SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
145 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 12.2S 56.2E TO 15.1S 52.5E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 28 TO 33 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 140000Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 12.5S 55.7E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09
KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 99S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 12.2S 
56.4E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 12.5S 55.7E, APPROXIMATELY 650 NM 
NORTHEAST OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED 
IMAGERY AND A 140024Z 91GHZ SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOW FLARING 
CONVECTION WRAPPING INTO A COHESIVE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER 
(LLCC) FROM ALL SIDES. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS LOW (10-15 KNOTS) OVER 
99S WITH STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES 
REMAIN WARM (27-29 CELSIUS) IN THE VICINITY OF MADAGASCAR. GLOBAL 
MODELS GENERALLY AGREE ON 99S REACHING TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH (34 
KTS) IN 12-24 HOURS, WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF JGSM AND ECMWF 
DEVELOPING IT MUCH LATER. MODELS ARE IN GOOD NEAR TERM AGREEMENT AS 
99S TRACKS SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARDS THE NORTHERN TIP OF MADAGASCAR. 
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 28 TO 33 KNOTS. 
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 998 MB. THE 
POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE 
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY 
150300Z.//

REMARKS:
150300Z POSITION NEAR 14.3S 54.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (FOURTEEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 383 NM
NORTH-NORTHWEST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED 
SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS DEEP CONVECTION WHICH HAS CONSOLIDATED 
OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) AND IS WRAPPING INTO 
THE CIRCULATION CENTER. INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON ANIMATED 
INFRARED IMAGERY AND IS SUPPORTED BY A 142303Z SSMI 37 GHZ MICROWAVE 
IMAGE SHOWING DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING FROM THE SOUTH AND 
INTO THE EQUATORWARD SIDE OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER. THE INITIAL 
INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS HEDGED ON THE UPPER END OF MULTI-AGENCY 
DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM T2.0 TO T2.5 (30 TO 
35 KNOTS). UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS THE SYSTEM HAS RADIAL 
OUTFLOW WITH A POINT SOURCE ALOFT TO THE EAST AND GOOD DIVERGENCE 
DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS SHOWS THE SYSTEM IS IN AN 
AREA OF MODERATE TO HIGH (20-25 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND 
IS TRACKING THROUGH AN AREA OF WARM (29-30 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE 
TEMPERATURES. TC 14S IS FORECAST TO STEADILY INTENSIFY AS IT TRACKS 
TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS. THE SYSTEM WILL PEAK AT 60 
KNOTS PRIOR TO MAKING LANDFALL OVER NORTHEASTERN MADAGASCAR. AFTER 
LANDFALL, THE SYSTEM WILL WEAKEN DUE TO THE FRICTIONAL EFFECTS OF 
LAND INTERACTION. ALSO AFTER LANDFALL, THE SYSTEM WILL ROUND THE 
AXIS OF THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE LOCATED TO THE EAST AND TURN 
TO THE SOUTHWEST, EXITING BACK INTO THE SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN 
SHORTLY AFTER TAU 72. ONCE OUT OVER WATER, TC 14S WILL GRADUALLY 
STRENGTHEN THROUGH TAU 120. AVAILABLE DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN 
GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TRACK DIRECTION WITH LARGE VARIATIONS IN THE 
TIMING AND SHARPNESS OF THE TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST. DUE TO THE LARGE 
VARIATIONS IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE THERE IS OVERALL LOW CONFIDENCE IN 
THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 150000Z 
IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 150900Z, 151500Z, 152100Z AND 160300Z.

