/1001 UTC 2006 UTC.
