08S(DANILO) CONTINUES TO SLOWLY CONSOLIDATE WITH FRAGMENTED BANDING AND CYCLING DEEP CONVECTION.08S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP- LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE POSITIONED TO THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH.

WARNING 18
As of 00:00 UTC Jan 08, 2021:
Location: 17.1°S 67.9°E
Maximum Winds: 40 kt ( 75km/h)
Gusts: 50 kt ( 95km/h)
Minimum Central Pressure: 995 mb
Satellite bulletins are to be found in the comments of this post on JTWC BIS .
REMARKS:
080300Z POSITION NEAR 17.1S 67.3E.
08JAN21. 08S (DANILO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
629 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS TWO LARGE CLUSTERS OF DEEP
CONVECTION FLARING AROUND A BROADLY-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION.
THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION FROM A 072035Z AMSR2
89GHZ COLOR COMPOSITE IMAGE, WHICH SHOWS SHALLOW BANDING WRAPPING
INTO A DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION. THE AMSR2 WINDSPEED IMAGE
REVEALS A DEFINED CENTER WITH 5-7 KNOTS AND MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 38 KNOTS OVER THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT (10-MINUTE AVERAGE). THIS,
ALONG WITH RECENT ASCAT DATA, SUPPORTS THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 40
KNOTS, WHICH IS HEDGED ABOVE PGTW/FMEE DVORAK ESTIMATES OF T2.5(35
KNOTS). UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A MARGINALLY-FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT WITH FAIR OUTFLOW, LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND WARM SST
VALUES (27-28C). ALTHOUGH POLEWARD OUTFLOW HAS IMPROVED WITH THE
APPROACH OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO THE SOUTH, TC 08S CONTINUES TO
SLOWLY CONSOLIDATE WITH FRAGMENTED BANDING AND CYCLING DEEP
CONVECTION. TC 08S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-
LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE POSITIONED TO THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH.
NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH A SPREAD OF
205NM AT TAU 72 INCREASING TO 405NM BY TAU 120. THE JTWC FORECAST IS
HIGHLY CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND IS POSITIONED CLOSE
TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS, WHICH HAS OUTPERFORMED THE INDIVIDUAL
MODEL TRACKERS THUS FAR. THE INTENSITY FORECAST HAS REMAINED
CHALLENGING AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH A PEAK
INTENSITY OF 45 KNOTS WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS THEN GRADUAL
WEAKENING THROUGH THE REMAINING FORECAST PERIOD. THE SYSTEM SHOULD
DISSIPATE NEAR MADAGASCAR BY TAU 120 AS SST COOLS TO 26C. HOWEVER,
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THE SYSTEM MAY DEVELOP INTO A GALE-FORCE
SUBTROPICAL LOW SOUTHEAST OF MADAGASCAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 080000Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 081500Z AND 090300Z.//
