SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 281051Z JAN 07//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 8.0S 66.8E TO 10.7S 64.7E WITH-
IN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY IS-
SUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. WINDS
IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 30 TO 35 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT
280600Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 8.2S
66.6E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: AN AREA OF CONVECTION NEAR 8.2S 66.6E, APPROXIMATELY
260 NM WEST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS PERSISTED OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS.
RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS DEEP CON-
VECTION FLARING OVER A WELL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
AND CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE OF
THE DISTURBANCE. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS LOW VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR OVER THE SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH AN ANTICYCLONE ALOFT AND
GOOD WESTWARD AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS
ARE ESTIMATED AT 30 TO 35 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. BASED ON IMPROVING LOW LEVEL
ORGANIZATION AND THE FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT, THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED
BY 291100Z.//

REMARKS:
282100Z POSITION NEAR 10.0S 67.3E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10s, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 345 NM WEST-
SOUTHWEST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. WHILE THE SYSTEM IS STILL CONSOLIDATING,
A 281326Z QUIKSCAT PASS SHOWED AN OBSERVATION OF OVER 40 KNOTS AND
DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES JUSTIFIED THE ISSUANCE OF A WARNING.
MODEL GUIDANCE ON THIS SYSTEM WAS SPARSE BUT CONFIDENCE IN A GEN-
ERAL SOUTHWARD TRACK IS HIGH. SYSTEM SHOULD INTENSIFY AT A STEADY
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE WITH GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT. THIS WARNING SUPER-
SEDES AND CANCELS REF A, NAVPACMETOCCEN 281051Z JAN 07 TROPICAL

REMARKS:
290900Z POSITION NEAR 12.1S 66.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10s, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 440 NM SOUTHWEST
OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 10S IS TRACKING GENERALLY SOUTHWARD ALONG
THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL STEERING RIDGE TO
THE NORTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM. A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH TO THE SOUTH IS
INDUCING A BREAK IN SUBTROPICAL RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN INDIAN
OCEAN, BUT THIS RIDGING WILL BUILD TO THE SOUTH OF THE STORM AS
THE TROUGH TRANSITS EASTWARD AND WILL PROVIDE A COMPETING WESTWARD
STEERING INFLUENCE AFTER TAU 24. THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY
AT A GREATER THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH TAU 24 UNDER THE IN-
FLUENCE OF EXCELLENT EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW AND A DEVELOPING POLEWARD
OUTFLOW CHANNEL ENHANCED BY THE FOREMENTIONED MIDLATITUDE TROUGH.
THE STORM WILL INTENSIFY MORE SLOWLY BETWEEN TAU 24 AND TAU 48 DUE
TO INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 290600Z IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 292100Z AND 300900Z.//

REMARKS:
292100Z POSITION NEAR 12.9S 64.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S DORA, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 740 NM NORTHEAST OF
LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE PAST
SIX HOURS. TC 10S HAS INTENSIFIED AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE OVER THE
PAST TWELVE HOURS. THE CURRENT FORECAST REFLECTS A MORE WESTWARD TRACK
THAN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. TC 10S IS TRACKING ALONG THE NORTHERN PER-
IPHERY OF THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH
OF THE SYSTEM. RECENT SATELLITE AND UPPER AIR ANALYSIS INDICATE THAT
THE RIDGE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED FASTER THAN EXPECTED AND
IS CENTERED NEAR 15S 61E. TC 10S WILL CONTINUE TRACKING WEST-SOUTHWEST-
WARD TO SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE AVAILABLE
DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE OFFICIAL FORECAST.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES THAT OUTFLOW IS SLIGHTLY
HINDERED ON THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT, HOWEVER, OUTFLOW REMAINS GOOD
OVERALL. TC 10S WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE
WITHIN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH TAU 48. AFTER TAU 48, AN
APPROACHING MIDLATITUDE SHORTWAVE WILL WEAKEN THE STEERING RIDGE
AND PRODUCE A MORE POLEWARD TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 291800Z IS 22 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 300900Z AND 302100Z.

