2.B OTHER INFORMATIONS:
T=5.0- CI=5.5
CLEO HAS FINALLY MAINTAIN AN EMBEDDED CENTER PATTERN MOST OF THE
NIGHT.
MEAN DT OVER 3 HOURS (SMALL SYSTEM) GIVES A LITTLE LESS THAN 5.0.
CURRENT
POSITION IS BASED ON AQUA OF 20:41Z. MW IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS THAT
INTERNAL
STRUCTURE OF SYSTEM HAS STRONGLY DETERIORATED WITHIN THE LAST 12
HOURS.
ACCORDING TO CIMSS DATA, EASTNORTHEASTERLY WINDSHEAR IS NOW AT 15 KT.
ANALYSE OF LATEST AVAILABLE NWP PRODUCTS (12Z RUN) SHOW THAT THIS
UNFAVORABLE ELEMENT COULD STRENGHEN THIS EVENING. MOREOVER, SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY MOVING AWAY FROM HIGH OCEANIC CONTENT WATER. CONSEQUENTLY,
A
WEAKENING TREND IS INDICATED FOR THE WHOLE FORECAST PERIOD. DUE TO
ITS
SMALL SIZE, THE WEAKEN
ING TREND COULD BE FASTER THAN ESTIMATED IN THIS FORECAST.
THE SYSTEM TRACKS WESTSOUTHWESTWARDS ON THE NORTHWESTERN EDGE OF A
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHEAST. AVAILABLE NWP REMAIN IN
GOOD
AGREEMENT FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS BUT SHOW SOME DISAGREEMENT
THEREAFTER.
UKMET HAS THE NORTHERN MOST TRACK WITH A QUASI-WESTWARDS, ON THE
OTHER
HAND SOME GUIDANCE
, AS NGP, A MORE SOUTHWESTWARDS TRACK.
THE PRESENT FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF ALL AVAILABLE
GUIDANCE
AND IS A BIT SOUTHWARDS THAN PREVIOUSLY ESTIMATED.=

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 03S (CLEO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 480 NM
SOUTHWEST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 09
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
REMAINS FULLY EXPOSED, AND THE REMAINING DEEP CONVECTION IS NEARLY
DEPLETED. CONVECTION IS NOT EXPECTED TO REBUILD OVER THE CENTER DUE
TO THE CONTINUED EFFECTS OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND DRY AIR. PGTW
AND KNES INTENSITY FIXES CONCUR THAT THE SYSTEM IS 35 KNOTS OR LESS.
THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON
WARNING CENTER (NAVMARFCSTCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONI-
TORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
110600Z IS 14 FEET.//
