REMARKS:
312100Z7 POSITION NEAR 20.4S6 44.0E8.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 09S (ELITA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 170 NM
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR , HAS MOVED WESTWARD AT
12 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON
311730Z5 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY
IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 35 KNOTS. TC 09S
IS JUST INLAND OF THE WESTERN MADAGASCAR SHORELINE AND IS EXPECTED TO
FURTHER INTENSIFY ONCE IT MOVES OVER THE WARM WATERS OF THE MOZAMBIQUE
CHANNEL. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS THAT DEEP
CONVECTION IS INCREASING AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OFFSHORE. ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS GOOD OUTFLOW IN BOTH THE EQUATORWARD AND POLEWARD
DIRECTIONS. TC 09S IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING WESTWARD AND THEN
BECOME QUASISTATIONARY AS IT TRANSITIONS TO A DIFFERENT STEERING
ENVIRONMENT. TC 09S IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AT A CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE
OR HIGHER AS THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC MODELS PREDICT GOOD OUTFLOW FOR THE
ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. THE DYNAMIC AIDS, CONSISTING OF NOGAPS, NCEP GFS,
AND UKMET EGRR, ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 311800Z3 IS 08 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 010900Z0
AND 012100Z4. REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 10S (FRANK) AND 11S (LINDA)
WARNINGS (WTXS32/WTXS33 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES.//