REMARKS:
300900Z POSITION NEAR 12.8S 65.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 750 NM
NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS REMAINED QUASI-STATIONARY OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. OVER THE PAST TWELVE HOURS, TC 10S HAS INTENSIFIED
AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE. THROUGH TAU 24, TC 10S WILL DRIFT SLOWLY
SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD IN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN THE
MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST AND ANOTHER STR TO
THE SOUTHWEST. BEYOND TAU 24, THE STR SOUTHWEST OF TC 10S WILL
SHIFT EASTWARD AND BEGIN STEERING THE SYSTEM SOUTHWESTWARD. THIS
SCENARIO IS SUPPORTED BY THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, WHICH ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT. THROUGH TAU 36, TC 10S WILL INTENSIFY AT A CLIMA-
TOLOGICAL RATE IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH GOOD EQUATORWARD
OUTFLOW. BEYOND TAU 36, RESTRICTED POLEWARD OUTFLOW WILL DECREASE
THE RATE OF INTENSIFICATION. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND
OF PERSISTENCE AND A CONSENSUS OF ALL AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 300600Z IS 26 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 302100Z AND 310900Z.

REMARKS:
302100Z POSITION NEAR 13.3S 65.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 750 NM
NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS, TC 10S HAS INTENSIFIED
AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE. THE 30/12Z 500MB ANALYSIS INDICATES
THAT THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED WITHIN A WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT WITH
A MID-LEVEL RIDGE NORTHEAST AND ANOTHER RIDGE POSITIONED SOUTH.
TC 10S IS CURRENTLY TRACKING TOWARD A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE, WHICH WAS CREATED BY A NEGATIVELY-TILTED MIDLATITUDE SHORT-
WAVE TROUGH. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY TRACK SOUTH SOUTHEAST-
WARD TO SOUTHWARD THROUGH TAU 24, BUT WILL GRADUALLY TURN SOUTH
SOUTHWESTWARD AS THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH SHIFTS EAST AND THE
RIDGE TO THE SOUTH BECOMES THE DOMINANT STEERING INFLUENCE. THE
DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO BUT INDICATE
FASTER TRACK SPEEDS. THE CURRENT FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS
OF THE DYNAMIC AIDS AS WELL AS SYNOPTIC REASONING. TC 10S WILL
CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH 24 HOURS
BUT IS EXPECTED TO ONLY INTENSIFY SLOWLY AFTER TAU 24 DUE TO
DECREASED POLEWARD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
301800Z IS 26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 310900Z AND 312100Z.//

REMARKS:
310900Z POSITION NEAR 13.9S 65.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 740 NM
NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 03
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THROUGH TAU 48, TC 10S WILL
CONTINUE TRACKING SLOWLY SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD IN A WEAK STEERING
ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN A MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE
EAST OF THE TC AND A SECOND STR TO SOUTH OF THE TC. AFTER TAU 48,
AN APPROACHING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH CURRENTLY SOUTH OF THE
MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL WILL CAUSE THE SOUTHERN STR TO SHIFT AND BECOME
THE DOMINANT STEERING INFLUENCE. THIS SCENARIO IS SUPPORTED BY
THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, WHICH HAVE RECENTLY COME INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT. BEYOND TAU 48, AN ALTERNATE SCENARIO IS POSSIBLE WHERE
THE PASSING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH COULD DEEPEN THE WEAKNESS IN THE
STR AND CAUSE THE TC TO CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD. TC 10S
IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE
THROUGH TAU 48 DUE TO REDUCED EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW AND DECREASING
POLEWARD OUTFLOW AFTER TAU 36. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A
BLEND OF PERSISTENCE AND A CONSENSUS OF ALL AVAILABLE DYNAMIC
AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 310600Z IS 30 FEET.