REMARKS:
150900Z POSITION NEAR 15.1S 53.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 368 NM
NORTH-NORTHWEST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD 
AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED 
ON RECENT MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGES FROM A 150227Z CORIOLIS PASS 
AND A 150546Z METOP-A PASS. THE INTENSITY OF 45 KNOTS IS BASED ON 
THE IMPROVING LOW-LEVEL SIGNATURE, 35-40 KNOT WINDS EVIDENT ALONG 
THE PERIPHERY OF THE CIRCULATION IN 150546Z ASCAT DATA, AND MULTI-
AGENCY DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 2.0 (30 KNOTS) TO 3.0 
(45 KNOTS). TC 14S IS TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF 
A SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE SITUATED TO THE SOUTHEAST. 
SOUTHWESTWARD TO WESTWARD MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE 
NEXT 36 HOURS AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE REMAINS THE PRIMARY STEERING 
MECHANISM, TAKING THE SYSTEM TOWARD LANDFALL IN NORTHERN MADAGASCAR. 
STORM MOTION IS EXPECTED TO SLOW IN THE NEAR TO MEDIUM-TERM AS THE 
STEERING PATTERN REORIENTS. AN EXTENSION OF A BUILDING NEAR-
EQUATORIAL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO CARRY THE SYSTEM SOUTHEASTWARD, AND 
AWAY FROM MADAGASCAR, AFTER TAU 72. STEADY INTENSIFICATION IS 
ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS TC 14S MOVES OVER VERY WARM 
WATER AND BENEFITS FROM STRONG UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW AND LOW VERTICAL 
WIND SHEAR. WEAKENING WILL OCCUR AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OVER LAND, BUT 
SOME REINTENSIFICATION IS POSSIBLE AFTER THE SYSTEM MOVES BACK OVER 
WATER IN THE EXTENDED (96 TO 120 HOUR) FORECAST. TC 14S WILL 
ENCOUNTER AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LATITUDE 
FLOW PATTERN BY TAU 120, INDUCING THE FIRST PHASE OF EXTRATROPICAL 
TRANSITION. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT 
WITH GENERAL TRACK SCENARIO, INCLUDING EXPECTED LANDFALL IN 
MADAGASCAR, SLOW FORWARD MOTION IN THE MEDIUM-TERM AND AN EVENTUAL 
POLEWARD TURN. HOWEVER, THERE IS MARKED DIVERGENCE IN THE TIMELINE 
OF THE POLEWARD TURN AND FORWARD SPEED AFTER THE TURN. THIS IS 
LIKELY DUE TO UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXPECTED REORIENTATION 
OF THE STEERING PATTERN. GIVEN THE NOTED MODEL SPREAD, THERE IS LOW 
CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT TRACK FORECAST, WHICH LIES SLIGHTLY TO THE 
WEST OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST IN THE LATER TAUS CONSISTENT WITH A 
SHIFT IN THE CONSENSUS MODEL GUIDANCE. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE 
HEIGHT AT 150600Z IS 15 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 151500Z, 152100Z, 
160300Z AND 160900Z.//

REMARKS:
151500Z POSITION NEAR 15.3S 52.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 344 NM NORTH-
NORTHWEST OF ST. DENIS, LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT
09 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MSI SHOWS BROAD CONVECTIVE
BANDS THAT HAVE WRAPPED TIGHTER INTO A WELL-DEFINED, ALBEIT, RAGGED
LLC. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE LCC FEATURE IN THE MSI LOOP
AND IN THE 151029Z ATMS MICROWAVE PASS WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. THE
INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF AGENCY AND
SATCON DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM T3.0 TO T3.2 AND REFLECTS THE
SLIGHTLY IMPROVED STATE OF THE SYSTEM. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES
TC 14S IS IN AN AREA OF MODERATE (15-20 KT) VWS THAT IS OFFSET BY
EXCELLENT RADIAL OUTFLOW. ADDITIONALLY, SSTS AT 28C ARE CONDUCIVE.
THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR TO
THE SOUTHEAST. IT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL OVER THE EAST COAST OF
NORTHERN MADAGASCAR BY TAU 24 BEFORE RECURVING SOUTHEASTWARD AS THE
STR RECEDES AND THE NER TO THE NORTHEAST ASSUMES STEERING. THE
AFOREMENTIONED FAVORABLE CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST IN THE NEAR TERM
ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO INTENSIFY TO 60 KNOTS PRIOR TO LANDFALL.
AFTERWARD, INTERACTION WITH THE RUGGED MOUNTAIN RANGE OF MADAGASCAR
WILL ERODE THE CYCLONE TO 30 KNOTS BY TAU 72 BEFORE MAKING AN EXIT
BACK INTO THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN. DESPITE INCREASING VWS AND COOLING
SSTS, TC ELIAKIM IS FORECAST TO RE-INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY AS INCREASED
POLEWARD OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES PROVIDE
VENTILATION TO THE REMNANT CONVECTION. BY TAU 120, TC 14S WILL ALSO
BEGIN ETT AS A 40-KNOT SYSTEM WITH AN EXPANDING WIND FIELD. THE
AVAILABLE NUMERIC GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE NEAR- TO
MID-TERM, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THAT PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK
FORECAST. HOWEVER, AFTER TAU 72, THE CONSENSUS MEMBERS GREATLY DIFFER
IN TRACK SPEEDS, LENDING LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF
THE FORECAST. THERE IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY THAT TC ELIAKIM WILL
DISSIPATE OVER INLAND MADAGASCAR DUE TO FRICTIONAL EFFECTS AND 
INCREASING VWS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 151200Z IS 17 
FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 152100Z, 160300Z, 160900Z AND 161500Z.//

