REMARKS:
030900Z2 POSITION NEAR 10.7S8 90.5E4. RELOCATED.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S HAS BEEN RELOCATED DUE TO THE AVAILABILITY OF
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE SOUTH AT 4
KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
030530Z1 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T3.0 (45 KNOTS) AND
T2.0 (30 KNOTS). THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH TC 25S
REMAINS EXPOSED TO THE EAST OF THE PRIMARY CONVECTION. THE SYSTEM
REMAINS WITHIN WEAK STEERING FLOW BETWEEN MODERATE EQUATORIAL
WESTERLIES AND A LARGE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. OVER THE
PAST 24 HOURS, TC 25S HAS REMAINED BETWEEN THESE TWO STEERING
INFLUENCES, CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY WITH AN
ERRATIC TRACK. TC 25S IS FORECAST TO BE PRIMARILY STEERED BE THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. TC 25S IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY MOVE
SOUTH THEN SOUTHWEST DURING THE NEXT 12 HOURS. AFTERWARDS, TC 25S
IS FORECAST TO ACCELERATE AND TRACK TOWARDS THE WEST-SOUTHWEST
DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE 48 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD. THE SYSTEM
REMAINS UNDER MODERATE WESTWARD VERTICAL SHEAR. THE SHEAR WEAKENS,
HOWEVER, WEST OF THE SYSTEM. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ABOVE TC 25S HAS
ALLOWED OUTFLOW TO REMAIN FAIR, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE WEST. TC 25S
IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY INTENSIFY DURING THE NEXT 36 HOUR. THE SYSTEM
IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY QUICKER AFTER THAT PERIOD. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 030600Z IS 13 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
032100Z6 (DTG 031953Z1) AND 040900Z3 (DTG 040753Z9).

TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS. THE
ENVIRONMENTAL STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
SOUTHEAST IS BEGINNING TO DOMINATE THAT OF THE EQUATORIAL
WESTERLIES TO THE NORTH. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES THIS SYSTEM IS EXPERIENCING MODERATE EASTERLY VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR, HOWEVER CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED
SUBSTANTIALLY DURING THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER IS BELIEVED TO STILL BE PARTIALLY EXPOSED UNDER THE EASTERN
EDGE OF THE DEEP CONVECTION. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
031730Z4 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, CONFIDENCE IN THIS POSITION IS
POOR. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON AN INFRARED SATELLITE
INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T2.5 (35 KNOTS) AND EXTRAPOLATION FROM THE
PREVIOUS WARNING INTENSITY. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO
FORECAST REASONING. TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S IS EXPECTED TO TRACK
GENERALLY SOUTHWESTWARD. THE MAJORITY OF DYNAMIC AND STATISTICAL
OBJECTIVE AIDS SUPPORT THIS TRACK FORECAST. TC 25S IS ANTICIPATED
TO CONTINUE SLOWLY INTENSIFYING AS IT TRACKS SOUTHWESTWARD AND
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE SYSTEM DECREASES. WIND RADII ARE
BASED ON CLIMATOLOGY FOR AN AVERAGE SIZE TROPICAL CYCLONE. MAXIMUM

(DAVINA) IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS. THE SYSTEM HAS
INTENSIFIED OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. INTENSIFICATION SHOULD
CONTINUE BECAUSE THE UPPER LEVEL SHEAR HAS LESSENED AND 25S IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT UNDERNEATH THE
200MB RIDGE. THE STRONG, MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
SOUTH CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE STEERING, BUT WE HAVE MOVED THE
TRACK NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND SPED IT UP BECAUSE
DYNAMIC MODELS SHOWS THIS RIDGE BECOMING EVEN STRONGER. THIS
TRACK IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH AVAILABLE DYNAMIC TRACK GUIDENCE.

