Re: SIO: INVEST 97S
AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 8.9S 82.3E,
APPROXIMATELY 590 NM EAST OF DIEGO GARCIA. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS FLARING AND DISORGANIZED DEEP CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH A SLOWLY CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER.
A 221409Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS FORMATIVE BANDING FEATURES
ALONG THE ALONG THE SOUTHERN FLANK OF A BROAD AREA OF TURNING. UPPER
LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS A MIXED ENVIRONMENT AS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF
THE SYSTEM IS EXPERIENCING UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS OF HIGH (20 TO 30
KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) WHILE VWS IS CONSIDERABLY LOWER AT
ONLY 05 TO 10 KNOTS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERIES. SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES IN THE REGION ARE CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1006 MB. NUMERICAL MODEL
GUIDANCE IS GENERALLY DEVELOPING THIS SYSTEM AS IT MOVES TO THE
SOUTHWEST ALTHOUGH AT VARYING TIME FRAMES. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS LOW.

Re: SIO: INVEST 97S
THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 8.8S 72.4E,
IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 9.9S 70.3E, APPROXIMATELY 200 NM SOUTHWEST OF
DIEGO GARCIA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A
PARTIALLY-EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH A LARGE
AREA OF PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION SHEARED WEST OF THE CENTER. A
250414Z METOP-B 89 GHZ DEPICTS A DEFINED LLCC WITH FORMATIVE BANDING
WRAPPING INTO THE CENTER. A 250415Z ASCAT IMAGE REVEALS A SLIGHTLY
ELONGATED CIRCULATION WITH NUMEROUS 25 TO 30 KNOT WINDS, EXCEPT OVER
THE EASTERN QUADRANT. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A MARGINAL
ENVIRONMENT WITH STRONG (30 TO 50 KNOTS) EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR OFFSET BY VIGOROUS POLEWARD OUTFLOW INTO A MIDLATITUDE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT
25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR
1002 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.

EIGHT DEGREES EAST)

DEPRESSION
120H: 2014/12/01 06 UTC: 21.3 S / 57.8 E, MAX WIND=025 KT, LOW
2.C ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS:
T=1.5+ AND CI =2.0
THE DEEP CONVECTION REMAINS CLEARLY FLUCTUATING AND SHIFTED WEST OF
THE LOW LEVEL CENTRE DUE TO EFFECT OF THE EAST-NORTHEASTERLY VERTICAL
WIND-SHEAR.THE WIND STRUCTURE IS QUITE ATYPICAL, LIKE A MONSOON
DEPRESSION STRUCTURE, WITH AN AREA OF STRONG WINDS RATHER FAR AWAY
FROM THE CENTRE SURROUNDING A BROAD AREA OF LIGHTER WINDS NEAR THE
CENTRE. 0442Z ASCAT SWATH CONFIRMS THIS PATTERN OVER THE WESTERN PART
OF THE SYSTEM.
THE SYSTEM IS UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOW/MID LEVELS
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE EXISTING IN ITS SOUTH AND SHOULD TRACK ON THE
NORTH-WESTERN EDGE OF THIS RIDGE UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING. THE
AVAILABLE NWP MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT UNTIL THIS TERM.
AFTER THAT, THE DIFFERENT MODELS AND ECMWF ENSEMBLE SHOW A HIGH
SPREAD FOR THE TRACK. THIS OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK IS CLOSE TO THE
MEAN OF THE MODELS. CONSEQUENTLY, ON AND AFTER SATURDAY, THE SYSTEM
IS EXPECTED TO RECURVE SOUTHWARD WITHIN A WEAKNESS ASSOCIATED TO A
MID LATITUDES TROUGH PASSING SOUTHWARD. IT SHOULD PASS EAST OF
MAURITIUS SUNDAY EVENING.
AN ALTERNATIVE SCENARIO CONSISTS TO MAINTAIN THE SYSTEM ON A
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK NORTH OF MASCARENES. SO, THERE IS A LOW
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST TRACK AT LONG RANGE.
ON THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK, THE ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
NORTH-EASTERLY SHEARED AT LEAST UNTIL THURSDAY BEFORE A TEMPORARILY
RELAX OF THIS CONSTRAINT ON THURSDAY NIGHT (UNDER THE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE AXIS). MOST OF THE NWP GUIDANCES ARE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC TO DEEPEN
THIS LOW ... LIKELY DUE TO THE BROAD NATURE OF THE WIND FIELDS AND
THE RELATIVE WEAKNESS OF THE CIRCULATION. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS
ALSO EXPECTED TO WEAKEN FRIDAY.=

SATURDAY. DURING THE SAME TIME, THE LOW LEVEL INFLOW WILL BECOME POOR
EQUATORWARD AND SST WILL DECREASE, SO THE INTENSIFICATION WILL REMAIN
LIMITATED. ON SUNDAY, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