REMARKS:
312100Z POSITION NEAR 14.4S 66.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 735 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 04
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. A MID TO UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED
SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY INDUCING ITS SLOW SOUTHEASTWARD
TRACK. ADDITIONALLY, AN EXTENTION OF THIS LOW HAS BEEN IMPINGING
ON CONVECTION ON THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT OF 10S AND INHIBITING
INTENSIFICATION DESPITE GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THE CURRENT FORECAST
CALLS FOR A CONTINUED SLOW SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK AS THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE OUT TO THE SOUTHEAST. THE PRESENCE OF
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IS ALSO INHIBITING AN ANTICYCLONE EAST OF
MADAGASCAR FROM BUILDING SOUTH OF THE STORM, WHICH WOULD INDUCE A
SOUTHWESTWARD TURN IN THE TRACK. THE AVAILABLE OBJECTIVE AIDS PRESENT
TWO FORECAST SOLUTIONS. THE GFS, NOGAPS, GFDN, AND WBAR ARE ALL
DEPICTING THE UPPER LEVEL LOW QUICKLY MOVING EASTWARD AND THE
ANTICYCLONE BUILDING IN BEHIND IT, INDUCING A TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST
AT 48 HOURS. IN CONTRAST, UKMO KEEPS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW SOUTH OF
THE SYSTEM AND THE ANTICYCLONE TO THE WEST OF THE SYSTEM, THUS
MAINTAINING SLOW MOVEMENT AND A SOUTHEASTWARD TRACK IN THE EXTENDED
TAUS. TC 10S WILL INTENSIFY AT A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH
24 HOURS DUE TO CONTINUED IMPINGEMENT BY THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. AS THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW MIGRATES SLOWLY EASTWARD, POLEWARD OUTFLOW WILL BE
FURTHER ENHANCED, CAUSING SLIGHTLY MORE RAPID INTENSIFICATION.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 311800Z IS 32 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 760 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AT
06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 10S IS TRACKING GENERALLY
SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A NEAR EQUA-
TORIAL RIDGE ANCHORED EAST OF THE SYSTEM AND PARALLEL TO THE
AXIS OF A MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE
SYSTEM. THIS MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE FORE-
CAST PERIOD WITH FORWARD TRACK SPEED DECREASING SLIGHTLY AS
SUBTROPICAL RIDGING OVER MADAGASCAR BUILDS EASTWARD TO THE SOUTH
OF THE SYSTEM AND PROVIDES A SLIGHT NORTH TO NORTHWESTWARD PUSH.
THE FOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS INTRODUCING STABLER AIR
TO THE WEST OF THE SYSTEM, HOWEVER GOOD EASTWARD AND EQUATORWARD
OUTFLOW ARE EXPECTED TO OFFSET THE NEGATIVE INFLUENCE OF FUTURE
STABLE AIR ENTRAINMENT AND ALLOW FOR SLOW INTENSIFICATION. THE
AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO,
ALTHOUGH MOST DEPICT SLIGHTLY FASTER FORWARD TRACK SPEEDS.

DEVIATES FROM THE GUIDANCE AND PREVIOUS FORECAST REASONING, KEEPING
THE SYSTEM TRACKING ON A MORE SOUTHWESTERN TO SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERN
TRACK THROUGH TAU 48. CURRENT SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES A SERIES OF
TROUGHS TRANSITING IN THE MID-LATITUDES WILL KEEP THE RIDGE EXTENSION
FROM FORMING. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE EQUATORIAL
OUTFLOW FOR THE SYSTEM HAS DIMINISHED OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, BUT AN

REMARKS:
020900Z POSITION NEAR 17.9S 68.1E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 740 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 10S CONTINUES TO MEANDER SOUTHWARD ALONG
THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH-
EAST. THE SYSTEM HAS TURNED SLIGHTLY SOUTHWESTWARD OVER THE PAST
TWELVE HOURS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A COMPETING, SUBTROPICAL STEERING
RIDGE ANCHORED OVER MADAGASCAR AND EXTENDING EASTWARD TO THE SOUTH
OF THE STORM. THIS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INFLU-
ENCING STORM MOTION EARLY IN THE FORECAST PERIOD. HOWEVER, AN
APPROACHING SERIES OF MIDLATITUDE TROUGHS WILL WEAKEN THE EASTWARD
EXTENSION OF THIS RIDGE AND ALLOW THE STORM TO CONTINUE TRACKING
SOUTHWARD AFTER TAU 24. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY WEAKEN AS
ENTRAINMENT OF STABLER AIR, INTRODUCED BY UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING TO
THE WEST OF THE STORM, AND DIMISHING EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW TAKE EFFECT.
BRIEF ENHANCEMENTS OF POLEWARD OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL
LOW CURRENTLY TO THE SOUTHEAST AND PASSAGE OF MIDLATITUDE TROUGHS TO
THE SOUTH ARE POSSIBLE, AND SHOULD PREVENT THE STORM FROM WEAKENING
RAPIDLY. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 020600Z IS 35 FEET. NEXT

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 720 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 10S HAS SLOWLY TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWEST-
WARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A FINGER OF THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL
RIDGE (NER) LOCATED EAST OF THE TC. OVER THE PAST TWELVE HOURS, TC
10S HAS SLOWED DUE TO COMPETING INFLUENCES OF THE NER AND A SUB-
TROPICAL RIDGE (STR) ANCHORED OVER MADAGASCAR AND EXTENDING EASTWARD
TO THE SOUTH OF THE TC. THE COMPETING INFLUENCES OF THE NER AND THE
STR WILL PERSIST THROUGH TAU 48, STEERING TC 10S SLOWLY AND SLIGHTLY
WEST OF SOUTH. OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, TC 10S HAS INTENSIFIED AT A
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE. THE TC IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY THROUGH
TAU 12 AND THEN WEAKEN AT A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGIAL RATE DUE TO
DECREASING POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THIS SCENARIO IS SUPPORTED BY THE
AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, WHICH ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THE