REMARKS:
152100Z POSITION NEAR 15.9S 51.3E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 349 NM
NORTHWEST OF ST DENIS, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 14 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS 
BROAD CONVECTIVE BANDING WEAPPING INTO A CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL 
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH 
CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE LLCC FEATURE IN THE INFRARED LOOP AND A 
151735Z 89GHZ MHS MICROWAVE IMAGE WITH A WELL DEFINED CENTRALLY 
LOCATED LOW REFLECTIITY AREA. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS HEDGED ON THE 
UPPER END OF MULTI-AGNECY DVORAK CURRENT INTENISTY ESTIMATES OF T3.0 
(45 KNOTS) FROM PGTW, KNES, AND FMEE. THE INITIAL INTENISTY IS 
SUPPORTED BY A 151735Z METOP-B ASCAT IMAGE WITH 45 KNOT WIND BARBS 
(45-49 KNOTS) IN THE EASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS 
REVEALS TC ELIAKIM HAS STRONG EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW, EVEN THE OUTFLOW 
IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE LLCC WRAPS AROUND THE EASTERN SEMI-
CIRCLE AND JOINS THE EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. ENVIRONMENTAL 
ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THE SYSTEM IS IN AN AREA OF LOW TO MODERATE (15-
20 KT) VWS AND IS TRACKING THROUGH AN AREA OF WARM (28-29 CELSIUS) 
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. TC 14S IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE 
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) LOCATED 
TO THE SOUTHEAST. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MAKE LANDFALL OVER 
NORTHEASTERN MADAGASCAR SHORTLY AFTER TAU 12. ONCE OVER LAND THE 
SYSTEM WILL RECURVE TO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE STR RECEDES AND THE NEAR 
EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST TAKES OVER AS THE PRIMARY STEERING 
FEATURE. FAVORABLE CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST PRIOR TO LANDFALL, 
ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO REACH A PEAK OF 55 KNOTS. AFTERWARD, 
INTERACTION WITH THE RUGGED MOUNTAIN RANGE OF MADAGASCAR WILL WEAKEN 
THE SYSTEM TO 30 KNOTS BY TAU 72. AFTER TAU 72 THE SYSTEM WILL EXIT 
BACK INTO THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN AND SLIGHTLY INTENSIFY. BY TAU 120, 
TC 14S WILL BEGIN EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION AS A 40 KNOT SYSTEM WITH 
AN EXPANSIVE WIND FIELD. A POSSIBLE ALTERNATE SCENARIO IS THAT THE 
SYSTEM COULD MORE RAPIDLY DISSIPATE AS IT TRACKS OVER MADAGASCAR AND 
EXIT INTO THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN AS A WEAK TROPICAL DEPRESSION THAT 
DOES NOT INTENSIFY TO THE WARNING CRITERIA OF 35 KNOTS. AVAILABLE 
DYNAMIC GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH TAU 24, AFTERWHICH THE 
MODELS VARY SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE TIMING AND SHARPNESS OF THE RECURVE 
TO THE SOUTHEAST AS WELL AS THE ALONG TRACK SPEED. THE LARGE 
VARIATIONS IN CONSENSUS MEMBERS LEND OVERALL LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE 
JTWC TRACK FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 151800Z IS 
18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 160300Z, 160900Z, 161500Z AND 162100Z.

