REMARKS:
181500Z POSITION NEAR 11.2S 62.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 750 NM NORTH-
EAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. TC 05S WILL TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TO WEST-
WARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE
OF THE LOW- TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SITUATED POLEWARD
OF THE SYSTEM. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN GOOD AGREE-
MENT WITH THIS FORECAST AND TRACK THE SYSTEM TOWARD NORTHERN
MADAGASCAR. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND AN
181123Z AMSU IMAGE DEPICT A SLOWLY CONSOLIDATING SYSTEM WITH
DEEP CONVECTION WRAPPING TIGHTLY INTO THE CENTER. ANIMATED
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES THAT BOTH EQUATORWARD AND POLE-
WARD OUTFLOW HAVE IMPROVED OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. TC 05S
IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY AT A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE
BASED ON PERSISTENCE AND AVAILABLE INTENSITY GUIDANCE. THIS

REMARKS:
190300Z POSITION NEAR 11.0S 59.8E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 680 NM
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 14 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 05S CONTINUES TO TRACK WESTWARD, UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) SITUATED POLEWARD OF
THE SYSTEM. A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER MADAGASCAR
WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE STR ALLOWING FOR A SLOW POLEWARD DRIFT BET-
WEEN TAU 24 AND TAU 36. BY TAU 36 THE TROUGH WILL FILL ALLOWING THE
STR TO BUILD AND REORIENT OVER MADAGASCAR CAUSING A SLIGHT EQUATOR-
WARD TURN AROUND TAU 48. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
181848Z TRMM PASS REVEAL THAT THE SYSTEM HAS RAPIDLY INTENSIFIED OVER
THE PAST 12 HOURS. INCREASED POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND A DEVELOPING EQUA-
TORWARD OUTFLOW ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPROVED STRUCTURE OF THE SYSTEM.
THROUGH TAU 48 THIS INCREASED OUTFLOW WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY TC
05S. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS
FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 190000Z IS 18 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 191500Z AND 200300Z.//

200300Z POSITION NEAR 10.7S 55.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 725 NM
NORTHEAST OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT
12 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 05S HAS CONTINUED TO INTEN-
SIFY UNDER THE COMBINED INFLUENCES OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
AND EXCELLENT RADIAL OUTFLOW OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. THE STORM
WILL TRACK WESTWARD THROUGH TAU 24 ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN PERI-
PHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ANCHORED EAST OF LA REUNION. BEYOND
TAU 24, THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY TURN SOUTHWESTWARD
TOWARD A DEVELOPING WEAKNESS IN THE STEERING RIDGE INDUCED BY AN
APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. TC 05S IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN
INTENSITY THROUGH TAU 24 WITH FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT.
HOWEVER, INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND DISRUPTION OF LOW
LEVEL INFLOW ALONG THE NORTHERN COAST OF MADAGASCAR ARE FORECAST
TO INDUCE A SLIGHT WEAKENING BETWEEN TAU 24 AND TAU 48. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 200000Z IS 30 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
201500Z AND 210300Z.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 670 NM
NORTHEAST OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 05S HAS SLOWLY WEAKENED OVER
THE PAST 12 HOURS AS IT MOVES INTO A REGION OF HIGHER VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR. OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS TC 05S HAS OSCILLATED EQUATORWARD, BUT
WILL BEGIN TO TRACK WESTWARD AGAIN BY TAU 12. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH THAT
IS CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHERN AFRICA WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE SUBTROP-
ICAL RIDGE CURRENTLY STEERING TC 05S. THIS WILL CAUSE TC 05S TO BEGIN
TRACKING TO THE SOUTHWEST. FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL HELP TO
MAINTAIN CURRENT INTENSITY THROUGH TAU 24. INCREASING VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AND A DISRUPTION OF LOW LEVEL INFLOW BEYOND TAU 24 WILL BEGIN