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 685 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 10S REMAINS UNDER THE COMPETING STEERING
INFLUENCES OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO ITS NORTHEAST AND THE SUB-
TROPICAL RIDGE (STR) BRANCH TO ITS SOUTHWEST. THE SYSTEM HAS INTENS-
IFIED SLIGHTLY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, AS IT HAS TAKEN ON SOME CHAR-
ACTERISTICS OF AN ANNULAR TROPICAL CYCLONE WITH A DONUT SHAPED AP-
PEARANCE AND APPARENT REDUCTION IN OUTFLOW CHANNELS. TC 10S IS FORE-
CAST TO CONTINUE ON A SLOW, SOUTHWESTWARD DRIFT THROUGH THE FIRST 24
HOURS, DUE TO THE COMPETING STEERING INFLUENCES. AFTER TAU 24, A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY SOUTHEAST OF MADAGASCAR WILL HELP BREAK
DOWN THE STR BRANCH ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. THE
RESULTING STR WEAKNESS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK. THE
GFDN, NOGAPS, AND GFS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH A MORE SOUTHERLY
TRACK AFTER TAU 24. IN CONTRAST, THE UKMO MODEL INDICATES A STRONGER
STR THAT BUILDS SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM, INDUCING A MORE SOUTHWESTWARD
TRACK. LESS EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THIS SCENARIO, SINCE THE UKMO SEEMS
TO BE UNDERESTIMATING THE STRENGTH OF THE TROUGH SOUTHEAST OF MAD-
AGASCAR IN COMPARISON TO WATER VAPOR. TC 10S IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN AT
A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE DUE TO ITS DIMINISHED POLEWARD OUT-
FLOW CHANNEL. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 030600Z IS 43 FEET.

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 635 NM EAST
OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 05 KTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS.
RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY AND A 040604Z AMSU MICROWAVE
PASS INDICATE THAT THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE
PAST 12 HOURS, AS CONVECTION ON THE WESTERN HALF OF THE LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS ERODED. SYNOPTIC ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT
A BUILDING MIDLATITUDE ANTICYCLONE SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM NEAR 40S
HAS LED TO THE INFLOW OF COOLER, DRIER AIR INTO THE CENTER OF TC 10S.
TC 10S IS CURRENTLY TRACKING WESTWARD, STEERED BY A NARROW MIDLATITUDE
EXTENTION OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH. A GENERALLY WESTWARD
TRACK WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TAU 24, WITH THE SYSTEM CONTINUING TO
WEAKEN RAPIDLY DUE TO CONTINUED COOLER INFLOW AND INCREASING VERTICAL
SHEAR. AFTER TAU 24, TC 10S WILL TAKE A MORE SOUTHWESTWARD TURN, AS
A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL BEGINS TO
BREAK DOWN THE STEERING RIDGE SOUTH OF 10S. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC
AIDS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO, WITH EGRR CONTINUING
TO DEPICT LESS OF A SOUTHWARD TURN THEN THE REMAINING AIDS. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 040600Z IS 41 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT

TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 640 NM EAST
OF LA REUNION, HAS REMAINED QUASI-STATIONARY OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS.
THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE OVER THE PAST TWELVE
HOURS. THROUGH TAU 12, TC 10S WILL REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY BETWEEN
TWO COMPETING STEERING RIDGES LOCATED SOUTH AND EAST OF THE SYSTEM.
TC 10S WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH TAU
12 DUE TO REDUCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND ENTRAINMENT OF DRIER AIR. FROM
TAU 12 TO TAU 48, TC 10S WILL SLOWLY TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG
THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A LOW TO MID LEVEL STEERING RIDGE LOCATED
SOUTH OF THE TC. THE RATE OF WEAKENING WILL SLOW BETWEEN TAU 12 AND
TAU 48 AS A PASSING MIDLATITUDE TROUGH WILL TEMPORARILY IMPROVE THE
POLEWARD OUTFLOW. THIS SCENARIO IS SUPPORTED BY THE AVAILABLE
DYNAMIC AIDS, WHICH ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH EGRR BEING THE
WESTERNMOST TRACK. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE
AND A CONSENSUS OF THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 041800Z IS 38 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 050900Z AND