REMARKS:
160300Z POSITION NEAR 16.1S 50.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 365 NM
NORTHWEST OF ST DENIS, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE 
IMAGERY SHOWS EXTENSIVE DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A WELL 
DEFINED AND CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE 
INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE LLCC 
FEATURE IN THE INFRARED LOOP AND A 152359Z 37GHZ SSMI/S MICROWAVE 
IMAGE. THE AFOREMENTIONED MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS DEEP CONVECTIVE 
BANDING IN THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN SEMI-CIRCLES WRAPPING TIGHTLY 
INTO A CENTRAL LOW REFLECTIVITY FEATURE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 55 
KNOTS IS HEDGED ABOVE MULTI-AGNECY DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY 
ESTIMATES OF T3.0 (45 KNOTS) FROM PGTW AND KNES, BASED ON THE 
IMPROVING CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE  AS THE STORM REACHES DIURNAL 
MAXIMUM. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY A RECENT SATCON 
ESTIMATE OF 56 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS TC ELIAKIM HAS 
STRONG EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW AND FORMATIVE POLEWARD OUTFLOW. 
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THE SYSTEM IS IN AN AREA OF LOW (5-
10 KT) VWS AND IS TRACKING THROUGH AN AREA OF WARM (28-29 CELSIUS) 
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. TC 14S IS CURRENTLY TRACKING SOUTHWEST 
ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE 
(STR) LOCATED TO THE SOUTHEAST. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MAKE 
LANDFALL OVER NORTHEASTERN MADAGASCAR PRIOR TO TAU 12 AND THE 
WESTERN EXTENT OF THE SYSTEM IS ALREADY INTERACTING WITH LAND. 
DESPITE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS, LAND INTERACTION WILL PREVENT 
ADDITIONAL INTENSIFICATION PRIOR TO LANDFALL. AFTER LANDFALL, THE 
SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO RECURVE TO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE NEAR 
EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST TAKES OVER AS THE PRIMARY STEERING 
FEATURE. INTERACTION WITH THE RUGGED MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OF NORTHERN 
MADAGASCAR WILL WEAKEN THE SYSTEM TO 30 KNOTS BY TAU 48. AFTER TAU 
60, THE SYSTEM WILL EXIT BACK INTO THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN AND 
SLIGHTLY INTENSIFY UNDER MARGINALLY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. AROUND TAU 
96, INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL BEGIN TO PREVENT EXTENSIVE 
INTENSIFICATION AND INTERACTION WITH A PASSING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL 
CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO BEGIN EXTRA TROPICAL TRANSITION. BY TAU 120, TC 
14S WILL BE A 45 KNOT SYSTEM WITH AN EXPANDING WIND FIELD. A 
POSSIBLE ALTERNATE SCENARIO IS THAT THE SYSTEM COULD MORE RAPIDLY 
DISSIPATE AS IT TRACKS OVER MADAGASCAR AND EXIT INTO THE SOUTH 
INDIAN OCEAN AS A WEAK TROPICAL DEPRESSION THAT DOES NOT INTENSIFY 
TO THE WARNING CRITERIA OF 35 KNOTS, THOUGH RECENT MODEL SOLUTIONS 
HAVE THE SYSTEM SPENDING LESS TIME OVER LAND MAKING THIS SOLUTION 
LESS LIKELY. AVAILABLE DYNAMIC GUIDANCE IS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT 
THROUGH TAU 24. AFTER TAU 24, THE MODELS VARY SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE 
TIMING AND SHARPNESS OF THE TURN TO THE SOUTHEAST WITH SOME MODELS 
TAKING THE SYSTEM MUCH FARTHER INLAND. THE LARGE VARIATIONS IN 
CONSENSUS MEMBERS LEND OVERALL LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK 
FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 160000Z IS 18 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 160900Z, 161500Z, 162100Z AND 170300Z. REFER TO TROPICAL 
CYCLONE 15S (FIFTEEN) WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.

