TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC)10S (BLANCHE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 309 NM

EAST-NORTHEAST OF BROOME, AUSTRALIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD

AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED

SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS SIGNIFICANTLY COLLAPSED AND

DECAYED AFTER IT MADE LANDFALL OVER NORTHWEST AUSTRALIA NEAR

WYNDHAM. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE ON A

COMPOSITE RADAR LOOP FROM WYNDHAM. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON

NEARBY SURFACE OBSERVATIONS. ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE CYCLONE HAS

WEAKENED TO BELOW JTWC WARNING CRITERIA AND IS NOT EXPECTED TO RE-

INTENSIFY. 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. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 09S (ENAWO)
