2.B OTHER INFORMATIONS:
T AND CI=5.5-
ANJA REMAINS A SMALL SIZE SYSTEM AND ITS INTENSITY IS STATIONARY
DURING LAST NIGHT.
ACCORDING TO THE LAST STALLITE IMAGERY, ANJA BEGINS TO TURN
SOUTHWESTWARD
.
THE SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT IS STILL FAVORABLE WITH GOOD LOW LEVELS
INFLOWS
AND POOR VERTICAL UPPER LEVELS WIND SHEAR AND A RATHER GOOD UPPER
LEVELS
DIVERGENCE POLEWARD.
THE EFFICIENCY OF THE POLAR OUTFLOW IS WEAKENING DUE TO THE WESTERLY
JET
MOVING EASTWARD.
THE STEERING FLOW IS THE MID TROPOSPHERE RIDGE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM
WHICH
MOVES EASTWARD.
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO KEEP ON TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARDS THEN RECURVING
SOUTHWARDS BEFORE EVACUATING IN THE MID LATITUDES AT MEDIUM RANGE.
ON THIS FORECASTED TRACK, THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN
GOOD
DURING THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.
BEYOND THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK OVER COOLER SST, SOUTH OF 16S.
UPPER LEVELS VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE AFTER TAU
36H.=

REMARKS:
161500Z POSITION NEAR 15.1S 68.0E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S (ANJA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 690 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF PORT LOUIS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST 06 HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
160849Z AMSR-E IMAGE DEPICT A VERY SMALL, AXISYMMETRIC SYSTEM WITH
A 15-NM EYE AND UNIFORM RING OF SURROUNDING DEEP CONVECTION I.E.,
AN ANNULAR SYSTEM. OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, THE SYSTEM HAS LOST THE
OUTER BANDING WHILE DEEP CONVECTION HAS INTENSIFIED. DVORAK
ESTIMATES HAVE REMAINED STEADY AT 102 KNOTS DESPITE SLIGHT COOLING
OF THE EYE TEMPERATURE WITH AUTOMATED DVORAKS AT 105 KNOTS. THERE
IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION AND RECENT ACCELERATION
BASED ON THE EYE FIXES. TC 01S IS FORECAST TO RE-CURVE AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING MIDLATITUDE, DEEP TROUGH AND ACCELERATE SOUTHEASTWARD
WITHIN THE STRONG MIDLATITUDE WESTERLY FLOW. MODEL GUIDANCE IS
IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD BUT
DOES REFLECT SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN TRACK SPEEDS AFTER TAU 48.
THIS FORECAST IS SLOWER THAN THE CONSENSUS AT TAU 72/96 DUE TO
EXCESSIVE TRACK SPEEDS ASSOCIATED WITH WBAR, GFDN AND NOGAPS.
THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY TO A PEAK OF 115 KNOTS DUE
TO IMPROVING POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND, IN GENERAL, IS NOT EXPECTED
TO WEAKEN THROUGH TAU 24 DUE TO ITS ANNULAR CHARACTERISTICS.
THEREAFTER, THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK OVER COOLER SST, LOWER OCEAN
HEAT CONTENT AND WILL ENCOUNTER INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
WHICH IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY WEAKEN THE SYSTEM. TC 01S IS
FORECAST TO BEGIN EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) AFTER TAU 48
AND COMPLETE ETT BY TAU 96. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
161200Z IS 25 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 170300Z AND 171500Z.//

Looking at all the data and its look, my guess is that it peaked at 120 kt, with a pressure of 946mb. I would guess 80 kt right now (pressure 978mb).

REMARKS:
171500Z POSITION NEAR 19.0S 66.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 01S (ANJA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 640 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC ANJA HAS RAPIDLY DETERIORATED OVER THE
PAST 12 HOURS AND LOST ITS PINHOLE EYE. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE DEEP CONVECTION HAS BECOME LOOSELY
ORGANIZED AND THE 170931Z AMSRE MICROWAVE IMAGE INDICATES THE LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) MAY BE PARTIALLY-EXPOSED TO THE WEST
OF THE DEEP CONVECTION AS THE SYSTEM IS STARTING TO ENCOUNTER
INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR POLEWARD OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
AXIS. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE AMSRE MICROWAVE IMAGE IN
CONCERT WITH POSITION FIXES FROM PGTW AND FMEE. THE CURRENT
INTENSITY IS SUPPORTED BY DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW (65-90 KNOTS)
AND FMEE (55-77 KNOTS). TC 01S IS SOUTH OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
AXIS AND WILL GRADUALLY ACCELERATE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND TRACK
SOUTHEASTWARD AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH.
ADDITIONALLY, TC ANJA WILL ENCOUNTER MORE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LATITUDE FLOW THAT WILL FURTHER WEAKEN THE
SYSTEM. FINALLY, AS BUOYS IN THE AREA ARE REPORTING SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES OF APPROXIMATELY 26.0C, THE SYSTEM WILL START TO TRACK
OVER MORE UNFAVORABLE WATERS. BY TAU 24, TC 01S WILL START TO
INTERACT WITH THE APPROACHING BAROCLINIC SYSTEM AND IT WILL COMPLETE
EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION INTO A WEAK BAROCLINIC SYSTEM BY TAU 36.
THE MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS
FORECAST SCENARIO. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 171200Z IS 18

DUE TO LACK OF CLEAR CENTER ON RECENT MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY, THE
LOCATION
OF THE CENTER IN THIS ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXTRAPOLATED.
WINDS EXTENSION HAS BEEN RECALIBRATED THANKS TO 1343Z QUIKSCAT SWATH.
ANJA'S WINDS STUCTURE IS VERY ASSYMETRIC AND STRONGEST WINDS EXTEND
MAINLY FAR IN THE EASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE.
ENVIRONMENT BECOMING MORE AND MORE UNFAVORABLE :
COOLER SST, AND INCREASING NORTHWESTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR.
ANJA HAS ACCELERATED SOUTHWESTWARDS AND IS EXPECTED SOON TO RECURVE
SOUTHWARDS THEN SOUTHEASTWARDS.
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED UNDERGOING A STRONG VERTICAL WINDSHEAR AND RAPIDLY
WEAKENING.=

2.B OTHER INFORMATIONS:
T=2.5+ AND CI=3.5
NORTHWESTERLY INCREASING VERTICAL WINDSHEAR HAS TOTALLY DISORGANIZED
THE
RESIDUAL DEEP CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE.
DUE TO LACK OF CLEAR LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER ON RECENT
MULTISPECTRAL
IMAGERY (MICROWAVE OR INFRARED), THE LOCATION OF THE ESTIMATED
CENTER IS
VERY APPROXIMATELY AND WILL PROBABLY BE RELOCATED ON NEXT ADVISORY.
ANJA'S WINDS STUCTURE IS VERY ASSYMETRIC AND STRONGEST WINDS EXTEND
MAINLY FAR IN THE EASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE.
SYSTEM IS SOON EXPECTED TO RECURVE SOUTHWARDS THEN TO EVACUATE
SOUTHEASTWARDS.
SYSTEM SHOULD MAKE ITS EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION WITHIN THE POLAR
TROUGH
TRANSITING IN ITS SOUTH AND THEN DISSIPATE WITHIN TAU 48 TO 72H.=