REMARKS:
160900Z POSITION NEAR 15.9S 50.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 393 NM
NORTHWEST OF ST. DENIS, LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MSI SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS MAINTAINED
DEEP AND EXTENSIVE CONVECTIVE BANDS AS IT APPROACHED THE EAST COAST
OF NORTHERN MADAGASCAR. THE INITIAL POSITION IS EXTRAPOLATED FROM A
WELL-DEFINED MICROWAVE EYE IN THE 160216Z 36 GHZ GMI PASS WITH HIGH
CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON CONGRUENT DVORAK
ESTIMATES OF T3.5 (55 KNOTS) FROM PGTW AND KNES. TC 14S IS IMMINENTLY
POISED TO MAKE LANDFALL THEN TURN SW-WARD OVER LAND AS THE NER TO THE
NE TAKES OVER STEERING FROM THE STR TO THE SE. SHORTLY AFTER TAU 48,
THE CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO EXIT BACK INTO THE SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN
(SIO) AND BEGIN ETT. INTERACTION WITH THE RUGGED MOUNTAIN RANGE OF
EASTERN MADAGASCAR WILL ERODE THE SYSTEM DOWN TO 30 KNOTS. HOWEVER,
AFTER IT MAKES IT BACK ONTO WATER, INCREASED OUTFLOW AND TPW WILL
REVIVE THE CYCLONE AS IT GETS ABSORBED INTO THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. BY
TAU 120, ELIAKIM WILL TRANSFORM INTO A STRONG GALE-FORCE COLD CORE
LOW WITH AN EXPANSIVE WIND FIELD. THE AVAILABLE NUMERIC MODEL 
GUIDANCE IS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT, HOWEVER, THE INITIAL LAND 
INTERACTION MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT STORM MOTION, LENDING LOW 
CONFIDENCE TO THE NEAR- AND MID-TERM PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK 
FORECAST. THERE IS AN ALTERNATE POSSIBILITY OF THE CYCLONE 
COMPLETELY DISSIPATING OVER LAND WITH A MERE DISTURBANCE EXITING

REMARKS:
162100Z POSITION NEAR 16.0S 49.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 430 NM
NORTHWEST OF ST DENIS, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS 
DEEP BANDING CONVECTION WRAPPING INTO A WARM ANOMALY NOW OVER LAND IN
MADAGASCAR. A 161757Z 89GHZ MHS IMAGE SHOWS STRONG CONVECTION IN THE 
OUTER BANDING WITH RELATIVELY SHALLOW CONVECTION NEAR THE SYSTEM 
CENTER LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION. THE INITIAL 
INTENSITY ASSESSMENT OF 55 KNOTS IS BASED ON A WEAKENING TREND DUE 
TO LAND INTERACTION FROM A 161505Z SATCON ESTIMATE OF 69 KNOTS 
VALIDATED BY SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM ANTALAHA, MADAGASCAR 
REPORTING NORTHERLY SUSTAINED WINDS OF 60KTS NEAR 161200Z BUT HAVE 
SINCE DECREASED TO 32KTS FROM THE NORTHWEST. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS 
SHOWS A POINT SOURCE DIRECTLY OVER 14S WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR 
AND STRONG POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW CHANNELS. TC 14S IS 
CURRENTLY TRACKING WESTWARD ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED 
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST BUILDING A NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED 
EXTENSION TO THE EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE TRACK IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT 
SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD OVER THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS PARTIALLY DUE TO 
TOPOGRAPHICAL FEATURES ON MADAGASCAR LIMITING FURTHER WESTWARD 
MOTION AT THE SURFACE AND DUE TO THE REORIENTING STR. LAND 
INTERACTION WILL WEAKEN THE SYSTEM BEFORE RE-EMERGING OVER OPEN 
WATER SOMETIME AFTER TAU 36. SSTS WILL BE SUPPORTIVE INITIALLY NEAR 
28 CELSIUS, BUT WILL DECLINE CONSIDERABLY AFTER TAU 72 ALLOWING FOR 
ANOTHER WINDOW OF LIMITED INTENSIFICATION WITH OTHERWISE FAVORABLE 
CONDITIONS ALOFT. BEYOND TAY 72 TC 14S WILL BEGIN INTERACTING WITH A 
DEVELOPING MID LATITUDE TROUGH AND BEGIN TRANSITIONING INTO A COLD 
CORE SYSTEM. AN ALTERNATE SCENARIO IS PLAUSIBLE RESULTING IN FULL 
DISSIPATION WHILE TRACKING OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS REGION OF MADAGASCAR 
IN THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS GOOD 
AGREEMENT WITH THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY NOTING DIFFERENCES IN THE 
TRACK MOTION WHILE OVERLAND. THE ECMWF MODEL IS THE ONLY MODEL FROM 
THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS FAVORING THE DISSIPATION SCENARIO WITH A 
TRACK CONTINUING WEST TO WEST-SOUTHWEST FULLY DISSIPATING BY TAU 24 
BEFORE REEMERGING OVER WATER. OVERALL THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE 
FORECAST TRACK. NEXT WARNINGS AT 170300Z, 170900Z, 171500Z AND 
172100Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 15S (MARCUS) WARNINGS (WTXS32