HOURS. THE STORM HAS CONTINUED TO WEAKEN AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE
OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY AND A
050349Z TRMM PASS INDICATE CONVECTION IS BEING SHEARED TO THE

GRADIENT NORTH OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET. TC 10S IS CURRENTLY BEING
STEERED ON THE NORTHERN FLANK ON OF A MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO ITS SOUTH.
A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER MADAGASCAR WILL CAUSE A REORIENT-

REMARKS:
070900Z POSITION NEAR 21.9S 63.0E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 425 NM EAST
OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST 06 HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY REVEALS A LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) THAT HAS BECOME FULLY EXPOSED FROM THE
DEEPEST AREAS OF CONVECTION LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 60 NM TO THE EAST.
THE LLCC REMAINS WELL ORGANIZED AND CONTINUES TO TRACK WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD WHILE THE CONVECTION IS BEING SHEARED TO THE SOUTH.
THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS TOWARDS A REGION OF
HIGHER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. TC 10S WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK ERRATICALLY
TO THE SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF WEAK RIDGING TO THE
SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM. TC 10S IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE WEAKENING AND
DISSIPATE AS A TROPICAL SYSTEM BY TAU 24. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 070600Z IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 072100Z.//

REMARKS:
072100Z POSITION NEAR 23.1S 63.5E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 455 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD AT 08 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM HAS INTENSIFIED AT A LESS THAN
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE OVER THE PAST TWELVE HOURS. TC 10S IS TRACKING
GENERALLY SOUTHWARD TOWARDS A SLIGHT WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL
STEERING RIDGE CAUSED BY A PASSING LOW TO MID-LEVEL TROUGH. BY TAU
24, THE RIDGE WILL BECOME RE-ESTABLISHED SOUTH OF THE TC AND STEER
TC 10S MORE WESTWARD. THIS SCENARIO IS SUPPORTED BY THE AVAILABLE
DYNAMIC AIDS, WHICH ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT. TC 10S WILL INTENSIFY AT
A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH TAU 12 DUE TO IMPROVED
POLEWARD OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH A PASSING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH.
FROM TAU 24, TC 10S WILL WEAKEN AT A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE
DUE TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON A
CONSENSUS OF ALL AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 071800Z IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 080900Z AND 082100Z.

REMARKS:
080900Z POSITION NEAR 25.0S 63.0E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 465 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED AFTER A BRIEF FLARE OF CON-
VECTION OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). RECENT ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY REVEALS THAT THE LLCC IS PARTIALLY EXPOSED WITH
THE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION LOCATED TO ITS SOUTH. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES THAT 10S IS IN A REGION OF HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS)
AS IT IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET. THE SYSTEM WILL
TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST AS A 700 MB RIDGE BUILDS SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM.
THE STORM IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE AS A TROPICAL SYSTEM BY TAU 24 DUE
TO THE CONTINUED EFFECTS OF HIGH VWS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 080600Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 082100Z.

LOCATED SOUTH OF THE TC. THIS SCENARIO IS SUPPORTED BY THE
AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, WHICH ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT. TC 10S WILL
WEAKEN AT A LESS THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE DUE TO COMPETING
INFLUENCES OF STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW, MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR,

REMARKS:
090900Z POSITION NEAR 26.3S 62.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 10S (DORA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 475 NM
SOUTHEAST OF LA REUNION, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY AND A
090337Z SSMIS PASS INDICATE 10S STILL HAS A WELL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC), BUT HAS LOST ALL DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE
PAST 24 HOURS. SOME WEAK CONVECTION PERSISTS TO THE SOUTH OF THE
LLCC,
ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW LEVEL CONVERGENT BAND. THE TC 10S WILL
CONTINUE
TO WEAKEN, AND WILL HAVE COMPLETELY DISSIPATED AS A TROPICAL SYSTEM
BY
TAU 12. BEYOND TAU 12, THE WEAK LOW LEVEL WILL DRIFT SLOWLY
SOUTHWEST-
WARD, ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF AN ANTICYCLONE ANCHORED NEAR 38S.
MODERATE TO HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE REGION IS EXPECTED TO
INHIBIT ANY REDEVELOPMENT OF DEEP CONVECTION. THIS IS THE FINAL WARN-
ING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER
(NAVPACMETOCCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF
REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 090600Z IS 12 FEET.
