REMARKS:
131500Z POSITION NEAR 21.6S 39.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (DINEO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 48 NM NORTH-
NORTHWEST OF EUROPA ISLAND, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 02
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS A CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
WITH DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE PARTIALLY-EXPOSED
LLCC. A 131012Z GCOM-W1 COMPOSITE IMAGE SHOWS THE BULK OF DEEP
CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE EASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE WITH A DEFINED
CENTER ON THE SOUTHWEST EDGE OF THE PRIMARY BAND, WHICH SUPPORTS THE
CURRENT POSITION WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS
ASSESSED AT 40 KNOTS BASED ON SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM EUROPA
ISLAND (61972) SHOWING NORTHEAST WINDS AT 46 KNOTS, AND A 130622Z
ASCAT IMAGE SHOWING A DEFINED CIRCULATION WITH 35 TO 40 KNOT WINDS.
OVERALL, THE ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE WITH NEAR-RADIAL OUTFLOW, LOW
TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND WARM SST NEAR 30C. TC 05S IS
FORECAST TO TRACK SLOWLY SOUTHWARD TO SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE
NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A WEAK LOW-TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
(STR). THE STR IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WEAK AS A BROAD SHORTWAVE
TROUGH DEEPENS TO THE SOUTH NEAR TAU 36. AFTER TAU 36, AN EAST-WEST
ORIENTED STR IS FORECAST TO BUILD TO THE SOUTH, WHICH SHOULD ALLOW
THE SYSTEM TO TURN WESTWARD TO WEST-NORTHWESTWARD. TC DINEO WILL
MAKE LANDFALL ALONG THE EAST COAST OF MOZAMBIQUE NEAR TAU 60 AND
WILL DISSIPATE OVER LAND BY TAU 96. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT, THEREFORE, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC
FORECAST TRACK. TC 05S IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY STEADILY TO A PEAK
INTENSITY OF 65 KNOTS BY TAU 36 THEN WEAKEN SIGNIFICANTLY AS IT
APPROACHES LAND AND TRACKS INLAND. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 131200Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 140300Z AND 141500Z. THIS
CANCELS AND SUPERSEDES REF A (WTXS21 PGTW 121300).//

140300Z POSITION NEAR 22.0S 38.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (DINEO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 69 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF EUROPA ISLAND, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS A COMPACT CONSOLIDATING SYSTEM WITH DEEP CONVECTIVE
BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE OBSCURED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION FROM THE

REMARKS:
141500Z POSITION NEAR 22.5S 38.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 05S (DINEO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 78 NM WEST OF
EUROPA ISLAND, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A
CONSOLIDATING TIGHTLY WOUND SPIRAL SYSTEM WITH RELATIVELY SHALLOW
BANDING ON THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN PERIPHERIES. A 141159Z 85 GHZ
SSMI IMAGE SHOWS AN EYE FEATURE STRUGGLING TO FORM LENDING HIGH
CONFIDENCE TO THE INITIAL POSITION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 55
KNOTS IS BASED ON SUBJECTIVE DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM ALL AGENCIES
REPORTING T3.5 (55 KNOTS). ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY
VERY FAVORABLE WITH THE UPPER LEVELS SUPPORTING DUAL CHANNEL OUTFLOW
AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. SSTS ARE ALSO EXTREMELY WARM IN EXCESS
OF 30 CELSIUS. TC DINEO WILL HAVE A SHORT WINDOW TO INTENSIFY OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS BEFORE IT MAKES LANDFALL REACHING A PEAK INTENSITY
OF 75 KNOTS. CURRENTLY A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
SOUTHEAST IS STEERING TC DINEO ON A SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK. LANDFALL
OVER SOUTHERN MOZAMBIQUE IS ANTICIPATED NEAR TAU 30. AS THE SYSTEM
MAKES LANDFALL ANOTHER RIDGE TO THE SOUTHWEST WILL DRIVE THE SYSTEM
FURTHER INLAND. THE SYSTEM WILL FULLY DISSIPATE OVERLAND BY TAU 72.
DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS SHOWING GOOD AGREEMENT, WITH THE FORECAST
TRACK PLACED NEAR THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS. OVERALL THERE IS HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
141200Z IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 150300Z AND 151500Z.//

REMARKS:
150300Z POSITION NEAR 22.8S 37.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (DINEO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 136 NM WEST-
SOUTHWEST OF EUROPA ISLAND, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS A COMPACT SYSTEM WITH DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING
TIGHTER INTO AND OBSCURING THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION. THE INITIAL
POSITION IS BASED ON A LOW REFLECTIVITY MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE IN THE
142246Z SSMIS PASS WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS
BASED ON AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE DVORAK
ESTIMATES. OVERALL, THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINS FAVORABLE WITH NEAR-
RADIAL OUTFLOW, LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND WARM SST NEAR 30C. TC
05S IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN
PERIPHERY OF A MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR). THE STR IS
EXPECTED TO BUILD SLIGHTLY WHICH SHOULD ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO TRACK ON
A MORE WESTWARD TRAJECTORY AFTER TAU 12 BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL INTO
SOUTHERN MOZAMBIQUE. TC DINEO IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY STEADILY TO A
PEAK OF 70 KNOTS BY TAU 12 THEN WEAKEN RAPIDLY AS IT TRACKS INLAND.
DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE
IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
150000Z IS 20 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 151500Z AND 160300Z.//

151500Z POSITION NEAR 23.5S 35.8E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 05S (DINEO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 235 NM WEST-
SOUTHWEST OF EUROPA ISLAND, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 12
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND A 151000Z 89 GHZ AMSR2 IMAGE DEPICTS A WELL DEFINED
SPIRAL SYSTEM WITH DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING AND A NEWLY FORMED EYE
FEATURE PLACING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY ASSESSMENT OF 70 KNOTS IS BASED ON BOTH SUBJECTIVE AND
OBJECTIVE DVORAK ESTIMATES. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY
FAVORABLE SUPPORTING NEAR-RADIAL OUTFLOW WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AND SSTS IN EXCESS OF 30 CELSIUS. HOWEVER FURTHER
INTENSIFICATION IS UNLIKELY AS TC DINEO IS ACCELERATING TOWARD THE
COAST OF MOZAMBIQUE AND LAND INTERACTION WILL SOON DISRUPT THE LOW
LEVEL WIND FIELD. A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST IS
STEERING THE SYSTEM ON A WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK AND LANDFALL OVER
SOUTHERN MOZAMBIQUE IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT SIX HOURS. A BUILDING
RIDGE TO THE SOUTHWEST WILL ASSUME STEERING OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS
DRIVING THE SYSTEM FURTHER INLAND. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE FORECAST TRACK PLACED NEAR THE MULTI-MODEL
CONSENSUS. OVERALL THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST TRACK.