REMARKS:
170300Z POSITION NEAR 16.0S 49.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 430 NM
NORTHWEST OF ST DENIS, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 01 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS 
A SYMMETRIC SYSTEM PRESENTLY OVER MADAGASCAR WITH PERSISTENT 
CONVECTION AND QUASI-STATIONARY MOVEMENT OVER THE LAST SIX HOURS. 
THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED PRIMARILY 
ON AGENCY SATELLITE FIXES IN CLOSE AGREEMENT WITH EACH OTHER. THE 
INITIAL INTENSITY ASSESSMENT OF 45 KNOTS REFLECTS A WEAKENING TREND 
DUE TO LAND INTERACTION AND SUPPORTED BY LOCAL SURFACE OBSERVATIONS. 
UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS A POINT SOURCE DIRECTLY OVER 14S WITH LOW 
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND STRONG POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW 
CHANNELS. TC 14S IS CURRENTLY QUASI-STATIONARY WITH THE MAIN 
STEERING RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST CURRENTLY REORIENTING ITSELF ON A 
NORTH-SOUTH AXIS. THE TRACK IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD 
OVER THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS PARTIALLY DUE TO TOPOGRAPHICAL FEATURES 
ON MADAGASCAR LIMITING FURTHER WESTWARD MOTION AT THE SURFACE AND 
DUE TO THE REORIENTING STR. LAND INTERACTION WILL WEAKEN THE SYSTEM

REMARKS:
172100Z POSITION NEAR 17.7S 49.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 376 NM
WEST-NORTHWEST OF ST DENIS, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 09
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY 
DEPICTS A SYMMETRIC SYSTEM WITH PERSISTENT CONVECTIVE BANDING 
WRAPPING INTO A BROAD LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE 
INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE PGTW 
SATELLITE FIX AND EXTRAPOLATION FROM A 171433Z 91GHZ SSMI/S 
MICROWAVE IMAGE THAT SHOWS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING, PREDOMINANTLY IN 
THE SOUTHEASTERN QUADRANT. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS 
BASED ON A SLIGHT DISSIPATION IN THE CONVECTION OVER THE PAST SIX 
HOURS. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS STRONG EQUATORWARD 
AND POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNELS, WITH THE LATTER TAPPING INTO THE MID-
LATITUDE FLOW. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS REVEALS THE SYSTEM IS IN AN 
AREA OF LOW (5-10 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), AND IS TRACKING 
THROUGH AN AREA OF WARM (28-29 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. 
TC 14S IS NOW BACK OVER WATER AND PERSISTENT FAVORABLE CONDITIONS 
WILL ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY THROUGH TAU 48 AS IT 
TRACKS TO THE SOUTHEAST. AFTER TAU 48, COOLING SEA SURFACE 
TEMPERATURES COUPLED WITH INCREASING VWS WILL PREVENT ADDITIONAL 
INTENSIFICATION. EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) IS FORECAST TO BEGIN 
AROUND TAU 72 AND THE SYSTEM WILL COMPLETE ETT BY TAU 96. TC 14S 
WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHWARD TO SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE 
INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTHEAST. AVAILABLE 
DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN STRONG AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK 
DIRECTION LENDING OVERALL HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST TRACK. 
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 171800Z IS 20 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 180300Z, 180900Z, 181500Z AND 182100Z.

REMARKS:
180300Z POSITION NEAR 18.8S 49.7E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 341 NM
WEST-NORTHWEST OF ST DENIS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 11 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE 
IMAGERY SHOWS PERSISTENT CONVECTION IN THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE OF A 
BROAD LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE INITIAL POSITION IS 
PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE PGTW SATELLITE FIX AND A 
172238Z 882BT ATMS MICROWAVE IMAGE WITH A LOW REFLECTIVITY NOTCH 
FEATURE. THE AFOREMENTIONED MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS DEEP CONVECTION TO 
THE SOUTH OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER AND WEAK BANDING WRAPPING IN 
FROM THE SOUTHEAST. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS BASED ON 
THE UNCHANGED NATURE OF THE CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE OVER THE PAST SIX 
HOURS LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE OF THE 
SYSTEM IS STILL OVER LAND. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS 
STRONG EQUATORWARD AND POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNELS, THE LATTER OF 
WHICH IS CURRENTLY BEING ENHANCED BY THE MID-LATITUDE FLOW. 
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS REVEALS THE SYSTEM IS IN AN AREA OF LOW (10-
15 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), AND IS TRACKING THROUGH AN AREA 
OF WARM (28-29 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES ALONG THE COAST OF 
MADAGASCAR. TC ELIAKIM IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY THROUGH 
TAU 48 UNDER PERSISTENT FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. AFTER TAU 48, 
INCREASING VWS COMBINED WITH COOLING SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL 
BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM. TC 14S WILL ALSO BEGIN EXTRATROPICAL 
TRANSITION (ETT) AROUND TAU 48 AND THE SYSTEM WILL COMPLETE ETT BY 
TAU 72. TC 14S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE  TRACKING SOUTH TO SOUTH-
SOUTHEASTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE

