040300Z7 POSITION NEAR 15.5S1 61.1E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 28S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 360 NM NORTHEAST OF
MAURITIUS. TC 28S HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 15 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 032330Z1 ENHANCED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 45 AND 55 KNOTS. THE SYSTEM
HAS CONTINUED TO ORGANIZE OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER OVER
THE PAST 12 HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
REVEALS A SPIRAL BAND WRAPPING IN FROM THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM. A
SECOND CIRCULATION APPROXIMATELY 355 NM TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST OF TC
28S DOES NOT MEET WARNING CRITERIA AT THIS TIME. A LOW TO MID-LEVEL
RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST, A MID-LEVEL TROUGH TO THE SOUTH AND THE
INFLUENCE OF THE SECOND CIRCULATION ARE INDUCING A SOUTHWESTWARD
TRACK. AS A LOW TO MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM
AND THE TROUGH TO THE SOUTH TRANSLATE EASTWARD, TC 28S WILL ALTER
TO A MORE WESTWARD TRACK. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS CONSISTING OF
UKMET (EGRR), NCEP AVIATION (AVN), NOGAPS AND GFDN ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE FORECAST TRACK, HOWEVER THERE IS AN EQUATORWARD
BIAS DUE TO DIFFICULTIES RESOLVING THE TWO CIRCULATIONS. OUR
FORECAST TRACK IS A BLEND OF ALL THE AVAILABLE AIDS WITH A POLEWARD
BIAS TO ACCOUNT FOR INTERACTION WITH THE SECOND CIRCULATION. TC 28S
IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE IN A FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 040000Z4 IS 18 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 041500Z0 AND 050300Z8.

APPEARS TO BE THE DOMINANT STEERING INFLUENCE. TC 28S IS FORECAST TO
TRACK GENERALLY WESTWARD AS THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST
BUILDS WESTWARD. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT
BUT MAY STILL HOLD A SLIGHT EQUATORWARD BIAS. OUR FORECAST TRACK IS
A BLEND OF AVAILABLE AIDS WHICH FAVORS THE MOST POLEWARD SOLUTION OF

WEAK TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS
CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, NCEP AVIATION, GFDN, AND UKMET EGRR ARE IN
FAIR AGREEMENT. THE AVIATION MODEL HAS MORE INTERACTION WITH THE
PASSING TROUGH AND DISSIPATES THE SYSTEM OFF THE COAST OF
MADAGASCAR WHILE THE OTHER AIDS TRACK THE SYSTEM ONTO MADAGASCAR.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 28S (MANOU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 215 NM
NORTHWEST OF MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS
IN THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 061730Z7
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND AVAILABLE SYNOPTIC DATA. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35
KNOTS AND 40 KNOT SYNOPTIC REPORTS. JUSTIFCAITON FOR AMENDMENT: TC
28S HAS REINTENSIFIED TO WARNING CRITERIA AND IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
AT WARNING CRITERIA UNTIL IT TRACKS ON TO LAND ON MADAGASCAR'S
EASTERN COAST. TC 28S HAD PREVIOUSLY WEAKENED WITH ITS CONVECTION
DECOUPLING FROM THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). HOWEVER,
RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE SYSTEM HAS
REINTENSIFIED WITH DEEP CONVECTION REORGANIZING OVER THE LLCC.
ANALYSIS OF 200 MB SHOWS THAT 28S EXISTS IN A MARGINALLY FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT UNDER AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WITH WEAK TO MODERATE
VERTICAL SHEAR. TC 28S IS NOT EXPECTED TO SIGNIFICANTLY INTENSIFY
BUT TO REMAIN AT WARNING CRITERIA AND TRACK WESTWARD TO MADAGASCAR

REMARKS:
092100Z2 POSITION NEAR 20.1S3 49.0E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 28S (MANOU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 10 NM
FROM THE EAST COAST OF MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT
02 KNOT OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
091730Z0 INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS AND 65 KNOTS.
TC 28S HAS BEGUN TO TRACK SLOWLY POLEWARD ALONG THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE LOCATED EAST OF THE SYSTEM. TC 28S
WILL BEGIN TO SPEED UP AND THEN RECURVE EASTWARD TOWARDS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE MID-LEVEL WESTERLIES. TC 28S WILL
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN EARLY IN THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO DRY AIR
ENTRAINMENT AS IT SKIRTS THE COAST OF MADAGASCAR. TC 28S WILL
REINTENSIFY SLIGHTLY AS IT EXITS THE COASTLINE AND MOVES BACK OVER
THE OPEN SEA. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WEAK FOR THE
ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD SO INTENSITY SHOULD GRADUALLY INCREASE. THE
AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, GFDN, AFWA MM5, NCEP
AVIATION, AND UKMET EGRR ARE IN POOR AGREEMENT. NOGAPS CONTINUES TO
FORECAST THE SYSTEM OVER LAND. GFDN AND EGGR KEEP THE SYSTEM
QUASISTATIONARY WHILE NCEP FORECASTS RECURVES THE SYSTEM TO THE
EAST. OUR FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE AND CONTINUITY
EARLY IN THE FORECAST PERIOD AND WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE NCEP
AVIATION SOLUTION AT THE MID TO LATE FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 091800Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
100900Z0 AND 102100Z4. RELEASED BY LT INGRAM, USN.//

REMARKS:
100900Z0 POSITION NEAR 21.4S7 49.0E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 28S (MANOU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 25 NM FROM
THE EAST COAST OF MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 100530Z9 MULTI-
SPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 AND 55 KNOTS. TC 28S
CONTINUES TO TRACK SLOWLY POLEWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF
THE MID TO LOW LEVEL RIDGE EAST OF THE SYSTEM. TC 28S IS FORECAST TO
MAINTAIN INTENSITY EARLY IN THE PERIOD, BUT DUE TO DRY AIR
ENTRAINMENT AND AN EQUATORWARD SHIFT OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS,
THE SYSTEM SHOULD DISSIPATE BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. ALL MODELS
HAVE TROUBLE INITIALIZING ON THE SYSTEM, BUT THEY ALL SHOW A GENERAL
SOUTH THEN SOUTHEASTWARD MOTION THROUGH 48 HOURS. THE FORECAST TRACK
IS BASED ON A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE AND FIELD ANALYSIS OF NOGAPS,
GFS, AND GFDN. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 100600Z7 IS 15
FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 102100Z4 AND 110900Z1. RELEASED BY CAPT

REMARKS:
102100Z4 POSITION NEAR 22.7S1 48.8E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 28S (MANOU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 40 NM FROM
THE EAST COAST OF MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 101730Z2
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED
ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 AND 35 KNOTS. TC 28S
CONTINUES TO ENTRAIN DRY AIR WHILE TRACKING SOUTHWARD VERY CLOSE TO
THE MADAGASCAR EAST COAST. THE SYSTEM HAS LOST ALMOST ALL DEEP
CONVECTION, AND A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) IS NOW
DIFFICULT TO LOCATE. MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE TROUBLE INITIALIZING
THE SYSTEM. THE FORECAST TRACK TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST IS BASED ON
PERSISTENCE AND ANALYSIS OF NOGAPS, GFDN, NCEP GFS, AND UKMET EGRR
FIELDS SHOWING A WEAKNESS IN THE PERIPHERAL RIDGE BEHIND A PASSING
SHORTWAVE TROUGH. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 101800Z0 IS 10
FEET. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON
WARNING CENTER (NAVPACMETOCCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY
MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. RELEASED BY LT INGRAM, USN.//