VERTICAL WIND SHEAR PREVIOUSLY INHIBITING DEVELOPMENT HAS WEAKENED.
DESPITE RECENT WARMING OF CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURES, TC 25S HAS
INCREASED IN ORGANIZATION AND IS AT TYPHOON INTENSITY. THE WARNING
POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON 050530Z3 VISIBLE AND INFRARED
SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T3.5 (55 KNOTS) AND T4.0 (65 KNOTS).
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST REASONING. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING WESTWARD TO
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AND DECREASE ITS TRANSLATIONAL SPEED THROUGHOUT
THE FORECAST PERIOD UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL STEERING INFLUENCE OF
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. ALL DYNAMIC AND THE MAJORITY OF
STATISTICAL OBJECTIVE GUIDANCE SUPPORTS THIS TRACK FORECAST SCENARIO.
TC 25S (DAVINA) IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
PERIOD AS ITS UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW INCREASES IN ORGANIZATION AND
EASTERLY VERTICAL SHEAR CEASES. WIND RADII ARE SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED
OUTWARD DUE TO VISIBLE SATELLITE ANALYSIS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 050600Z1 IS 19 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 052100Z8
(DTG 051953Z3) AND 060900Z5 (DTG 060753Z1).//

TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 18
KNOTS IN THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN. THE SYSTEM HAS CONTINUED TO
DEVELOP AND HAS A SMALL (20 NM) CLOUD FILLED EYE. TC 25S IS BEING
STEERED BY THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH, AND SHOULD CONTINUE
TO MOVE SOUTH OF WEST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. WE
ARE FORECASTING CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT WITH A PEAK INTENSITY OF 130
KNOTS WITHIN 24 HOURS, AS THERE IS CURRENTLY NOTHING IN THE UPPER
LEVELS TO STOP INTENSIFICATION. A WEAKENING TO 100 KNOTS IS
FORECAST AFTER 24 HOURS, BECAUSE SUCH EXTREME INTENSITIES ARE NOT
TYPICALLY SUSTAINABLE FOR A LONG TIME. HOWEVER, 25S SHOULD REMAIN
A POWERFULL SYSTEM FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 061800Z5 IS 20 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 060300Z9 (DTG

TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 16
KNOTS. THE PAST TRACK HAS BEEN MOVED SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST TO
REFLECT A 051738Z4 SCATTEROMETER PASS WHICH WAS RECIEVED AFTER THE
LAST WARNING WAS ISSUED. THIS INFORMATION WAS ALSO USED TO ADJUST
THE 50 AND 35 KNOT WIND RADII ON THE CURRENT WARNING. FORECAST
PHILOSOPHY REMAINS THE SAME: 25S WILL CONTINUE TRACKING TO THE
WEST-SOUTHWEST IN REPSONSE TO STEERING FROM THE SUB-TROPICAL
RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH. THE WARNING INTENSITY OF 100 KNOTS IS SLIGHTLY
AHEAD OF THE SATELLITE SIGNATURE (DVORAK) ANALYSIS INTENSITY OF 90
KNOTS. THIS IS TO REFLECT CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT SEEN ON SATELLITE
IMAGERY SINCE THE DVORAK ANALYSIS WAS CONDUCTED AT 052330Z3. THE
SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO REACH A 130 KNOT INTENSITY WITHIN A DAY DUE
TO A FAVORABLE, LOW SHEAR ENVIRONMENT, THEN BEGIN WEAKENING CHIEFLY
BECAUSE OF THE HISTORICALLY DEMONSTRATED INABILITY OF A CYCLONE TO
SUSTAIN SUCH INTENSITIES FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD. MAXIMUM

TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 15 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. WARNING POSITION BASED ON
ANIMATED VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATES INDICATE THE SYSTEM TO BE NEAR 102 TO 115 KTS.
ANIMATION ALSO INDICATES A SLIGHT INCREASE IN VERTICAL WINDSHEAR ON
THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE CYCLONE. TC 25S(DAVINA)IS FORECAST TO
CONTINUE MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD
IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO
THE SOUTH. TC 25S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT A SLOWER RATE DUE TO
THE INCREASE IN VERTICAL WINDSHEAR. WIND RADII ARE FORECAST TO
REMAIN NEARLY CONSTANT THROUGH OUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 070600Z IS 26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT

TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE WEST-
SOUTHWEST AT 17 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION
IS BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION FROM A 090433Z9 MICROWAVE IMAGER PASS.
THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON A SATELLITE CURRENT INTENISTY
ESTIMATE OF T5.5 (102 KNOTS). TC 25S (DAVINA) HAS CONTINUED TO
TRACK UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST. THE SYSTEM IS ENTERING INTO A WEAKNESS BETWEEN THE
CURRENT STEERING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND A EASTWARD BUILDING RIDGE
WELL TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM. THIS ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED
TO SLOW THE FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM WHILE CONTINUING ON
A WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK. TC 25S (DAVINA) IS EXPECTED TO
EVENTUALLY MOVE INTO THE STEERING FLOW OF THE EASTWARD BUILDING
SUBTROPICAL. TC 25S (DAVINA) IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE ON A WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK DURING THE INITIAL 24 TO 36 HOUR PERIOD.
AFTERWARDS, THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BEGIN TRACKING MORE WESTWARD
IN RESPONSE TO THE NEW STEERING FLOW FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. INCREASING VERTICAL SHEAR AND INTERACTION WITH
NEARBY ISLANDS IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY BEGIN WEAKENING TC 25S (DAVINA)
DURING THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. AN ALTERNATE SCENARIO WOULD TAKE
TC 25S (DAVINA) THROUGH THE WEAKNESS BETWEEN THE RIDGES AND ON MORE
OF A SOUTHWARD TRACK AS IT ROUNDS THE WESTERN AXIS OF THE CURRENT

100900Z0 POSITION NEAR 21.9S2 55.3E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE WEST-
SOUTHWEST AT 8 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION
IS BASED ON 100530Z9 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF T5.0 (90 KNOTS) AND MAXIMUM SURFACE WIND REPORTS OF
NEAR 80 KNOTS. TC 25S (DAVINA) HAS CONTINUED TO TRACK UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST. TC
25S (DAVINA) HAS SLOWED AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MOVE INTO A
WEAKNESS BETWEEN THE CURRENT STEERING RIDGE AND ANOTHER EASTWARD
BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHWEST. THIS EASTWARD BUILDING
RIDGE IS FORECAST TO BECOME THE DOMINANT STEERING INFLUENCE ON THE
SYSTEM DURING THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. TC 25S (DAVINA) IS FORECAST
TO CONTINUE TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD DURING THE INITIAL 24 TO 36
HOURS. AFTERWARDS, THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO TRACK MORE WESTWARD
THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THERE IS A POOR
PROBABILITY THAT THE SYSTEM COULD TRACK FURTHER SOUTHWARD IF THE
EASTWARD BUILDING RIDGE FAILS TO DEVELOP AS CURRENTLY FORECASTED.
INCREASING SHEAR IS FORECAST TO BEGIN WEAKENING TC 25S (DAVINA)
DURING THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 100600Z7 IS 25 FEET. REFER TO WWIO30 PGFW FOR ADDITIONAL SEA

102100Z4 POSITION NEAR 22.9S3 53.4E2. TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA)
HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS.
THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 101700Z9 INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND AN EARLIER (101330Z8) TROPICAL RAINFALL MEASUREMENT
MISSION MICROWAVE IMAGER PASS. THE WARNING INTENSITY (80 KTS) IS
BASED ON A COMBINATION OF SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF
T4.0 (65 KTS) AND T5.0 (90 KTS). TC 25S (DAVINA) HAS CONTINUED TO
TRACK UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
SOUTHEAST. TC 25S (DAVINA) HAS SLOWED SLIGHTLY OVER THE PAST 24
HOURS AS IT MOVES INTO A WEAKNESS BETWEEN THE CURRENT STEERING
RIDGE AND ANOTHER EASTWARD BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE WEST.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES AN AREA OF UPPER-
LEVEL WESTERLY WINDS JUST SOUTH OF MADAGASCAR. ANIMATION ALSO SHOWS
HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS OVER TC25S BEGINNING TO MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST IN
THIS UPPER-LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW. TC 25S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE ON A
SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD UNDER THE PRIMARY
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST. AFTER
36HRS, TC 25S IS FORECAST TO BEGIN SHEARING AS IT MOVES FURTHER
SOUTH AND BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES. AS
THE SHEARING SEPARATES THE CONVECTION FROM THE LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC), THE LLCC SHOULD REMAIN JUST SOUTH OF
MADAGASCAR AS AN EXPOSED LLCC. THERE IS A POOR PROBABILITY TC25S
COULD TRACK FURTHER SOUTHWARD AND RAPIDLY MOVE OUT WITH THE
CONVECTION TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST AS IT BEGINS INTERACTING WITH THE
MID-LATITUDE WESTERLY FLOW. INCREASING VERTICAL WINDSHEAR COMBINED
WITH LAND INTERACTION FROM MADAGASCAR IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
WEAKENING TC 25S (DAVINA) THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM

REMARKS:
132100Z7 POSITION NEAR 22.1S5 53.4E2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 2 KNOTS OFF
THE EAST COAST OF MADAGASCAR OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED UPON 131730Z5 ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY.
THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED UPON SHIP OBSERVATIONS AND IS
CONSISTENT WITH 131438Z0 MICROWAVE IMAGERY ANALYSIS. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW TC 25S IS A TOTALLY
EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH THE DEEP CONVECTION
SHEARED WELL TO THE SOUTHEAST. TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S IS EMBEDDED IN
WEAK STEERING FLOW DUE TO A COMBINATION OF A LOW LEVEL RIDGE TO THE
NORTHEAST AND A MID-LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTH OF THE
SYSTEM. TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S IS FORECAST TO TRACK IN A SLOW CYCLONIC
LOOP AS THE STEERING INFLUENCE FROM THE RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE
SOUTH BEGINS TO BECOME DOMINANT. ALTHOUGH TC 25S CONTINUES TO
EXPERIENCE HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION IS
SPINNING DOWN SLOWER THAN ANTICIPATED. HOWEVER, A 131553Z8 MICROWAVE
IMAGE INDICATES THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION IS WEAKENING, AND TC 25S
IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE OVER WATER BY THE 24 HOUR FORECAST POSITION.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 131800Z3 IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS
AT 140900Z4 (DTG 140753Z0) AND 142100Z8 (DTG 141953Z3). REFER TO
TROPICAL CYCLONE 27P (HALI) WARNINGS (WTPS31 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY
UPDATES.//

REMARKS:
140900Z4 POSITION NEAR 21.9S2 52.7E4.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) HAS MOVED WESTWARD AT 2 KTS OFF THE
EAST COAST OF MADAGASCAR OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. THE WARNING
POSITION IS BASED UPON 140530Z2 ANIMATED VISIBLE AND INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED UPON SATELLITE
CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 KTS AND THE TIGHT WRAPPING OF THE
LOW LEVEL CLOUDS AROUND THE CIRCULATION CENTER. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS TC 25S IS A TOTALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER WITH ALL OF THE DEEP CONVECTION SHEARED OFF TO
THE EAST. TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) HAS CEASED ITS CYCLONIC
MOVEMENT OF THE PAST 2 DAYS AND BEGUN TO MOVE TO THE WEST AS THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AT LOWER LEVELS HAS BUILT IN TO THE SOUTH, GIVING
IT A MORE DEFINED STEERING FLOW. THIS STEERING FLOW WILL KEEP THE
SYSTEM TRACKING WESTWARD FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. TC 25S CONTINUES TO
EXPERIENCE HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND IS DISSIPATING OVER WATER.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 140600Z1 IS 14 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 142100Z8 (DTG 141953Z3). REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 27P

REMARKS:
142100Z8 POSITION NEAR 20.9S1 51.6E2.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 25S (DAVINA) HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS
OFF THE EAST COAST OF MADAGASCAR OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING
OSITION IS BASED UPON 141730Z6 ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY.
THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED UPON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 25 AND 30 KNOTS. ANIMATED VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY CONTINUE TO SHOW TC 25S IS A TOTALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION (LLCC), BUT THE LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
THE LLCC IS BEGINNING TO ELONGATE AS IT CONTINUES WESTWARD. TROPICAL
CYCLONE 25S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTHWESTWARD UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH AS IT CONTINUES TO
DISSIPATE OVER WATER. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 141800Z4 IS