635 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS
TRACKED WESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS INDICATES TC 05S HAS WEAKENED DUE TO
AN EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE AND REDUCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW.
DESPITE ENCOUNTERING HIGHER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE
NEXT 24 HOURS, THE STORM WILL REMAIN IN AN OTHERWISE
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT AND MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT INTENSITY.
REINTENSIFICATION IS LIKELY AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS TOWARD THE
MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL AND ESTABLISHES RADIAL OUTFLOW UNDER THE
UPPER-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS. TC 05S WILL BEGIN TO
TRACK TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST AFTER 24 HOURS AS THE CURRENT
STEERING RIDGE (OVER THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL) RETREATS WEST-
WARD IN RESPONSE TO A DEEPENING TROUGH TO THE EAST OF

REMARKS:
220300Z POSITION NEAR 10.5S 50.0E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 550
NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN STORM INTENSITY
OVER THE LAST 12 HOURS. THE STORM ENCOUNTERED A REGION OF HIGHER
THAN EXPECTED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WHICH DISPLACED THE DEEP
CONVECTION FROM THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. AS A RESULT,
THE FORECAST INTENSITY IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN PREVIOUS
FORECASTS TO REFLECT A MUCH WEAKER SYSTEM INTERACTING WITH LAND.
IN FACT, MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY CLEARLY DEPICTS THAT TC 05S
HAS STARTED TRACKING SOUTHWEST TOWARD MADAGASCAR IN RESPONSE TO A
DEVELOPING WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (ASSOCIATED WITH A
DEEPENING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH). THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE
IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO THROUGH TAU 48.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 220000Z IS 32 FEET. NEXT
WARNINGS AT 221500Z AND 230300Z. JUSTIFICATION FOR CORRECTION:

REMARKS:
221500Z POSITION NEAR 10.6S 49.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 540 NM NORTH-
NORTHEAST OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 03
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAG-
ERY DEPICTS RAPIDLY RE-DEVELOPING DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 06
HOURS WITH SPIRAL CURVED BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE SYSTEM CENTER.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND DETAILED UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOW
THAT AN ANTICYCLONE HAS RE-FORMED OVER THE SYSTEM RESULTING IN IM-
PROVED OVERALL OUTFLOW ALOFT. FURTHERMORE, VERTICAL WIND SHEAR HAS
DECREASED AND IS NOW LIGHT TO MODERATE. THE 22/00Z UPPER LEVEL ANAL-
YSIS INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF A POLEWARD-ORIENTED MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS EAST. THE
SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH TAU 24
BUT WILL TURN SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD BY TAU 36 AS THE NEXT MIDLATITUDE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH CREATES A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE OVER SOUTHERN MADAG-
ASCAR. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS
FORECAST. TC 05S IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY DUE TO THE IMPROVED
ENVIRONMENT, HOWEVER, INTERACTION WITH LAND AFTER TAU 24 SHOULD SERVE
TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM. THERE STILL REMAINS CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY IN
THE INTENSITY FORECAST DUE TO THE HIGHLY CYCLIC NATURE OF THE DEEP
CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE
SYSTEM MAY TRACK MORE SOUTHWESTWARD, FURTHER FROM LAND. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 221200Z IS 29 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
230300Z AND 231500Z.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 510 NM
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS REMAINED QUASI-
STATIONARY OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE CURRENT SYNOPTIC SITUATION
HAS TC 05S IN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT, WITH COMPETING INFLUENCES
FROM A WEAK SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST OF THE SYSTEM AND
RIDGING TO THE SOUTH. OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES
THIS PATTERN WILL MAINTAIN A SLOW DRIFT SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH
TAU 48. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT CONVECTION
HAS CONTINUED TO RELOCATE OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH
INCREASED EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. DECREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND AN
ANTI-CYCLONE RE-ESTABLISHING OVER TC 05S IS HELPING TO MAINTAIN ITS
PRESENT INTENSITY. AS TC 05S CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE, A SLIGHT INTEN-
SITY INCREASE IS EXPECTED THROUGH TAU 12. BEYOND TAU 12 THE TOPO-
GRAPHIC INFLUENCE OF MADAGASCAR ON THE LOW LEVEL INFLOW WILL BEGIN
TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM THROUGH TAU 48. THERE STILL REMAINS CONSIDERABLE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE INTENSITY FORECAST DUE TO THE HIGHLY CYCLIC NATURE
OF THE DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 36 HOURS AS WELL AS THE POSSI-
BILITY THAT THE SYSTEM MAY TRACK MORE SOUTHWESTWARD, FURTHER FROM

