semicircle possibly increasing to 35 knots in the next 24 to 36
hours.

Cloud organisation has increased significantly in the past 12 hours.
A primary band to the south continues to develop as it rotates into
the LLCC. Outflow is fair to good in all quadrants. Dvorak based on
Curved band wrap of 0.4 on log10 spiral with DT=2.0 PAT =2.0 Final
T=2.0, thus T2.0/2.0/D0.5/06hrs. 05F currently lies in a favourable
