REMARKS:
Tropical Cyclone Billy has been named but it's time at TC strength is likely to
be short lived.
The centre has been located using recent MW and animated IR imagery.
Dvorak analysis has a DT 2.5 with a wrap of 0.4, though doesn't have classic
curvature. MET is 2.0 and PAT 2.5. FT/CI 2.5 based on PAT. SATCON has 60 knots.
NOAA and CIMSS ADT both have CI 3.5 and Vmax 55 knots. AiDT is 48 knots. An
AMSR pass at 1814Z suggested winds in the southern quadrants in excess of 50
knots but confined to southern quadrants. Final intensity is set to 45 knots
(10-min mean). With deep convection becoming more prominent in the NW quadrant,
the system has been analysed to now have gales extending into that area and
hence has been named.
Warm SST above 28C. Shear is low with an upper level anticyclone over the top.
Poleward outflow channel continues and the equatorward outflow maintaining
itself over the last six hours. In the mid levels, winds are NE'ly (resulting
in the W-SW forecast motion). The environment is moderately favourable but
begins to deteriorate later on Tuesday when the shear increases and the dry air
(to the west) starts impacting the system.

Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre
at 0637 UTC 13 MARCH 2022
GALE WARNING
Please be aware, wind gusts can be a further 40 percent stronger than the
averages given here, and maximum waves may be up to twice the height.
SITUATION
At 0600 UTC a Tropical Low was centred within 45 nautical miles of
latitude twelve decimal five south (12.5S)
longitude one hundred and five decimal zero east (105.0E)
Recent movement : southwest at 11 knots
Maximum winds : 25 knots

The low is not expected to develop into a tropical cyclone in the next 24
hours, however gales may develop in the southern semicircle after 0000 UTC 14
March.
AREA AFFECTED
Within 90 nautical miles of the centre in the southern semicircle after 0000
UTC 14 March.
FORECAST
Maximum winds to 25 knots near the centre increasing to 35 knots after 0000 UTC
14 March.
After 0000 UTC 14 March winds above 34 knots within 90 nautical miles of centre
in the southern semicircle, with rough seas and moderate swell.
Forecast positions
At 1800 UTC 13 March: Within 65 nautical miles of 13.5 south 103.2 east
Central pressure 1002 hPa.
Winds to 30 knots near centre.
At 0600 UTC 14 March: Within 70 nautical miles of 14.6 south 101.1 east
Central pressure 999 hPa.
Winds to 35 knots near centre.
REMARKS
All ships in the area please send weather reports every three hours.
Regular weather observing ships use normal channels.
Other ships please use email to tcwc@bom.gov.au.
Next warning will be issued by 1300 UTC 13 March 2022.