REMARKS:
241500Z POSITION NEAR 13.4S 47.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 355 NM
NORTH OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT
06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. A SLIGHTLY DOMINANT SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE ANCHORED EAST OF MADAGASCAR IS STEERING THE CYCLONE ALONG
THE NORTHWEST COAST OF THE ISLAND. SLOW SOUTHWESTWARD MOTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AIDED BY
ENHANCED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE WARM SEAS OF THE MOZ-
AMBIQUE CHANNEL. GOOD UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW AND LOW TO MODERATE
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL PERSIST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS, BUT
INTERACTION WITH LAND AND ENTRAINMENT OF DRIER AIR SHOULD SUFFIC-
IENTLY OFFSET THESE FAVORABLE INFLUENCES TO PRODUCE A SLOW
WEAKENING. AFTER TAU 24, CONTINUED LAND INTERACTION, INCREASING

REMARKS:
250300Z POSITION NEAR 14.4S 47.1E.8
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 295 NM
NORTH OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT
SIX KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. A STRENGTHENING SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE EAST OF MADAGASCAR IS EXPECTED TO TRACK TC 05S POLEWARD,
PASSING OVER MADAGASCAR AND EMERGING IN THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL
WITHIN 48 HOURS. LAND INTERACTION AND DISRUPTED LOW-LEVEL INFLOW
SHOULD CONTINUE THE OBERVED WEAKENING TREND; HOWEVER, A TRACK
FLUCTUATION A BIT FURTHER TO THE WEST (REMAINING CLOSER TO WATER)
WOULD LEAD TO A STRONGER SYSTEM. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 250000Z IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 251500Z AND 260300Z.//

REMARKS:
251500Z POSITION NEAR 15.7S 46.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 225 NM
NORTH OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT
EIGHT KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE STORM IS TRACKING SOUTH-
WESTWARD WITH INCREASING FORWARD SPEED ALONG THE WESTERN PERI-
PHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ANCHORED EAST OF MADAGASCAR. THIS
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH
SOME DEVIATIONS IN TRACK POSSIBLE AS THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
INTERACTS WITH THE RUGGED TERRAIN OF NORTHWESTERN MADAGASCAR.
THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE SIGNIFICANTLY AS IT TRACKS
OVER LAND BUT COULD REEMERGE OVER THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL WITH
SUFFICIENT ORGANIZATION TO RETAIN STATUS AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE,
AS REFLECTED IN THE CURRENT FORECAST. HOWEVER, INCREASING VERTI-
CAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO PREVENT SIGNIFICANT REGENERATION
AFTER THE SYSTEM REENTERS THE CHANNEL. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 251200Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 260300Z AND
261500Z.//

260300Z POSITION NEAR 17.9S 45.8E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 05S (BONDO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 115 NM
NORTH-NORTHWEST OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-
WARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 05S HAS WEAKENED
RAPIDLY OVER LAND DUE TO THE TERRAIN OF MADAGASCAR. TC 05S IS
FORECAST TO TRACK OVER LAND AND CONTINUE TO WEAKEN. THE DYNAMIC
AIDS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO, ALTHOUGH EGRR
DEPICTS AN ALTERNATE SCENARIO IN WHICH THE REMNANT LOW TRACKS
OVER THE EASTERN MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL. SHOULD THIS OCCUR RE-
GENERATION IS POSSIBLE. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS
OF THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. 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.//