WRAPPING INTO THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. THERE IS HIGH 
CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION BASED ON RECENT SATELLITE FIXES 
AND A LOW REFLECTION CIRCULATION FEATURE OBSERVED IN AN 181555Z 89

NEAR 27 CELSIUS. TC 14S IS TRACKING SOUTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN 
PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. 
THE FORECAST TRACK WILL SHIFT SOUTH-SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHEAST OVER THE 
NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS GUIDED BY THE CURRENT STEERING RIDGE. TC 14S IS 
FORECAST TO INTENSIFY REACHING A PEAK INTENSITY OF 60 KNOTS BY TAU

ENCROACHING NORTHWEST POINT SOURCE. BEYOND TAU 24, SSTS WILL BEGIN 
TO DECREASE WITH A STEEP GRADIENT POLEWARD OF 30 DEGREES SOUTH. 
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS ALSO FORECAST TO INCREASE AS A SHORT WAVE 
TROUGH DEVELOPS JUST WEST OF THE SYSTEM AND TC 14S WILL GRADUALLY 
WEAKEN. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRANSITION INTO AN EXTRATROPICAL

REMARKS:
200300Z POSITION NEAR 26.9S 52.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 390 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF ST DENIS, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT
10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) 
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS BANDING CONVECTION SHEARED TO THE POLEWARD 
AND EASTWARD SIDE OF A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION 
CENTER (LLCC). THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE FOREMENTIONED 
EIR IMAGERY. THE INITIAL INTENSITY ASSESSMENT OF 45 KNOTS IS BASED 
ON PERSISTENCE AND SUPPORTED BY A DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T3.0 
FROM FMEE. THE ENVIRONMENT IS NO LONGER FAVORABLE FOR 
INTENSIFICATION, WITH HIGH (GREATER THAN 25 KNOTS) NORTHWESTERLY 
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OFFSET BY GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. SSTS ARE 25 
CELSIUS AND DROPPING. TC 14S IS TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG 
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST. THE 
STORM WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD FOR THE REMAINDER 
OF THE FORECAST, BEGINNING EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) BY TAU 12, 
AND COMPLETING ETT BY TAU 36. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS TIGHTLY 
GROUPED, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM 
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 200000Z IS 22 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 
200900Z, 201500Z, 202100Z AND 210300Z. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 15S 
(MARCUS) WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.//

REMARKS:
201500Z POSITION NEAR 29.4S 54.1E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 14S (ELIAKIM), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 499 NM
SOUTH OF ST. DENIS, LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 13
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MSI SHOWS THE LOW LEVEL 
CIRCULATION (LLC) HAS BECOME FULLY EXPOSED, RAGGED, AND ELONGATED AS 
THE DEEP CONVECTION SHEARED FURTHER TO THE SOUTH. THE INITIAL 
POSITION AND UNRAVELING CONDITION OF THE LLC IS ALSO EVIDENT ON THE 
201146Z GPM 36GHZ IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 45 KNOTS IS BASED 
ON RECENT ASCAT IMAGERY SHOWING EXTENSIVE 40 TO 45 KNOT WINDS. TC 
ELIAKIM HAS BEGUN RAPID ETT AND IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A STRONG GALE-
FORCE COLD CORE LOW WITH AN EXPANSIVE WIND FIELD BY TAU 12. NUMERIC 
MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE 
IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM 
BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI. THE SYSTEM WILL BE 
CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT 
WAVE HEIGHT AT 201200Z IS 20 FEET. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 15S 
(MARCUS) WARNINGS (WTXS32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.//
