SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE/SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN: TC 08S(BATSIRAI). WARNING 15 ISSUED AT 03/03UTC.

FORECAST REASONING.  SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING.  FORECAST DISCUSSION: TC 08S WILL TRACK GENERALLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE FORECAST. TC 08S IS FORECAST WEAKEN SLIGHTLY TO AROUND 105 KNOTS/CAT 3 US DUE TO THE EYE WALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE (ERC). AFTER THE COMPLETION OF ERC AROUND 24H, THE SYSTEM SHOULD REINTENSIFY TO ABOUT 115 KNOTS/CAT 4 US AT 36H. AFTER 48H, THE SYSTEM WILL RAPIDLY WEAKEN AS IT CROSSES OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OF MADAGASCAR. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REINTENSIFY OVER THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL AND REACH AN INTENSITY OF 65 KTS/CAT 1 US BY 120H.

TC 08S(BATSIRAI): CAT 4 US tracking apprx 200km North of Réunion island// TC 09P, Invest 90S updates, 03/03utc

CIMSS ANALYSIS: UNFAVOURABLE OVER 24HOURS.


CLICK ON THE IMAGERY BELOW TO ANIMATE AND ENLARGE IT.

SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A COMPACT SYSTEM WITH STRONG RADIAL OUTFLOW, WEAKENING SPIRAL BANDING, AND A 37 KM WIDE EYE. TC 08S IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING AN EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE AS EVIDENT BY THE CONSTRICTING OUTER EYEWALL IN A 030024Z SSMIS 91GHZ IMAGE. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE EYE FEATURE IN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SSMIS IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 115 KTS IS BASED ON AN AVERAGE OF THE AGENCY DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES, ADT, AND SATCON.

02/1420UTC. EARLIER SMAP OVER-PASS READ 10MINUTES WINDS OF 95KNOTS=108KNOTS/1MINUTE.


MODEL DISCUSSION: WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NAVGEM, NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD GIVING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE ENTIRE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. OVERALL, INTENSITY GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH ALL MODELS INDICATING SOME TYPE OF WEAKENING DUE TO ERC AND ALSO A INTENSIFICATION PERIOD IN THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL. OF NOTE, GFS DOES NOT REINTENSIFY AFTER ERC, INDICATING AN INTENSITY OF ABOUT 85 KTS/CAT 2 US AT LANDFALL OVER MADAGASCAR.

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE/CORAL SEA: TC 09P. WARNING 10 ISSUED AT 03/03UTC. VERY WEAK 15KT SYSTEM. WARNINGS ARE NOT DISCONTINUED SINCE THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO RE-INTENSIFY.

FORECAST REASONING.  SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING.  FORECAST DISCUSSION: TC 09P IS FORECAST TO TRACK EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE UNTIL 48H, AT WHICH POINT THE SYSTEM WILL TURN SOUTHEASTWARD AS THE RIDGE REORIENTS. A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT CONSISTING OF DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT, WEAK OUTFLOW ALOFT, AND MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL ALLOW FOR ONLY GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION IN THE EARLY PORTION OF THE FORECAST. SOMETIME AFTER 36H, THE ENVIRONMENT WIL BECOME MORE FAVORABLE AS POLEWARD OUTFLOW IMPROVES AND THE CORE ENVIRONMENT MOISTENS. THIS WILL ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO REACH AN INTENSITY OF 50 KTS BY 120H.

MODEL DISCUSSION: NUMERICAL MODELS ARE STILL CURRENTLY IN SPLIT AGREEMENT IN REGARDS TO FORECAST TRACK WITH NVGM, EGRR, AND UEMN PASSING SOUTH OF THE LOYALTY ISLANDS AND EC AND GFS PASSING TO THE NORTH WITH GFS JUST 110 KM SOUTH OF PORT VILA. THIS RESULTS IN A 410 KM CROSS-TRACK SPREAD AT 48H WHICH CONTINUES TO EXPAND AFTERWARDS. INTENSITY GUIDANCE IS IN AGREEMENT AS FAR AS INDICATING SOME TYPE OF INTENSIFICATION HAPPENING WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS, BUT THE RATE AND MAGNITUDE VARY. GFS STEADILY INTENSIFIES THE SYSTEM, HWRF JUMPS 25 KTS IN THE NEXT 12 HOURS, AND EC DOES NOT INTENSIFY AT ALL AND SIMPLY TRACKS A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. OVERALL, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST BEYOND 36H.

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE/SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN: INVEST 90S. ADVISORY(ABIO) ISSUED AT 02/18UTC.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED  NEAR 18.6S 80.4E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 18.0S 81.0E, APPROXIMATELY 1490  KM SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE  IMAGERY DEPICTS DEEP CONVECTION OBSCURING A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION.  ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS REVEALS GENERALLY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR  DEVELOPMENT DEFINED BY; FAIR OUTFLOW ALOFT, LOW TO MODERATE (15- 20KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND WARM (28-29C) SEA SURFACE  TEMPERATURES. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT INVEST 90S  WILL GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AS IT TRACKS EQUATORWARD OVER THE NEXT 24- 48 HOURS.  MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25  KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1001 MB.  THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE  WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS MEDIUM.
