2.B OTHER INFORMATIONS:
T=3.0 AND CI=4.0-
"BONGWE" HAS NEARLLY STALLED SINCE THAT NIGHT, STUCKED BETWEEN STEERING
FLUX FROM THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO HIS NORTH-EAST AND THE ONE FROM THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO HIS SOUTH-WEST.

COOLER SST INDUCE BY THE STALLING POSITION AND PROXIMITY OF A PERSISTENT
AREA OF DRY AIR COULD BE RESPONSIBLE OF THE DETERIORATION OF THE CLOUDS
CONFIGURATION THIS AFTERNOON (CONFIRMED WITH THE MICROWAVE IMAGERY OF
NOAA18 AT 0856Z)
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WILL STRONGLY DETERIORATE AT DAY 1 WITH
INCREASING NORTHWEST VERTICAL WINDSHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL
CUT OFF LOW THAT WILL DEVELOP SOUTH-WEST OF "BONGWE". SO, INTENSITY
SHOULD NOT REACHED TROPICAL CYCLONE STAGE WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HEURES AND
STEADY WEAKENING IS FORE
CAST.

"BONGWE" SHOULD SOON TRACK SLOWLY WESTWARDS. AT H+36, A WEAKNESS IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SHOULD ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO TURN MORE SOUTHWESTWARDS.

2.B OTHER INFORMATIONS:
T=2.5 AND CI=3.0

"BONGWE" HAS RE-STARTED TO TRACK WESTNORTHWESTAWARDS. THE SYSTEM
UNDERGOES AN INCREASING NORTHWESTERLY VERTICAL WINDSHEAR (FRONT OF AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH), AND THE LLCC IS NOW TOTALLY EXPOSED. IT SHOULD
DISSIPATE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
THE RESIDUAL VORTEX SHOULD CURVE SOUTHWESTWARDS BEYOND THE 25 DUE TO A
WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE.
