2.C ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
T=CI=5.0

AFTER A WEAKENING LAST NIGHT, THE CLOUD PATTERN OF BATSIRAI HAS
IMPROVED, PRESENTING AGAIN AN EYE ON THE LAST MICROWAVE SSMIS OF
0026Z, AND PARTIAL AMSR2 OF 0907Z, AS WELL AS ON THE SATELLITE
ANIMATION IN VISIBLE CHANNEL.THE ACCELERATION OF THE SYSTEM HAS
WEAKENED THE IMPACT OF THE SHEAR ON THE SYSTEM,(SHEAR WHICH HAS ALSO
WEAKENED BY THE WAY), ALLOWING A NEW PHASE OF INTENSIFICATION.


BATSIRAI IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TWO CONTRADICTORY STEERING FLOWS
COMING FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHWEST AND A
MID-TROPOSPHERIC RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST. TODAY, WITH THE SHIFT OF THE
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM AND THE MAINTENANCE
OF THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE NEAR THE EQUATOR TO THE NORTHEAST, IT
SHOULD MOVE ON A GENERAL WEST-SOUTHWEST TO SOUTHWEST TRAJECTORY. ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, IT WILL CIRCULATE CLOSE TO THE NORTH OF
MAURITIUS AND REUNION WHILE A WEAK RIDGE OF MID-TROPICAL PRESSURE
TRANSITS TEMPORARILY TO THE SOUTH. FROM THURSDAY, THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE WILL STRENGTHEN FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND THE NEAR EQUATORIAL
RIDGE WILL FADE, ALLOWING A RESUMPTION OF A GENERAL WESTERLY TRACK
TOWARDS THE EAST COAST OF MADAGASCAR.

WHILE THE CIMSS IS NOW ANALYZING A DEEP EASTERLY SHEAR THAT HAS
CONTINUED TO WEAKEN AT 17 KT (06Z) AND A SPEED OF THE SYSTEM THAT HAS
INCREASED, THE STRUCTURE OF THE SYSTEM HAS IMPROVED IN THE MORNING
WITH THE APPEARANCE OF A VISIBLE EYE IN THE EARLY MORNING. THIS ONE
STILL PRESENTS A SHREDDED CHARACTERTHIS CONSTRAINT SHOULD STILL BE
PRESENT FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS, BUT WITH A MORE LIMITED IMPACT,
BECAUSE OF THE SPEED OF MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM.
HOWEVER, ON THE FORECAST TRACK, THE SYSTEM IS APPROACHING THE AXIS OF
THE RIDGE OF HIGH ALTITUDE WHICH, COMBINED WITH OTHER VERY FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS, SHOULD FAVOR A MORE DEFINITE
RE-INTENSIFICATION, POSSIBLY TO THE STAGE OF INTENSE TROPICAL
CYCLONE. THEREAFTER, CONDITIONS COULD REMAIN FAVORABLE UNTIL THE
ARRIVAL OVER MADAGASCAR. FLUCTUATIONS IN INTENSITY RELATED TO ONE OR
MORE EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLES ARE THEN LIKELY. THE LOW
PREDICTABILITY OF THESE MECHANISMS MAINTAINS AN UNCERTAINTY ON THE
INTENSITY PREDICTION.
 A LARGER AND LARGER STRUCTURE OF THE WIND FIELD IS EXPECTED IN THE
NEXT FEW YEARS (POSSIBLY LINKED TO A FIRST CYCLE OF EYEWALL
REPLACEMENT) SIGNIFICANTLY ENLARGING THE SYSTEM'S ZONE OF INFLUENCE
(SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS POSSIBLE AT A DISTANCE)

IMPACTS ON INHABITED LANDS :
- MAURITIUS AND REUNION : A DEGRADATION SHOULD SET UP ON MAURITIUS
THEN REUNION FROM TUESDAY EVENING. IF THE HEART OF THE CYCLONE SHOULD
PASS MORE NORTH OF THE ISLANDS, SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE PERIPHERY
ARE TO BE FEARED. THESE BAD WEATHER CAN EXTEND UNTIL FRIDAY MORNING:
THE PROBABILITIES ARE NOW STRONG THAT THE ISLANDS ARE CONCERNED BY
WINDS OF GALE FORCE (GUSTS TO 100-120 KM/H ON THE COAST BEING ABLE TO
EXCEED 150 KM/H ON THE INHABITED HIGHS IN PARTICULAR IN REUNION). IT
IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE IS A 20-30% CHANCE TO HAVE STORM
FORCE WINDS (WORST CASE SCENARIO WITH 130-150 KM/H GUSTS, ABOVE 150
KM/H  POSSIBLE ON THE HIGHLANDS OF REUNION IN PARTICULAR). THE
CUMULATED RAINFALL CAN LOCALLY EXCEED 100 MM IN 24H ON MAURITIUS AND
THE COASTAL AREAS OF REUNION. MUCH MORE IMPORTANT ACCUMULATIONS ARE
EXPECTED ON THE RELIEF OF REUNION (+500/600 MM IN 24H POSSIBLE). A
VERY DEGRADED SEA STATE WITH WAVES OF MORE THAN 5M IN AVERAGE HEIGHT
AND AN ABNORMAL RISE OF SOME TENS OF CENTIMETERS OF THE SEA LEVEL,
ARE EXPECTED ON THE EXPOSED COASTS.
THESE FORECASTS STILL NEED TO BE CONFIRMED AND PEOPLE ARE INVITED TO
FOLLOW THE EVOLUTION OF THE SITUATION.

- MADAGASCAR : CYCLONE EXPECTED TO ARRIVE AT THE END OF THE WEEK ON
THE EAST COAST, POTENTIALLY STILL AT A DANGEROUS STAGE. THE
PROBABILITY OF IMPACT IS INCREASING FOR THE CENTRAL EASTERN REGION
(IN A FIRST LARGE ESTIMATION, BETWEEN SAINTE-MARIE ISLAND IN THE
NORTH AND FARAFANGANA IN THE SOUTH). WITH A POSSIBLE BEGINNING OF
RAIN AND WIND IMPACTS FROM FRIDAY, THE INHABITANTS OF THESE REGIONS
ARE INVITED TO FOLLOW THE PROGRESSION OF THIS SYSTEM.=
