REMARKS:
281500Z6 POSITION NEAR 19.8S8 49.8E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 11S (FARI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 185 NM EAST
OF
ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWEST AT 10 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 281130Z5 ENHANCED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES
WEAKENING CONVECTION IN THE WESTERN QUADRANT AS THE SYSTEM
APPROACHES LAND. A DEEPENING TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO PROPAGATE
EASTWARD AND WEAKEN THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SOUTHEAST
OF THE SYSTEM BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. TC 11S IS FORECAST TO TRACK
SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE PERIOD TOWARD THE WEAKNESS. THE SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY BRIEFLY DUE TO GOOD UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW
CONDITIONS AND THEN BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS IT INTERACTS WITH MADAGASCAR.
THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS, CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, UK MET GLOBAL, AND
AVN ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT. OUR FORECAST IS BASED ON A BLEND OF ALL
AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 281200Z3
IS 09 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 290300Z4 AND 291500Z7.//
