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.
